c IS BLAINE DAFT I A Claim That He Is AMicted With In-ßanitj.

Evidences of a Cistorted Mind III Reckless Contradictory Statements Dominating Egotism. Sciolist" in Eastern Arus, Portland, Me. Ia a previous paper I oiTered some considerations and presented some striking illustrations geing to establish an affirmative answer to the question propounded in the above heading. I maintain that a mind out of balance ia insane that Mr. Blaine's im pubivo temperament, the quickly absorbing nature of Lis mind, coupled with the stranj; grasp he takes of an idea presented to it, together combine to sway his mental faculties from their moorings and give .to him partial and distorted views ot things. I adduce his Connecticut 4th of July address," his City Hall speech on frauds of the census and his brochure on the division of surplus national revenue, as graphically illustrating the completeness tvith which an overmastering idea, for the time, controls his thoughts, his reasoning, Iiis utterances. Probably none of Louis Rapoieon's hallucinations were more striking or more baseless than were those o Mr. IBlalne not even the last, fatal one, under Vhich, with an army ill-oflicered and unprepared, he marched serenely, and with unusual pomp, to meet his fate at Sedan. I also adduced his apostacy to the Catholic Church and his communion with the Protestant Chnrch to illustrate the entirety cf the change of which his mental organization is capable. He not onlr changed from a Catholic to a Protestant, bat from tte former to the very extreme of the latter to Know-nothing bitterness and anti-popery nonsense. I w'll now make an inspection of his career as a politician, and inquire whether in this department also he has developed similar insane traits. In this aspect of his characteristics his honor and his honesty have l.ccn auestioned. Were his ideals of these traits of character wrong? It would not appear so. On the contrary, when his conduct was called in question in 1S7G with reference to some alleged negotiation of bonds between the Little Kock and Fort Smith and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroads, in which it was charged that he had a pecuniary interest and had used his oilicial inliuence to aid it. be rose in the House on the 18th of April of that year and declared: "I had no pecuniary stake in the negotiation, and I should have loved infamy for infamy's sake, had I bartered my personal and official honor in the transaction." "When secrecy is necessary (in a transaction), an avoidance is desirable." "I have never done anything in my public career for which I could be put to the faintest blush in any presence, and for which I can not answer to my constituents, my conscience and the great Searcher of Hearts." Congressional Record, 170, vol. 4, part ?, page 2,725. No public man ever made a more complete disavowal of everytning dishonorable and dishonest. He even admits that if the charge brought against him were true that lie had a pecuniary interest in the railroad bond transaction and had used his personal and o:hcial influence in that behalf, it would Lave been infamous in him. He plumply denies that he had any such interest, and declares, therefore, that if he had exerted his personal and official influence, as alleged .him, it must have been "because he loved infamy for infamy's sake" a thing incredible of any rational being. He goes further. JJe denies the commission of any art in his public career, which could put him to "the Jaintest blush in any presence," and he invokes the gTeat Searcher of Hearts to bear witness to the truth of what he said. Now äs a matter of fact it i3 proved: 1. That Mr. Blaine obtained sundry letters from Mr. James Mulligan on his solemn promise to return them, which lettr3 he neter did return, but defiantly refused so lo do. 2. 'r. Ii'aine declared in regard to the Little Lock and Fort Smith bonJs: "1 bought :orue of these bonds not a very large amount paying for them precisely at hi same rates that others iaiI. I never Leard and do not believe that the Little Pock Con pany ever parted with a bond to any xerjon except at the regular price tired ior thf.r hole. Instead of receiving the bonds of the Little Lock aa4 Fjrt Jscii'h Lead as a gratuity, I never had one except at the regular market price '' On the contrary it is proved conclusizely ibat Mr. Blaine became en agent or braker 'or the tale of those bond; that parties in 2kfaine took some SlöOJ), par value, first mortgage bonds, together with an erjual amount of common stock and also of preferred stock; and that for the sile he t.lus made he received, as commission or gratuity, or both, $12-3,000 land grant bonds, $31,2jJ tirst mortgage bonii3 and $15,150 in ca3h a wide disparity certainly between the statements and the facia. In December, 1S72, when the Credit Mobilier investigation was begu-j, Mr. Blaine declared under oath in reference to stocx of 1he Credit Mobilier and of the Union Pacific itas'road Company : 'M wi-h to state, without reservation or 'juahncation, that I never oarned a share of the stock in tbe Credit Mobilier in my lite, either by gift, purcnase or in any way whatever. Nor did I ever receive, directly or indirectly, a single cent derived in any manner or shape from the Credit Mobilier or tLe 1 nion Pacific Lailroad Company. No por3on holds, or ever did hold, for me any stock in either corporation as agent or trustee, or in any capacity whatever. I wiah my testiiLony to be taken as exhaustive and as intended to exclude every form or phase of ownership in the Credit Mobilier or the T'nion Pacific Lailroad Company, both past oad present" This is Mr. B'aine's statement under oath before the Credit Mobilier Committee. Per contra, Mr. Blaine's letter to Warren Fisher, Jr.. under date of April 13, 1372, or eirht Tnonths before the above statement under catb, reads thus: "lieft with Mr. Mulligan (sic) January, 3S71, ?'i,000 in land grant bonds, Union Patific Lailroad, to be exchanged for a like amount of Little Lock land bonds with Mr. -Caldwell, he to chanee back when I denred. Mr. Caldwell declined to take them, and you took them without any negotiation witü me, or any authority fror.i me in regard to the matter. You placed the Little Rock land Londs in the envelop;, and I have the ongi ral envelope with Mulligan's endorsement "thereon of the fact of the delivery to you. jS'ow I do not complain of your taking tbe bonds, provided vou hold yourself bound to Teplace them. J he worst ot tbe wliole mat 1er was th3t the bonds were onlv part mine, and I have had to make good the oth;rs to the original owner. . From these three examples, in regard to hich there can be no denial; in regard to which there has been no attempt at ex T-lanation. as the facts fully explain them pelves, it must be'accepted that Mr. Blaine deliberately violated his pledge of honor, and that he falsified facts in regard to his ownership of stocks. In another of the Mulligan letters so-called, from one of which the above is an extract, Mr. Blaine, wnen iisccsinz the acquirement of an Interest in 4be Little Hock and Fort Smith Read, said that be should prove ''no deadhead in the nterprise" that be could "see many ways in which he could be nseful," anrt cauert at tenticn to a ruling which he had made as

Speaker, and which was of great value to the road. These proofs can lead to no other conclusion than that iu addition to deliberate utterance of untruths he bartered his personal and ollicial intiuence for pecuniary gain an offence which he had solemnly declared to be infamous from his seat in the House of Representatives at Wash

ington. It is plain that this phase of Mr. Blaine's character, or lack of it, can not be accounted for, as in the examples cited in my previous paper. Another element here comes in his domirating egotism. James G. Blaine was in danger: it was James G. Blaine's duty to save James G. Blaine, and at all hazards and by any device. He is so important a perscnage that anything is right, in his view, which will accomplish the object. This is a different phase of lunacy, from that previously discussed, but it is more common. The process by which tie conclusion is reached is simple. If a man's person is assailed the use of every needful weapon of defense is legitimate even to taking of life. The lunacy of egotism place? every assailant in the same category and justifies every means, including lying and perjury, to thwart the attack and save the crazy egotist. To many, Blaine's leap through a window to escape from Butler, seems cowardly and inexplicable. But analysis shows it to be natural. Mr. Blaine is for Mr. Blaine always. He could Dot get elected Speaker without Butler's help. He could not get that help without the promise of a certain position. The promise was indispensable to lift Blaine. Hut when up, the keeping of the promise pointed ia the other direction. It would probably lower Blame instead of raising him. The promise was not to be kept, ana the personal safety of Blaine might depend on avoidance of the pugnanacioos Butler. The window escapade was therefore natural. Tne same explanation applies to numerous other violations of promise. Mr. Blaine's insane streak runs upward. To eet upward he' steps upoa a friend as he would upon a block; and the bigger the friend the more it raises him in his own estimation. Thomas Laug, Governor Connor, General Chamberlain know bow it is. Even GarÜeld went to his death, impelled resLstlessly on by Mr. Blaine in that Sunday night interview, in which to avoid a threatened break up of his administion, the President falsified his pledge to ConkliDg, Arthur and James, and sent in Loberton s nomination for Collector of ew York the following morning. V The analysis whicn I have given of Mr. laine's character makes the explanation of his career easy. The one crave question still remains: Is he the right kind of man for President? The people must judge. If they elect him, they must not be disappointed if he fails them just when and where most is expected cf him. Age tends to increase the exaegera'.ed elements of his character, and to diminish the restraining imitations. As m Louis napoleon s case, if invested with power, he may bacome pos sessed of a hallucination and go as maily to his fate. THE BLAINE LIBEL SUIT, The Sentinel Files an Answer and Pleads Justification. Number of Interrogatories Propounded to the Plumed Knight. Judge Torpie and Sullivan A: Jones, on behalf of the defendants in the BlaineSentinel libel suit, yesterday Hied an answer which sets up the truth of the published matter on which suit is brought, tauj justi fying its publication. Below will te found the answer and the list of interrocatories oered,ai.d which the plaintiff will be made to answer under oath: The defendants answering herein sav that they admit the printing and publishing of the article set lorth in the complaint, in the Indianapolis Dailv Sentinel, of the S th day of August. 181, as herein charged, and that 5,0c0 copies of said newspaper were upon said day by tbe defendants circulated and distributed throughout said city of Indian apolis and the said State of Indiana, laese defendants deny that said aiticle was false , -V particular thereof, for the defendants eay that long before the date and time of publication of the article complained ol as a(ore:-aid, the said James G. Blaine, the piamtifi. was married in the city of Pittsburg, on or about the l"-th day of March, 1S1, to one Harriet tanwcod, who then and there became and ha ever since been his wife; that lor a long tirre immed atelv before fra;d marriage the said Blaine bad Bought the society of said Harriet, she being a woman of Maiaele. life and of good reputation for chastity and vir tue; that during the period of time last aforesaid prior to said marriage, the said Llaine continuously paid to her all tbe at tention incident to courtship between the sexes, ltiat ne tnerem pamea ner confl uence, and by his deceitful wiles and bland ishments seduced her from the path of rectitude." 'I he answer then recites Uie fact that the condition of tbe then Harriet Stauwood became publicly known of all men, the said Harriet ' ciave to the said L:ame and much beouLiht him that he should make repara tion to her for the wrong which ho had done unto her, .which said reparation the said Lla'.r.e at lir?t declmed and refused to make, but, being afterwards strongly urged thereto. and violently threatened with chastisement ard punishment therein for his said wrong coirg, and perchance repenting him of the evil, the 6a;d Blaine oilered marriage to the said Harriet, and contracted and con summated with her marria?e as before herein stated. In about the space of three months niter the date and time of said mirriae as aforesaid a child was born to the said Harriet therein. The said child was named ami known as Stanwood Blaine.

The death of Judge Folge Secretary of tbe Treasury, to-dav, recalls to mind the letter written by Sir. Blaine two years ago, advising the republicans of New York to vote agaißst the deceased gentleman. Mr. Blaine had been urged by the Republican State Committee to come ta New York to take part in the canvass and help elect Jodre Folger. So far as became known he made no direct reply to the committee's request, but before the campaign was half over a letter from Mr. Blaine to a friend in Delaware, the notorious "Dick" Harrington, was rna3e public in this State for the guidance of Mr. Elaine's followers here. Is'o doubt thi2 letter bad its influence with the Llaine men and swelled the majority egainfct Judee Fo'ger. As will be Been, it distinctly advised Mr. lilaine'a friends to ixit the Republican ticket, lince it said: "For the remainder of the campaign, Republicans everywhere should bend their etTorts to securing a majority in the next Houfe of Representatives. Whatever causes cf just discontent may exist with State nominations unfairly and injuriously thrust upon tbe party, and whatever means may be taken to resent such wrongs and repel such indignities, it is evidently the duty of all true Republicans to use every honorable etfort to hold control of the popular branch of Congress." Mr. R.'aine's invitation to New York Republicans in 1SS2 to '"bolt" does not seem to be forgotten by some of Judge Folger's friends this vtar.

The following letter has been sent by Mr. II. C. Hunt, a member of the Grand Army of this city and a wellknown Republican, to a friend, also a member of the G. A, E. Dear Sin: I have been known to yoa for many years as a most uncompromising Republican, and I am now going to surprise you by stating that for the first time in my life I can not support the nominations of tne Republican party. If there is an organization in the world to which I am attached it is the Grand Army of the Republic, and when I see that they are trying to use it lor purely political and partisan ends, I believe it is time for an honest Grand Army man to rebuke such attempts to lead us like cattle to the shambles by either voting against the candidate or not Toting at all. There is another reason two in fact. Our party has nominated a man for Vice President whose record as a Grand Army man is not very creditable to our organization. He was virtually expelled because he thought so little of it aa not to pay his dues. Then, again for the first plaee on tbe ticket, our party has nominated a man who ba3 been availed as corrupt by the very best elements in that party; and this very day there is no Republican paper cr orator to offer the slightest defense to the charges brought against him. Therefore, for this election at least, I shall vote for the reform Governor Grover Cleveland. ETJfclJiESS AGITATION'S. Ashigrnn.ot of an Klevator Company In Minnesota TYith $300,000 of Liabilities. St. Pai l, Sept. 4. The Minnesota Elevator Company of Red Wing, organized about a year ago, made an assignment yesterday to Jud-e E. T. Wilder. The Company owned between thirty and forty elevators, situated on branches of the Milwaukee and St. Tanl Railroad, running east and west from Reed's Landing and Wabash, respectively. Tbe liabilities are said to be gCtJO.COO. Among the stockholders are Governor Hubbard and State Senator J. G. Lawrence, also C. 15. llotchkips and B. S. Hard, of Bridgeport, Conn., and J. W. Watts, of Scranton, Fa. The cause of the failure is not definitely known, though it is rumored the institution has been caught on wheat deals. News of the assignment caused a ran on the First National Rank of Wabash, which, it is understood, , nad discounted seme of the company's paper. The bank suspendfd payment fo; a few hours, but later in the day resumed and Rnnounced its ability to meet all obligations promptly. A Great l'roblem.

A Dangerous of Baking

Driven to the wall by the weight of evidence against him, Price is compelled to admit that his baking powder is impure, containing quantities of lime,and seeks to defend the wicked adulteration by alleging that lime is a natural constituent of tha cream of tartar of the mirket, which he uses. Lime is unquestionably a constituent of the impure and cheap cream of tartar of the market, such as Price uses in his baking po wder; Prof. Kedzie, President of the Michigan State Agricultural College, recently analyzed 27 samples of this cream of tartar, as bought by Price, and found them all adulterated from 8 to 86 per cent. Price docs not give the quality of lime in his baking powder rof. Aiott, the United States Government Chemist, has, however, found in it 6 per cent, while Prof. Habirshaw found about 12 per cent., or nearly one-eighth of the entire bulk of Price's baking powder to consist of tartrate of lime. A manufacturer of baking powder who lacks the discernment, knowledge, or honesty necessary to prevent adulteration of his goods to the extent of one-eighth of their bulk will not be considered by the public as worthy of its confidence. Further caution "not to take his word for it" is unnecessary. The presence of this large and varying amount of lime and dirt hi Price's powder (now acknowledged by its manufacturer) is the cause of its inferiority in strength to the Royal by 2 per cent., as determined by the Government Chemist. This is also the reason why a much larger quantity of Price's than of Royal is required to raise the same amount of flour. This large amount of dirt and lime left in the loaf also accounts W the salt, bitter, and soapy taste found in biscuits or cake when Price's baking powder is used. But lime taken into the system in such quantities as this is injurious. It can not be decomposed by heat, and is not dissolved in mixing or baking. The whole of this enormous amount as found in Priced baking powder passes with the food into the stomach. Its physiologici effects upon the system are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils. Lime is a caustic so powerful that it is used by tanners to eat Inir from hides of animals, and in dissecting-rooms to rot the flesh from the bones of dead subjects. The presence of this adulterant ia Price's powder (now confessed by him) results from the use of impure, cheap cream of tartar. The Royal Baking Powder is Absolutely Pore That the consumers of baking powder may fully understand the falsity of Price's statement that lime is present in all cream of tartar made to shield himself from the exposure of the adulterations in which he has been detected and the fact that Royal Baking Powder is composed of absolutely pure cream of tartar, in which no lime exists (although produced at greatly increased cost), the following report of Prof. McMurtrie, late Chief Chemist of the Department of Agriculture, United States Government, made after a thorough test of the cream of tartar of commerce, is given. The position in which this report establishes Royal as absolutely pure and wholesome is unattainable by any other biking powder in the world: "I have examined the cream of tartar manufactured by the New York Tartar Company and used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in the manufacture of their baking powder, and find it io be perfectly pure, and FREE FROM LIME IN ANY FORM.
