the victim of Warren Fisher, deceived by him
from the start, induced to involve himself and
friends in an undertaking in which they all
suffered, crippled by the refusal of Fisher to
Keep his word, persuaded when disaster came

personal credit, and finally left In the lurch by
ms protested friend, who reasoned that Mr..
Blame, being public man, could never afford
to demand what was justly due him, for fear
of scandal

tnti-tarif talk, and are accompanied with the
assertion that this question is exciting the ut
most interest The result in Maine, they say,

anotice of life of Hendricks as follows;
He is well known in this region as mean
sopperhead in war, and foxy, ambitious trick
ster in peace. After bowling "fraud" four
years, he spoiled the old ticket by greedily
reaching for the first place himself FOur
years later he took the second place to pro
Vincal politician, and he would doubtless take
anything rather than be retired to private life.
This is not quotation from his ''life," for we
have not read it No doubt Patent Office re-
ports would be thrilling compared with it

has shown himself to be bitter enemy Ofthe
workingmen and their interests by vetoing all
the bills which the workingmen have for years
been trying to have enacted into laws in New

The Kenebec, Me, Journal contains the fol-
lowing: "Mr. Blaine accompanied by his wife,
arrived at Bar Harbor. In answer to reporter
who called at his residence to ascertain if he
wished to say anything in regard to the letters
given the public by Fisher and Mulligan, Mr..
Blaine replied his only desire was that every vot-
er in the United States might read the letters for
himself and not form his Judgment from edito-
rial misrepresentation IN partisan journals.
There was not word in the letters, Mr.. Blaine
added which was not entirely consistent with
the most scrupulous integrity and honor. He
hoped every Republican paper IN the United
States would publish the letters In full"
