scntaou, Aauy Sl.
Promptly at eleven o'clock the

spoke substantially as follows.
"Repu6ticuas Of Io,ea: 1t is Gus.
tomary when selected to preside over
the deliberations of body of this
KIND, to return ack now Judgments for
the preference thus bestowed. Ii
would be improper at this time to re-
fer At length 10 the issues that are be-
fore us in the approaching campaign.
feel that you have selected me not

ment of the party, that is the Young
America of the party and State. L
pledge tn you for the coming cam.
paign the sincere and honest support
OF the young men of Iowa. When
l do this | feel that the noble State
Of Iowa will roll up 10000 majority

stand above and aioft of all the
States of the Union. We will show
TO the world that Republicanism Is
everything and the majority shall be
such that Iowa will be pointed out
as the banner State of the Union,
Ii would be improper to indulge In
extended remarks on this occasion.

ton, Jno. ID. Hunter, of Hamilton,

After referring the matter 70 tie
Hon. Jeremiah s. Black and TIM
Hon, Matt Carpenter, two of tho
ablest lawyers in the country, Mr..
Blaine refused to submit the letters
ne obtained from Mulligan Is The
investigating committee. perl,9ps
II would have been better that these
should have been promptly laid be-
fore the committee, and we believe
that upon sober second thought Mr..
Blaine will so decide. But ii no
should not we have fsith to believe
that In good time his reasons FOR tho
action taken viii be made clear.
LATER. Mr.. Blaine read the let-
ters In full before tho House OH
Monday, and showed that there was
nothing in them to injuro him: and
now the confederates are exasperated
again. The affair has hurt them
and strengthened Blaine.

1N!H.sa,is, fnis Time refusing to give
them up. From this one would think
there was something terrible in the
letters; that the Congressional COM
mittee had found mares nest; that
they had finally found charge
against Blaine that would stick.
That was as much of the report as
Nc. read, enough to place promi-
nent man in bad light, which was
all he wantrd. Had Ne read further
he would have found that these let
ters were some of BIaine's private
correspondence, extending back over
= period OF twenty-five years; that
there was but one letter referring tn
railroad matters, and this Blaine
was willing TO produce before the
committee that he did offer the let
ters to Mal!igan in the presence of
witnesses, telling him If he did not
take them into his custody, he
Blaine) would, and that MulIigan
admitted this To the committee
when questioned; that witnesses
present state that Blaine was not ex.
cited, did not shed tears nor threaten
to commit suicide II the letters were
not given him; that Mnlligan refused
10 take the letters after Blaine had
asked him twice to do 80; that, fur
ther, he submitted all the letters to
counsel. telling them that If they de-
'ided there was anything i'm them
which tho committee should know

ter We're the coonsel consulted, and
that by the advice OF both these

hat Mulligan's testimony was re-
