few days ago dispatches, based upon a CO.

alleged connection of Mr.. Blaine with the coal
syndicate now at war with the miners of the

ing property in the valley. said to-day: AS TO

The Standard Coal and Iron Company was
organized by man named Lee, of Newark, not
Norwalk, as has been published. 1t had capt
tai of $4,000, which was subsequently reduced
TO $4,000. 1t issued bonds or some coal lands
on which there were already liens, and the syn
dictate borrowed some money OF Mr.. Blaine,
giving security some of these bonds. The
company went TO pieces more than two years

mines. and ceased business. 1t has not shipped

Mr. Blaine was seated in his rooms with

denly there was n knock at the door, and Mr..
Blaine, who had just risen from seat, stepped
forward to open it, stout. heavy-set man,
with gray whiskers and dark blue eyes, leaning
on pair OF crutches, stood at the threshold. 1t
did not take an instant for the crowd to recog-
nize the veteran figure OF Gen. Grant. Quick as
a flash every man was on his feet.
Mr. Blaine stepped forward in delighted sur
prise, and grasped the Generals hand with
much warmth. Everybody in the room was
silent the two foremost men of their time
stood hand in hand in the center OF the room.
The reception on the part Of both was sincere
and unaffected, and tears seemed to sparkle in
the Generals eyes as he noticed the Difference
which all so gladly paid him. Leaning on his
crutches, the General was led to adjoining
settee and there Mr.. Blaine and he remained
In consultation for nearly an hour little
boy attached TO the National Republican head
quarters, who had come over to see the candi-
date, was sitting at comfortable in the room,
on which rested his elbows, while he gaZed
earnestly at the snectacle before him. Then,
turningsto gentleman whom he knew. he said,
in quiet voice: And that is the man whom
Ward robbed?"
Altogether the scene was one which those who
witnessed IL are never likely to forget Gen.
Grant talked hopefully and earnestly of the
prospects of Republican success. To Mr.. Blaine
he said: They are abusing you they have
abused me, but they Will elect you neverthe
less. For my OWN part, continued the General,
Il do not know of any time when Republican
success was more essential 10 national prosper

The conference between the two great Repub

at the parting, shook both OF Gen. Grants
hands, and assured him that he was more than
delighted with his call. MY first duty after
