sible evidence that Fishers note of October
"a. 1871. although scheduled by Mulligan as
in the batch which Blaine wrested from him
In the Riggs House, was not there and did not
pass into BIaines hands with the others is
found in the fact that the missing document
is one of the lot printed this morning, 1t has
remained in the possession Of Mulligan until
now. Blaine did not get it. and he did not
suppress it.
The New York Tribune remarks upon
this fact as follows:
The new publication embraces that very
letter OF October "a, 1871. which Mr.. Blaine
has for eight years been accused of suppress
ing As The Sun showed with great clear
ness, the oft-reiterated charge was reduced at
last TO this one letter. which was named in
MuIligan's memorandum, but which Mr..
Blaine declared was not in the package re
ceived and publicly read by him. Continually
| The Times, The Post, and other papers have
repeated that Mr.. Blaine lied, and had delibe-
rateiy suppressed this letter. Yet now the
laundering rage of his baffied accusers pro
duces it from their own stock, and makes one
thing clear Eight wears Nulligah has seen
Mr.. Blaine falsely accused OF suppressing
/ this letter, and has known all the time that
the charge was false because he held in his
possession the proof Yet he has kept back
that proof and silently allo Sed the lie to go
on doing its dishonest work, and thus has
made that lie his own. in order to blacken the
character Of Mr. Blaine In the light of this
| fact, who should now be believed Mr.
Blaine. who told the truth. or his accusers.
selt-convicted OF falsehood And why was
| this letter then suppressed Because, as it
now proves. Fisher and Caldwell had failed
to make good pledges upon which Mr.. Blaine
had borrowed 1925, 900 for their benefit.
Thus does this last move of the opposi-
ton to overthrow Mr.. Blaine work to his
benefit and the discontinue of his enc
mics. The appearance of this letter,
proving that Mr. Blaine did not have it
and therefore did not suppress it as al
legged by his enemies, but that it was in
the possession of Fisher and Mulligan all
the time, is piece of great good fortune
for which Mr.. Blaine may thank his SLAM
derers.

Mr.. Blaine INDICATED

For eight years Mr.. Blaine has been
accused of suppressing letters which were
mentioned in Mulligan's memorandum,
but which Mr., Blaine informed the House
were not in the package which he read
before that body.
Now in this new batch Of letters appears
one of the very letters which Mr.. Blaine
was accused of suppressing. 1t has been
In the possession of Fisher and Mulligan
these eight years, and they have never
raised their voices to state the fact, but
allowed Mr. Blaine to endure this unjust
and defamstory charge, which they could
have cleared up at any time with very few
words.
Thanks to the publication of the new
letters, Mr.. Blaine is indicated against
that SANDER. The New York Sun, though
not friendly to MIR. Blaine, says upon
this subject:
We have also confirmation, in a form as
defence of Mr. Blaine against the charge that
he suppressed some of the letters obtained
from Mulligan. 1t may be remembered that
the Sun showed exactly where three of the
four documents said to have been suppressed
by him might be found The case of sup
preston finaily rested on a single letter OF
Fisher's-the letter which, as Mr. Blaine in
formed the House, he failed TO find in the pack
age, We were convinced upon examination
of the record that Mr.. Blaine told the truth
about this missing letter of October "a. 1871
He did tell the truth, and he ought to have
the benefit of the discovery. The best pos

Grover Cleveland's political friends, at
his home in Buffalo, have been engaged
for some weeks in trying to get up
spontaneous" reception for him. After
everything had been arranged, he was to
be invited to Buffalo, and. amid enthus-
asm and red-fre and roman candles and
popping champagne corks, the city was to
express its undated confidence IN its
townsman aud its condemnation of the
REV Ball" especially. But the commit
tee IN charge finds its task an unexpected
" difficult one--in fact, many irreverent
Buffalonians are inclined to ridicule the
whole thing, and it is intimated that it may
vet be thought best to abandon the project,
and to save Mr.. Cleveland from being
subjected to another such modification as
he endured when the citizens of Buffalo
refused to grow even moderately enthusi-
astic over his nomination.
