and that of the winter before three days
shorter.
The amount Of business before the leg

been very important, but none of it has
been neglected. The closing days were
not crowded with business as is usually
the case, and so there was less of that
hasty legislation which too often occurs at
that period. Our columns have given the
proceedings in full from day to day, leay-

SPEAKER BLAINE'S RESPONSE
RILITT

If the Maine Standard will insist that
Speaker Blaine is bound to stand guard
over the pockets and business transactions
Of his associates in Congress, why let it
insist and persist, but it will have to stand
alone in its persistency, without endorse
ment by any respectable paper. From
the statements in its last article we Judge
the editor has never read the testimony of
Mr.. Blaine given before the investigating
committee. We advise him TO examine
that, and then correct its assertions in re-
gard to his reasons for not taking the
stock. Since Mr.. Blaine was for several
months the target for the whole demo
cratic and liberal republican press of the
land on account of alleged fraudulent
transactions in connection with the Credit
Mobilier, and since by an investigation
set afoot by Mr.. Blaine and put in the
control of the opposition in Congress he
has been completely eXonerated, reccy-
ing the commentator of the public gen
orally and even of the opposition press, it
would seem that the Maine Standard
might be content. The idea however Of
making him responsible for what Senator
Wilson did with his wife's money. or Jim
Brooks did with his, or any other mem
Der Of Congress or his wife did with their
funds. is a truly original idea. Let the
Standard call for another investigation
