The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-09-20

Louis Globe-Democrat of the 10th instant
appeared specials from indianapolis,
from which the following is an extract.
"Tho Sentinel is daily charging that
MIR. Blaine does not answer the inter
rogatories filed with its answer to tho
complaint in the libel suit, seeking to
create the impression that IL wau a
speedy settlement of the case. Soma
tor Harrison states that when the inter-
rogatories were filed he offered TO
the counsel for the Sentinel to
enter into bonds for Mr., Blaine's
appearance In court within a
week to answer them in person, if the
gentlemen would agree to try the case
then. No response was made to this
proposition, and the next thing done
was the notice filed yesterday that depo-
sitiOns would be taken in Kentucky
next week. Senator Harrison says he
is satisfied the Sentinel management
does not intend to allow the case TO
come TO trial if II can DO in any way
avoided
Now, the Sentinels answer TO Mr..
Blaine's complaint was filed on the Ith
inst. The interrogatories propounded to
Mr.. Blaine were filed simultaneously
with the answer. On the 4th inst. Sena-
tor Harrison was not in Indianapolis.
lie had not returned from his trip TO
Maine, and did not return until the
evening Of the 9th. Mr.. Harrison could
not therefore have made the proposition
asserted in tho special when tho inter
rOgatOries were filed. Not only that,
but We have Senator Harrison's own
assurance that he has made ut no time
any such statement. To q reporter of
the Sentinel who approached him last
night and handed him for perusal the
special quoted, Senator Harrison said in
these words:
81 had no interview with anybody
about the matter. When | was an
preached by reporters always said that
] was not trying my case in the news
papers. | said nothing of the kind"
His last sentence referred to the clip
ped special which he held in his hand
| We have one or two statements to
make here, the first of which is that nei-
ther Mr.. Harrison nor any other attOr-
ney of Mr. Blaine has over made, di-
roctly or indirectly, TO the Sentinel or
any of its attorneys, the proposition re-
cited, or any other propositions either
offering to give bond to have Mr.. Blaine
come here to testify, nor to in any man
nor accelerate "A trial of tho suit of Mr.
Blaine against the Sentinel.
our second statement is that on Sat,
urday, the 18th inst, the Sentinels
answer and the heterogeneous for Mr.
Blaine having been filed two days, the
Sentinel, by its attorneys, appeared IN
court and moved for q rule compelling
MIR. Blaine to answer its interrogatores
Immediate notice of this motion being
served on plaintiffs attorneys, they ap
peared In court and gave notice Of oh
Jections to the rule being granted
lnts %. 4.
they were not then ready to argue theii
objections, whereupOn the Court ad
journod further proceedings to day
when he should have returned from
visit to Fort Wayne, II city in the north
orn part of Indiana. SO IL must be ad
mitted that the present stay of proceed
ings in the case is entirely due to the oh
iections of Mr.. Blaino's attorneys to TIN
Seutnel's motion.
|, our third statement is that, instead O
seeking to delay II trial of tho case, tn
Sentinel has shown u desire to eXpedit

: position Tor Fastening tho issue ha,
como from the other side is false, ii is

N our fourth statement is that any "A
