\ correspondent of the Chicago
DAILY Ne1rS has been down in Maine
looking into Mr.. Blaine's sales OF
Little Rock and Fort Smith railway
bonds and the paper has published
the result of his Investigations. He
finds that sl62, 600 worth of the
bonds were sold to sixteen persons,
only seven OF whom are now living.
Five Of these, or their rcpresenta~
tives, says the Philadelphia Times,
were seen by the correspondent and
they generally united in saying that
Mr.. Blaine had dealt fairly with
them in the transactions. Some of
the bonds were taken back at par
and others at from seventy to sew
enty-five cents on the dollar, and no
general complaint was INDUCED in
The son and representative of Jo-
seph \. Anderson, who bought $780,
800 of the bonds, talked differently.
He maintained that all the custom
ers were not treated alike, and con-
tended that his father had had very
great difficulty in getting a settle
ment with Mr.. Blaine. This was
never reached during his fathers
life and had passed out of the sons
accounts until after the nomination
at Chicago, when, he alleges, an Au-
gusta lawyer approached him and
offered to pay the balance, now
amounting to $4,000, if Mr.. Emory
Sanborn would sign a certificate of
character for Mr.. Blaine and surren~
der all papers and correspondence.
This proposition was declined and
there the matter still rests. A num-
Der of letters from Mr.. Blaine, wrlt~
ten with his unfortunate facility, are
published as illustrating phases of
the transaction at different stages,
Mr. Sanborn making the charge
that the various letters exculpating
Mr.. Blaine were drawn from the
parties interested as a part and par
eel of the price Of settlement.
