Effect or Mr.. Phelps' Defense

Congressman Phelps, OF New Jer-
sey, comes TO the defense of Mr.. Blaine
in the charges that have been made
against his integrity, as they have lately
been restated by the New York Erenin0
Fost. Probably Mr.. Phelps starts into
this defense OF his own motion. as Mr.
Blaine is net accustomed to defend him
SELF when he can get out OF it
and would hardly have authorized
at present restatement OF the
defense which he has heretofore
made to these charges In view OF tue
popularity of MIR. Blaine now among the
people, who have long been made ac,
quainted with all that Is now said against
him, 1t must be agreed either that they
haVeaccepted his defense as satisfactory.
or that they are really to take him
just as he is.
frobaoly there il something of
both feelings beneath the fealtv n,
his Republican supporters. They
think he Is maligned for the most
part and II he is not, that his virtues
overcome his faults. We, on one side. have
never entertained doubt that Blaine is
great scamp. The evidence seems
conclusive TO us on the subject and We
do not think that we are prejudice
against him. But 1t is certainly remark
