How the Conn ritee were put on the TrneL
OF Witnesses-Another Blow that ButIer
has In Reserve for the Heather Chinee."
WASHINGTON, June CT has been a
mystery TO some where the witnesses we're dis
covered to prolong the Investigation against
Blaine. To none has II been more wonderful
than to members OF the Judiciary Committee.
Disinterested persons whisper in the ears OF the
inquisitors, summon this man and that man
and you will Get the cue to your investigation"
But the secret Is out at last. Blaine has taken
lessons from his willy enemy aud found that the
great instigator Of the Investigation is no one
else than Gen. Butler. Tue public Is familiar
with the many petty hatreds the Gloucester
statesman has had OF the ex-Speaker, and those
who know Buffers character do not forget that
he has long memory for revenge.
When no was urging Collector Simmons's
nomination Massachusetts Congressman won
derod how Butler knew all their secrets, even
their teegraphic correspondence, and in this
manner was able to flank them at every turn.
there was also a scene In tho House once when
Butler adapted the "Heathen Chinee to tho
tricky Blaine, and It was said that Butler knows
something of Blaine's business and hidden life
All that Blaine has discovered to a certainty is
that behind Mulligan has been the Mephis-
topheles Of American politics, and to his sorrow
he now finds that the Heather Chinee poetry as
applied to him was inspired by reading the very
lie tiers produced yesterday.
Besides, Blaine has found the telegraph ONCE
convenient source Of news, and with a few
weeks training hopes to be able to beat his adj
versarv. How he knew that Proctor Knott had
from Josiah Caldwell will be made known In
due time. The next blow that Butler has in re-
serve for Blaine is to come from Maine, which
will furnish material for another explanation of
source 81 gain pecul r. 10 jim Blaine.
