1t will be remembered that in his defence
of Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Phelps alleged that Sena-
tor Edmunds bought stock in the Burlng-
ton & Missouri railroad in 1859 and subse-
quently, while still holding the stock, voted
as Senator on the question of its land
grant. Mr.. Edmunds has written letter to
Mr.. Phelps denying the charge. The facts are
substantially these: The last vote in the
Senate over the land grant was In the spring
of 1869. The grant had been made while
Nebraska was a Territory, and after it was
made State it was necessary to confirm by
another law the land to the road. This was
done, and so much matter of form was it
that no yea and nay vote was ever taken on
the passage of the bill reaffirming the grant.
The road, however, wanted to change lis To-
cation so as to lengthen its line some 10
miles. Mr.. Edmunds was 80 determined
that no advantage should accrue from the
change that he supported an amendment
that no more land should be given the com
pany by virtue of the new line than would
come from the first grant, and that the loca-
tion of the grant should be the same as orig
inally selected. Mr.. Edmunds took care
that no benefit should accrue to the road be-
yond what had already been guaranteed it.
At that time he did not own dollar in the
stock, and only the next fall did he make a
moderate purchase. This is precisely the
defence made for Mr.. Blaine by Mr.. Phelps
with regard to the Little Rock aud Fort
Smith transaction, and if the facts are cor
rectly stated. it is perfect one.

There seems to be disposition In some
quarters to accept Judge Appleton's decls-
ration to the Boston Post that be is opposed
to the prohibitory amendment as vlndica-
ton OF the correctness of the Bangor Com
mercial's recent statement of the Judges
opinions. The fact is overlooked that the
opinion Of the greatest importance which the
Commercial attributed to him was not bis
view OF the utility of the amendment, but
his opinion as lawyer that the amendment
would repeal the prohibitory law. There is
nothing In the declaration made to the Bos-
ION Post which vindicates this alleged opin-

The second and fourth district Republican
conventions both adopted resolutions strong
ly favoring the denomination of Mr.. Blaine.
The first and third districts adopted no reso-
lntions on the subject. But in both those
districts the sentiment is probably just as
strongly in favor of Mr.. Blaine as in the sec
ond and fourth. The fact is that it has been
so generally admitted in this State that Mr..
Blaine is the choice of the Maine Repub-
licans that it has not seemed necessa-
~ until lately to formally proclaim that
such is the fact The stories which have
have recently been so industriously crcu-
lated in other States, that there was luke
warmness towards Mr.. Blaine in Maine, un-
doubtedly had much to do with calling out
the resolutions which were adopted in the
second and fourth districts. If meant SIM
ply for home consumption they were super
huous.
