Blaine and Garfield.
Murat II HaIstead's Significant CenvsrassIsn
with the Latter.

(New York Despatch to Cincinnati Comtnsieial.)
have received letters asking whether Is is
true that had conversation with President
Garfield about his relations with Blaine, .
short time before the horribls deed Of murder
by the crank Guiteau. The fact that bad
such conversation had been several times
Published, and it may be well to STATE the sub-
stance of it again.
The time of this last talk with Garfield vas
between hslf-past 10 aud half-past IL O'Clock
ON the evening of Thursday, the Last iisht Of
June, 1851, aud the place the White HpWRs.
Tue fatal shot was fred on the follosinr Has-
urday morning. July 2. The suhsfas6s n
what President Garfield said about Blaine wps,
first, that no one acquieeced mora readily and
cheer!nlly than Hlelne with tho annoans.,-
ment made at the first cabinet meeting that
the members would be expected 70 csnals
the mselves st richly to thsir respoosiys d.
partments. All had been careful NOS 20 erc,r
the lines thus drawn, aud none more - than
Mr.. Blaine.
President Garfield further said that. ss 10
the New York appointments which had nads
such commotioD, the whole responsibility
was with himself, and that be regarded the
imputations upon Blaine in that connection ~
particularly offensive, because they were nt-
tempts to belittle his (the Presidential part in
his own administration. He said the appoint
ments as they were made, were q surprise 70
Blaine as to others. The simple truth about
the matter was that President Garfield, feel-
ing greatly disturbed by the New York din
culties, thought to solve them by q bold stroke
that would be q sufficient notice OF his purposs
to be himself the President, and to recognize
his own friends, and after the shock be had Is
in mind TO deal generously with those who had
been against him. He believed IL was his duty
first to assert himself, and 1t was his cherished
purpose after that to make peace aud heal all
the wounds that bad been inflicted in tho war.
