In relation To the Kansas Pncido bond
charges, concerning which no allusion was
mado by hIr. DLA1NE in his statement Of
Monday, Topeka, Kan., dispatch supplies
various facts of interest. It appears that the
story iH MI old one, having been published in
1879 by tho New York Tribune, md subae-
quently disproyea md withdrawn. The
person in question is not tho Hon. JAMES g.
blaine, but Ia Jor1s E. BLAINE, formerly Of
Kansas, and now Of Montana The Inter
obtained BONO Kansas Pacific bonds in
1861 or 1862, between ono and two
years previous to the nomination OF
JAMEa G. BLAINE for his first Con-
grcasional term. Statements in writing woso
made in 1872 BY THOMAS EWING, Jr., and Col.
JouA B. STEWART, both in tho employ OF tho
Kansas Pacilo Rond, distinctly and specific
ally denying tint JAMES G. BLAINE up to that
tiino Ind any connection with, or interest in,
the Company, either as stockholdcr, n6ent,
Or cmploye, or in any capacity whatsoever.
Moreover, it appears that the court records
do not show tho namo Of JAMES g. BLAME,
and that tho revival of tho story, which was
set at rest long ago, is utterly gratuitous and
malicious.

MR. WAsHBUANE DECLINES.

At noon to-day, tho Hon. ]. nuAsxLL JoNEs, Of this
city. received tbs following dispatch:
<aea Toad + Hsa esoinpto d:eas % ss.oussy s S iSs
nomination for Governor. T. D. WAsunuRNk.
This Is qulte uno1pected eyon to Mr. JoHEs md
other frfonds Of Alr. WAHnBuanE In this city. A.
soon Al Learning that Tho above dispatch had been
received, representative OF the Journal called
1lr JoNEs It the House. md tho result Of tho
interview may Ia stasad in these worda BY that gentle
man:
"you ask mo Why At this stsge Of tho CANVASS, Rr.
wAsuDunxx declines, after my roativo assurance
that ha would accept tho nomination. AL I can 1t
present say Ia, that On my return from Europe Last
fall was written to cnd asked by many prominent
Of tho Republican party from various
parts Of the 6tato wheLher ME. WAsHnuRnr would No.
ccpt tho nomination OF Governor u rendered him.
replied thtt In conversation With Nr. WAsnDunME,
In rasis, aomo monshs ago, asked him what he ex-
psctel to do his return horne. ue then remarked
that, Hhould continue in public 1ife position iii
the aft OF the Htato Of Iltinois would grafy
much that Of Governor On tho strength Of thIa
hit. WAsununNK's friends lave urged h0 name in
connection with tho aoFrrnorphtp. sorry he de-
cncs, for regard his nomination forcgono con-
cluAIon, II he should consent TO run and thInk
one can doubt that hs would have been The strongest
mAn in the Slate at tho hand os our tlcke.''
This unexpected nows nlay c4uso &ome important
changes n tho aspect Of ths 0ubernatoriA canvass.-
Chicago Journal
Wo wero very much surprised to find tho
above in last evenings Journal It is mont
likely TINT when Mr.. WAsHnunNz observed
tint his nomination would be attended by q
heated struggle in the Convention, ho con-
cluded not to nocept it under those circum-
stanccs. If tho public sentiment had pretty
unanimously settled down on him rs Il Guber-
Material candidate lie would probably not
havo folt at liberty to peromptorily decline !;
but VIC suspect he folt distaste to be placed at
the head Of tho ticket If 1t involved wrangle
or turmoil in tho party to obtain the position.
There is little doubt that he would hayo been
nominated, but perhaps not until after the
second or third ballot. He was beyond all
question the strongest man yet mentioned
for tho placo, and his election would have
Aonored tho State and giyon dignity to- tLu
Office. The contrast between statesman
like WAaupunNr, with nntional and intcrna~
tional fame, and ths mousing demagogus who
now occupies and bolittles the Gubernatorial
office, is that between strongth and foeblo-
ness. It is too painful to contemplate.

WIS ever experienced In tho history of tho
Union. Tho protective thrift hnB been prac-
ticalty tested, and tho result is ruin and
desolntion which will bo felt for mnny ycars

Of tho protective tariff has awakened tho
whole country to the pornicious policy on
which 1t is founded, and sooner or Inter

cessity for Its repeal, aud refuses to mike
that ropeal distinct pledge, will DO swept
from political existence by people who
have submitted 80 long to bo p1undercd
and ruined by corrupt and covardly pol
iticians who, behind tho claim Of pre-
serving their consistency, consent to tho
grossest robbery Of tho people. Tho pro-
tected cotton manufacturers Of New Eugland
