THE REPORT AS TO THEIR UNFRIENDI
RELATIONS CONTRApICCEp.

THE REPORT AS TO THEIR UNFRIENDLY
RELATIONS CoNTRADICTED.
In relation to the absurd story that Nc
Bristow called on Mr.. Blaine on Sunday last
and was rudely received by q member of
Mr.. Blaine's family, IL is gratifying to be
able to state that Mr.. Bristow asserts That
his relations with Mr.. Blaine have yer
been otherwise than friendly. Ex-Governor
DenDtson, of the District Commission, WHO
was present at an interview between Meysrs
Blaine and Bristow on Saturday night last
states that on the Thursday night previous,
while travelling to New York he met An ac.
quaintance who mentioned as q fact that he
knew that Mr.. Blaine felt very unkindly to-
wards Mr.. Bristow because of his belief of
Mr.. Bristow's being responsiblei in some way
for some OF the charges against him. He
mentioned especially one OF the peculiarly
offensive character, to which Gov. DEM son
said 1t was impossible Bri. tow had anything
10 do with IL. Mr.. Bristow subsequently
called ON Coy, pennison and showed him
ietter IN relation TO the same matter, ex press
Ing at the same time his unwillingness for
the statement connecting him with IL to be
uncontradicted. They then called on Mr..
Blaine, who received them very cordially,
and read him SO much OF the letter as related
to the story: Mr.. Bristow saying that he
could not allow day to pass without hay-
ing II fully understood with Mr.. Blaine
Mr.. Bleine without hesitation disclaImed
ever having heard Mr.. Bristow's name con-
story, and said that neither he nor any MEM
Der OF his family or friends ever charged, or,
as was inferred, suspected Mr.. Bristow OF
having had any connection with the story.
Mr.. Bristow remarked to him that his first
knowledge OF the existence OF the story was
from Mr.. Blaine himself, and referred TO the
time and place Of the communication. Mr..
Bristow having no dIsclaimed all knowledge
OF the story, and Mr.. Blaine having fully
acquitted him OF all responsibility In con-
nection with 1t, as well as OF all other of the
many accusations against him, all OF which
was done In q mutually friendly way,
Messrs. Bristow and Dennison were aoOut To
iesve, wIen Mr.. Blaine pressed them to re-
main, and they did so, c0nversing generally
course of the conversation Mr.. Blaine said
that statements had from time to time con-
necied Mr.. Bristow with charges against
him, as T. all OF which he said he never gave
alN cIedence Whatever.
