New-York tribune., 1884-10-03

The only foundation for the accusation Is 'ho
fact that he informed friend OF chance 10
buy an interest in the road, which he frankly
said he could not himself touch. The money
was sent TO him and subsequently returned with
legal interest. Ash did not deliver the stock,
he could not have owned it. andthcre is nothing
to show that he expected to receive comll'is-
sions or any pecuniary advantage from the
transaction. The Evening Post, from lack OF
ANYTHING in the evidence to urge against Mr.
Blaine. has assumed, without an atom OF PROOF,
that the reason why he did not sell the stock 10
Fisher was because he had received better
offer from somebody else.
4. The Times has charged that Mr.. Blaine sup
pressed four of the most important letters IN
the Mullgan package and substituted for them
four OF a comparatively innocent nature, which
were not called for by the memorandum, there
bv telling stupendous lie when he took hity
millions of people into his confidence and SOL
ennlv asserted that he had read every " scrap
and scrimp;ion.n The Democratic Sun conclu-
sively proved this charge to be false, and that
the only letter not read was the one which, rs
Mr.. Blaine stated at the time, was not in the
package. Fish 9r and Muliigln have fully con-
frmed his statement by producing the ietter
which he was charged with suppressing. lel
The Times and The Ereniag Post have gone on
living about this suppressed letter
>. The Clereldnd Plaindealer enyious OF the
reputation for mendacty which these NeW-l orh
journals were acquiring. asserted t'ht hr.
b aine, after subscribing $1,000 to the GARFIELD
Monument Fund, kept back the money until Il
few months ago. when ne sent it in view OF MS
approaching visit to Ohio. This meanest OF all
the campaign lies has been pronounced an IN
famous falsehood by the officers of the Garfield
Monument Association.
6. The Erening Post, after tabulating its PET
| tifogging qubbles over Mr.. Blaine's veraclty'
| branded him as a sclf-convcted liar for stating
| on july %, 1884. that he was not and never
had been the owner of any coal lands or coal or
iron stock in the Hooking Valley. w. ID. Lee
promptly refuted the charge by explaining the
nature of the transaction referred to In the re-
CENTS and vouchers displ aged as proofs OF the
charge. He showed that Mr. Blame had
sent him $4,000 with the understanding
that it should not be considered subscription
but as a private loan, if at the end OF TWO years
| he should so elect that he did so elect ana
that the borrowers placed in his hands certain
stocks az security for the loan; and conse-
Guently that he told the trHth when he declared
that he had owned neither the lands nor the So
curitics put up as collateral for the loan. Or
course, The Erening Post and The Times per
slst in repeating the charge even after its iaisiy
| has been established.
:. The charge attributed by The Hcr0id
falsely we hopc) TO Mr.. Beecher was TO the
effect that James I. JOY had stated that VIZ.
Blaine had offered to appoint certain memberS.oi
! Coner, s. on a railroad committee at his request
and Gictation provided he would take %Z3,OoO
in railroad bonds off his (the Spcakcr*)
hands. Mr. Joy himself cables the most
.wccping and emphatic contradiction Of
this lie. although no intelligent person needed
10 wait for Ibis. remembering that this Is the
same mar who nominated Mr.. Blaine for the
! Presidency tour years ago in the National Ike
publican Convention.
5. The IndianopoIis Sentinel charges-hut we
refrain. Our readers have rights we arc bound
10 respect. We cannot follow these foul SIAN
derers in their wauton assaults upon thc purity
and sauctity Of Christian home.
# is camraign Of principles and men on the
Republican side. On the Democratic side it Is
campaign of lying. The Democrats adopt
| these di-crcditable tactics because they nave
formed thc habit Of conducting campaigns in
tins way. They have not yet got above
the level of the sidewalks where they
sclibblcd 329 four years ago. The lnde-
pcndcnts who have rushed into their foul en-
brace. are rendered desperate by the certainty Of
defeat now staring them in the flce. A they
have not established their or yinal case against
SIR. Blaine, they are compelled to manufacture
charges ont of the whole cloth. II IL gro
tcs1ue carnival OF cant, hypocrisy and mon
Il iciiv. They ransack his business transactions
for new SANDERS No lie Is too foolish FOR them
to reueat. Having failed to convince the
American people that Mr Blaine was corrupt
ani ttnal legislator, they are striving to prove
