We print elsewhere the substance of a new
batch of "MulliRan letters" which appeared
in the daily papers last Monday. These let
tiers, it will be seen. are part OF correspond
ence had with Warren Fisher aud Josiah
Caldwell, principally with reference to the
Little Rock d Fort Smith railroad matter A
portion Of the correspondence relates to the
proposed establishment OF a National bank
in Little Rock but it will hardly be claimed
that there was anything corrupt or dishonest
IN Mr.. Blaine Is proposal to take advantage Of
his knowledge or foresight with regard to
promised business developments il that d.
rectiou
The Independent committee have brought
out this correspondence for what feet they
may be able to produce with it as making
converts TO the belief that Mr. Blaine cor
ruptly used mis- Office as Speaker to further his
personal fortunes IN the Arkansas railroad
matter. Starting with the assumption of the
worst motives on his part interpreting every
doubtful expression against him, disposing of
his assertions in his own defence as false
hoods, and allowing no weight to any circum
stance or testimony in his favor, they make
these letters appear to show nothing but die
honesty, falsehood and cupidity on his part.
It must be remembered, however. that
these letters are a part of strictly private
business correspondence, that We have no as
surance that all of the letters are given, and
that the case is stated to Mr.. Blaine's disad
vantage wherever possible. By placing al
other and and a far more reasonable construc-
tion upon the letters it is easy to make il ap-
pears that Mr.. Blaine was the victim Of War
ren Fisher, that he was deceived by lin and
drawn into disastrous business venture. and
WAS finally obliged TO use every means In his
power to save himself from financial ruin and
his reputation from scandal.
1t looks very much as though the result Of
the Vermont and Maine elections and the ev.
ldent and irresistible drift of popular genti.
ment toward the Republican presidential
ticket had brought Mr.. Blaine's opponents to
climax Of desperation and mahguity. and
that as a last resource they had invaded the
domain of private rights aud brought out
these letters, not because they contain any.
thing new, but because they hope that the
people, instead Of wadiug through such a
mass of correspondence for themselves. will
accept as truth the assertion Of Mr.. Blaipe's
enemies that the letters condemn him. But
fair minded men, We believe, will still hold
with Gov. Robinson Of Massachusetts that
the charges of falsehood are not proved. and
that Mr.. Blaine is entitled to be taken at his
word and the letters read as honest men read
for themselves"
