Mr.. Blaine in regard to Credit Mobilier.
This embraces all the testimony and the COM
mittee in their report made this brief and cu,-
phatic summary Of Mr.. Blaine's case:
''Amorg those who have in the public
press been charged with improper partcipa-
ton in Credit Mobilier stock is the present
Speaker, Mr.. Blaine, who moved the resolu-
ton for this investigation. The committee
have, therefore, taken evidence in regard to
him. They find from it that Mr.. Ames had
conversation with Mr.. Blaine in regard to
taking ten shares the stock, ard recon-
mended it as good investment. Upon con-
sideratlon Mr., Blaine concluded not to take
the stock, and never did take it, and never
paid or received anything on account of it;
and Mr.. Bioin neuer had any interest, direct
or indirect, In Credit Mobilter stock or stock
