A Worlds Washington special says
that during Seely's examination to-day
Morey, who was present. became ex-
cited. and told the committee if Seely
was allowed to proceed with his per-
sonal accusations, he. Morev, would
not be accountable for the
quences.
Blackburn declared that the witness
was not to be intimidatsd.
Seely declared that he should declil g
to testify further if he was tn be intim
idated, and for Il few moments things
looked rather squally, but quiet VIA
restored at last. The testimony VIII icll

that Mercy told him. as proof of his

lures in the Department of Justice this

Blaine had his attention called to
McClure's statement. He SAYS the de-
feet in McClure's story is that at the
time of Caldwell's alleged negotiation
between Julian and himself, AS Speak
er, in regard to the appointment OF
election committee, he had never seen
Caldwell and did not know there was
such a man. Blaine further expressed
the belief that Julian has never, to this
day. had the slightest acquaintance
with Caldwell. These facts being so.
there does not seem to be much left
for McClure's stoi Y to stand upon. n
it will fall, unless corroborated by
Robinson, the alleged principal, and
the party who saw Blaine. McClure'S
clique of Arkansas politicians, who
support Morton, are exceedingly bitter
on Blaine because he Was not willing,
last winter, tn join in a scheme of owe
turning the Garland Government by
violence, and The whole gang of carpet
bag politicians ia Arkansas are de.
.ermined to injure Blaine if they can.
