ing remains of the Sons of Liberty, these
connecting links with former generations
of frauds. robberies and shams, these
putreecent "reminiscences of slavery, con-
gregated at St. Louis and dubbed them
selves refOrmers.
Remember that they are the men who
brought the war upon the country. who
have piled up billions of debt, and who
have peopled the land with widows and
orphans.
What think you of such reformers! With
them we may say of reform as was once
said of patriotism, that it is the last refuge
of scoundrels. What think ye when the
wrecker of railroads, who has amsssed his
millions taken from ruined stockholders,
when the land agent statesman. the voter
pions of reform and the protectors of the
people. 1t would be another illustration of
the fable of the wolves who procured them
selves to be elected guardians of the sheep
whom they afterward devoured.
DEMOCRATIC IDEA OF REFORM.
1t is Democratic idea that the relics and
debris OF q rebellion, the pardoned traitors
of an inhuman civil war who were reared
from the high schools of the Ku-K lux and
White Leaguers, the administrators and
defenders of Anders0nville aud Salisbury,
and the alumni of Tammany Hall constitute
the true reformers of the day. To the Dem
ocratic mind the education furnished in
these institutions gives the highest guaran-
tee for reform and integrity in office.
Every profession in favor of civil service
reform by the Democratic party is utterly
hypocritical. Should it come into power
every Republican officer will ut once be
turned out, and it is for this the battle is
being fought. Tilden and Hendricks a.
Governors have had the power to introduce
this reform into their States, but their ad-
manifestations have been rem0rselessly par
tisan. If they were in earnest in their pro-
LESSONS ON that subject they could stop it

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Thsre is great
excitement over the Blaine Mulligan az
fair of yesterday. Mr., Mulligan, on be-
ing called, stated that ne had some let
ters OF bIr. Blaine, that the latter sent
for him, and begged for the letters. He
declined to give them up, when Mr..
Blaine asked to see them, and on getting
them in his possession, refused to give
them up.
Mulligan being asked as to the pur-
port OF the letters so far as the $64 900
business was concerned, said:
may not give his exact words, but
this is the purport of them: That that
money that he had obtained he did net
have in his possession forty-eight hours; !;
that he had not made it Tor himself, but
that he had turned it over to those inno-
cent parties, ailuding TO the Maine par
taes.
@. What reasons did Mr.. Blaine give
you tor desiring to suppress those let-
ters! A. That they would ruin him for
ever. He contemplated suicide, and ap-
pealed to me in every way that he could,
and he began then to talk politics.
Mulligan also put in evidence memo
randum book which he said was in the
OF James u. Blaine, which
gave considerably In detail the bond
transactions OF Mr.. Blaine.
MIR. Blaine then made staten snt, de-
nying most OF what Mnliigan said, but

from Mulligan; that they were passed
from one TO the other several times; that
Mulligan threatened to publish them:
