The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1884-10-08

was IN possession of documentary evidences
most damaging to Mr.. Blaine when read in
the light of subsequent events in which
Blaine was an active participant has been a
source of constant trouble to Mr.. Blaine and
his Managers The New Age will say on
this subject tomorrow morning:
1.-THE effect of Mrs. Morrilrs reply to the
insult offered the memory OF her lamented
husband by the Republican State Committee
of Ohio has been incalculable. Coming from
the source ii did, it has created the most pro-
found sensation of the campaign. This is
apparent from the most inhuman and dis
graceful means adopted by Blaine through
his henchman, J. l. Stevens, to counterfeit
its effect. Every effort has been brought to
bear upon Mrs. Morrill, to induce her to re-
tract. but she has steadily maintained her
position, and in answer to hundredsof letters
received by her, has reiterated her statement
as given to the public through the New York
press. Realizing the impossibility of extort
ing from Mrs. Morrill, a retraction, and fear,
ing further statements backed up. by proof
they have succeeded in getting the
brother of the late Senator Morrill, to take a
most neartless and outrageous part in the
case Governor A. Z. Morrill, knows full
we'll the truth Of Mrs Morrilrs statements,
and that she has but expressed the senti-
ments of her late husband. Eight years ago.
as can be proved, that gentleman denounced
ELAINE as corrupt man and as unsparingly
as Mrs. Morrill, has done. Did Senator Nor
rill then take the Governor to task for this?
IL Mrs. Morrill, has not stated the truth why
cid the Governor publicly declare that If
Blaine was nominated at Cincinnati in 1876,
he would not support him. but would stump
the State against him? Was not Senator
Morrill, in full accord with the sentiments
of his brother? But Mrs. Morrill,
has not ,misrepresented the senti-
ments of her late husband. She has
m No fho uhni
half OF it. as her prosecutors in this city
well know. Hence their rage and the das-
tardly treatment to which Mrs. Morrill, aud
her family are subjec ted. They know that
Mrs. Morrill, has in her control certain let
tiers of Mr.. Blaine, written to her husband,
which. if given to the public, would fully
vindicate her every statement. They de-
mand that these letters shall be surrendered
by Mrs. Morrill, and placed in the custody of
some friend of Mr.. Blaine, or some one
whose affiliations are with the Republican
party. 1t is to obtain possession OF these
interesting documents that the BlaInites are
making their attacks on the widow of the
dead Senator, and resort to the most detesta-
bic means of persecution, intimidation aud
terrorism. These letters in question Mrs.
Morrill, regards as sacred and she does not
propose giving them to the public unless
compelled so to do in self-defense, to vindi.
cate her course and to relieve herself ana
family from Blaine's satellites. The letters
will not be surrendered at the demand of
Mr.. Blaine to him or to any one of his ap-
pointment. Theyare now beyond the power
OF Mr.. Blaine to reach or control, as we
know they are deposited in trustworthy
hands, ave accessible to Us aud will be given
to the public with Mrs. Morrilrs consent,
unless Mr.. Blaine shall so change his course
as to compel his purveyors to withdraw their
prosecutions and threats against Mrs. Nor
rill and her family. A word to the wise is
sufficient
