Family Record.

Washington ID. C) specia..
Representative Littletield, OF Maine,
tells this:
"A really good minister generally has
a ready answer for him who would cast
a slur on the Bible or on religion. 1t
seems that the good Lord has furnished
them with the ammunition which is al
ways ready to be fired into the scoffer
and sinner.
I'm my state a good minister had an
appointment to preach at n of the
small places, a rougn-and-ready sort of
Joint, where the men didn't care much
how things went. 1t was Saturday even

vote his entire time to the work Of the
ampaign. In a measure, this would in
yolve a personal sacrifice.
The suggestion of Secretary Cortelyou
for chairman does not meet the approval
of the presidents more experienced po-
litical advisers. He has been inyestigat-
ing the trusts and combinations of cap
ital, and the democrats, they say, would
at once charge that he was selected as
chairman to use the information he pos
sessed to bring the trusts and c~apitalistic
combinations to terms, and compel them
to contribute to the republican cam
paign.
It is asserted with emphasis that no
absolute decision yet has been reached,
but prominent men in the councils of
the republican party have impressed on
the president the destrability of Secre-
tary Cortelyou's selection.
1t is reasonably certain that ]. w.
Blythe, o fIowa, will be prominently iden-
titled with the conduct Of the republican
campaign in the west, and it is likely
that he may be the vice chairman Of the
national committee or a subchairman
in charge of the western end of the cam
palgn. For a time he was urged by Sen
ator Allison for the Craftsmanship, but it
is probable he will occupy the position
here indicated.
Cornelius N. Bliss, Of New York, for
many years treasurer of the national
committee, probably will again fll that
position.
