We admire boldness. Even the high.
way robber. who, sssaulting the traveller
upon the road, is resisted and.6ghts and
dies bravely, challenges from most men
and receives too a species OF admira-
ton. Dick Turpin had applauders OF
his galantry. Capt. kidd."as he sailed. as
he sailed was hero in the belief OF
many foolish men aud of very many still
more foolish women. Why Therefore
should admiration be withheld from the
Hon. James G.. Blaine of Maine? la
politics lie is what Dick Turpin was on
the road or what Capt. Kidd was on the
sea--a bold bad man. He is polit-
| ical hgliwayman. lie cries "Stand
and deliver!' and does this with bold
ness that is ut once audacious and almost
daring In its easy insolence. lie is poliii-
cal pirate. lie runs up the flag OF inieg-
rity and under II cuts honest threats and
scuttles ships after he has robbed them.
Some time ago we did not believe this
of Blaine now we have no doubt oil
| 1t. We formerly believed him TO be pc
litical bravado-a controversial dare
devil. INSCRIPTIONS in statement and
reckless of consequences but since the
IIunton subcommittee began TO investi-
gate his bond record, We have reached
the conclusion that he is as dishonest as
the day--as the week-as the month
| as the year is long.
To Mr.. Mulligan he said
You propose to testify against me,
and use in bolstering your evidence GER
tain letters | wrote to man Of the n lme
OF Fisher:''

Blaine an implied promise that he would
