RLAINE's REPLY.

To this Mr.. Blaine replied, in the
House, in the followiSg frank and
manly way:
WAsHINGToS, ID. c., May 27.-Ex-
Speaker Blaine, in reply to inquir-
les concerning an article in the New
York Sun to-day, said: Some six
or seven years ago, some friends of
mine in Boston desired to make a
small investment in the Northern
Pacific enterprise, and as the Vice
President of that road, Hon. r. ID.
Rea, was 3 near neighbor of mine
in Augusta, it was thought might
find out where and how the pur-
chase could be made. In one or two
instances, heard of an interest be-
ing for sale, but nothing was done.
Finally, in the autumn of 1870, q
definite interest was for sale, and it
was brought to my attention with
very glowing and extravagant ac-
counts of the prospective profits
and advantages, as IL was Q road
chartered by Congress, deriving it's
franchise and grants directly from
Congress, and liable at any time to
apply to Congress for future fayors,
did not myself entertain for . mo-
ment, the idea of becoming inter
ested in IL, but as these friends had
been wishing such investment, and
as they had the same right that any
other private citizen had to own an
enterprise, communicated facts to
them precisely as they had been
given 10 me. A few days after / was
notified that they would be glad to
purchase, and = certificate of depos-
it or cashiers check for $50, 600 was
placed in my hands in trust, a. the
receipt shows, to hand over to the
person proposing to sell, who in
due time will doubtless speak for
himself, the certificate to be taken
in the name Of Elisha Atkins. oneI

BLAIN 4.

His Reply 10 Another Islander.
During the last few months the
"slush" org ans have had q harvest,
Every prominent Republican has
been besmeared. Hon. James q.
Blaine, by reason of his prominent
candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for the Presidency, has been
food for their swash brushes, and
they have not failed to show a de-
gree of industry worthy of better
business. He has met them square
ly at every turn, defying them with
his straightforward explanations,
which have satisfied every just man
of his entire innocence of the
charges.
The latest one of these charges
comes from the New York Sun, and
is contained in the following dis
patch:
NEW YORK, May 27.-The Sun
publishes q letter dated Augusta,
Maine, November Goth, 1870, from
James G. Blaine, TO Warren Fisher,
Jr., of Boston, Offering, for So, 900,
to procure for Fisher the one hun
dred and ninety part of
the entire franchise of the Northern
Pacific railroad, including the land
and the company's stock. After de-
scribing the immense prospective
profits of the transactions, Blaine
says he cannot himself avail of the
opportunity, but obeying the fret
and best impulse, offers it TO Fishor.
In his concluding paragraph Blaine
says: Keep my name quiet, men
ton 1t TO no one, unless to Mr..
Caldwell. Blaine's receipt to Fisher
for the $4,000, and the agreement
to deliver as described, is also pub
lished. Blaine was unable 10 deliv~
er them, and after over a year of
waiting. Aquilla Adams, one OF the
pool for which Fisher acted, re-
claimed the $4,000, his interest,
from Blaine, aud obtained it. The
correspondence seems to have been
furnished the Sun by Adams, q let
ter from whom is also published.
