THE KIND OF A MAN BLAINE IS.

THE KIND OF MAN BLAINE Is.
The Journal, the home organ OF the In.
diana Republican syndicate of liars. is very
fond of pointing to Mr.. Blaine as typical
American, but we deny that he is in any
sense the representative of true American
manhood and Dnanliness. The typical Amer
lean is an honest man. and that is Just what
Mr.. Blaine is not. IF we were Nation of
rogues, rascals and liars, then Mr.. Blaine
could with great propriety be called the
lowest type of American thought, virtue.

that that is not our character among the

And yet the Journal would set this man
up as typical American Ii he is, it were
better that George Washington had been
captured and shot by the British before the
idea OF a republic was conceived, for. if the
fathers OF the Nation established a system
of government, the highest type of whose
man and womanhood should reach out and
embrace treschery and lying, both in official
and social life, as the apex of the American
theory of government of the people and
by the people; the browning of their efforts
with success was calamity in which the
civilization of this and all the ages to CO me
must participate.
No. James G. Blaine is in no sense 8

politics. From early manhood, when he

answer to questions Mr.. LIE Moyne testified
as follows: "Mr. Blaine came to the Office
where 1 was studying. He told me he

was then passing through Pittsburg with her
friends; that her friends were opposed to
the marriage, and that he could manage to
get her out of the hotel for short time il it
could be arranged to have the ceremony per-
formed. Mr.. Blaine asked me to get another
witness to the marriage. l went to see
friend of mine, Mr. David w. Bell, lawyer
in Pittsburg, and asked him if he had any
objections to be a witness to a marriage OF
that kind. He said he had not, and by
agreement l got him and went to the
preachers house. Shortly after we got
there Mr.. Blaine came in with a lady, aud
they stood up and were married and went
out. The only persons present were Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Bell, Mr.. Blaine, this lady

SENATOR HARRISON.

Senator Harrison represents the fanRtical
wing of the Republican party. He is the
John Brown of Indiana RepubIicanisra. only
there was some method in Browns madness
while Harrison seems to be possessed Of an
evil spirit and is sctuated by the lowest in
stincts in his attacks upon not only the
Democratic party but all who are in opposi-
ton to him in politics and religion. He
certainly must be lineal descendent of the
inventor of the chief instrument of inquisi-
torial torture in the middle ages. 1T he were
q man Of letters, or q statesman or student
of the science of government and political
economy, or anything else that would COM
mend his utterances and observations to the
public his wild and beastly attacks upon
those who are not of his political faith
might be attributed to q mind that
had become impaired by too much learning,
but he is nothing of the kind. He is mere
protoplasm when compared with the Ed
mundses and Conklings Of his party, and
hence we are bound to conclude that he was
created to exemplify and prove the correct.
ness of Calvin's theory of total depravity
by his daily political walk and political
utterances.
His chief delight when making political
harangue is to charge the Democratic party
with being the friend and supporter of
slavery, treason and reputation, but the
effort is always so dramatic that his hearers
generally conclude that it is only a tale told
by an idiot full OF sound and fury, signify
ing nothing.
The reason why the people have con-
cluded that Harrison is considerably below
the average politician, is that he never in
good. His mind can not grasp any OF
the great problems OF government. He is a
lilliputian in all those things which go to
make a man conspicuous in literature, law
or science. His speeches both in the Sem
ate and on the hastings are lacking in every
thing except billinSsgate and abuse. He
never argues point. His brain is not broad,
clear and comprehensive enough for that,
and when he does attempt to discuss eco.
nomic questions he so reminds one OF q
boy trying to batter down Gibraltar with
pebble stones that his effort becomes ludi-
crous.
But as dabbler in and finger of mud, he

generate grandson of an illustrious grand

ADDITIONAL INrERROGATORIES
ATTENTION. MR.. BLAINE,


ATTENTION, MR.. BLAINE.
Mr.. Blaine having, at his own instance,
obtained ruling of the United States Cir
cult Court that he was not compelled to
answer the questions we put to him in our
answers, afterward published in the newsps
pers pretended answers to these questions.
In ths court they are yet unanswered, be-
cause after the ruling that the questions
themselves were improyidently propounded,
these pretended answers subserve no legal
purpose whatever.
The original inquiries being as yet wholly
without answer, we have concluded to ask q
few additional questions of the same easy
and simple character as the first. So that
the distinguished plaintiff, when he comes to
really respond in the cause, may have no
unnecessary trouble in recalling the whole
OF his early marital career at
a single glance Mr.. Blaine was asked in
the first series of questions who were present
on the occasion of his marriage. He an
swers that two persons were present at his
pretended marriage in June, 1850, and that
two other persons were present at his mar
riage in March, 1851. OF the latter he says

or the two witnesses named by him as being
present at the mock marriage, one was
lady-she could not have done so. The other
was grocery and provision merchant, liv.
ing at the time in Maysville. Who then
solemnized this (2) first marriage?
Mr.. Blaine says that his first marriage was
always by himself held sacred, and "kept in
purity and honor" His own account of
these matters shows very clearly that even
his second marriage was not so kept.
We have thought 1t entirely proper to ask
some questions, and to require answers
thereto respecting his conduct immediately
after his real marriage.
Did the sacred honor due to wife then
at least lawfully married require Mr.. Blaine
to leave her alone and unprotected in q
