The Sunday Gazstte. 8 Demo
cratic journal Of this city, ia al
article, yesterday, entitled "Sum-
ming up Mr. Blaine" put the case
very charitably and yet very strong
", when it says that he must be a
bad man who would desire Mr..
Blaine 20 suffer under the imputa-
ton Of an offense Of which be is not
guilty; and that there are very
? many who would gladly believe him
innocent, were the circumstances
such as 20 admit Of the presump-
ton. II furthermore says that
there "are large numbers Of per-
sons whose judgments are suspend
ed upon the question Of the abso-
lutte correctness Of the testimony
that has been presented against
him, but who find in bis own car
rage and department, since the
investigations commenced, that
which fOrbids them 10 release him
from the suspicion that there is
something. wholly or partly hidden,
which be apprebeDds would serious

revealed In short says the
Gazette, "the conduct Of Mr. Blaine
has been very unlike that Of man
who is conscious Of innocence and
the fact is 20 paipable that, in
thousands Of instances, IL j. in-
voluntarily felt when not conscious

Among the distinguished veter-

Michigan, one OF the oldest and
best preserved journalists ia the
Northwest, who has been spending
the winter and spring in this city.
The Colonel became connected with
the Detroit Free Press nearly forty
years ago, and feels as much pride
In the success Of that able paper
as be did when connected with it.
Nr. Hammond has been in the habit
Of visiting Washington almost every
session OF Congress for over thirty
years. The POLITICAL history Of
the country, with all the incidents
and anecdotes OF our old statesmen
is perfectly familiar to him. He
has attended every National Con-
vention OF the Democratic party
since 1876, and looks to he about
forty-five years Of age. His long
black hair shows no thread Of sill
yer.
Now and then the inspiration to
perform a generous act seems to
be aroused in the bosom of the
most hardened criminal and the
most INSCRIPTIONS partisan. Some
such sudden inspiration seems to
have acted upon General Benjamin
Butler, urging him to write a let
ter TO Speaker Kerr. saving that
