Editor Maloney of the Richord Ga
zette was last week arrested and his Office
| shut up in a SANDER suit brought by Chic
Justice Royce. Bail has been placed a
| $4,000 and is not yet furnished. Thu
Gazette published a charge against judge
Royce this summer so risky that the state
papers didn't dare reprint it, although ;

this suit is the result. The Gazette ha
also abused Smith and other members o
the ring recklessly and other suits ar
threatened against him.
The Messenger can the more hearth,
| and consistently advocate Mr.. Blaine
election for the reason that it has no
made him the subject of detraction o
malevolent criticism during the anti-con
vention canvass, and has thus ayoide
placing itself in position where it woul
be compelled to retract its own words
else repudiate the candidate. We hav
been unable to discover any just ground
for the fierce onslaught upon this EN-
nent statesman. Notwithstanding q
that has been said to Blaine"s detrimen
by his foes, it cannot be denied that he
to-day one of the ablest and most popula
republican statesmen in the country, an
that he has very strong hold upon tn
confidence, respect and admiration of tn
republican party We do not venture tn
prediction thus early that he can be easil
or surely elected: but we hope for th
best, and every republican must come
see that his success is far more deSirabl
than the triumph of the democratic part!
St Albdns MESSENGER.
