EASTERN DISPATCHES.

Tribune. World, Sun or the Herald print
the Boston Hersld's Blaine story, the
Times alone gives it publicity and there
is no editorial comment on it anywhere.
The Times has several editorial articles
on Blaine, based on its editorial dis
patches. from which are cleaned the fol-
lowing extracts: Blaine is public man
whose character and autecedents at pres
ent are matters of national concern and |
anything which tends to a better under
standing of Blains is worthy of attention. |
We print special dispatches from
Washington to-day which will assist our
readers to form clear idea of what kind
of wares it was which Blaine Of
fered for sale in his role OF q disinter-
ested stockbroker. Blaine was attempt
ing to sell certain pieces of paper pur-
porting to be part OF purely imaginary
aggregate value of some eight million of
dollars. We have no idea that Blaine
understood the true character of the
scrip which he offered to his friends.
He had evidently first deluded himself
into believing that it carried with it GER
tain valuable privileges before making
that representation to others. 1t is alb
surd to suppose Blaine was deliberately
disingenuious when he wrote 80 grandly
and eloquently about an interest which
was really very trumpery affair, but
certainly no particular credit can be
claimed in his behalf for returning
money which was given to him under
totally erroneous opinion of the pur-
pose for which it was to be invested.
The fact is the letter is as much rehec-
ton upon Blaine's smartness as it is on
the keenness Of his moral perceptions.
The legitimate calculations to be de-
duced from the whole business are, first,
that Blaine is man much more easily
taken in than people have supposed;
second, whether as q chance for max
ing many thousand dollars or serving o
friend he was willing to dabble in a
stock which, assuming il to have been
all he believed it to be, his public posi-
ton ought to have debarred him from
touching in any form whatever. Neither
conclusion is likely to improve Blaine's
chances as Presidential candidate.
The Suns editorial says, we are in.
formed upon competent testimony, that
at the recent sale and purchase of the
World newspaper, the necessary capita
was furnished by Col. Thos. A. Scott
Cardinal McClosky is well and in New
York again.
Daniel Drew slept little yesterday but
has fair appetite.
| Vanderbilt is decidedly worse. th'
members OF his family are not allowed t.
see him..
Speaking of the Kerr charge. tht
World says: The damage already don,
to the committee by this wicked story, i.
irreparatle. The damage it can per
manently do Speaker Kerr we believe to
be very slight, but in the name Of trutt
and justice, we warn the committee that
they hew straight down to the top root
of this conspiracy.
The Tribuns's Washington specia
calls the case the cloud over Kerr AM
says it is as great sensation as tn
! Belknap affair and asks if it is anothe
J safe burglary conspiracy. The Who'll
matter is narrowed down to question o
veracity between Kerr and Harney
8 Kerr has hitherto borne an unblsm ishe
!. reputation. When we have known tia
2 Harvey was assistant doorkeeper, it wi
not be difficult to form some idea Of hir
as doorkeeper. Fitzhugh has given th
World an inside view of that Office an
its belongings. 1t should not be diff
II cult to Judge as to which of two sue
g men is more likely to be telling Il
!. truth.
