GERMAN PRESS. 48— New York Staatz Zeitung, Rep. 49 New York Puck, Ind. Rep: 50— Rochester, N. Y., Aleud Post, Rep. 51— -Brooklyn, N. Y., Freie Presse, Rep. 52 Buffalo Freie Presse, Rep. 53 Cincinnati Volksfreund, Ind. 54 Chicago Staatz Zeitung, Rep. 55 — Chicago Freie Presse, Rep. 56 Milwaukee Der Herald, Rep. 57 Milwaukee Freie Presse, Rep. 58— St Louis Auzeiger, Rep. 59 St. Joseph, Mo., Volksblatt, 60— Topeka, Kas. Telegraph, Rep. Cleveland has the solid support of the German press, without a single exception, in Wisconsin, lowa, Illinois and Kansas, and the same in Ohio and Michigan, with few exceptions. The German population of the several States mentioned is as follows: Ohio, 192,597; Illinois, 235,786; Wisconsin, 184,328; Michigan, 89,085; lowa, 88,268; Minnesota, 66,592. CHRISTIAN PRESS SUPPORTING CLEVELAND. 61— Congregationalist. 62 Christian Register. 63 Christian Union. 64 — Christian At Work. 65 Weekly Witness. 66 Baptist Weekly. 67 Baptist Record.

Here is a list of 67 of the most important papers of the United States, and with one exception they supported Garfield four years ago. They are now all heartily supporting Cleveland and Hendricks. By adding the smaller papers that have come out in , opposition to Blaine and Logan the list might be greatly enlarged, but this is enough to show the drift of public feeling. The estimated daily circulation of the above papers reaches about 1,500,000 copies, while the weekly German publications are estimated at 1 nearly 500,000 copies. It will be strange indeed if these papers exert no influence on the public mind, and we point to them as one of the many significant signs of Democratic success.

The Democratic watch word, Tell the Truth, should be painted on every dead wall and written across every path this campaign, so that he who runs may read. It should stand as a constant reminder to everybody that the difference between Cleveland and Blaine is the difference between truth and falsehood —the difference between honesty and dishonesty. There is not one Methodist in Indiana that is truly and honestly a Christian, that will vote for Calkins, after reading widow Duncan’s letter. Mrs. Duncan is a devout Christian and an earnest worker in the M. E. Church, and each minister should read her letter from hia pulpit.—[Albion Democrat,
