The Blaine-Fisher Letters.


New 1oEK, September 10TH The
Tribune prints the Blaine-Fisher letters this
morning, and says editorially: Malice has
oyerreached itself in their production, foT
| While they contain no new charge or scrap
OF evidence that tends to sustain any old
| charges, they do contain much that
| is of the greatest value to Blaine.
! For that reason his accusers were
shrewd enough to suppress them hith-
! erto. For the first time the true char
| acter OF the transactions between Blaine
and Fisher are disclosed. The letters EN-
brace that every litter of October Il, 1871.
which Blaine for eight years had been &C
cused of surpressing. As the san showed
! with great clearness, the oft-reiterated
| charges was reduced at last to this one let
Ter which was named in Mulligan's mem
orandun, but which Blaine declared was

New YORK, September 16th-The Tjr6-
| ines Boston special says The Fisher
Blaine letters have been hawked about,
discussed and lobbied for several weeks.
They have been several times on
the eve of publication and as
often withheld as not amounting to
anything but the Maine victory made
1t imperative that something should
be done. The attempt has proved mel
ancholy failure. The comment of intelli-
gent business men runs about as follows :
The letters prove that Blaine was willing
to make any effort and any sacri-
flee to fulfill his business obligations
The story Of his great wealth is necessarily
false. The much quoted phrase in which
Blaine declared that he would not prove
a deadhead in the enterprise, is Yindi-
Gated by the strenuous efforts made to
keep up the financial credit of the COM
pany, and the meanneSs on the part of
Fisher in publishing confidential letters
which do not convict Blaine of any WRONG
act. but which are simple business letters.
1t is stated that Blaines friends have been
approached many times since his nomina-
ton in order to effect some arrangement
by which the letters might be suppressed.
