OPINION OF NIB. BLAINE's SPEECH.
Your correspondent was in error in the report Of
the debate Mr.. Blaine's resolution yesterday in
stating that Mr.. Edmunds read book during tho
delivery of Mr.. Blaines speech. Mr.. Edmunds had q
book in his hands; he was looking mp q passage in
this book when Mr. Blaine began to speak but he did
not read during the speech. Further. the Impotence
he showed that the debate should close arose
out of strong desire TO lose no time
needlessly from the discussion of the Presidential
Elections bill. which Mr.. Edmunds is very anxious to
pass at this session and hopes to bring to vote
Az his haste aud apparent impotence to
end the debate and go to the regular order mis-
understood by many persons It is just to him to
state. the best authority. that he is favorable to
the resolution of Mr. Blaine and thinks tho democrats
made grave mistake when they did not at once. and
