the Sentinel has proceeded at any stage
Of its controversy with Mr.. Blaine upon
other than its own responsibility.
Although it is well established that Mr..
Blaine himself, his national committee
and his editorial organs, connived at the
introduction of these methods into the
canvass. Mr.. Cleveland, on the other
hand, earnestly deprecated them and
declared that he would rather be de-
feated than have them invoked the
national committee disavowed them and
the state committee of Indiana served
notice on the Sentinel that it must
shoulder the entire responsibility for its
venture. That journal very naturally
was indignant at the apparent discrimi.
nation which Mr.. Blaine had made
against 1t and at his sensational and
dramatic tilt. The Chicago Times had
previously printed the story, and he
passed it by unnoticed. The Portland
Argus, in his own state, printed a
worse one and he took no notice
Of it. The Warren, Ohio, Ledger,
which is supporting him, published
a bad one but of none of these nor of
any other did he take cognizance. He
pounced down on the Sentinel alone !;
which, compelled to bear the brunt of his
attack, has made a very natural defense.
1t has picked up his glove and the issue
is made. IL is to be seen how Mr..
Blaine will meet it, and whether he is
really as anxious to have it promptly
settled in court of justice as he pre-
tended to be.
We do not believe he is. 1t could be
safely wagered ten to one that Mr..
Blaine will never show up; that he will
never answer the interrogatories served
upon him. The reason for this is that
the SeatinelS charge does not appear
to be an "infamous SANDER" that
needs Lying ard perjury" to sustain
1t, or evidence TO be manufactured to
establish its substantial truth For
twenty years it has been pri.
vately discussed by the gossips of
Washington society; and more than one
woman,s ,stung by Mrs Blaine's arrogance
and naughty pride, has taken malicious
pleasure in repeating it. Democratic
politicians, committees and newspapers
had no thought of ever introducing such
a subject into the canvass, nor OF bring
ing sorrow and shame upon all inuocent
household. For that Mr.. Blaine himself
and his managers are responsible. Even
when introduced it would have died
ssillborn but for his characteristic ash =
ness and fondness for displaying what
''s-f;iends call aggressiveness." 1t
has served him III In this vanture for
the facts are against him. We peifov.
that twill be shown that he was married
under the circumstances which have been
related that the witnesses to the cere.
mony are living, who knew the compul-
sion in the case at the time, and that the
Sentinel has them ut its service they are
corroborated by the record furnished by
Mr.. Biaine's own family record He can
neither alter nor efface it aud this il
the whole truth of the case. The pous
sCavengers" who have assailed Mr..
Cleveland may apply their standard OF
morality TO Mr.. Blaine as well first a,

DEATH THE CyCLUsE.
Three Persons Kiliea and Many rjured .

Ciesr Lake, wis,
News has been received that the town
of Clear Like, Wis, was badly wrecked by
n storm between and o'clock Tuesday
evening Half of the town is in ruins.
Three persons were killed and many in
Jured. Clear Lake is a small place off the
line of the railroad, and particulars are
slow in coming In. The path of the
storm was half a mile wide. The storm
first struck a mile and half north of
Minneapolis, moving easterly through the
town of Mariae. on the st. Croix river,
aud thence to Clear Lake. Nothing has
as yet been heard of any damage east of
that point.
A cyclone struck White Bear Lake,
Mimi, at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Its
track was less than mile and half
wide. There was the usual funnel shaped
conformation of clouds, slightly green in
color. Mrs. brakes fine large house, to
the west Of the town, suffered seriously
Most of the the windows were blown in
and other damage was done. The sheds
OF the Duluth railroad were demolished
and hundreds of trees were blown across
the track, between White Bear station and
Dellwood. Some persons assert that there
we're two storms, one from the southwest
and the other from the northwest, and
that they met at White Bear.
One-half of the lighter structures in
Clayton, Wis, were blown down by the
storm. Tho cyclone struck about p. M,
doing nearly all the damage in fifteen
minutes.
The storm at Chippewa Falls. Wis, on
Tuesday night was the worst of tho season.
The river ia now sixteen feet above low
water aud is still rising rapidly. Compe,
tent judges look for much higher rise.
In this case the upper bridge over the dam
will probably go, as it is badly strained.

The Ironsides and Lancaster clubs had
their pictures taken on Tuesday.
The Lancaster club defeated the Lock
Haven at home, yesterday, by the score of
4 toe.
Concerning the story Of the knavish
treatment of the Lancaster club by the
East Liberty club management, the Pitts
burg Dapdteh says: "The local club
desired to beat something ; aud as no
Pittsburg team has for years been known
to beat its opponents at base ball, the
natural resort was 10 beat the betting pub
lic. II they were prevented from doing 80
by the Lancaster crowd, tho only recourse
left was to beat tho iecalcitrant visitors
out of their guarantee money. What they
will beat next is not to ba predicted
lightly but If the story is true, the next
thing they ought to beat would be slaves
on the barrels at Caremont.
