White House Creeds. In the past generation, or' since the time of Grant, the Methodists and the Presbyterians have been far more rep resented than all other denominations put together in the White House and among presidential candidates. Grant, Hayes and McKlnley were credited to the Methodists, and Tilden, Blaine, Cleveland, Harrison and Bryan to the Presbyterians. Greeley was a Univer salist, although various kinds of ec centric, ethical and religious ideas were attributed to him. Garfield was of the Campbellltes and once had been a preacher among them. Arthur had Episcopalian affiliations, and Roose velt is of the Dutch Reformed stock. Chicago Journal. A French Opinion. A Paris newspaper has been asking Its readers to name the twelve great est inventions.
