RLAINE,S oFFER TO SCHuRz-

The Republican press, which has of late
been seeking to belittle Carl Schurz, is in
vited to the following:
On the first day of July one of Blaine man
ayers wrote letter to Mr.. Schurz which letter
Mr.. Schurz still has in his possession) to the
following effect: That he had Just seen Mr..
Blaine, who expressed his earnest and sin
cere regrets that Mr.. Schurz had declared his
intention Of opposing him. That Mr.. Blaine
attached great importance to Mr.. Schurz' sat
Kindergarten, indeed, than to that of any
other person. That Mr.. Blaine would gladly
give Mr.. Schurz any desired explanation as
to his policy in case heshould be elected, and
hoped that this would prove satisfactory to
him. That Mr.. Schurz was earnestly re-
auested not to assume decisive attitude be-
fore he had had an interview with the writer
of the letter. which would take place in few
days This meeting never took place, for
MIR. Schurz replied at once that he would
enter into no negotiations of any kind what
ever but would. on the contrary, adhere to
his indicated policy aud oppose Blaine.

NOTWITHSTANDING the warm endorsement
of Senator Harrison of the snti-slavery SEN
timents of his grandfather, the President, it
appears that in the tussle of 1910 for the
Presidency Van Buren, represented the
real anti-slavery sentiment of the people and
that old General Harrison was successful be-
cause of his pro-slayery views. This is rather
rough on the grandson because of his recent
attacks on the Democratic party. Senator

unfortunate for Mr.. Blaine, for it would
then appear that he had allowed the use of

AT a meeting last Saturday night at Fair.
field, n. j., Mr.. Gustsve Kobbe, well known
citizen of New York, made the following re-
marks. In speaking of the famous Mulligan
letters he gave a complete analysis of the
Fisher Caldwell affairs and Mr.. Blaine's
scandalous use of his public Office to further
his private business.
ASKING FISHER TO PERJURE HIMSELF.
81 am somewhat familiar with the let
ters," said Mr.. Kobbe. II am acquainted
with Mr.. Fisher, and three winters ago he
showed me at his house, in Boston. the most
important of these letters, lately published.
| remembered particularly that which con-
tanned the draft of the statement that Mr..
Blaine wished Mr.. Fisher to sign and which
was to be used by Mr.. Blaine to shield him.
self against an investigation into the
amount OF his railroad transactions, which
was then impending. Mr.. Fisher saw Mr..
Blaine's dodge. That letter is false he
said. Mr.. Blaine wanted me to sign it;
then he would proceed to read it to the COM
mittee. OF course, l would be supGnsed,
and l would have to perjure myself in sub
Stimulating it. 1t was an indirect request
for me to periure myself"
Mr.. Kobbe then, with great detail, took up
the various Mulligsn letters, and described
Mr.. Blaine's repeated attempts to have
Fisher, at any moral cost, swear him out of
his Blaine's) dilemma.
