infant son, who died in 1854 has
been erased from the headstone over
its grave. I will quote the article as
il appears in the "National Republi-
can" q paper that has been gloating
over the alleged Cleveland scandal.
The Date of Birth Erased from
the Headstone Over the Craze
OfMr. Biaine's Dead Son.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Aug. 1.-THE
Kennebec Journal tomorrow will
say: "Much feeling has bean excited
in this community by an event OF
extraordinary character. In the well
known cemetery Of the Stanwood
family, an infant son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Blame lies buried. The child died
in 1854, and its restingplace is mark
cd by o beautiful memorial OF mar
Bile, erected in 1856, on which the
dates of death and birth were plainly
inscribed in raised letters. About
two weeks ago it was discovered that
the date Of the child's birth had been
carefully chiseled away. 1t was
quickly discovered and an intimate
friend OF the Blaine family placed a
detective on the track OF the per-
petrator, who has not yet been dis
covered, but it is believed clew has
been found, in the fact that directly
after the mutilation of the memorial
o person whose name is known had
copies of the alleged record sent to
newspapers in various parts Of the
act country antagonistic to Blaine.
The motive for the vandalism is scarce
ly apparent. There is great
indignation among all classes OF
people over the act"
Now the question is: 'has an
enemy done this, or a friend?"
The Republican office-holders here
are contributing very stingily to the
campaign fund. 1t is believed they
are utterly without pressure, from
the Executive, and on the other hand
they are very closely watched by the
Civil service detectives. It would
be curious and grotesque epitaph
of the grand old party of moral
ideas. Died from want of SOAP"
but 1T might be true in more senses
than one.

The letters of acceptance of Cleve,
land and Hendricks appear on our
first page. They are in fine contrast
in all respects with the long-winded
dissertations of Blaine, Logan and
Butler. We remember that Col.
Benton charged Stephen A. Douglas
with having injected stump speech
in the belly Of his Kansas Nebraska
bill. This isjust what Blaine, Logan
and Butler have done. An accept
ance of the platform and declaration
of leading principles is all that is
proper in such letters.
