BLAINE'S RESIGNATION.
An Official Letter on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %.
To correct certain misstatements which
have been made in regard to Blaine's with
drawal from the cabinet the following has
been furnished for publication
On the 22d day of September Immediately
after President Arthur had taken the
oath of Office, administered by the Chief
Justice of the United States, full meeting
of the cabinet was held in the Vice Presi-
dents room in the Capitol. At this meeting
every member of the cabinet rendered his
resignation, in writing. On receiving the
several letters President Arthur said it would
be,agreeable to him to have the members re-
main in their positions until after the regular
meeting Of Congress in December. Three
weeks afterwa ards Blaine addressed the fol
lowing letter to the President:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1881.
My dear Mr.. President,
When put my resignation in your hands,
on the 22d day of September, you intimated
your wish that all the members Of the cabi-
net should retain their places until the meet
ing of Congress in December. As Secretary
Window expected to return to the Senate it
may precipitate vacancy in the treasury de-
partment in few days. have thought it
might also render an earlier reconstruction
of your cabinet desirable to you.
In that event trust you will not be en-
barrassed at least so far as am concerned.
by your previous assignment of date for
withdrawal. 1t will be entirely agree
able to me to turn over the de-
partment to my successor on any day
that will prove the most desirable and con-
venient for yourself. intended to say this
to you yesterday, but frem the pressure of
other things forgot it.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) JAMES G. BLAINE.
In a personal interview following this let
ter, the President repeated his request that
Mr.. Blaine should remain until December
There was never at any time the slightest
misunderstanding between the President and
Blaine about the later's retirement, and their
personal relations continue as they have al
ways been, entirely friendly and cordial.
