From Portland Press,
A Roland for his Oliver,

The New York Evening Post charged edi-
torially that MIR. Blaine as soon as he had
entered Garfeld's Cabinet ''be gan at once to
commit and advise every form of civil ser
vice abuse that ''he plunged into spoils
and wslowed in them like n Shinoceros in an
African pool :" and much more OF the same
sort.
Mr.. Blaine replied to these sweeping
charges through an Interview in the Chicago
Tribune in which he held Mr. Carl Schurz
20 be the author of them. MIR. Blame de-
clared the charges to be ''untrue in whole
and in detail, meanly and maiiciously untrue
so absolutely untrue that there is not one
fact or shadow of fact to sustain them" Mr..
Blaine continued as follows:
III chaIlepgr Mr. Schurz to bring forward not a

OF his verscity as private gentleman who is bound
To be careful in his statements"
Beyond this defiant challenge to Mr.
Schurz. MIR. Blaine proceeds to carry the war
into Africa and charges violation of his own
civil service professions upon Mr. Schurz.
We quote part of what Mr.. Blaine says on
that point:

After waiting patiently for about an hour,
and having caught nothing, he was about to
remove to another part of the pond, when
suddenly and without any warning the ground
opened beneath his feet and he felt himself
drawing into the yawning abyss, without be-
ing able to aid himself in escaping from the
horri lie situation. Deeper and deeper he
sank while terrifying thoughts passed rapidly
through his brain, all his sins of omission
and commission following one another in
rapid succession through his mind.
He reasoned that his chances of escape
were small in that untrequented spot, far
from human habitatiOn with only the frogs
and fishes to hear his irenzied shouts for help
which rent the air. Despair was fast settling
down upon him when, as he took one last
agonized look about, hoping TO find some
straw to which he might cling, the breeze,
which had been growing stronger, suddenly
blew the waving top of a small tree
within his reach. With the desper-
alton of dying man he grasped the
frail thing and by dint of persistent and we'll
nigh superhuman effort he succeeded in eN-
Treating himself from the quagmire, and
weary, disappointed and empty handed, but
heavily laden with the real estate bordering

He felt twenty years older than when he

ever, aver that his hair is no grayer than il
was previous to his adventure, but he posi-
lively asserts that he will go on no more fish
