" A BulIy by Calculation"

Some respectable Republican news
papers of the country have been deceived
by the impudent forgery OF the New
York Tribune, u journal which recently
fabricated and published a bogus speech
by Beecher in defense of Blaine. The
Reading Times, for instance, We ieel
quite confident would not have reprinted
this speech as u genuine production of
Mr.. Beecher had it observed what the
Tribune intended should escape notice
that with its publication, In foot note,
was the explanation that the TriJmrc
had perpetrated "a shameless fraud in
taking a speech made by Beecher for
Garfield and substituting Blaine's name
for the real subject of it.
We take cognizance of the fact that
Blaine's organs now say in his behalf
that he is "cleaner than Garfield" aud
the Tribune would doubtless seek to jus
tify its forgery on this ground. But, be
1t remembered, that the assaults from
which Beecher defended Garfield were
those started 10y the Tribune itself in
1873 and thereabouts, it and many RI
publican contemporaries said as hard
things Of Garfield as the Democratic
journals ever gave utterance to.
But 1t wasn't Garfield alone whom
the Tribune abused. Let us see what il
has said Of Blaine himself. In it's issue
of September 80, 1872 "The startling
exposure of Speaker Blaine's venality in
connection with the Union Pacific road,
eastern division, entirely destroys, of
course, whatever credit some people may
have given to his eyasve denial of the
Oakes Ames bribery. and puts the whole
case of the Credit Mobilier upon diff.
ferent basis. Now it is
shown that Speaker BLAINE NEVER DE-
SERVED HIS GOOD REPUTATION. He
HAD TAKEN BRIBEs IN ANOTHER
CASE"
The Tribune will no doubt have the
audacity to stand up now and say that
though this extract is taken from its
lles, 1t meant somebody else Too late,
too late Blaine never deserved his
good reputation. He had taken bribe'
In another case" That was the con
temporary judgment of Whitelaw
Reid and his New York Tribune. What
