The last interview Blaine ever had with Lot
Morrill, was 1875. when the congressional in
yestigation pertaining to the Mulligan letters
was in progress, and when Blaine conceived
the idea of getting into the senate, and thus
escaping probable conviction and expulsion.
He went to Morrill,, who was then in the SEN
ate, and besought him to resign and accept
the secretaryship of the treasury. Grant was
President, and had agreed to help Blaine out.
Blaine told Morrill, that Gov. Common, then in
the executive chair of Maine, would appoint
Gen. Chamberlain to the vacancy made in
the senate Mr.. Morrill, consented to resign
with that understanding. Imagine his sur
prise when Gov Conner appointed Blaine
himself to the vacancy. From that day for
ward Morrill, had 40 confidence whatever in
Blaine, but believed him to be an unscrupu-
lous rascal. But there are other causes that
played their part in putting Mrs. Morrill, in a
frame of of mind suitable for writing that
most dangerous letter A story is told to the
effect that an incident occurred some years
ago in Washington, not of political charac-
ter, to which Mrs. Morrill, was an
accidental, unexpected and greatly surprised
and indignant witness, and from that mo-
ment till the present she has had the most
unbounded contempt for Mr.. Blaine. She
evidently knows a good deal more than she
has yet told, and if she concludes to tell it all
there may be something rivalling the Ken
lucky story which figures in the now celebrat-
ed libel suit.
Some weeks ago an Ohio campaign
committee wrote to Senator Morrill, asking
him to come to Ohio and help the Blaine
canvass, adding that he could refute the
charges against him. They did not know
that Morrill, had been dead eighteen months,
and Mrs. Morrill, Indignantly replied as fol-
lows:
To Brown, Chairman, Columbus, Ohio:
l. am surprised and shocked to receive such a
communication. l thought every citizen of this
| country knew my husband was at rest. am in
mourning for him, but, as much as / mourn his
! death, thank my Father in heaven that He call
ed him home before the party he loved so well
and did so much for had disgraced itself as to
| nominate so wicked and corrupt a man for the
! highest Office within the gift of the American
| people, as | know and my husband knew James
| q Blaine to be. If he were alive he wonld not
support Mr.. Blaine any such man, even at the
| bidding of his party.
| CHARLOTTE MORRILL,.
She added in conversation:
''My husband was visited by Mr.. Blaine at
the beginning of the congressional investi-
CATION into the Little Rock railroad bonds.
! Mr.. Blaine, as he did to Mulligan, impor-
tuned my husband with tears and entreaties
to use his influence to save him.

The following story is reported from Cork:
Two policeman entered the house of a publ
can named Mortel, at Kilmallock, in dis
charge of their licensing duty. According
to Mortel's statement they were under the
influence of drink, and went upstairs and
demanded the names of some friends whom
he was entertaining. Seeing that they were
drunk, he asked one of them to leave, and
went out to the door to prefer similar re-
quest to the other, when he alleges that he
was knocked down by the first constable,
whose name is Walsh, who struck him with
his rifle on the head, and rendered him
senseless. On recovering he found that both
men were standing over him, one of them
''prodding" him with his bayonet and the
other striking him with his gun. He received
seventeen wounds, and was only saved by
the intervention of a man named Carroll.
The constabulary version of the story is that
the persons in the house were drunk and
playing cards. and that they Che policemen
were assaulted, and struck Mortel in self
defense. Mortel, who, in addition to a num-
Der of bayonet-wounds, none being Of q seri-
Gus character, sustained a fracture Of the
skull, has sworn an information against the
police. They have also sworn an informa-
tion.-St. James's Gazette.

Scandals about Mr.. Blaine, like chickens
in the thickening gloom of twilight, are COM
ing rapidly home to roost. The Indianapolis
libel suit does not put to fight the clouds of
scandal that are gathering about the Plumed
Knight. Every revelation points to the fact
that no politician so corrup and
INSCRIPTIONS as he has arisen since
thedays of Aaron Burr. The widow
of the late Senator Lot Morrill,, of Maine,
is possessed of facts in regard to Blaine of
the most damaging character. She asserts
that she knows, and her husband knew
James G. Blaine to be wicked and cor
rupt man." Every days development of
Blaine's record shows his undeniable unwor-
thiness. A dispatch from Augusta, Maine,
dated Sept. 9Th hints at a darker personal
scandal than that of the Kentucky story, and
shows, also, the inscriptions rascality of
Blaine as politician.
The true story is that Mrs. Morrill, has not
spoken to Blaine or his wife for several years.

STEVE ELKTNs, whooper up in chief for
Blaine's campaign in 1884, as Star Route
Dorsey was of Garfeld's in 1880, boldly
claims West Virginia as Blaine state. In
regard to this, Major Bickham of the Dayton
Journal says: again it is announced that
Mr.. Elkins is very confident that the cleo
toral vote of West Virginia will be secured
for the Republicans If Mr.. Elkins says so
he is an ass. 1t is rank idiocy to imagine
that the Republicans can get the electoral
vote OF any Southern state.'' This hedging
will not make any votes for Blaine of Maine.

4 NUT FOR sENATOR Ho4R.

A correspondent of the New York Ete'eiNg
Post puts this little conundrum to Senator
Hoaa to bring him to a realizing sense OF
the peculiar kind of morality he advocates in
his defense of Blaine:
Ii Governor Cleveland were to write to Cyrus
W. Field, asking for block of Manhattan Ele
waited Railway stock at considerably less than
market rates, promising that ''he would not be
deadhead in the enterprise" and telling Mr..
Field to remind Messrs. Gould and Sage what
service he had rendered the roads by vetoing the
fye-ccnt-fare BILL what would Senators Hoar and
Hawey and the other apoiogists of the ''tattooed
candidate think of the transaction!

IT is great mistake to say that Blaine has
done no fighting. True, he did not go To
the war where all able bodied men who were
not too young or too old should have been,
still he was engaged in active service as a
member of the Mulligan Guards, temporarily
detached on Gould's body guard. When
leading Jay Gould's skirmish line in the SEN
ate, Senator Edmunds fired this shot of grape
and canister at him:
''Whenever Thurman and have joined hands
against Jay Gould and fellows of that sort, in the
senate, Blaine has invariably started up from
Gould breastworks, musket in hand, to defend
him >

Mr.. BLAINE played off, some people might
say acted the coward. He did not vote, but
loafed at Bar Harbor. Had he voted he
could not have avoided voting for the Prohi-

make that record, though he would have
been more respected if he had. 1t is the
best policy to be frank and honest, but Mr..

formed in New York, the ''New York Gas-Light

Four years ago the Republican cry was
that the business interests OF the country de-
manded the continuance of that party in
power. No one has had the audacity to re-
peat the proposition this year, for the very
good reason that the business interests of the
country have suffered under the three last
years of Republican rule. ''Tnrn the rascals
out, is the war cry heard from one end of
the Country To the other.

A conference of District leaders was held
in Tammany Hall wigwam, New York city,
last Saturday night. The expression of
majority of the leaders was decidedly for
Cleveland, while no violent opposition was
manifested on the part of district leaders.
Mr.. Kelly presided and spoke at length, man
ifesting entire loyalty to the Democratic or
ganization. He said: ''Tammany has al
ways been, is now, and always will be
Democratic organization. 1t always sup
ports its candidates honestly, and if it en-
dorses the Democratic National ticket it will
go to the poles and vote for it,"
committee was appointed to draft resolu-
tons, and prepare an address to the nation,
and their report will be presented to the gen.
eral committee next Friday for their action,
when the position of Tammany Hall will be
publicly defined. There seems to be no
doubt from the tone and spirit of the re-
ports of the District leaders that the resolu-
lions and address of the general committee
will be favorable to Cleveland, and that
Tammany will be solid for the Democratic
National ticket. The New York Star of Sun
