RIaines Attack ON Massaelrn-
setf4.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-0ne Of the
most extraordinary scenes ever witnessed
occurred in the Senate to-day. The ses-
sion was set apart to hear addresses upon
the character Of Wm. King, whose statue
has been received from the State Of
Maine. Upon this semi.iuneral occasion,
Mr.. Blaine, in carefully prepared and
set speech, made an elaborate attack upon
Massachusetts,, charging her with disloy.
atty, and little less than treason, in 1872.
With his vehemence Of manner, he raked
over the old issues OF those days, and at.
tempted to hold Massachusetts, up for
ridicule and scorn. Considering the
time and place il was by general
consent Of all fair men, one ol
the most indecent attempts Of tho
kind ever made in the Senate. The
care with which Blaine had prepared
himself was one Of the main points OF his
oilense. His evident purpose seemed to
be to play upon the latent feeling ol
Southern and some Western men toward
New England, and the zcst with which
these men, most Of them Democrats, list
ened, showed how eiTe ctiyely he framed
his appeal. The intin alton in reply by
Senator Hoar, that thu action Of Massa
chnseits and the Cine .innai convention
had much TO do with 'Blaine's opinion O.
his State, was keen home thrust, which
most present felt 10 ford 3 very plausi
BILE explanation Of thii cold blooded pre-
paration Of the attack he made to-day.

iess that there were men in the Republi-
can party at that time with whose ex-
treme views he was not in sympathy. He
did not, however, go out TO escape libel
suit, nor did he pretend TO be ont Of the
paper and at the same time keep open
a back door entrance for sinister pur.
poses. No Ills pendens" had to be served
on him. He went out when the firm of
which he was member were the public
printers Of the State, when the Repub-
licsn party was in power, thereby show
ing that he was not a hanger on to the
party for spoils. He came back 10 the
position in the same good faith in which
he left IT, and after the party was out Of
power, and when there were no other in
ducements to resume 1t save such as
might attach TO congenial employment
diligently and honestly followed.
We make these allusions simply to
show that Lewis Baker cannot drag us
into the category where he stands in the
estimation Of his party and the public.
No set OF politicians ever made up
purse to get clear Of baneful name and
influence in this paper, as the Democracy
did when 4 score or more OF them sub.
