POLITICAL NOTES.

Chicago Times: Every now and then
s-ories are started to the effect that Mr..
Blaine will withdraw. There is not parti-
Gle of truth in them, however, and they are
started only to frighten the Democracy
Omaha Republicans: Allan G. Thurman,
the. old Roman, is about to take a triI
through California. Among his numerous
friends there he will try to forget the non.
entity at the head of the Democratic ticket
and the ingratitude and cowardice of the
Democracy.
ST. Louis Globe Democrat: A contempor-
ary wonders what The Globe Democrat
would do if Frank James and jeff Davi,
were dead. Well. we would find some other
leading Democrats equally worthy of om
attention. We have never yet fshed fof
foo.s in Democratic waters without getting
bite.
Nelu York Tribune: Mr.. Cleveland read
in some school book that the president is an
executive officer. and he put it in his letter
of acceptance. The Democratic papers are
50 struck with the profundity Of the thought
that they are beside themselves with joy
''Hear him talk" they say. "He's no
slouch.n
81. Louis Globe Democrat: A great many
newspapers are publishing column editorials
TO tell what is the matter ,s.h Carl Schu.Z
Why, ";he matter with Carl SchurZ" is Just
this: He has been for twenty-five wears
bear on Gods provi fence and a bull on his
own importance, and boths deals have gone
against him.
Neru York Tribune: The opposition Of the
workingmen to Cleveland is not confined to
New York. About 1000 Milwaukee me
chanics, one-third of whom have hitherto
voted with the Democratic ticket, have
signed an address to their fellow craftsmen,
saying why they will vote for Blaine It is
a strong paper, and will no doubt make
many converts

Will They Apologize to Blaine?

\ paragraph reprinted elsewhere from
the columns of the Tribune shows the
view which theimmediate friends of Mr..
Blaine take of the discovery of tue
Fisher letter of October "a, 1871. They
say that instead of being suppressed by
Blaine, this now celebrated document
has been suppressed for eight years by
Blaine's accusers.
Without discussing that point, we
again call attention TO the fact that the
production by Mnlligan and Fisher of
the letter of O,:t Der "a, 1871, finally ami
fully exonerates Mr. Blaine from the
charge that he withheld part of the con
tents of the package obtained from Mul-
ligan in June, 1876.
Every document in the lot had been
accounted for except this one. The
charge that Mr.. Blaine tampered with
the bundle of papers rested solely on his
failure to read the Fisher letter of Oct.
"A, 1871. 1t was on Mulligau's schedule
Blaine said he could not find it, Why
he failed to find it is now apparent. 1t
was still in the possession OF Mnlligan
and Fisher. 1t never passed into Blaine
hands. He told the truth about it. He
told the truth when he assured the
House that his exhibit covered every
scrap and scrimption" that came from
Mulligan.
Now, we are Interested to see whether
the newspapers which have urged
against Mr. Blaine this special charge of
dishonesty will retract it and apologize.
They have wronged him in this respect,
at least. In this respect. at least. they
owe him and themselves frank and
manly admission Of the error.-N. Y.
