for President-Leaning to Butler.

for Notwithstanding to Butler

to-day, says a Washington special to the
Philadelphia Times, which was in effect

ney, would, in a lecture which she in
tends to deliver at Chicago just previous
to the organization of the Republican
Convention, exhibit the Mulligan letters
in fac smile, and distribute proofs Of
them among her audience and among del
egateS to the convention. 1t was further
stated that friends Of Mr.. Blaine would
apply for an Injunction restraining
Mrs. Lockwood from circulating the
letters. OF course the story that
she would exhibit the letters i'm

the Mulligan letters have never gone out
of Mr.. Blaine's possession since he got
them from Jimmy" Mulligan, in June.
1876. Mrs. Lockwood said this evening
that she had had no opportunity to use
the originals in the manner indicated and
she did not think any of Mr.. Blaine's
friends were capable of the folly of even
talking about an injunction. The letters
and kilograms which appeared during the
Blaine investigation had been public
property for years.

Mrs. Lockwood did not say so outright,
but she apparently favors Gen. Butler as
the model candidate. She quotes Buffers

monopoly party and lauds the platform
of that party as platform above all
others.
