Blaine's Catholic remarks hurt his campaign say critics
The New York Sun notes Blaine mocked Catholic testimony from Rev. Hamilton, a southern Democrat priest, calling into question his Republican prospects. It contrasts Blaine’s own Catholic upbringing and warns against sectarian prejudice from a candidate of any faith. It also reports Wells Fargo’s 1875 precious metal production across western states reaching 80.88 million dollars, with Nevada and others rising, and projects 1876 output near 100 million. It mentions Newburg revival farewell kissed by Mrs. Van Cott, and Chicago Times commentary that the display was improper yet regrettable on balance.
