SPEAKER BLA1NES VINDICATI0N

SPEAKER BLAINE'S INDICATION
We published few days ago an editorial
article from the New York Tribune declaring
that Speaker Blaine's record is s'absolutely
clean" in regard to the Credit Moblier We
publish few more extracts from opposition
or independent papers taking the same view
as the Tribune, and frankly declaring their
opinion.
The Boston Globe speaks as follows:
1.-The semi official reports of the evidence
now made public do not materially vary the
aspect of the case from what the uuauthor-
lied disclosures presented. Two men, how
ever, stand forth clear and ADORE the slight
est impRtation Of haring been mi1ed TIP at all
an the great speculation. These two gentle
are Speaker Blaine and Secretary Bout
we'll"
The Philadelphia Ledger an independent
paper III fact as well as in name, says with
out qualification that "Speaker Blaine is
clearly exhonerated from any part or lot in
the discreditable business"
And the Baltimore Sun Democratic or
gan speaks thus.
"The Speakers own denial, under oath
has the clear, strong, unmistakable ring of
truth about it. For the honor of the Ameri.
can Congress We are glad to record this re-
suit"
The N. y. Evening Post well says:
MIR. Blaine, in insisting that the aecusa-
ton should be thoroughly sifted, did precise.
ly what his own honor and the public morali-
ty demanded, and he has fully established his
own innocence"
