What Blaine Says.

WAsutSoroa, April l3.-In regard to
the story from indianapolis, connecting
Mr.. Bainc with the sale Of the Aarkan-
sas Railroad bonds to The Union Pacific
Railroad Company, he assures his friends
to-day, in most positive manner, that,
in warp and wool, the story Of his ever
receiving. at any time, penny from the
Union Pacific Company, is false; that the
company never paid any money of which
he, either directly or Indirectly, received
the advantage; that his statement no liv-
ing man can gainsay.
Further, that he never had any busi-
ness transactions OF any kind whatever
with the Union Pacific Company, or with
any person representing it. Mr.. Blaine's
friends have freely charged that the In
dianapolis story was originated for the
benefit Of Senator Morton, and was
printed to-day to influence the Vir-
ginia Convention. Mr.. Blaine him.
self says he is not in any way
responsible for this statement. Gentlemen
here having dealings with the Union
Pacific road, say there is nothing in the
resolution said TO have been cited by Mr..
Harrison, the government director,
which points even remotely toward Mr..
Blaine. 1t appears on the books OF the
Pacific Railroad Company, in the min
utes Of u meeting OF the Executive Com
mittee at New York, on December l6,
1871, and is as iollows:
"Ordered that Morton, Bliss & Co. be
authorized to draw on the Treasurer Of
this company for SG,40O, payable in forty
days from date, and to hold, as collateral
security for the company, ,seventy.fve land
grant bonds Of the Little Rock & Fort
Smith Railroad, OF 81 900 EACH"
Mr.. Blaine's friends say that he does
not feel disposed to call for an investiga.
ton from the Democratic House, for the
reason that tho Democrats could easily
conspire 10 prevent an early closing Of
the investigation, and could 80 arrange it
that, at the time OF the Cincinnati Conven-
tion, he would still be under tho fire Of an
investigating committee, and, consequent
", prejudiced by that fact.

The Blaine Story.

CHICAGO, April 13.--A Washington
special to the Inter. Ocean, In referring 10
the indianapolis Seminal story about
Blaine, says: One Of his friends stated
to your correspondent to-day that this
story Of the bond was arranged some time
ago at Cincinnati, at a meeting OF Bris.
tow's friends, at which Joe Medill, OF the
Chicago Tribune; Richard Smith, OF the
Cincinnati Gasette. Halstead, OF the Gin.
cinnati Commercial, and General Boyn'
ton, Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette, and others were pre-.
sent. The supposed facts were there
put into n shape to invite credulity
and it was resolved to have the story ap'
pear simultaneously in the various news
papers OF the country about the 1st ol
June, so that Blaine would have no time
to counteract the force Of the attack. The
indianapolis Sentinel man was somehow
let into the secret, and being unable to
contain it, exploded prematurely and up.
set ,he whole thing.
Hon. Joseph Medill, upon being inter.
viewed by the agent Of the Associated
Press to-day, says that il is true that some
weeks ago he was at Cincinnati and while
there saw the gentleman named
but in all other respects the dispatch to
the Inter Ocean is untrue. The gentle,
men did not arrange any bond story about
Blaine or any one else, did not put any
supposed facts in a shape to write, did
not resolve to have tho story appear sim
ultancously in various newspapers or in
any newspaper and did not let the .Senti.
mel mani in the secret, In short Mr.. Medill
says in all the essential particulars the
Inter. Ocean special is false and this iscon.
tirmed by another gentleman who accom-.
panied Mr.. Medill on his trip.
