The New Mulliean Letters.

Harper's Weekly, republican :
The publication of the last series of
Mulligan letters com plete the ma
tional humiliation of the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Blaine. Had the letter
written by him to Mr.. Fisher on
the 10th of April, 1876, inclosing a
letter which he asked Mr.. Fisher to
copy and return to him as his own
voluntary act, been made public be-
fore the republican convention, it
is impossible that Mr.. Blaine could
have been nominated, unless the
republican party has really fallen
as low as its democratic opponents
assert. 1t is now plain enough why
Mr.. Blaine was so alarmed when he
heard during the investigation that
Mr.. Mulligan had arrived in Wash
ington with the letters he supposed
to have been destroyed, and why
the passiOnately excited scene
with Mr. Mulligan followed. Mr.
Blaine supposed that the letter pro
posing that Mr.. Fisher should tell
Il lflSCuOOt ~ JiOOCtI -iAi' DldllIC,
himself was among them, and he
knew that the publication of that
letter would necessarily be fatal to
his hopes of the presidential nomi-
nation. The letters previously
published seemed to US sufficiently
to show the unftness of Mr. Blaine
for the highest official trust in the
government. But no honest man
can escape the plain conclusion of
those now made public. They con
vict Mr.. Blaine beyond question of
taking "44,OOO,OOO of people into
his confidence and deliberately
telling them a series of falsehoods.
They leave him exposed as trading
upon his official position as speaker
for his own gain. They complete
the most amazing and painful dis
closure that was ever made of a can
didate for the presidency of the
United States.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1884-10-23
How Does the Country standg

st. Louis Republican: Garfield's 8
plurality in the popular vote over
Hanco in 1880 was 9,464 only, out
of an aggregate vote of 9,219, 1000
or about One-tenth of per cent. In
1878 Tilden's majority of the popu-
lar vote over Hayes was 252.000-
and this, the New York Tribune
says, was ''the first time the demo-
cratic vote has been polled for six
teen years."
No republican candidate for pres
ident has ever received a majority
of the popular vote. This is a re
markable fact, and it is worth re-
membering. Garfield's excess of
9,464 over Hancock was not a ma
jority; it was only plurality. If
Weaver's (greenback) vote, 308, ,575
be added to Hancock's 4,444, ,952
we have 4,753, ,527-which is 299,1II
greater than Garfield's vote, 4,454,-
4l6. So that, in 1880 although the
republicans had for their candidate
the most popular and available man
they could have presented, there
was a popular majority of nearly
100000 against them.
Is Blaine as strong as Garfield?
That is the question. Garfield had
the active support of all the leaders
of his party, including Conkling and
Cameron, who are now silent-and
Schurz, Bristow, ex-Attorney- -Gener-
al Speed, George VIM. Curtis, Hen
ry Ward Beecher, Charles Francis
Adams, jr., the president of the
leading New England colleges and
many other prominent representa-
tives of public opinion in the repub-
lican party, who are now actively
at work on the other side. Gar
field received the full vote of his
party. There was not a shred of
organized opposition to him in the
republican camp; every republican
voter who went to the polls voted
for him, and yet he was elected on
ly by the skin of his teeth. He
lost California, Nevada, New Jersey
and West Virginia-fOur states now
absurdly claimed for Blaine; he car
ried Connecticut only by a majority
of 1856; he carried New York, with
the aid of John Kelly's detection,
only by 2I,O33 on a popular vote of
1,OS9, 900; and although chosen by
small majority of the electoral
votes, there was a majority of near
ly 100000 popular votes against
him. Does any one believe that
Blaine is stronger than Garfield?
Can he carry New York where ac-
tive and formidable organizations
inside his own party are against
him, and where he is confronted by
an opponent, who two years ago car
ried the state by 10000 majority
over the late Secretary Folger? Can
he carry Connecticut in spite of the
open and active opposition of Yale
College? If not, then the question
is settled without going further. If
he cannot carry these two states he
is as good as beaten, even although
he should carry Ohio and Indiana,
too; for Garfield carried Indiana and
Ohio; and yet, loss of the AZ cleo
toral votes of New York and Con-
necticut would have beaten him
and made Hancock president.
