Blaine did not vote or the prohibition question, and the agony of the democrats, thereat, knows no limits. But he did make a public and logical explanation of his reasons for not voting on that question. They forget that both Cleveland and Hendricks were afraid to mention the tariff qiiestion in their letters o| acceptance, and the tariff is a great issue of the campaign while prohibition is not.

' No paper in the country opposes Blaine more bitterly than the NewAk’ork Times, but in speaking of his recent letter in regard to his domestic relations, and the cruel slanders that have been uttered against liis wife and children, it says: The statement which Mr. Blaine makes, in his letter to Mr. William Walter Phelps should close all lips upon a subject which has been introduced and discussed m this campaign only where manliness was forgotten.
