The New YORK Herald having thorough
~ sifted the late edition of the Mulligan
letters, says they prove that "as friend
Blaine was false to his friends; as swind-
Ter he was false to those associates whom
he helped to swindle the government, while
rs public officer he did not seem to COM
prehend or conceive that he was in place to
protect the interests of the people against
precisely such speculative schemes as those
to which he sold out the authority of his
Office" That this is correct statement
of the gist of the letters no unpreJudiced
man who has read them can deny. And yet
there are some really reputable people who
are assisting the star-routers in their efforts
to make Mr.. Blaine President.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER IS.

PROFESSOR SEELYE, in the current num-
her of the North american Reriew, says the
reason of the prevailing loose party ties rs
not that the American people have lost their
moral earnestness, but because they possess
this to SO great a degree" The Professor
never made greater mistake. There CAM.
be much moral earnestness i'll people, one
half of whom, and that half composing the
"hieh moral party of the country" noml-
nate and support for their highest office a
man who is proved, by his own letters, to be
utterly regardless of both truth and honesty
and who prostituted the speakershlp OF the
House of Representatives to the low pur'
pose of his own pecuuiary gain. And, if this
statement be not strong enough, it can be
made stronger by mentioning the fact thai
though some of the most respected men in
the party referred to, men who say they
would die before they would do such things
as Mr.. Blaine has done, though confesslng
their knowledge of his moral turpitude
avow their intention of voting for him, be
cause-they belong to the republican party
Is there much moral earnestness in that
These men do represent, or have represent
ed large constituencies, and there is nc
doubt that representatives do really repre-
sent the people who elect them. Does their
open support of such man as Mr. Blaine
show that their constituencies possess high
degree of moral earnestness?

Ex-SEcRETARY HAMILTON FISH now says
he thinks it dangerous to entrust the gov
eminent to the South, and that he expects
to vote for Blaine. But that Mr.. Fish's
party doesn't think it dangerous to entrust
governmental affairs to the South is appar-
emit from the fact that it has entrusted many
such affairs to Southern men. Look, for in
srance, at Malone, Longstreet, Key, Hunt,
Akerman, Mosby and others. The repnh-
lican party thinks Southern men are safe
enough, provided they be republicans. Il is
only when they are democrats that they are
unsafe. All reasonable people are tired f
such stuff.

this be SO it is to he hoped that he may be
provoked, by other attacks upon him, into
