A Ifbune editorial says Blaine's
speech is straightforward and lucid,
and II his statement Of facts be accept
ed there will he little or nothing left to
support the scandal in any OF its pres
ent forms.
The San says Blaine made his prom.
Used speech yesterday. His subject
"a the $64,00O paid him by the Union
Pacific Company for worthless bonds.
His explanation Is not satisfactory.
We believe he had the money.
The Herald says: We think the
long statement by Blaine will be ac-
cepted as satisfactory by candid men
of both parties. To be sure it is ex
parte, but lie assigns very good rsa-
sons for collecting the evidence him
self and coming forward in his own
vind.cation. Accepting Blaine's vim
d~ication, the public will be curious to
know who Inspired the accusation.
Harrison Is = Republican and nnder-
stood to be a personal friend of Blaine's
rivals. 1t would now seem in order for
Morton tn rise and explain.
