it. but it is pretty well known that any one

succiI C; and careful summary and statement
of the case. Any enemies of Blaine who ex-
pect unpleasant reflections to be made on him,
will tie mistaken. The committee was lim-

| OF certain papers from the State Department,
! and the question whether any United States

committee will report that no United States
| officer did so interest himself. That is the
| question in the report in which the public

hostility in this country by establishing the
