stances: Recently t!iey hal quarrel
nnd MortCe slapped Chisholm's face.
The matter rested until Yesterday, when

see the fast train como in. After The

Park, where the California Boat Club
had picnic. they came together, and
Chisholm demanded satisfaction for the
assault. AIortee replied tha; ho would
put the affair III the hands of n friend,
and settle it i'll gentlemanIy way.
This WIS unsatisfactory, and, after
some pariey the parties adjourned to
neighborins grove, where the alter
cation was continued ut length. Fl.
nally Chisholm advanced upon 1Tortce,

y 7IiI"ne's Washington special gives
the opinion of Leading Congressman
and others upon Blaine's explanation.
Hancock, of Texas, thought the speech
would re-instate Blaino in the public
confidence. Knsson, of Iowa, SAWS
there is no stop for Blaine now, and
he would he nominated ut Cincinnati.
Hnwcs, Of Massachusetts, was again
confident that Blninc's friends would
sustain him. Garfield says the day has
been strong ono for Blaine aud his
friends. Allison, Of Iowa, heard the
speech, and said il wGs n most salts
f:ctory defense. Banning, Of Ohio,
thought Einine had not treated tho
Committee properly. There was no
hope left for him MS regards his noninn-
ton. His explanation, however, gives
his nrdent supporters ground to stand
upon i'll continuing to urge bis claims.
Biainc's explanation in tho House
yesterday is tho subject of general com.
ment by the press to-day. The NeraI,l
says his reading tho letters in The House
relieves the anxiety of his friends and
crcatcs reaction in his favor by dis
closing tho actual contents of the cor
respondcnce, which is not so fatal TO
his reputation rs his extraordinary con-
duet lel the country TO expect. II dis

date remains pretty much where il was.
His claim to be considered rs II suitable
candidate has not been sensibIy nd
vnncCd by llia explanations.
Tho Tribune thinks Blaino's vindicn.
ton complete, and considers him Il
stronger candidate than over before.
Ills prospects for the nomination were
never fnircr.
Tho World says Blaine cannot wisely
be regarded us lin absolutely dead man.

Tho Times considers That Knott and
his colleagues have given Blaine M op-
rortunity OF making highly effective
exposure Of tho deliberate unfnirncss OF
tho methods Of investigation employed
against him. Dlainc's statement will
he welcomed by all Republicans.
