cling than the letter itself, the full
text Of which we give without al
teriug, amending, orin q single iota
erasing. Let all who think of vo-
ting for Mr.. Blaine read and care
fully ponder it. Iii as follows -
BOSTON, !
April -, 1876. !
Hon. James G.. Blaine, Washing
ton, D. c.:
DEAR SIR-I observe that GER
tain newspapers are making or ra-
ther insinuating the absurd charge
that you own or had owned $780,
900 Of Little Rock and Fort Smith
Railroad Bonds, and that you had
in some way obtained them as a
gratuity. The enterprise of build
ing the Little Rock and Fort Smith
Railroad was undertaken in 1869
by a company of Boston gentle
men, Of whom I was myself one.
The bonds of the road were put up
on the market in THIS city on what
was deemed very advantageous
terms to the purchaser. They were
sold largely through myself. You
became the purchaser Of about $780,
900 of the bonds on precisely the
same terms that every other buyer
received, paying for them in in
stallments, running over a consid-
cradle period, just as others did.
The transaction was perfectly open,
and there was no more secrecy in
regard to it than if you had been
buying -four Or sugar. I am sure
you never owned bond of the
road that you did not pay for at the
market rate. Indeed, I am sure
that no one received bonds on any
other terms. When the road got
into financial difficulties, and loss
fell upon you, you still retained
your bonds, and you held them
clear through the reorganization Of
the company in 1874, exchanging
them for stock and bonds of the
new company. You acquired also
some demands against the new
company by reason of your having
joined with others in raising some
money when the company was in
pressing need. For the recovery Of
the money, proceedings are now
pending in the United States Cir
cult Court in Arkansas, in which
you are openly a party of record.
Concealment of the investment and
everything connected with it would
have been very easy had conceal
ment been desirable; but your &C
ton in the whole matter was as
open and as fair as the day. When
the original enterprise failed, I
know with what severity the pecu-
mary loss fell upon you, and with
what integrity and nerve you met it.
Years having since elapsed, seems
rather hard at this late day to be
compelled to meet a SANDER in a
matter where your conduct was in
the highest degree honorable and
straightforward. You may use this
letter in any way that will be of SER
vice to you. Very sincerely yours,
w. f., JR.
Need it be recorded this alluring
bait failed to catch "My Dear My
Fisher" or in other words he de-
clined to perure his soul to elevate
the white-livered Blaine. What
more can be said? Could more
convincing proof be given Of the
turpitude of it's author And this
is the man absolutely leprous with
guilt and corruption the Republican
party offer to the nation to fill a po-

WILL BLAINE WITHDRAW?

ton In our last Issue, anu gave IL
as our opinion he would neither
withdraw or allow himself to be
withdrawn, simply because he is
Blaine. A man possessing such
cheek, whose consummate vanity,
inordinate, unholy ambition and
reckless daring would not allow
him to stop at anything rather than
see another possess the glittering
prize he has so long coveted, work
ed for, and absolutely sinned for.
Were it any other man than he un-
der the load of obliquy and self
condemnation that now irrevocably
attaches to him, like the shirt of
Nessus or Banquo's ghost that
"will not down." we believe he
would voluntarily seek that retire
ment from public gaze by which
alone he can hope to partially con-
ceal bis mountain Of iniquity. We
believe the Republican candidate,
the "Plumed Knight" as did one
Of old, would in sheer desperation
pull down the pillows of the tenn
pie, though he himself was buried
in the ruins, rather than yield while
he thinks there is the remotest hope
Of gratifying his ambition-his be-,
ing elevated to position from
which he could hurl vengeance on
all who opposed it. We therefore
repeat he is as treacherous and dan
gerous to his friends as he has
proved himself implacable to his
enemies, hence totally unworthy to
be trusted. And by his own words
shall he be condemned. We COM
mented briefly in our last on but
one Of his letters marked "confi
dential," dated April Is, 1876, ad-
dressed to "My Dear Mr.. Fisher"
the tone of which would be sufi-
cient to damn him in the minds of
all honest men of whatever party.
He so breads it being shown he not
only commences it as "coniden-
tial," but in its body enjoins-
"Show this to no one. Burn this let
ter" This alone would be enough
! to prove its baseness. But he goes
farther, and lyingly states to Mr..
Fisher ~ am not certain of your
address," though he had sent him
score Of others to his proper adj
dress. II am afraid to subject it
to any danger in the hands of
CARRIER" hence II send it by ex-
press to care of Parker House"
And simultaneously he telegraphed
Mr.. Fisher to go to the Parker
House on arrival of mail and Hfnd
a letter." No thief or receiver OF
stolen goods could more zealously
attempt to conceal their iniquity.
And we'll he might, as there was an
enclosure in that letter of the most
astounding and criminal character,
so base in conception, which Blaine
attempted to put into practice, as
justly to stigmatize its author as
totally unworthy the association of
all honorable men. The PROPOSE
ton is for Mr.. Fisher, his friend, to
peJure himself for his (Blaine's)
direct benefit. He writes himself
