THERE are men who will believe that
MIR. BLAINE was married both in Ken
lucky and Pennsylvania, but there is
no honest man that can believe that
MIR. BLAlNE's kentucky marriage, ne
cordng TO his own sworn statement,
was legal or binding. There are also
men who do not believe that Mn.
BLAINE was over legally married at all,
and those entertaining the latter view
of the case seem to outnumber the
others. 1t is strange that if Mn. BLAINE
was married ut any time he cannot Offer
some other evidence than his own sworn

claims to have been legally married that
cannot produce evidence of the fact out
