Time for Fair sTreatment of Mr.
Blaine

From the Rochester Democrat and Chron-
icle.
In the light of the text of the letter of
Senator Edmunds to William Walter Phelps
and that geatIemans reply to the Senator,
the latter NAV not have made such a grave
mistake after all. He AYERS that he had no
intention of njuring the reputation of the
Senator and that he used the case in hand as
an illustration of tbe injustice of charging
crimnslity upon a legislator who obtains
interests in a corporation after legislative
action in which he had assisted. OF course
il would be wrong. if the antecedant vote
depended upon a subsequent acquiring of
stock on terms more favorable than those
granted to ordinary purchasers; but there is
no pretense of this kind either in the case of
Mr. Edmunds or in that of Mr.. Blaine. The
cases are identical and the valid defence
which Mr.. Edmunds prefers is as valid in the
transaction with which Mr.. Blaine stands
charged. Mr. Edmunds admits precisely
what Mr.. Blaine admits-no more and no
neither gentleman can be consist
entity accused of wrong doing in the premises.
Upon the statement, therefore, by Mr.. Phelps
as to his motives he must be relieved
from any imputation of unfairness. And
with this specific issue disposed of, is it not
about time that the mud singing business
cease all around? 1t is to the exceeding
credit of the friends of Mr.. Blaine that they
have INDUCED very little in this style of po-
litical warfare. That they have been earn
estly opposed to the nomination of Mr.. Arthur
10, indeed, true: but they have treated him
with entire respect, have refrained from print
ed allusions to his political sntecedents. and,
in no instance, have placed themselves in a
position that would embarrass them in their
support of him should be, as now seems i'm
possible. carry with him q majority of the
National delegates. The friends of Mr..
Blaine have also accorded fair treatment to
the other prominent republicans who have
been mentioned in connection with the nom
ination. This is true of their treatment of
Mr.. Edmunds, of Mr.. Lincoln, of General
Logan, of General Sherman and all the rest.
II has been reserved for the opponents of
Mr.. Blaine to load him with SANDER and to
follow him with abuse. Were their proof of
wrongdo ing upon his part there might
be some justification for this course. In the
absence of such proof, it simply resolves it.
self into detraction, but places those who em-
ploy such a weapon in a very unfortunate
attitude in case of his nomination.

Blaine already has over $50 votes. and no

THE GAME TODAY.
The Shreveport base ball club TODAY
defeated the Dallas club by score Of
is to 4. The game up to the sixth in
ming was one of the prettiest ever
played In the state, the score standing
3 to 3. In the sixth inning the
Shreveports got on TO Manstield's de.
livery and from that on hit him hard.
Had Crawford, the legitimate pitcher
of the Dallas club, not broken faith and
violated all league rules by being in
1luenced by Manager Fowle of the
Fort Worth club TO jump his obliga.
tons to play with the Dallas club after
pledging himself ia writing To do so,
the result would have been n victory
for Dallas. Manager Fowle of the
Fort Worth club and Mr.. Crawford
have both been reported to the State
League association by the State
League secretary, J. c. McNeaIus,
and steps will be taken to
have them all black listed and the
Fort Worth club expelled from the
association on account of the under
mining conduct of Fowle. Crawford e
letters are all preserved and will be
shown up at the proper time, as will
also the trickery of Fowle.
The Dallas club has determined to
play no more games with the Fort
Worth club while Fowle Is manager or
Crawford plays with them. Neither
will they play a game with any state
league club that plays with Fort Worth
or against Crawford. The Dallas club
will see the state league broken up be-
fore it will submit TO seeing IL run
on such principles as Manager Fowle
has been guilty of inaugurating.
The Shreveport club is decidenly the
best that Dallas has played against
since last season. The second game
will be played tomorrow, when Will
