rial says 1.-THE Developments In the
Blaine matter will DO read with profound
regret by the whole country. without
distinction Of party. for We have pride
In our public men. The fall OF a man
as conspicuous rs Blaine Is q misfortune.
No one can doubt. after reading the svi.
dencs Of that curious creature Mullissu,
that Blaine is not worthy Of the conf.
dsnce Of his countrymen. The man
who had any hand In this
gigantic robbery, for robbery II was. de-
serve, no mercy from Americans. Blaine
can give no explanation Of his relations
with the railway. consistent with his
duties as an honorable. self.respscting
member Of tho House. and the develop
ments remove him from any consider
ntion ~ candidate for the Presidency.
There is no man in public life for whom
we have a kinder feeling, and Of whose
conceded intellectual force and patriotism
we have a higher appreciation than
Blaine. But the man named for Pres
ijent by either party must be above sus-
picion. The contest il too close, and
the issues too vast for any man TO run
horses handicapped by records that
need explanation. No man can 90 from
tho investigating committee Into . con-
vention and expect to he a candidate for
the Presidency. What, then, will Mr..
Blaine TO with all his strength. in

the canvass takes, II seems now rs u
washburne comes to the front as the
dark horse. supported by the followers
OF Blaine, who are changing leadership.
Everything begins TO clear In. with

upon him.
A Tribune Washington special says:
1.-TWO things only remain for Blaine to
10 in order to clear up this whole mat
ter. The first Is to produce positive
proof that tho bonds which Tom Scott
sold to the Union Pacific Company were
not bonds which Blaine obtained from
his Maine purchases, nor were part Of
those which hc himself owned. It Is
also necessary to remove from the pub
lie mind all suspicion that the letters
which Blaine took from Mulligan con-
tain something that, II published, would
reflect upon his character or reputation.
Tho Tiribme's editorial says; "Mr,
Blains's enemies have charged that no
was carrying tho Convention by n game
Of brag. They are now ~sndsavorins to
break him before the Convention by the
same game. It will have Its effect; but
