ton, offering, for $4,000, to procure
for Fisher the one hundred and nine
ty-seoond part Of tho entire franchise

says: keep my name quiet, mention
ing II to no one, unless to Mr. Cald-
well.n Blalno's receipt TO Fisher for
$4,000, aud agreement TO deliver as
described, Is also published. Blaine
was unable TO deliver, and after over
a years waiting, Aqulla Adams, one

reclaimed 5000. his interest nom
Blaine, aud obtainedit. The correspon-
denco seems TO have been furnished
the sun by Adams, a letter from whom
Ia also published.
Ex.Speaker Blaine, In reply TO Ia.
quIries concerning the letter, says I;
''Some six or seven years ago some
friends OF mine In Boston desired 10
make a small investment In the North
ern Pacific Railroad enterprise, and rs
the ylce-president OF the road, Hon.
II. ID. Rice, was near neighbor Of
mine In Augusta, II was thought !
m light find out where and how the pnr-
chase could be made, In one or two
Instances ! heard OF interests beine
for sale, but nothing was done,
Finally, In the autumn Of 1870,
n definite interest was for sale and II
was brought to my attention, with
very glowing and extravaganza accounts
Of Ito prospective profits, az II was u
road chartered by Congress, deriving
Ito franchises aud grants directly from
Congress, and liable at any time 10 APP
ply to Congress for future favors, l did
not myself entertain, for moment, the
Idea OF becoming Interested In II but as
