The Journal got one little "puff -
from newspaper back in Ohio, edited
by some friend of the husband of the
Journal editor, and now lie says acc
can't get any back there where we came
from. 0, no. OF course not. Not
more than All acre or so. We can pro-
duce them from the Cincinnati Com
mcrcial, Columbus Journal, Dayton
Journal, the Toledo, GAINESVILLE, Circle
vile, Athens, and, in fact, about all the
papers in Ohio, and we believe we shall
keep dropping them in from time to
time-to please the husband of the edi-
tor. Then we might give them from
clergymen, editors, lawyers, doctors,
"likewise the postmaster and the con-
STABLE" as Artemas Ward would say.
Suppose we publish one or two, just as
little offset to the efforts which the
husband of the editor is making to
slander us in private. On leaving Ohio
to come west, the following letters were
rendered us among many others. AS
Blaine says, we invite the confidence of
forty-four millions of people while we
submit these letters:

influence Of Hon. John ID. White republican member
OF Congress from Kentucky. He said that in May
he received letter from White in which the lattor

for Since then White, he says, has becen diligently
engaged in manufacturing prejuocial statements
against him to the President and to tho Department Of
Justice and has at last succeeded taking of his off,

fact that he voted at carly period OF the present
session. against JOINT resolution which repudatcd tho
'thrd term" idea and he believes that White voted
that way simply to obtain the of tho President and
control his patronage. Wharton further says that he
does not know whether White was EN- poyed by Illicit

has been precisely what IL would have been had he
been so employed Only last month number of
