Mr.. lluuton Of Vrgiaia. Chairman o!

O personal manner, and denying that The

kuoSledging the receipt OF the Caldwell
telegram.
Ii is very evident that this Committee
does not intend to present report In
Mr.. Blainc's tayor; but will keep the
matter before the public until after The
Convention at Cincinnati. Such treat
ment was expected by Mr.. Blaine. and
tor that reason he made his first per
sonal explanation, before asaing for y
Committee to Investigate his conduct.
VARIOUS COMMENTS.
This Is the way the \. Y. Tribune puts
il: "Mr. Blaine has seized his oppor-
tuuily, and Is once more the man OF the
hour. The patriots who have been
parting his garments among them may
Us well abandon that cheerful tesk. He
is not hall SD near dead rs his prosecutors.

day in the House The reyulsion in MIR.
Baine's favor Is instantaneous and over
whelming. Ii he was the strongos-
candidate week ago. he is stronger noS.
What Mr.. Blaine has done is Tar more
than simply 10 disprove the allegations
against hun. That indeed he has done
thoroughly. The letters about which the
coulid, nce-man Mulligan declared al

given TO The world. and are seen 10 be |
harmless.

is scarcely possible that the Judgment OF /

He has enlisted on his side the young

OF Repre- sen,atives. The sympathy oil the !
masses are with him"
Dan" Voorhees,. who, while a men,
Der OF the House. was regarded as one OF
the most ultra oi democratic partiZans,
said tonight that il was The most bril-
liant. bold and daring attack he ever
knew in his lie. Mr.. Blqine was like q
hOrSenan riding al irightlul pace
against a stone wall. lie must either
clear it or be dashed in pieces against
il. But he had cleared it with plenty OF
room 10 spare.
Mr.. Steele. delegate from Wyoming,
an old soldier. democrat, and man
not likely TO lose his head, said that il to-

There is one man who has got comfort
out of Mr.. Blsine's triumph of Monday.
whose name people can never guess.
That's rebel Gen. Ben Hill OF Georgia.
Ben says: Il have been abused. and Will
