In his letter defining his position. Maj. Fitts characterizes Blaine as “a politician whose idea of official trust is bounded by its capacity to yield him gain, a falsifier, and a' would-be suborner of perjury." [Boston telegram.] The Independent Republican movement in this State has received another notable recrnlt in ex-Representative Edwin N. Hill, of Haverhill, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the local Blaine and Logan club, and whose name had been placed on the Republican State Committee's list of campaign speakers.
