Mr.. JAMES G. BLAINE has thought II r, g.

10 deny in general way the statement
OF OAKEs AMEs and Col. III. :. McCuNB,
that in the latter part OF 1867 or the begin
ming of 1865 he, being then a member of
Congress, received large amount OF stock
in the Credit Mobilier Of America a. an in
ducemCnt TO aid legislation in the interest
Of that company and Of the Union Pacih,
Railroad. Mr.. BL,rNE's allegation, being
unsupported by any other testimony, and
contradicted by the fact that ne has SUD
denly become rich, has no weight what
ever; and now tn public will wait with
intense interest to see whether the other
members Of Congress who are implicated
in the same way upon the same testimony
viii be able to make any better reply than
BLAINE.
First of all let us hear from Henry Will
eoS, the Senator from Massachusetts, and
candidate for Nice-Presdent Oh the SAINT
ticket with Gen. GRANT. Does OAKEs AME>
tell the truth when he says that he gave
Mr, WILSON a large slice Of Credit Mohilier

AMEs and invested for Wilson's benefit,
or was the money paid over into WILSON .

what service was WILSON expected 10 reu-

the Union Pacific Company in return for
this donation? And was the donation a
bribe, or was il simply a friendly git, a
mere token OF high appreciation: What be-

How does it stand on the books of the
Credit Mobilier Company2 And what does
Mr.. WILSON think about the subject gene
rallyi These are some OF the questions
which he must answer, and that without
delay.
Then there IS the Hon. IIESRY L. DAWES,
also Of Massachusetts, one Of the oldest
members of the House Of Representatives,
and Chairman of the Committee on APP
preparations. OAKEs AMRs says that he
gave TO him the same amount of Credit
