Quite frequently good-natured

more wit and good sound sense
than most of the company combin-

could present their side of the case
as well as he. 1t is well to say
that there were few of other de-
nominations occasionally present,
although there were but the two
churches in the village or very
near.
On one occasion the discussion
got very warm,every one present
having his say excepting a jolly,
good-natured Dutchman who sat
quietly smoking the regulation clay
pipe of.the period. Each asserted
positively he was right, conse-
quently all others must be wrong.
The Baptist said no one could en-
ter the kingdom unless immersed.
The Presbyterian said you must
come by the way of Calvin. while
the lrishman stoutly affirmed that
the pope held the only key and
the one which came in direct line
from st. Peter. The Methodist
said the door to the kingdom was
as broad as necessity. and would
open to "whomSoever would.

WILLIAM R. HEARST.

The COURIER gives prominence
today to a magazine article which we
find in the Brown Book of Bos-
TOM in reference to our distin-
guished fellow citizen, Hon. VIM.
X. Hearst of New York. We do
not know the name of the writer,
and regret that we do not. His
sketch of his distinguished subject
is interesting and there is genuine
homely and friendly touch about
everything relating to this great
journalist and greater American
citizen, that increases the number
of his friends and admirers as more
becomes known of him.
This distinguished American al
though born, as the Brown Book"
states. with golden spoon in his
mouth" was not spoiled thereby.
but in all his acts good, strong
sense and natural, innate, generous
noble heartedness has marked his
career, since his first introduction
to his countrymen. To specify all
his generous acts would be super
fluous now, for these will find ex-
preston very probably at slight
ly later date.
Mr.. Hearst has frequently, in
recent months, been mentioned as
the nominee of the Democratic
party for President of the United
States by the Democratic National
Convention in 1894, and by those
who know him best. Our great
party would make no mistake in
the nomination of Mr.. Hearst. for
during the campaign of next year
he would become known To all the
people of the United States. his
friends would see to it that the
nobleness of his character as a
public man and his great ability
and fitness for the position, were
fully exemplified, and should this
be the case and he become known
as he Is, every true American
would love him and vote for him.
and the great old democracy
thanked and glorified for present
ing VIM. r. Hearst as the party
candidate for President.
That he would be elected goes
almost without saying; that the
Government would be brought into
accord with the principles of true
republican government is assured.
that he would give to the American
people an administration satisfac-
tory to all is unquestioned by all
who know the man. and the liberty,
happiness and welfare of the peo-
pie be restored to every citizen.
