EevivinS the MuIligan Story, and How the
Senator Is Alleged to Have Secured
Package of Damaging Letters.
by Telegraph to the New York HetaId.l
BosTOS, May 29.-One or the strangest
features of the political fight of 1880 rs the
perpetual silence of Mr.. James Mulligap.
Mr.. MulIigan was for q number of years
Treasurer OF the Globe Theater, and very
closely connected in various business trans
actions with Mr.. James G.. Blaine. In 1876. it
will be remembered, be went to Washington
armed with bundle ofVery damaging letters,
which were supposed 10 contain absolute
proofs of the ex-Speskel's connection with
railroad combinations, from which be made
large sums of money. Mr.. Blaine, II will be
recalled, procured those letters and KEEP
them in his possession, thereby dharming
his opponents and escaping from the
threatened exposure. II was understood at
the time that Mr.. Blaine pledged his word of
honor that he would return the letters after
reading them, and that by keeping them he
violated that pledge. For some time very
close personal friends OF General Grant
have been here trying to get Mulligen to
disclose the contents OF the letters,
but be stsadfsstly refuses He will talk to
no newspaper correspondents on the subject,
and refuses absolutely TO intimate the ma.
ture of the documents taken from him.
Some say he is waiting to see If Blaine is
nominated, anO tnen that ne VIII! open nre
on the Maine Senator. Others cay he has
some stronger personal motives. Be the
cause what it may, he will not give any in
formation. The following is given out here
on the authority of a member of Congress,
Who got the story from Mulligan, who is still
a personal friend of his. It proves that
Blaine did not violate his pledge. but it
shows the mans ability and nerve.
MULLIGAS's STORY REVIVED.
Mulligan says he was sitting In tho Riggs
House when Mr. Blaine walked in without
berg announced, and remarked, in his OF.
hand way, "Jim, l understand you have
certain LISTERS which are damaging to me,
end which are TO be putin as evidence before
the Investigating Committee. Let me zee
them, won't you? and I'll promise you, on
the word of a gentleman, to return them TO
you Just as get them" Mullgan had the
utmost faith in Mr.. Blaine's word, and he
handed the package over to him. After
running ove- the pile he selected two or
three, which he read, and then handed
them all back. AS Mulligan was about
20 place the package in his desk Mr.. Blame
sai0 hastily, "Oh, Jim, just let me look at
them again for one moment" This last
request was complied with, bnt this time
there was no guarantee given for the return.
After picking out the damaging letters be
placed them carefully in his pocket, and,
Shaping them on the outside with bis hand,
said Jim, I'll take care of these for you,"
and moving toward the door he hastily left
the room. Mulliger was dumbfounded. He
adds, sententiously. Blaine was a big,
active man, and could not cope with him,
SC he got away with the letters"
