[AKRI AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 4. Gov. Cleve-
stll land was nominated at Chicago, on July
rn la. 10. The alleged facts of the Maria Hal
|Centr{ sin case, were used there against him by
gu AN An John Kelly and others, and were al
SEP Jluded to in many OF the newspaper
E0M Nj despatches from Chicago. They had,
hi, for ytherefore, unquestionably been made |
MIL IknoWn to Mr.. Blaine and the Republic |

Ia al ON July IL, Col Zinro A. Smith, for
seventyears Secretary of the Republican State |
n9 NEE COMMITTEE OF Maine, when Mr.. Blaine |
neaIs Twas its chairman, but now editor of the
selIsIBoston Journal, came to Augusta, and I
!, - tS0ilWas in close consultation with Mr.. |
liz yesrIBlsine during most of that day. He is |
to be one of Mr.. Blaine's most |
~ refalntimate and trusted friends. He re-
sly Sfurned to Boston July ID, reaching there
pr = Hate that afternoon. The first detailed
I sctI 1uhlicatiOn of the alleged facts was made

Iyiously the proof was too tlimsy, the
FlNtauthority too obvious, tho animus too

,15Ty L most conservative newspaper in New
Fnar,, IEugland in admitting 10 It's columns

sep9( Investigating committee ofindependent
BO0EI@ Republicans (all well known and highly
FL refaI RESPECTED citizens of ButfalO) to be abso
"paeIIy lutely and maliciOusly false. The Bos-

~ yest gatiOn OF Il correspondent sont from
iote Boston to Buffalo. In his report he says

N MN detailed statement, signed by the
h,rod N the Rev. Mr. Ball, on July 10Th. On the
Il and Lafternoon of the same day the Buffalo
jy2O-iI evening newspaper printed the infa-
IAN famous story in much the same fashion,
wages with the same details, as they afterward
