GIBSON AND RIDDLE.-A. M. Gibson, cor
respondent Of the New York Sun, is out In q
long reply to the stat ements of Mr.. A. G.
Riddle, charging him (Gibson) with being
an caves dropper and q falsifier In regard TO
the Knowlton- Blaine matter. Mr.. Gibson
states that SO far from getting the story by
overhearing IL, Knovlton told 1t to him d.
rectly, as he did 70 almost every other corre-
srondent, and that the story was almost as
common as q bar-room jest when be printed
an allusion to IL. Mr.. Gibson proceeds SNOW
reconcile, II you can, these facts with your
theory that Knowlton was enabled TO come
TO me and conscientiously deny the story I
had printed, because IL was not strictly ac-
crrate. Your hypothesis Is tenable In one
way only, namely, that my knowledge of the
facts and circumstances was confined to
what you assume from Boyntons statement
i overheard In Knowlton's Office. The truth
IS, as every man who knows me will not
couot, that MIR. Knowlton could not have
imposed upon me In that way. In Justice 70
his memory, which Ia II kelly to suffer much
be hands ofindiscreet defenders like your
self, am bound 10 say that he attempted
nothing OF the kind. He came to me with
all the outward appearance OF fraukness and
told me that he was now satisfied that he
had mista ken another man for Mr.. Blaine.
He succeeded In convincing
me that he was not only In earnest about
testify ing that Blaine was not the man he
bad seen In Stewart & Riddles Office but he
satisfied me that he was honestly desirous OF
remedyipg q wrong, for the commission of
which he knew very well he was primarily
responsible"
