years ago. told Henry Ward Beccher i'll
1877 that Speaker Blaine offered to appoint
4 committee to suit him if he would take
certain bonds OIL his hands Alger, the
| Republican candidate for Governor oi
/ Michigan, cabled dispatch to JOY, who is
| i'll London. whether the story was true
Joy answered that Blaine never offered tc
/ appoint a committee for consideration
| Yesterday Beevher wrote To Alger that Iol
told him when a difficulty occurred il
regard to certain lands in the southwest IL
which tJoyl was interested, a committee
was about 10 he appointed by Congress t,
examine the MATTER Blaine being Speaker
| in the House. Through friend | asked
! Mr.. Blaine to have one sound lawyer ap
! pointed on that committee did not care
/ l..
! sent me word through a friend that hC
had certain deprecated bonds, and that il
/ | would enable him to place them at par
| could have my committee as | wanted it
/ | refused the offer. and as the Courts sOor
j settled the matter no committee was APP
| pointed.
| Beecher's letter is thus commented OF
| by the Tribune: Beecher complains thai
| General Alger's telegram to Joy was mis-
| leading, and the reply irrelevant to the
subject-matter, because it did not specify
/ that the Little Rock bonds were mentioned
The Tribune points out that JOY S reply Gov
| cred everything; Blaine never made me
any offer to appoint q committee for the
consideration OF anything whatever.
! What is there in Ayers letter that is mis-
| leading and in JOYS answer irrelevant? II
/ is q pity that Geecher should have neg
! lccted to relate the conversation which
| passed between himself and Blaine III 1880
| Beecher had been gossiping about this
| scandalous charge-which, on its very face
was prepOstcrous-With some Brooklyn
/ clergymen, and one OF them had informed
| Blaine of the fact Blaine when he came
/ to New York, sent for Beecher, and in
great Indignation asked him for his atl-
| thority. Ii was stormy meeting, and
| Beecher felt the hot breath of Blaine 5
/ righteous wrath.
Henry Ward Beecher, when asked
whether he intended replying to the Tii5-
/ atte'S charges this morning, said "I.haye
nothing to say ] have made as full 4
| statement as | care to make | made ii to
clear myself of the imputation of distort-
| ing facts and acting in bad faith | don't
care to talk garulously. After q while,
when | have had time to collect my
! thoughts, | may make statement"
