so curt and brusque, his yea yea and

those who speak with him for the first
time; but the longer he is known the
more warmly he is esteemed, respected
and admired He does not wear his
heart upon his sleeve for DAVIS to peck

conceals q kindly, generous and chari-

most intimate friends characteristically

Everybody who has ever had any deal

Fisher went After witness testified yester-
day, Mr.. Blaine called upon him and asked
him about some letters which were in his
possession, and wanted witness to give them
up to him, but witness declined to do so.
Witness said Mr.. Blaine almost got down on
his knees and pleaded for the letters, saving
they would ruin him for life; and when wit
ness further declined, Mr.. Blaine asked him
to think of his wife and six children He
besought witness, and almost contemplated
suicide. He offered to get him q consulship
in return for the letters. Witness allowed
Mr.. Blaine to take them under pledge that
he would return them. This was in the
presence Of Mr.. Fisher and Mr.. Atkins.
Witness then retired to his room and Blaine
followed him and wanted to look at the let
tiers again. Witness allowed Mr.. Blaine to
take them, and Mr.. Blaine refused to return
them and still retains them. There were
about eighteen letters"
Mr.. Blaine in his testimony next day adj
mitted taking the letters and that he had
them in his possession. Mr.. Blaine tried to
get these letters on theIvery evening that Mr.
Mulligan arrived in Washington, and before
the latter testified at all. Mr.. Blaine says
himself that Mr.. Mulligan refused to come
to his house on the evening of his arrival.
He went to the Riggs House himself and
found Mr.. Mulligan in the barber shop
Said Mr.. Blaine: James, they report that
you are an enemy of mine" Mr.. Mulligan
declined to talk with Mr.. Blaine until after
he had testified before the committee.

CHAPTER L.
Who is James 3IuIligan?

''We may prove before the campaign is
over that James Mulligan never existed, or if
he did that he stole the letters that were the
private property Of Mr.. James G. Blaine and
therefore is not entitled to any credibility as
a witness,' said Leading Massachusetts,
Republican the other day.
Mr.. James MuDigan is a Boston gentle
man who became famous in 1876 in the
Blaine congressional investigation at Wash
ington. At that time the ''Mulligan letters''
was phrase upon every tongue. Since
then thousands of men who were familiar
with the damaging details of that investiga-
ton have partially or wholly forgotten them.
Tens of thousands OF new voters have come
upon the stage of manhood who know no
thing of the exciting scandalous and almost
tragic events to which they refer.
Certainly more trustworthy witness than
Mr.. James Mulligan never was put upon the
stand in this country. Mr.. Mulligan is a
single gentleman of wealth and good stand
ing in the community. He has resided in one
of the hotels in Boston for the last twenty
five or thirty years. His character is above
reproach and his word has never been Ques-
toned.

CHAPTER VI.
Mr. Blaine Looses his Nomination

Mr. Blaine Looses his Nomination.
From that time to the present Mr.. Blaine
has kept those letters out of sight. He did
pretend to read them few days later in the
House, but Mr.. Mulligan denied that they
were read verbatim, or that all of them were
read. The effect OF the introduction of these
letters was fatal to Mr.. Blaine's Presidential
aspirations. The Republican national con-
vention met in Cincinnati on June the 10 of
that year, and the full force of the damag-
ing disclosures was felt as the delegates were
assembling. An event which happened on
Sunday.June II, gave the case new aspect.
AS Mr.. Blaine was ascending the steps of
DR.. Rankin's Church in Washington, he sat
down upon the steps and said to his wife;
Mamma, my head pains me; am afraid
l am sunstruck. Call carriage, take me
home and send for DR.. Pope.'
The news that he was dangerously i'll was
dangerously i'll was flashed across the cOun-
try and turned the tide of popular sympathy
in his favor. On Tuesday night Mr. Blaine
telegraphed to Eugene Hale that he was en-
tirely convalescent." Mr. Blaine did not
however, recover the ground that he had lost
by the investigation, and it is well known
that Mr.. L B Hayes received the nomina-
ton of that convention. The sunstroke also
served to close the investigation. Later Sen
ator Morrill, Of Maine resigned, Mr.. Blaine
was appointed by the Governor to fill the va
cancy, never took his seat again in the
House, and the subject was never resumed
by the congressional committee, so far as
related to him.

CHAPTER ".
How the NIulIigan Letters Came to the
Surface.

How the Mulligan Letters Came to the
Surface.
The Republican candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1876 were Messrs.
Blaine, Coukling, Morton and Bristow, with
the chances very much in Blaiue's favor.
In order 10 Kill off Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Morton
started "a number OF railroad Investigations
in the Democratic house. Among the reso-
luuons introduced was one by Congressman
TarboN, of Massachusetts, on the 2d day of
MAY of that year, which stated that il had
been alleged that the Union Pacific railroad
hal in 1871 or 1872 purchased a certain mum
Ter of Little Rock n Fort Smith Railway
bonds, paying therefor largely in excess of
their value, and claiming that the tran sactiou
was from corrupt design. sir. Tarbox de-
manded an investigation 10y the judiciary
committee of the House. Mr.. Blaine han
peucd 10 bc absent at the time from the floor
of the House, aud Congressman FRYE, of
Maine, in his behalf, objected to the adop-
ton of the resolution. In this connection il
should be stated that Mr.. Blaine on the cath
of April had made a general denial with par
ucular reference to this ALLEGED paymenf of
So, 600. The resolution was promptly mas
svd, and the investigation was begun. 1t
proceeded without any disclosures until the
SOth of May, when the sub-judiciary commit
tee summoned Warren Fisher, Jr., of Bos-
ton, who had contracted to build the Fort
Smith X Little Rock railway, aud James Null
liCan of Boston. These witnesses were cal
led 70 testify in relation to certain bonds
and stocks alleged to have been sold or Civ
en- 10 Mr.. Blaine. On the first day OF Mr.
Muligau's testimoney he mentioned that he
lad certain letters IN his possession written
10y Mr. Blaine 10 Warren Fisher, Jr. This
led Mr. Blaine, who was apparently shocked
aud startled on thus finding that
The letters were 10 De made public, 10 secure

gan, after receiving them upon his solemn
promise to do so, will be treated in another
chapter.
A subsequent discussion of important
phases of the Mulligan letters will show still
more conclusively that Mr.. Blaine is the man
who best appreciated the damaging dis
closures their presentation and explanation
would make. 1t is an open secret that sew
eral attempts have been made to buy these
letters of Mr.. Mulligan, directly or indirect
ly, the source of which attempts does not re-
quire very vivid Imagination te discover
Mr.. Mulhgan was an unwilling witness at
the investigation. He had no desire or mo-
tive to injure Mr.. Blaine. The facts known
to him came into his possession, while hold
ing position of trust and confidence with
men who appreciated his fidelity, his honesty
and his intelligence.
The more thoroughly the Mulligan letters
are sifted, those which Mr.. Blaine has and
which Mr.. Mulligan still possesses, the more
clearly will it appear that Mr.. Blaine as
speaker of the house of representatives did
not conform to the rules which should gov
ern the conduct of public men, and that
when his acts were brought into the bright
sunlight of publicity he wholly disregarded
what men of all nations consider the highest
of all virtues-the plain, unvarnished truth.

LIS Acnnnintnnco with Nj. Rlnine.

His Acquaintance with Mr.. Blaine.
After Mr.. Blaine had graduated at Wash
ington College, in Pennsylvania, he went to
Kentucky to teach school. While there he
met Miss Stanwood, of Augusta, Me-, whom
lie afterwards married. Her brothers were
prominent business men in Boston.-Mr.
Jacob StanwOod, Of No. 10 North Market
street, and Mr.. Eben c. Stanwood, at No.
1875 State street. Mr.. James Mulligan was
the confidential bookkceper for Mr.. Jacob
Stanwood, having entered his employ in
1851, and in the year before his death, in
1865, he left him and was employed by the
Adams Sugar Refinery Company, which was
controlled by Mr.. Ebcn c. Stanwood, Mr.
Warren Fisher ir., and Mr.. Aquia Adams.
He also became the confidential clerk Of
Warren Fisher, jr. Mr.. Warren Fisher, ST.,
a wealthy retired merchant, who had large
landed estates in Boston, thought so highly
OF Mr.. Muligan that he made him 'one of his
trustees at the time Of his death ana he still
manages the estate at the present day, to-
gether with other trusts of a like nature. AT
ter Mr.. Blaine's marriage his wife's brother,
Mr.. Jacob Stanwood, advanced to him the
money with which to buy an interest i'll the
Ea1.,Jec JoaD7ud newspaper at Augusta, Me-,
Gry' from this time forward Mr.. Blaine and

had scores of interviews in relation to bust
ness and spcculftons. Mr. Blaine frequent
