The Blaine Scandal.

Some time during the period that
Mr.. Blaine was Speaker of the House
of Representative, the Cincinnati COM
mercidl publish a full and very graphic
account of the peculiarly persuasive
circumstance under which he (Blaine)
became a benedict down in old Ken
lucky. The author of the narrative
was Kentuckian, and personally cog
infant of the facts which he submitted
in the premises. If we remember
Alright the wedding was decidedly I'm
pratn,ptu affair. No cards, nor any of
the usual formalities-that is, hynaelaeal
formalities. There was no foolishness
about it either. The wedding party,
though not drawn from the fashionable
society of the vicinage, were well
meaning lot, and meant business, as
Mr.. Blaine himself will testify. There
was nothing mean about them either;
they just requested" Mr.. Blaine to
"Take his choice" and he took it like a
little man. 1t runs in our mind that
the party wore revolvers in their belts,
but we are not sure. If they did, it was
only for moral effect and as an evidence
of good faith. 1t also runs in our mind
but lest we might do injustice to the
well-meaning citizens who so nobly
stood by Blaine in the supreme emer.
gency to which we refer, and until Inc
"took his choice" as aforesaid, we will
close by asking our friend Halstead, F
NJ, if he will be so obliging as to seek
out the narrative in question from his
files, and republish it for the benefit o1
the prevalent political and clerical ap.

A Changed World.

The Irish World supports Blaine.
Two years ago the Irish World did not
support Blaine. On the contrary, it
said of Blaine:
Ex-Secretary Blaine is announced to
speak in st. Louis at banquet given
by the Knights of st. Patrick on the
evening of March IL. A more unfit Sc
lection could hardly be made, as it Is an
insult to the intelligence of self-respec-
ting Irish-Americans to ask them to lis
ten on st. Patrick's day to a man who
refused to stir finger to release from
British dungeons American citizens
of Irish descent Illegally arrested al
though at the time it was his duty to
see that these citizens were either ac-
corded trial by jury or released from
prison. Mr.. Blaine is reported as hav-
ing Presidential aspirations. He sees
no chance of getting nomination from
the Republican party, and it is said
that he Is determined to run on an in
dependent ticket. AS Mr.. Blaine is a
thorough demagogue he thinks, per-
haps, that he may succeed in winning
some Irish-American votes by figuring
as one of the orators at st. Patrick IS
night banquet. He forgets that his pres
ence at such meeting after what he
has done is an insult to every intelligent
Irishman present. Does he for mo-
ment suppose that American citizens,
with Irish Blood in their veins, will
ever forget that when he was Secretary
of State he allowed American citizens
residing in Ireland to be arrested and
imprisoned on mere suspicion, without
his calling the British Government
to account for this violation of interna.
tional law, as he was in duty bound to
do? We can understand how this con-
duct would entitle him to hearty recep.
tion at gathering of Anglo-Americans
as, for instance, meeting of the Socie-
ty of st. George-but what claims ii
has upon the admiration of the Knights
of st. Patrick passes our understand
! ing,

Not that Kind of a Republican.

Because some Blaine partisans think
the dissemination of scandal regarding
Governor Cleveland is the proper way
to answer the serious charges against
their own candidate, it must not be
supposed that all Republicans have de-
generated. For instance, here is let

not an Independent-to the Republican

PHILADELPHIA, PENN, August 16.-
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Demo-
cratic candidate for Vice-President, ac-
companied by Ex-senator w. A. WAL
lace, alighted from the fast express this
morning as it came to q stand-still at
the Broad-street Station. The states

and the Pennsylvania hurried to the
street. The Indiana statesman paced up
and down the passageway, but was soon
Joined by Chairman Hensel of the State
Democratic Committee.
Mr.. Hendricks seemed confident of
victory in November. ''The Democrats
will win," he remarked. "New York
and Indiana will be carried by the De-
inocracy. As to New York and the talk
about John Kelly, | think he will un-
doubtedly support the ticket. John
Kelly's letter to the Democrats of Eu-
fala, Ala, defines his position accurate
ly. He told them that Tammany Hall
has been as faithful to the Democratic
party as the needle to the North Pole,
lalthOugh these vilifications which have
taken place from time to time have CIV
en-, no doubt, different impression.
Recently in New York Mr.. Kelley used
almost precisely the same words In q
conversation with me, and feel assured
that he was earnest and sincere. With
the electoral votes of New York and In
diana assured, there isevery reason why

sorry to say it, but / believe that it will
be one of the most indecent political
campaigns ever known in this country,

all kinds of political mud throwing, to

paigns, but these methods have pro-
gressed so far already in this contest
that their continuance appears to be

BLAINE TO COME!
How the Indianapolis sentinel Will
Welcome Him.
lIndianapolis Sentinal. 18th. !

llnulanapOlib Sentlnul, lOtIsl
"Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes! James G.
Blaine, James g. Blaine, James G.
Blaine, come into court !"
The exact date is not given when an
indianapolis bailiff will theatrically
shout the above summons. But it is
near at hand. Proceedings are to be in
stituted against the Sentinel for crimi-
nal libel under the Grubb libel law at
an early day by Mr.. Blaine, who comes
out by special train to appear as a wit
ness. Perhaps Judge Norton will re-
ceive telegraphic instruction from Mr..
Blaine at just what moment court shall
be convened. 1t is not true that the
trial will be held in Blaine's special
"Little Rock & Fort Smith" car. The
''plumed knight" thinks the political eff
feet of his courtship of the Sentinel will
be heightened by a street display of his
casque, hauberks, .greaves, visor, shield
and wooden sword. He will be assisted
onto 'tattooed' horse, the Times edi-
tor holding the stirrup, and preceded by
a brass band playing "The Mulligan
Guards will describe circuitous
route to the court house, where Re-
publican Glee Club will sing for greet
ing campaign hymn, beglnnlng:
swhoop! our tattooed knight is loose,
Roaring around like the very deuce
When the Sentinel man is arraigned he
will have certain papers in his hands, at
the sight of which the plumed knight
will bIuster up smile and say, "Let
me look at them, please; l will return
them to YOU" Then will the Sentinel
man reply: Excuse me, Plumed Knight,
but my name is not Mulligan! In the
very instant of this refusal Mr.. Blaine
will do something ofa theatrical nature,
but whether the performance turns out
to be a home made sunstroke or another
suit against the Sentinel for refusing to
deliver up the papers to the knight, he
has probably not yet decided upon:
But, in all events, the prosecution will
be a plumed one, and all the public will
do we'll to apply in advance to Blaine's
Indianapolis ticket agent and stirrup
adjuster-the only living Sancho Panza.

The Withdrawal of Blaine.

The withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine as the
Presidential candidate of the Republi-
can party may be confidently expected
before many days. 1t is not yet offici-
ally announced either by Blaine him
self or by any one of his committees;
but the indications point Enthusiastically
to the publication in the near future ola
formal and peremptory withdrawal.
One of these indications is found in
the fulsome eulogy lavished on Blaine
by his organs. AS there is no founda-
ton therefor in Blaine's character or
record, this eulogy must have some ul-
terror purpose. What other purpose
can it have but to prepare the public
mind for Blaine's retirement from the
canvass? The public is morally sure to
reason that man of such supernal gifts
as those with which Blaine is credited
by his organs cannot possibly intend to
go on with campaign where he is con-
tinually confronted with the cold facts
of record and the pictures of the cruel
caricaturists. And SO reasoning, the
public will jump to the conclusion as
the organs evidently intend it shall
that Blaine's retirement is seriously
contemplated. Preparation is thus
made for the announcement that it has
been fully decided upon; and the an
nouncement, when made, will therefore
occasion no shock.
Other pointers in the same direction
are the apathy of Blaine's alleged sup
porters and the activity of the Republi.
can boilers. Blaine, it is well known
is man ofsome shrewd foresight. See
ing defeat inevitable he will withdraw
from the race in the hope that he may
start at some future time under more
favorable auspicices.
The strongest indication, perhaps, il
