THE POLITICAL CONTEST.
N ulItgan Letters Yet UnpubIished-Sald
to be More Damaging than Those Made
Public-Existing Letters About the
Union Pacific Transaction.

"ulIigan Letters Yet Unpublished-Said
TO De More Damaging than Those Made
fnbltc-ENisting Letters About the
Union Pacific Transaction.
Letters from Mr.. Blaine to Warren
Fisher, Jr., says a Boston special to the
New York EreniHg Post, are probably in
existence besides those which have
already been published. Whether thev
Will ever be printed will depend on the
course 4 the campaign. Before the
second instalment of letters appeared
they were described to me in part in a
way which corresponded exactly with
their appearance. My information now
IS OF the same character as before, and |
nave Just as good reason to believe that
these other letters exist as | had four
weeks ago to think that Mr.. Blaine had
written "burn this" to Mr.. Fisher. l have
Just as direct information that not by any
means the most damaging of Blaine's
epistles to Fisher have been published.
and especially that if one of them were
gwen to the public, sit would drive Blaine
from the country by the next steamer"
All the remaining letters, so am told,
have been given outright by Mr.. Fisher 70
Mr.. MulhSan as his own property to do
with as he sees tit. For these letters Mr..
Mulligan has been offered by friend of
Mr.. Blaine, my informant states, the large
sum of $3.50, 600. But MIR. Mulligan re-
piled that he had all the money he wanted
and that, at any rate, no amount of money
would buy them; not 100000, nor ST.
100000, nor $l0O,000,0 900. This statement
was made in answer to the question
whether Mulligan was trying to black
mail Blaine. Why the letters are not all
given out l cannot learn. But the ques-
ton, weeks ago, "Why do not these terri
ble letters appear if they are IN exist
ence| was followed by their appearance,
and perhaps these others may appear.
Statements regarding Other letters of
Blaine, which have never before heard
mentioned, have been made to me
by gentleman who says he was told by
man who has read them. He says that
there are in the possession of the Union Pa
cihc officials in this city letters written by
Mr.. Blaine which supply the missing links
regarding the sale of Little Rock bonds to
the Union Pacific Road, and prove con-
clusively' that the transaction occurred
which has been so positively denied by
Blaine. These letters, it is further as
serted, will never be given to the public.
The railroad officials hold them, but SYM
pathizing with the Republicans, will not
permit them to get out,

MR.. CURRY's REPORT.
Mr.. Curry's report, among other things,
says:
The first work Of the fund was to aid in the
establishment Of public school system. That
being uualterably accomplished the Obvious
duty now Is 10 look to the character OF the
Schools ana so direct your helpful appropria-
tons as TO cooperate most efficiently in
making them better, 1t is gratifying that
public sentiment having been won to free
schools Is logically directed TO their elevation.
which Is, Of course. to be wrought through
the agency Of better teaching. The report
then speaks highly Of the improvement
recorded IA the public schools, normal schools
field whore the fund operates. Hampton
Normal school and Agricultural Institute, in
Virginia, says the report, is almost an
anomaly in educational work. Its success
has been extraordinary. An important
change D the course Of study Is to be tried.
Hereafter each class viii be sent out for one
year Tor teaching and other practical work.
Ii Is thought that after a year of real live
work the student viii come back with valu-
able experience and new purposes.
The report Of the Treasurer was read and
adopted. and the old board of officers and the
OLD committee were continued The Board
OF Trustees Will meet again tomorrow.
