OBJECTS TO A TAINTED TITLE.
Boston Special The Advertiser to-day
prints the following from Augusta, Me-: A
distinguished New York Democrat writes
| to Mr. Blaine, with whom he has
been on terms of friendship for
many years, complaining of the
! course of the Republican committee and ex-
! pressing the hope that Blaine himsels is
| making no attempt to influence the count of
! votes at New York. Mr.. Blaine replied by
asking in what possible manner he could in
fuence it, and adds:
In the whole controversy I have had no desire
except for fair count and an honest declaration
| Of the result. have seen no other request made
! by the Republican national committee nor by
| any Ct It's members. They acted on their judy
ment at every step, and need not advice from me.
| do not wish any political supporters of mine
| I'm New York to take the slightest advantage
| Of the mere technical defects in the returns
| where the honest intention Of the voter is ex..
| pressed. I would tar rather lose than gain by
