Fraudulent Documents.

From the New York Sun DEM.
There are plenty of good reasons why
James G. Blaine, Of Maine, ought not to
be elected President of the United
States. In Mr.. Blaine's own record
there is an abundance Of campaign am
munltion which may properly and legiti-
mately be used against him now.
We observe, however, that some of Mr..
Cleveland's friends are not content to
keep to the truth in their operations
against the Republican candidate.
Somewhere east of the sun and west of
the moon there is bureau or syndicate
OF liars engaged in supplying campaign
literature to newspapers which are un-
equal to the task Of original
investigation. We do not know
where this mandatory of fraud
ulent charges is situated or by
whom 1t is managed. We sphak Of its
INSCRIPTIONS performances merely be-
cause they are misleading some of our
esteemed contemporaries who would
not knowingly wrong a political oppo-
nent by circulating old and refuted false
hoods.
One OF the exploded charges against
Mr.. Blaine that Is now being sent out in
manifold to ignorant or subservient or
gans Of Mr.. Cleveland is the story about
his suppressing some of the Mulligan
letters and substituting others when he
read the contents of the batch TO the
House of Representatives.
Another is the Harrisburg yarn about
Bill Kemble's paying to Blaine in check
the sum Of $500 for making certain
ruling as Speaker of the House. This
story, which was offered months ago to
The Sun, was unsupported by anything
approaching the nature of evi-
dence. AS printed In The Har-
risburg Patriot some time In June,
1t took the form OF an alleged interview
with Mr.. Charles ii. Bergner of that
town. Mr.. Bergner Immediately repu-
dated the Interview, declaring that the
publication was zone of the most infa-
nous falsehoods that ever was printed"
The celebrated discoverer of Addition.
Division and Silence was himself ap-
pealed to. and he characterized the story
as ga id lie, without a single word OF
truth In It," Not shred of the origin
al fabrication survived the process Of in
vestigation; yet the story as first told IL
now reissued through the Boston Post
and other journals which look to the
mysterious headquarters Of the anony-
nous liars for their supply of campaign
material.
This is shameless sort of warfare, no
matter by whom conducted,

The history of Tom Ward, the York

senior that "a man who can form an ac-
curate Judgements Of horse can form an
accurate judgement of anything" And
here, fortunately, there are no misty
traditions which the sun of criticism
ruthlessly dispels, no tombstones at va

deaths, and no entries about one sisters
age, which are subsequently shown to
have reference to another, born after
ward, but chnstened by the same name.
Of early advantages Ward had none.

About thirty years ago a farmer resid-
ing In Springfield township, Ohio, nam
ed Maxwell, visited deserted coal
bank in the neighborhood, attracted
thither by sheer idle curiosity. He
stood at the slope opening for time,
and then started to walk down it, when
at the entrance to this dark and gloomy
place he saw bucket. He picked 1t
up, and soon there came from 1t the
tender and suppressed cries Of an infant.
He, carried it to the light, and then
after removing the wrappings he saw a
sweet little babe looking into his eyes
as IL 1t wanted to say: "Please take
pity on me. / am a poor little outcast
without home. Won't you take me
out and love and take care of mep" Mr..
Maxwell was a young married man,
with large, generous heart, and hav.
ing then no children of his own he took
the little waif home with him and he
and Mrs. Maxwell took care of 1t and
loved it as parents love their own child
dren. The little founding grew to be
a beautiful and accomplished young
lady, and she repaid her foster parents
with an abundance of affection and
tender devotion. Twenty years had
come and gone, when one day young
man called at the house of the Max
wells and declared that the babe found
in the coal-bank was his sister, and that
he had come from pleasant home in
Iowa to see her, and il possible per
suade her to return with him. Theil
mother had died few months ago
and on her deathbed she told how she
had hid the babe in the coal-bank, Of
Mr.. Maxwell finding it, and all about
it, and made a dying request that thu
family should hunt the child up an(
claim her. The Maxwells were wei
pleased with the young man, and h
remained with them several weeks
When he returned to his Western HON
he took his sister with him. He ais
took the promise of one of Mr.. Max
wells daughters that she, too, woult
share his home and fortune ere long
This promise was kept.

New York has got notice of the mil

tunately the Duke of Lueca wanted to
rival the English In the matter of sta
bles and horses, and carried off Ward.
He soon found that this clever under
groom, with his gray eyes, neat dress
and clearly person, was q man on whom
q prince, beset with fiatterers and lntri-
guers, could thoroughly depend. From
groom Ward became valet, and from
valet conndant and keeper of the privy
purse. Then the public finances fell in
to confusion. and by the advice of the
duchess the task Of checking abuse and
restoring credit was intrusted not to
Ward, as the reader might anticipate,
but, by her agency, to the Austrian
Archduke, Ferdinand, governor of Ga
licia, and maternal uncle to the duchess.
However, Wards elevation was not
long delayed. He was created Baron
and made minister of finance. Practi-
cally, it would seem, he became prime
minister, directed important negotia-
tions, and managed the cession of the
Duchy of Lucca to the state Of Tuscany,
The accession of the Duke of Lucca to
the Duchy of Parma and the troubles oe
SAT. - are matters of history, and1
Wards share in these events and his
mediation between Austria, Medina and
Tuscany are all described in his own
correspondence. Ward had managed to
acquire agood knowledge Of French,
Italian and German, and his letters in
his own language-correct, idiomatic.
and forcible-are proof, il proof were
wanting, that eminent success in diplo-
macy and craftsmanship can be attained
without duplicity, evasion, or unneces-
sary concealment. In 1854, after the
death of Charles Duke Of Parma, his
widow thought fit to remove Ward from
his post as minister and to order him to
leave her dominions. The last five
years of Wards life were spent neal
Vienna, where he took to farming, and
as far as we make out, lived in compar
alive independence. The Italians tt
this day talk Of "Signor Tommaso."
