WEDNESDAY,, JULY 9, 1890.

Rev. E. K. Donaldson, the Presby
terrain pastor at Titusyille, N. j., in a re
cent sermon on ''Unjust Jndgmenis,n re
ferred to John Wanamaker in illustration
OF the utter recklessness with which evil.
disposed and thoughtless people attack
character, and said:
tiI am glad that Mr.. Wanamaker has
never turned aside to defend himself
against the charges of his adversaries, but
has relied upon q characteristic good
name of lifetime, as his best vindica-
ton.
''Then a most significant fact is that,
when that great commoner, Mr.. Randall,
came to die, he sent, not for q clergyman,
but for John Wanamaker, to come and
talk with him about his soul and point
him to Christ.
ssTho politically bis antagonist, yet as
his own townsman, Mr.. Randall knew
him and honored him, and could trust
him, IN his dying hour, sOith his i'm
mortal interests.
What better vindication could Mr..
Wanamaker want than this ~
It would not be appropriate, perhaps,
TO the sacred desk, but it may be justly
added 10 Rev. Mr.. Donaldson's condemna-
ton, that the editors who are guilty of
maligning Mr.. Wanamaker know that
they are lying when they assert that he
helped to raise corruption fund.- They
also know that they lie when they charge
him with "giving four hundred thousand
dollars toward that fund. The treat
ment that John Wanamaker has received
from large portion of the Democratic
press shows that that press is too largely
controlled by men who will not hesitate to
rob men of their good name in order to
gain party advantage. If the lot Of
these men had been cast amid other sur
roundings it would be dangerous to meet
them alone on unfrequented highways. A
man who wilfully will do the greater
crime would do the lesser II circumstance
and opportunity were propitious.
John Wanamaker is an example 10 our
young men of christian manliness, intcgri-
ty and business energy but because as a
Republican he put that energy and busi-
ness ability TO the furtherance of his party,
just as hundreds of Democrats did with
out censure, lie has been singled out from
among bis associates for the grossest at.
tacks upon his integrity. Not one particle
of evidence has ever been offered to prov,
these charges. Theyare naked assertions
