HOar to SchurZ.
The MASTERY REPLY OF THE MAssACHU
SETS SENATOR.

Senator George +. Hoar's letter to a young
friend, first published in the Worcester Spy,
has already been mentioned in the columns of
the Journal. The first part of it was devoted
to most effective and complete demolition
of the charges of Schurz in connection with
the Mulligan letters, the concluding portion
is as follows
Mr. Schurz further SAYS that the election
of MIR. Blaine will be a declaration by the
American people that honesty will be no
longer one of the requirements of govern
ment. | think Mr.. Schurz is entirely mis-.
taken here. also. 1t will be declaration on
the part of the American people that they do
not agree with him in his estimate of Mr.
Blaine. 1t will be declaration that they do
not find in Mr. Blaine's conduct and letters
what Mr.. Schurz thinks he finds there 1t
will be a declaration that they agree with DR..
Clarke when he paid Mr.. Blaine his glowing
tribute of admiration and honor when all
these facts were fresh and familiar Ii will
be declaration that they agree with Mr..
Curtis, who declared that Mr.. Blaine's vindi-
cation of the principal charge against him was
triumphant. 1t will be a declaration that
they agree with Mr. Blaine's neighbors of his
own district and of his own State with the
representatives of a vast majority of the
republicans of the country, who have three
times, since all these charges were made.
declared for him as their candidate for the
Presidency. 1t will be a declaration that
they agree with the Governor and the legis-
lature of Maine when they twice in succession
made him Senator. Ii will be declaration
that they agree with Garfield when he made
him Secretary of State, and with the almost
half democratic Senate when they, without
an instant's hesitation, confirmed him for that
high office.
Mr. Schurz says 1.-The friends Of Mr.. Blaine
say his offence has been condoned" They
say no such thing. They say he has been
triumphantly acquitted. They find him not
guilty of these foul and injurious charges
| They say that in this complicated matter
these repeated tokens of public confidence
/ and affection ought to outweigh a million
times the breath of rumor and of Islander, or
even the possibility of an adverse inter
probation of the meaning of single phrase
| He says that our answer is only the cry of
party | think him mistaken in this also
| Your party is but the instrument by which
| freemen execute their will But il differs
! from other instruments in this 1t is an
indispensable instrument. 1t is an instru-
meut made up of men, and, practically, of

what is this story of the DETACHMENT of a
cb;lds grave in Maine In the cemetery at
Augusta has stood for nearly thirty years
Iirtle white stone erected to the memory OF
Mr.. Blaines son, Stanwood Blaine 1t was
a spot consecrated by parental love ana
grief and the little stone bore silent testi-
monv 10 a sacred sorrow-the first vacancy
in a happy and honored Christian home.
Now the story is told of an atrociouS act or
vandalism. That grave has been secretly
visited, the last figure in the record OF the
child's birth has been chiseled away ana
defaced and the date June Is. 1881, has
been made TO read June Is ls5-. II Is
also known that two Photographic negative
nls,es of the defaced stone showing the
altered date were taken after this act OF
vandalism was committed. The negatives
are represented 10 have been made for
Western customers and copies of the
plates are said to have been sent TO demo-
cratic new spaper offices in various States
Now until the foul hoof is actually seen
stirring the mud at the bottom. II Is never
safe to saw in what deep water the demon OF
democratic malevolence lies hidden But
this dissertation of an innocent childs grave
has the aspect of meaner and more desplca-
BILE outrage even than the infamous Morey
letter. Mr. Blaine in order TO defend the
honor of his wife and family from vile
Islander has branded it as an atrocious
and abomiuable lie, and has prompt
" seized the slanderer by the throat
and sued him for libel, Why this invasion
of the cemetery IN Augusta, and the detace-
ment and alteration of the date on the little
marble stone there. if not for the purpose OF
manufacturing evidence to bolster up the in
famous democratic Islander Why have neg
atives of that defaced tombstone been sent
to democratic newspaper offices throughout
the country unless for reproduction, precise
lv as plates of the Morey forgery were scat
tered East and West by order of the demo-
cratic national committee? Is democracy
now to be charged with the viest of the long
series of infamous crimes which have over
whelmed it with reproach in Presidential
years?
Yet all this is done, like the MOrey forg-
ery, in the interest of democracy hypocritic-
ally prating of purity and reform, and rem
dered desperate, now as then, BY predestined
defeat.

The Madigan Circular.

Ex-Gov. Plaisted occupies nearly cou-
pie of columns in the New Age this week
with matter concerning the Madigan cir
cular. First comes an affidavit signed by
Oliver Otis and L. NJ Robbins, editor and
proprietor OF the Rockland Opinion, in
which they state that copies of the Madi-
gan circular were sent into Knox county
in 1875. from the republican State COM
mittee, for distribution. and that they re-
ceived copies from a certain postmaster
of that county, some of which they now
have.
II there are two men IN the State that
are more bitter against the republican
party than Otis and Robbins We do not
know them. a qneer thing in connection
with this statement is that Knox county is
not in the district where Mr.. Madigan was
a candidate for Congress, nor does 1t lie
contiguous to that district Circulars dis
tributed there could not in the least affect
Mr. Madigan. They might as well have
been cast into the sea as far as any injury
to him was concerned. Messrs Otis and
Robbins ought to rise and explain how it
could be that circulars distributed in
Rockland or any other part of Knox
county, could injure Madigan-in another
Congressional district, not near but re-
mote-before their statement can be enti-
tod IN anv cradih ilitv
Another deponent we will notice, Thorn
as F. Murphy. Murphy AYERS that having
worked in the kennebec Journal office as
a printer. he thinks the circular, which he
says he saw, was printed in type RESENT
bling type used in the Kennebec Journal
office. The only reason he has to suppose
the circular was printed at the Kennebec
journal is a iancied resemblance of the
print to the face of type used in the Ken
nebec Journal office. The same kind of
type used for printing circulars in this
office may be found in almost any print
ing Office in the State. There are not many
printers, even of those long employed in
this office, who would dare to depose
on so slender basis for conjecture, that
the Madigan circulars were printed at this
office. Furthermore, the present editor of
the Kennebec journal was also its editor
in 1873 and he has no knowledge or rec
objection or the shadow of a recollection
that the circular was printed at this office.
The books of the firm in which the ac-
counts with the State committee were
kept show nothing whatever to indicate
that such circular was printed at the Ken
nebec Journal office. There are two other
statements in the article of the New Age,
c. b. Morton's, ex-Gov. Plaisted's part
ner. and a former servant at Mr. Blaine's
Morton's story was published some time
ago. and nobody believed it.
Plaisted has labored hard to make out
his case, but has utterly failed. His effort
in the New Age does not show that Mr..
Blaine had anything to do with the writ
ing or printing of the Madigan circular,
Mr.. Blaine was and is the last man in
the country to oppose a political candi-
date on account of his religious opinions
or belief and ex-Gov. Plaisted, for whose
benefit the circular was originated, will
fail to fasten its authorship upon Mr.
Blaine

A New Democratic Infamy.

peace. That was a crime which the patriot
ism of the country has never forgiven. In
1868 it carried New York State by systematic
That was a fragrant outrage upon political
liberty. In 1876 it entered into a conspiracy
to buy up the electoral votes Of three States
That was scandal without precedent in the
political history of the country. and BY the
cipher disclosures it was brought home to the
political managers of the democratic party
and to the household of their candidate for
the Presidency. In 1880, on the eve Of the
election. the infamous Morey letter was
forged and circulated from Maine to Califor-
MIA BY the national democratic committee.
The chairman of that committee is cha rged
with melting the forgery, with guaranteeing
its genuineness. and with attempting to sus-
tain it by employing the original forger to
commit subsequent forgeries and to suborn
witnesses. That was crime, or rather
series of crimes, against pnblic morals. 1t
was one Of the meanest and most contempti-

uses we're eked out by means of bribery, false

him because the Irish people support
him. Ever since Blaine's manly de-
fence of the Irish-American prisoners
on the floors of Congress, | fancy the
English have not regarded him with great
favor. But we can elect him without the

temen that while we would be glad of
their support, we can do very well with
