THE CROOKED CANDIDATE.

He was Speaker Of the House OF
Representatives, a position both
important and powerful, at the
time the following incident trans
PRED. The statement of Mr.. J. T.
Joy, a sanguine supporter of Mr..
Blaine, is thus related by Henry
Ward Beecher:
"Toward the close of the dinner
on Sept. goth, 1877, political mat
tiers were introduced, and, among
other things, Blaine's failure to re-
ceive the nomination that went to
Hayes. Mr.. Joy spoke with con-
temtuous severity of Mr.. Blaine
and gave this statement: when a
difficulty occurred in regard to GER
tain lands in the Southwest, in
which | was interested, committee
was about to be appointed by Con-
gress to examine the matter. Blaine
being Speaker of the House,
through friend, | asked Mr..
Blaine to have one sound lawyer
appointed on that committee, l did
not care of which party. l simply
wanted a sound lawyer. In a day
or two Mr.. Blaine sent me word,
through a friend, that he had GER
tain deprecated bonds, and if l
would enable him to place them at
par, | could have NY committee as
| wanted it, l cannot forget with
what cutting scorn Mr.. Joy leaned
hack in bis chair and said: THAT
is the man Blaine u.s. and he add
ed: 4 refused the offer, and as the
courts very soon settled the matter
there was no committee appointed"
Blaine and Mr.. Joy both have
recently denied this little item, but
it seems that every time the "Plu-
med Knight denies or tries to lie
out of any Of the many charges of
corruption brought against him pal
pable proof Of his mendacious bold.
ness springs up to confront him
In addition to his fascinating mag
netic virtues Mr.. Blaine is rapidly
gaining ground as the champion
liar of the century.
SHOULD neither Cleveland or
Blaine receive a majority of the
electors chosen by the people at the
coming election, the election for
President would devolve upon the
House of Representatives and that
of Vice-President upon the Senate.
In that case Cleveland would be
elected President and Logan Vice
President. The House of Repre-
sentatives would vote by States, as
provided by the twelfth amendment
of the Constitution Of the United
States. The Democrats have a
in each of twenty-one out
of the thirty Eight States that con-
stitute the Union-giving them a
majority of four. In the Senate
the members would vote 'individu-
ally and the Republican majority
would be three. = Shreveport
