WASHINGTON, D. c.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 5.
Blaine, on the -four Of the House, to-
day made "A personal explanation in re-
gard to the Investigations now beng
made on him. After stating that the
Democratic members of the Judiciary
Committee had not dared to bring him
before the House for refusing tn pro-
duce private letters taken by him from
Mulligan, he announced his %intention
to read every one of them TO the
House. There was y great sensation
in the hall and Blaine was several
tim y interrupted by applause. He
said the object OF all the Investigations
ordered against him al to break him
down personally and not to ascertain
anything tending to injire the Railroad
Company. He said the commute on
real estate pool had also started All in
vestigation aimed at him without any
notice I o himself. 1t was a singular
fact that the Democratic members of
the sub committee appointed by the
chairman of a full committee had both
been in the rebel army, and they feel
bitter against him on o of the
amnesty debate. The committee tried
to get ut this private correspondence,
and the delegation came here 10; ded
with his letters held by Mulligan.
He did what he feltto be his duty. The
Democrats did not d,re to bring the
question Of his right to the letters into
the House. "Having vindicated my
right said Blaine, 'sto these letters
I now 20 further and will read
these letters to the House and
abide by the judgement OF
forty-four millions OF people. Ii is HUI.
initiating, however, to be forced to pro-
duce private letters, but it is better to
do so than to submit to insinuation$.
Here are the letters" said he, hold
ing up a package to view, and taking
out the first letter from the package to
clusion of the reading OF the letters,
and OF memorandums made from them
by Mulligan, Blaine appealed to the
House to say whether any members
private correspondence would better
bear searching. Blaine inquired of
Knott, Chairman OF the judiciary ON
mittee. whether he had not received a
telegram from Caldwell last Thursday
morning, completely corrob0rating
Colonel SCOTS testimony and exoner-
ating him (Blaine). Knctt declined to
reply at present. Blaine then asserted
that such a telegram had been
received by Knott, and charged that
the latter had suppressed it. [Tremen-
dons cheering and %applause.]

that the letters Ito not connect Blaine

riety of speculative enterprises. Per.
haps an opinion nearer the truth is that
of one of Blaine's friends and political
workers, who has built up in his own
mind a theory that the letters are ac-
tually harmless; that, knowing thus,
Blame has purpo>ely made all this
huIlabaloo about them, believing that
the sympathy Of the people will be
with him in his defense OF his private
papers, and that a few days before tho
convention he will read them in the
House and have them published,
thinking TO show the committee up in
a bad light and create a furore in his
own favor hat shall secure him the
Cincinnati nomination. To. day $ ties
tiinony is strongly corrubnrative of
Blaine's assertion that he did not in,
