TIT FOR TAT

The Republican press has for some
time past devoted most of its energy and
space To the dissemination Of all manner
Of foul SANDERS upon the private char
actcr of Mr.. Cleveland, and having thus
eIHspcrated the opposition to the top Of
its bent, these mis-. rable slush-slingers
are suddenly brought to n halt by Il
bucket Of their f~ayorite missile. thrown
slap in their teeth. By their continued
foul abuse o. Cleveland they have in
vited retaliation, and Mr.. Blaine will
now take q public position i'll the private
piilory.
But the fact is, the public has nothing
to do with the family or other private
affairs Of q candidate, and really feels
little or no interest in such matters; nor
does mn intelligent public take much
stock in any newspaper representations
OF a political nature. unless such repre-
sensations are sustained by the public

fcult or impossible to obtain, and even
when secured, ere of no public interest.
The public life and actions OF u public
Official are, however, legitimate themes
OF discussion and investigation, and
there can he bnt little doubt that the
violent attack upon Clevelands private

tr .cting att;uti IL ( ON the publ C career
OF SIR. Blaine. There has never been a
man nominated Tor the Presidency for
whom his party have claimed so much
nor f"r whom 20 much has been denied.
Even his religious views nrs a matter OF
dispute; his New England supporters
declaring him q stslwart Presbyterian or
Ca whist. while the more southrrly wing
OF his claquers are as positive OF his de-
YOU Catholicism. But as To his reli-
gious convictions il lie has any-us
interest in them, because il il none rl
the worlds business, and what the voters
OF America propose to stick to and thor.
oughly ventilnte, is the public career OF
Mr. Blaine and that Of his party.
Enough OF his public record has already

and respectable element OF the Republi-
can party from his support, and not
outstanding the furious cry OF "EtOr

VINO WAS NIT

The following strange story appears in
the wallowa. (oregon) Chieftaiu, Of the
7th instant. Some Of our r. aders may
have known the missing man. TO
~uri the close Of November. 1883. there
was . horse found on the range near
Snake river about 65 miles from here
with n saddle on and having every sp-
pearance that il had been saddled for ut
least. six weeks. I. was known to belong
Ia T. j. Douglass who has not been seen
since. He lived alone ON the banks Of
Snake river and herded his band Of
horses which numbered about 100 head.
He was a bachelor and lived the life Of a
hermit. He s ldom came to the settle
ments and 10 one ever head him speak
o. his early life. He was a man OF about
35 or 40 years Of age, light hair, light
complexion. blue eyes and was about ST
l0ipches in height. 1t is believed that
he formerly lived near Wells or Eiko,
Nevada. also in Marsh Basin, and near
Boise City. Idaho. Among his effects
was the picture OF a y"ung lady, name
unknown to the writer. His cabin,
when first visited by the parties who
first found his horse, appeared to have
been suddenly deserted; the table was
spread, the M nj apparently unfinished.
his pocket book containing n few dollars
and a note drawn in his favor, lay oil
the table, but there was no clu. of when
he had let or where h, had gone. IN
availing search for his body has been
made, strange tracks were discovered on
the hanks of the river not far from his
house. Whether he was murdered and
his body sunk beneath the sull IL waters
Of Snake river or whether his horse WAS
the cause of his death is. and perhaps
ever will be unknown. II he was MUIR
der, d. no effort WAS made to drive off
his horses, but it is possible that lie
might have had considerable money
about him. II his horse killed him the
wild beasts must have destroyed his
body. lie had lived in that cab'no on the
hanks Of Snake river about three years.
No word has ever be. received from his
and it is possible his name was
not Douglass. We only know that his
horse was found on the range, saddled,
that his herd was unmolested. that his
cabin was deserted. and that Douglass is
missing.

JHE MoRsY LETTER.

The 'onB-delayed expose by United
States Commissioner John I. Davenport
OF the Morey letter has been published.
Ths book sets forth that the person who
actually Penned the forged Morey letter
was . lawyer Of New York named Henry
h Hsdley, Davenport describes him MS
. manipulation Of insurance companies of
doubtful character and Of other matters
equally p~recanous. with an innate love
OF intrigue. and a craving for notorety,
and an uncomfortable desire to dip into
Poiidcs and to correspond with public
men: He quotes from his letters to show
IhAt he always waI a Democrat, though
ut the time Of the commission of the for.
gerry he was Secretary Of the Hancock
Republican Association, in the rooms of
which the forgery was committed, on or
about October 2, 1880. The forgery,
according to Hadley's admission, and
the cofrmatory evidence collected bv
Davenport, was originally in the form o.
an extract from a supposed interview
with General Garfield. Davenport DOS.
ssssed himself Of about a 1000 l.t,ers
written by Hadicy between 1870 and
1879, and finds all the distinctive marks
OF the photography and ca!igraphy alike
IN thom and the forged letter.
Hadley admits he wrote the name Of
Henry l.. Norey in the register of th,
Kirkland House, Lynn, and su~bstitu,edit
tor the name Of George Z. G. Morcy ia
an affidavit Of Mrs Clara Morey. declar.
ing he WAS her son. These foreeri.s
were made to sustain the original for
geri.s. There was no such man M
H.. l.. Morey, to whom the forged let
tiers were supposed to have been written,
nor was there such q person as J.. W.
Goodnll. who claimed to be executor TO
il. l.. Morey. and who transmitted the
forged letters to Truth. Lindsey, like
Aorey, was a fictitious person, and the
man o'Brein. who impersonhted him on
Philips examination was arrested for
forgery, confessed, and il now serving n
term in Sing Sing prison for that offense.
