Current Notes,

The New York Tribune says that the fact
that public attention is almost universally
directed as to whom the Republicans will
nominate for the Presidency is Indicative that
the next President viii be named at Cincin-
natl and not at St. Louis. II thinks that
Gov. Tiden is the only man who's works
commend him to the public as reformer.
The Democrats in Congress are in a fair
way to discredit themselves by the investiga-
tions now underway far more than they can
disgrace the Administration. They seem to
imagine that all the people of the United
States are quite as anxious as Democratic
politicians can be to prove Gen. Grant thief,
Mr.. Williams a public robber, Robson a
worthy comrade of Belknap, and Babcock
burglar. They are ransacking bank accounts,
turning the departments inside out, listening
to the chatter OF human magpies, hanging
upon the lips of garrulous detectives, getting
together the tag rag and bobtail of the civil
service, and setting up a scandal bureau in
every committee room of the Capitol. No
story that comes to their ears is too gross for
Immediate belief. No charge against officers
Of the government is so outrageous that they
are not ready upon the slightest testimony
both to accept 1t themselves and to spread It
before the publicly. Y. Tribune.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-04-27

In many cases being evidently only inventive
guesses, tnat 1t is quite possible that some of
them may have been overlooked. We must
leave the diligent scavengers who are so much
in the ascendant in these tines to tell us
whether 1t Is so or not. Mr.. Blaine has taken
a position where it is impossible for his ac-
cusers to persist without bringing forward
some proof that he has in fact or in intent
told falsehood.-B0ston Advertiser.
Mr.. Blaine's refutation of the recent char.
ges against him Is very emphatic and seems
to cover all the material points. He asserts
that there is not particle of truth in the
statement that he ever in any way received
any money from the Union Pacific road in
return for bonds of an Arkansas railroad,
and his denial Is confirmed by the statement
of those persons who ought to know If any
such transaction took place, and who have
been named as possessing the evidence in
the case. The only weak spot in Mr.. Blaine's
reply is in not insisting upon full and
speedy investigation, but his reasons for not
taking this course are given, and are sup
ported by his experience of the delays which
Inevitably occur in any investigation. In
his own case he doubtless has good reason 10
believe that an investigation would be pur-
poseIy prolonged by the Democratic House
IN order If possible to damage his presiden-
tial prospects. s.-Hartford Colirdnt.
In prefering personal explanation with
documentary evidence to the tedious pro-
ceedings of an investigating committee as
method of vindicating himself, Mr.. Blaine
has done very wisely. The character of the
investigating committees of this Congress is
not such as to lend any weight to their con-
clusions, whatever they may be, and had
those conclusions been other than adverse,
every body knows that every Democratic and
independent" paper would have promptly
claimed the verdict as whitewashlng report.
Mr.. Blaine has instead appealed directly to
the country by the statement of his case and
production of his documents on the floor of
Congress. While not one in ten of the public
men who are nowadays charged with crimes
is guilty, it does not often happen that the
most innocent are able to make out so con-
elusive vindication as Mr.. Blaine made
Monday. The charges against him had in
deed been already denied and disposed of to
the satisfaction of all who carefully followed
the news of the day, but for the benefit of
those who, owing to imperfect familiarity
with the actual history of the scandal. had
been influenced by the skillful innuendoes of
the Independent" press, the explanation in
the House was needed, and has fully met the
ssity.-SprinGfeld Union.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-04-27
BuZfuY Come Again,

Mr.. Blaine's statement is so clear and con-
vincing that it requires no added words of
explanation from his friends, and leaves his
enemies no substantial basis for continued
assaults. 1t is certainly triumphant refuta-
ton of the ISLANDERS which have been heape
upon him. But it is quite impossible to ST.
lence the cavillers. The falsity of one aeon
sation demonstrated they Immediately man
ufacture another. No sooner did Mr.. Rollins
deny the statement imputed to him than a
charge was fathered upon Morton, Bliss &
Co. They Indignantly denied its authorship.
Then Tom Scott was charged with being
privy to corrupt transaction in which Mr..
Blaine was concerned. He promptly filed a
denial. As last resort Mr.. Blaine's assail-
ants fall back upon Director Harrison, and
ask why Mr.. Blaine did not deny the charge
made by that man. The reason why has
become evident, and the last support of the
scandal-mongers is knocked from under them.
Mr.. Harrison states that in writing and tee-
graphing Mr.. Wilson regarding the Union
Pacific Railroad he did not give the name of
Mr.. Blaine, but simply remarked that the
person referred to was prominent and infiu-
ential member of the Republican party. As
Mr.. Harrison did not name Mr.. Blaine the
ex-Speaker could not with any grace name
Mr.. Harrison or deny an accusation so gen.
eral in its terms. He is not the only "promi-
nent and influential member of the Republi-
can party" who has been mentioned in con-
nection with Pacific Railroads. All he could
do, and that he did do satisfactorily, was to
demonstrate that the Harrison story did not
apply to him by showing that he had no con-
nection with the Union Pacific.
1t would seem that Mr.. Blaine has COM
pletely discomforted his assailants. But he
will find that hunting slander is a long
chase. They will come up smiling with an
other story, and with sublime disregard of
facts will continue to manufacture lies until
the close of the presidential: campaign. Just
now their invention is at fault, and they are
forced to fall back on the "tomato sauce''
method of conducting case, so successful in
the case of Bardell VS.. Pickwick. They quote
these words from Mr.. Blaine's testimony be-
fore the Credit Mobilier committee: 'tHav-
ing large business transactions with the
Messrs. Coburn in various matters" and
print them in Italics and put exclamation
points after them, and insinuatingly remark
that the Fort Smith bond business is a vari-
GUS matter, and consequently there is some.
| thing wrong about it. This appears to be
the course of the argus. 1t is sneaking and
dishonest it is true, and there are other OBJ
jections to it. But objections of that nature
never disturb the Argus. In piece OF de-
licious reasoning which has quite upset the
gravity of the town and made it SUBJ
| ject for laughter wherever read, it takes up
and defends the ''tomato sauce'' theory.
Possibly its readers may be as stupid as
| the Pickwick jury, but the supposition is not
| probable one. "Chops Good heavens, gen.

THE New York papers take an eminently
practical view of things. One of them re-
grets the death of the Princess Isabella, aunt
of the Empress of Brazil ''both for the sake
of the Empress, who will thus be deprived of
a rare opportunity of seeing what brilliant
array of court beauties New York could pro-
duce if only New York had court to show
them off in, and for the sake OF the givers of
the ball who will thus be deprived of an in
valuable lioness." 1t is certainly annoying
to have kinswoman die just as one is going
to a ball.

IT is said that hereafter the Departments
will not furnish the scavenger committees Of
the House with original documents and
records in their possession. Heads of depart
meDts claim that they are held responsible
for such records, and it is fact that such
committees were given important records two
months since which have not been returned
but are kept in committee rooms where fig
ures may be changed. Some of these COM
mittees even refused to return such papers
when requested by their lawful custodans to
do so. The cabinet have a precedent for
such procedure in the action Of Gen. jack
son, who, when President addressed letter
to Senator Foote who was chairman of a
committee to investigate general charges of
abuse against the executive departments
which contains the following defiant declar-
ations:
The heads of departments may answer such re-
quests they please, provided they do not withhold
their time and that of the officers under their
direction from public business to the injury thereof
to that business. [ shall direct them to devote
themselves to their duties in preference to any illegal
and unconstitutional call for information no matter
from what it may come, and however anxious

States to resist them as would the establishment of
Spanish nquistion. IT, after all the severe accusa-
tions contained in various speeches of yourself and
your associates you are unwilling of your own
cord to bring specific charges, then request your
committee to call yourself and your associates and
every other member of Congress who made general
charge of corruption to testify before God and the
country whether you or they know of any specific
corruption abuse of trust in the executive depart
ments, and, if so, what it was If you are able to
point to any case where there is the slightest
suspect corruption and abuse of trust obstacle
which can remove shall be interposed to prevent

with law and justice to be given to the investigation
of specific, tangible charges and, the other, shall
repudiate all attempts to invade the just rights OF
the executive departments and of the individuals
composing the same, If, after all your camor, you
will make no specific charges, or bring no proof OF
such as are made, you and your associates must be
regarded by the good people eff the United States as
the authors of unfounded calumnies, and the public
servants you have assaulted WILL in the estimation
Of all honorable men, stand fully acquitted.
