The New York Sun has again
created . moneutary flatter in politi-
cal circles by charging that Blaine
has had certain business connection
with the Northern Pacific Railway
COMPANY Jinoonpatibls with strict
integrity as Senator, which Office
a, that time he held. Mr.. Blaine has
replied to the sensation, SAYING that
he merely received t2aooo from
friends Of his to purchase for them
some stock in the road ehould he
know of any for s-ls. He held the
money until he found out that no
stock yas for sale that was not in
numbered or that had clear title,
and then returned i, to his friends,
with the interest. That is aplsin
statement, and should disarm any
suspicion that may have been aroused
bv The Suns article. That paper
will endcavor to prevent the nomina-
ton Of a Repablicaa candidate
who would be apt. to cement the fac
tons of the party and carry the day.
/, may be expected to make some
startling disclosures just On the eve
of the meeting of the Cincinnati
convention, when Blaine or whoever
else may be the victim, can have no
time to reply. Delegates should so
we'll understand the policy of this
leading organ of the Democracy as
to pay very little attlstian TO whftit
may at such time say. 1t would
like very much to have weak man
put forward by the convention
some one that Ti,dsS could easily
beat. 1t declares that Conkiing
is the strongest man ROW for the
nomination, and that he would DC
the strongest 10 the campaign of any
of them. Ii strikes us that ConSling
would not assure a victory by any
means. He would scarcely satisfy
the independent eiemsn,of the party
and would not in any sense be as
strong man before the people as
Bris,ow and no, a whit stronger than
Blaine. Yet he may receive the
nomination, in which case it will be
our duty to support him 20 a man,
and thereby prevent, if possible, a
return to power of the Dcmocrscy.
The sun has no doubt at this time
some startling story all cut and dried
10 publ.s.. against some leading Re
publican candidate at time when it
will DO the most good.
