Not a tow deny that the same substantial statements have been made by Mr. Joy to others not infrequently. Toward he close of the dinner. September S3.1817, po litlcnl matters were introduced, and among other things Blaine’s failure to receive the nomin itiors that went to Haves. Mr. Joy spoke with contemptuous severity of Mr. Blaine, ar d gave this statement: “When a difficulty occurred in regard to certain lands in the Sou bwest in which I was interested a committee was about to be appointed by Confress to examine the matter, Blaine boing peaker o;' the House. Through a triend I asked Mr. Rhine to have one souud lawyer appointed in that committee, I did not care or which party. 1 simply wanted a sound lawyer. It a'day or two Mr. Blaine sent me word through a friend that he hf certain depreciated bonds, and that if 1 would enahlo him to place them at pari could have committee as 1 wanted it. I can not forget with what cuttitg scorn Mr. Joy loaned back iuhis chair and said: "That is the man Blaine is,” and ho added: “1 refused the offer, and as the courts i oon settled the matter, no committee was appointed." At that time 1 kuew nothing of the lands in auestion, nor of the bonds alluded to, hut 1 id undere and fully Mr. Joy's opinion of James G. Blaine. What changed Mr. Jov's notion and od timto nominate Mr. Blame'at the Chicago Convention in 18801 do not know. It can pro la bly bo found out by Inquiring of the editors cf certain great daily newspapers who hardly lound language bitter euough for years to inveigh against Mr. Blaine, and who now can not And luuguago to pour contempt upon the men w 10 do not approve oi plaoing Mr. Blaine in the Presidential chair. I shall not pro ong this letter by narrating^ Mr. Blaine's views of the matters in an interview with ne which took place after my speech at Coopo:.- Union during the Gardeid canvass, at his own request, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. I cai hardly believe that he has forgotten that, 1 can not hut admit the indomitable pluck with which Mr. Rhi ne is defending himself against sueh a clcud of charges as was never made against any other Presidential candidate since the Go .'eminent began. Yet I can not allow myself o he misled by sympathy with his undoubted kind-heartedness, courage and audacity. Unsound in slatesmaulike judgment, unscrupulous in political methods, dim-eyed in perceiving the distinction between truth and untruth, absorbingly ambitious, but short-sighted ns to the methods of gratifying his ambition, but; with a genial social disposition a id a brilliant rhetorical caSaoity, Mr. Blaine makes an alluring eandiate, but would make a dangerous President. I pray you to excuse my adding to the eart-B of your canvass iy a consideration of these matters, it was, however, but just to you to point out how misleading was your telegram to Mr. Joy. and how irrelevant to the subject matter was his reply. Henry Ward Beecher. Not a Ilopresi ntative American, Mr. Blaine has pretty well lost th reputation for aidacity with which h went into the campaign. There wa not very much of it left before the pul lication of the last lot of his letter Now there is nothing. In those lettei he shows everywhere a whining an cringing spirit. His friends say he ha fallen into the hands of sharpers, an doubtless they are instructed by him t say so. But an honest man, cousciou of haring done no wrong and iindin himself the victim of sharp practice gets angry. He tells his persecutor what he thinks of them. He calls thei to account, and his correspondence i

sure 10 snow wnat ms estimate is of tholr character and his own. There is nothing of this in Blaine’s letters. He is accused of misrepresentation and takes it meekly. He is told that he is trying to get more than belongs to him, and never resents it He is asked how his friends, with whom he pretends to have dealt generously, would feel if they knew the facts, and he makes no sigh of indignation. Everywhere in this pitiful correspondence his pen is restrained by greed or guiltAt times he complains; he never shows the righteous anger of an honest man falsely accused. Throughout his language, temper, demeanor are those of a sneak. If this were all that we knew of Mr. Blaine’s real character it would *be for those who have been taught to believe him a dashing, impetuous, proud and confident man a serious disappointment—“very bitter, I assure you,” as he himself says. But the significant fact is that this revelation of his real character Is of perfect consistency with his public course, in which real courage has played a very small part. This was shown in his brief and inglorious career as Secretary of State. We have been told over and again that he could be relied on to give us an aggressive foreign policy in which the full right and dignity of the American Nation would be asserted and its self-re-spect would be firmly maintained. But when he had in effect absolute power over the conduct of our foreign affairs his policy was not of this sort. There is not in all the history of the State Department a period of equal length so humiliating to the American people. Other Secretaries of State, like Madison and Marcy and Seward, had known how, at times when the country was in sore straits—or, at best, was relatively weak—to maintain its rights and secure recognition from Powers of far greater strength and prestige. It was reserved for Mr. Blaine, at a moment when the country, though in profound peace with all the world, had reached the height of its material expansion ana prosperity, to subject it to the most mortifying and contemptuous treatment from Governments whom he had deemed feeble enough to be bullied. In the case of Chili and Peru it was Mi. Blaine’s weak head and weaker spirit that brought upon the Government the necessity of withdrawing from a position of unwarrantable menace. In the ease of Mexico it was Mr. Blaine’s amazing stupidity and blindness combined wnioh first made our Government distinctly threaten a friendly Republic and then tamely submit to see the threat absolutely ignored. Let any candid American contrast the attitude the United States took toward

the Emperor of France regarding Mexico in the crisis of our civil war and that taken toward Mexico itself by Mr. Blaine, and ask himself whether the party which followed and trusted Lincoln and Seward can put its confidence in, the pusillanimous, invertebrate charlatan who changed the grateful regard of Mexican statesmen fpr the United States into scorntoj-sresentment. No, a thousand times, wf Mr. Blaifie is not a representative American. From the moment when Washington sent Jay to England to avoid war by all honorable means tp the period when the firm and wise attitude of Lincoln and Seward held at bay the eager hostility that threatened intervention in our civil war American foreign policy has beeu one of unswerving self-respect, loving peace, aeeking justice, and fearing ' nothing. It is no more embodied in the ideas and character of Mr. Blaine, as n public man, than is the sensitive and proud integrity of the American man of business embodied in the greedy, tricky, shifty and dishonest adventurer and speculator who wrote the letters to Mr, Fisher.;—N. Y. Times (Ind.)

Not Necessary to Make Charges. It is not necessary for the Democrats to state anil elucidate a single charge against James G. Blaine to demonstrate not only his shameless, constant and systematic corruption, but also the universality of popular belief in that corruption. The newspapers that now vie with each other to be considered the leading Blainp organs have in their moments of sobriety and candor in the past furnished those who now oppose their candidate with all the ammunition that they could possibly desire. This is true with a very few exceptions. Even the New York Tribu te and Boston Journal have at one time or another in their existence indicated dqubts of Mr. Blaine's probity. But the leading papers of New York State and the West —the Troy Times, Albany Journal, Buffalo Exjrress, Buffalo Commercial, Utica Herald, Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Chicago Tribune and many others have recorded judgments against Mr. Blaine, upon which the Democratic party ought to be willing to rest its case at any time. The present painful attempt oi these papers to make Mr. Blaine’s past reputable in view of what their unbiased verdicts have been is not. calculated to convince their readers or make their special pleading respeo ed. How like’a prophecy the following, from the Buffalo Commercial of May 6, now reads: Edmunds only added force to the fact that if Blaine manages by hook or crook <he can not get it any other way) to get the Chicago nomination, his party will bo put upon the defensive with a candidate of whose record they are ashamed, whose future makes the business men afraid of him. who would lie consistently opposed by every truly independent newspaper in the country: and whoso election. should that be brought about by some mysterious agency, would Toe regarded as the triumph of demagogism. That is what the election would sig-“ uify, but to the triumph of demagogism we must also add the triumph of corruption. Eight days later the Commercial declared some more frozen truth as follows: Outside of a ring ol politicians who hare fouud;in Blaine a bold factional leader, ready for a raid where 'spoils” were to be found, there was no regret expressed, nor was there any felt, when h.s name was stricken from the list of Cabinet officers. Tho man was at that time tested and found wanting. Wo do not turn over the defiled pages of his record as a member of tho National legislature. The busiuess men know how muen there was in his career tnen to mark him as a man impulsive, dangerous and unreliable. “These be strong words, my masters,” but none too strong for the application that was made of them. How can a newspaper face its own honest utterances of less than five months ago and expect to carry any weight of influence with stupefying arguments, laboriously and speciously prepared to meet a partisan emergency? When Judge Tourgee in his attempted defense of Blaine at Dunkirk.- N. Y., was confronted by the estimate of his character and record to which he had signed his name a few mouths before, he retired in confusion from the contest. He showed that he had enough sense of the ialsity of his position, to blush for the inconsistency and insincerity into which, for party reasons, he hsd rashly permitted himself to be betrayed. Were it not efor partisan urgency Mr. Blaine would not havo a single honest defender in the country.—Boston lost.

The Twelfth Amendment. The provisions of the Twelfth amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the manner in which a President and Vice-President shall bo selected in case there is no election by the Electors chosen by the people are so curious that it is difficult to conceive what the real object of the framers of the instrument was. In case eo candidate shall re owe a majority of the Electoral Votes, the selection of a President devolves on the House of Representatives, which votes by Stf.tes, each State being entitle! to one vote. Upon the Senate, however, rests the duty of selecting a Vice-President. While there does nbt now'seem to-be a probability of the elections’ being thrown into the House, should unch he the case , the vote would doubtless stand: For Cleveland 21, for Blaine 16, tie 1. The following States show Democratic majorities in their House delegations, and would, of course, vote for the Democratic candidate for President: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio', South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. This list includes all the Southern States except Florida, in which delegation there would be a tie, and Virginia, where the Readjusters would probably cast the vote of the State for Blaine. The Northern section embraced in the list is not so largo, but it contains such important States as New York, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin. The States that would votofor Blaine are Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia. In case the election of the President should be thrown into the House the Senate would have” the privilege of electing the Vice-President. The Senators would vote individually and not by States. They would, of-course, elect Logan Vice-President. As before stated, however, it appears to be about certain that the next President and Vice-President will be chosen by the Electors, ana there is little doubt that their names will be Grover Cleveland and Thomas A, Hendricks.—Sovannah (Q*.) Sews. -Perhaps Blaine wanted to use his letters to Fisher as Republican campaign documents. That's the reasou he ottered Mulligan, through Fisher, $10,000 for them. He wanted to get ahsnd of the Democrats—anticipated thcat- tu it were, in the work of vindication,

Even the white feather droops to the earth, and the whilom Knight must be taken from the lists.—Boston Globe. poLmcllTroiNTs. -Mrs. Belva Lockwood’s face reminds a correspondent of Maria Antoinette's on the night before her execution. But it will not be half so sad as Mr. Blaine'a face on the morning after •lection.—Brooklyn Bugle. -It seems that Blaine thought the Fisher letters worth about Is 10,000. Leastwise he offered Mr. Mulligan, the custodian, that amount before they were published. He evidently wanted to. do his own “vindicating.” ——We have never believed that Don Cameron was very susceptible to the influence of the Blaine magnetic currents and we do not believe it now. The Maine charmer mast have employed some other spells—Brooklyn Scale.

-There is nothing in Blaine’s offer to buy those letters of Mulligan tor $10,00$ uni send Fisher and Mulligan to Europe on a pleasure trip ‘'inconsistent with the highest honor and integrity.” That Is to say, from a Blaine standpoint. -Blaine said there was nothing in the Mulligan letters “inconsistent w th the most scrupulous integrity and honor.” The New Y-ork Tribune calls them a “compost heap.” Therefore, by the inexorablo laws of logic, there is nothing in a compost heap inconsistent with the strictest integrity ahd honor. --When the dispute arose between Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Blaine as to tho custody of’ those letters, if Mr. Mulligan had only been thoughtful enough to have given them to Frank Moulton in trus1, the Plumed Knight might at least have escaped the degradation of going down on his knees.—Brooklyn tagie. r-—One of the most remarkable disappearances of the time is Blaine’s “aggressive campaign.” Almost before it materialized it vanished from the public gaze like the mist of the morning, anti it has been missed ever since.- It ought to be advertised with an offer of a suitable reward—whatever that would be—for its restoration. Nothing else will bring it back, and it is not quite certain that advertising will. Every one of the BSaine campaigners, frpm the candidate down, is so earnestly engaged on tho defensive that they would hardly know what to do with an aggressive campaign if they had one. W e ought, perhaps, to except the Rev. Ball, who is said to be preparing a revised edition of what he regards as aggressive campaign, in anticipation whereof the reputable press of the country is holding its nose and ordering disinfectants. . Too Young to Understand. “Paw, be you fur Blaine?” “Yes, my son, red-hot for Blaine.” “Weil, what about them letters?” “Why, you see, my boy, an infernal rascal named Fisher—a sneak, a liar, a thief, a scaliawag and scoundrel named Fisher - published some letters that he says Mr. Blaine wtole to him.” “Did them show that Mr. Blaine was a bad man?” "No, indeed, my son. On the contrary, they showed that he is a man above reproach—a man of lofty honor and strictest integrity—a man of—” “Say, paw, then I sh’d think Mr. Fisher was a real good mao to print ’em an’ let everybody see what a good man Mr. Bl—” "There, there, neve* mind, Theophl1ns.

Th^Urand OilParty’s Conscience. The St Louis Globe has a wholesome and interesting Article entitled “ Misplaced Confidence.” It is on the tend* cncy of the times. The question: “Whom can we trust?” it says, “is heard on every hand.” “To betray a trust has always been justly regarded as an almost unpardonable sin.” “No one can tell how tar-reaching the effects may be.” “The Hebrew Scriptures are nowhere more impressive than in their denunciations of the violators of trusts.” It even assumes the role of a Hebrew prophet, and declares that “the average man becomes year by year not more out less trustworthy. That is the whole case in a sentence. Faets of common observation do not aocord with the theory that the world is getting better and better, and gradually growing into the millennium. Humanity is not becoming’more and more lovable. On the contrary, the oft-repeated inquiry: ‘ Who can be trusted?’ suggests to the thoughtful mind the probability that St. Paul knew what he was talking of when he said that the end of the Chnsttiatp dispensation would be chacterized by‘grievous times,’ by ‘lovers of self, lovers of money,’ anti by traitors. ’ ” In the face of all this, which, every intelligent person knows to be true, the Globe and many other representatives of the Republican party proposes to make Mr. Ulaino President of the United States, to hold up as an example to the you thief this country a man self-con-victed of an attempt to betray for money his public trust as Spoaker of the House.

JNor has the ucobe the excuse that it does not believe the evidence which Mr. Blaine furnished in his own hgud-writ-ing, over his own signature. Lika thousands of Republicans before his nomination it has expressed its belief in his guilt. It said: “Mr. Blaine is an unclean man and the people will not have him. He stands self-convicted of prostituting the high oilices he has held to build up a private fortune; of cohabiting with corruption for dishonest money. His record would damn him.” It was only echoing what was said and believed by many Republican organs and orators; but such is tho demoralization wrought by party warfare that although its columns now admit that the betrayal of trusts is malting tho American people a hissing and a byword, it, like many other Republicans, is actively urgiug the election to the Presidency of a “man self-convicted of prostituting the high offices he has held to build up a private fortune.” Another instance of this blindness wrought by partisanship is told by a correspondent of tho Boston Herald, who, the other day, met on the streets of that city the author of many books written for tho moral instruction of young readers. The author expressed great surprise at the correspondent’s saying hcfhould not vote the Republican ticket this year, because he did not think J\lr. Blaine would pass muster tried bv any high moral standard in politics. The author was very impatient over the charges against Blaine and said that the timo was wasted in talking about them. The conversation then tiirnod to a new book by tho author soon to appear. He linuded the advau e sheets* to tho correspondent, who took them home and read them. He found in them one whole chapter devoted to holding up to scorn and contempt an orthodox deacon for the offense of attempting to sell shares in a joint stock company, whrlo at the same time he had accepted a gratuity, unbeknown to- the public, from tho difoctors of the company to secure his interest in the enterprise. The deacon had not lied about it either. Yet this author was supporting for the Presidency a man who had just dono that thing, adding to it the offense of offering his official influence for sale and crowning all by deliberate'aud repeated falsehood. This is what the nomination of Blaino has wrought upon the conscience of the grand old party. —Exchange. Blaine’s Character.

Everybody knows, or should know, now how fully Klaine reveled his ojiari^ acter in the Mulligan letter*. His poorly dissembled use of his high position as Speaker of the House of Representatives simply for his own personal otuls marks him as a man who is utterly unworthy of any trust. How impudent is it, therefore, for him to aspire to the highest place, in the conntryl With that utter recklessness of princi- ■ pies and of consequencos which his shameless admirers call “dash,’* he read on the iloor of the House what he willed of the letters, he had filched from Mulligan, and by a most ingenious system of garbling and special pleading arrested lor the time tho sentence that was his just duo. Years went by, and after popular forgetfulness had made dim his deeds he came forth this year as the Republican candidate for the Presidency. But fate had followed him, and tho correspondence whieb he thought he had heM entire and -had destroyed reappeared in the form of carefully-pre-served copies to confront him in his path to the greatest goal of an American’s ambition. All the facts that he had dong thought dead and buried came back to him as forgotten wanderers in a distant land. When those, who had still clung; with faith— weak faith though it wa3--to his failing fortunes, could no longer follow1 this dangerous man, and when the man himself saw the desperate course that lay before him, his only resort in all his troubles, his bold and unscrupulous "dash,” eamo into play, and, knowing that all men would read the Mulligan letters, he had the effrontery tc» beg all men to read, them. But his "dash” is at last dashed to the ground. For Blaine, in his desperation, has declared that "there is nothing in those lettors^nconsistent with any sense of integrity and honor.” What? Can a man of integrity and honor write to a correspondent of his rulings as a Speaker of the House of Representatives in connection with a corporation whose stock he wishes to secure, and say to the same correspondent that he knows "channels in which he can be useful,” and pledge that he will be “ no deadhead in the enterprise!” How debased must be the notion of integrity and honor that moves either tho private or the public ac;s of such a man. By Blaine's ownlips is he condemned. For the man who has so far forgotten tho simplost teachings of an houest life is unfit to be the President of the Uri Mahmoud (Fa.) State. tod States. -The present swinging of Blaine around the circle seems to be equal in human fuss and in senseless parade to that made by Andy Johnson on a similar occasion years since, aud will be equally unproductive of any good, result to the political charlatan who ia the chief actor. He will find this out himself after November »*4 (Fa.) State.
