4 WARNING TO BLAINE.
lie Is Advised TO Call OF Those who Are
HoundIng Mrs. Morrill,.


An Augusta (Me.) special says: Since
Mrs. Lot N. Morrill, gave her first inter-
view 10 representative OF a New York
paper oil sorts OF means have been used to
break the force OF the blow, but each new
attempt to break the strength Of her terri
bic arraignment has only added fuel to the
fire instead OF quenching 1t. The know
ledge that Mrs. Morrill, was in possession
Of documentary evidence most damaging
TO Mr.. Blaine when read in the light OF
subsequent events in which Blaine was an
active participant has been q source OF con-
slant trouble TO Mr.. Blaine and his mana
gers. The Nelo AGE will say on this sub
iect tomorrow morning:
"The effect OF Mrs. Morrilps reply to
the insult offered the memory OF her Ia
mented husband by the Republican State
Committee Of OHIO has been incalculable.
Coming from the source it did, ii has ere
ated the most profound sensation OF the
campaign. This Is apparent from the most
inhuman and dis2raceful means adopted
by Blaine through his henchman, j. l..
stevens, TO counteract its effect. Every
effort has been brought to bear upon Mrs.
Morrill, 10 induce her to retract, but she
hus steadily maintained her position,
and in answer 10 hundreds OF let
tiers received by her, has reiterated
her statement as given 10 the public
through the New York press. Realizing
the impossibility OF eXtorting from Mrs.
Morrill, retraction, and fearing further
statements backed up by proof, they have
succeeded in getting the brother OF the late
Senator Morrill, 10 take most heartless and
outrageous part in the case. Governor A.
L. Morrill, knows full well the truth OF Mrs.
MorrilPs statements, and that she has b,it
expressed the sentiments OF her late hus-
band. Eight years ago, Is can be proved.
that gentleman denounced Blaine as a cor
rupt man and as unspsringly as Mrs, Nor
rll has done. Did Senator Morrill, then
take the Governor to task for this? III Mrs.
Morrill, has not stated the truth why did the
Governor publicly declare tina. II Blaine
was nominated ut Cincinnati in 1915 he
would not support him, but would stump
the State against him? Was not Senator
Morrill, IN full accord with the sentiments
OF bis broiherf But Mrs. Morrill, has NOT
misrepresented the sentiments OF her late
husband. She has told the truth, but NOT
the whole truth, or half OF it, az her perse.
eutors IN this city we'll know. Hence their
rage and the dastsrdly treatment 10 which
Mrs. Morrill, and her family are subjected.
They know that Mrs. Morrill, has In her
control certain letters Of Mr.. Blaine, writ
ten TO her husband, which II given 10
the public would fully vlndieats her
every statement. They demand that the,e
letters shall be surrendered BY Mrs. Nor
nil and placed In the custody Of some
friend OF Mr.. Blaine, or some one whose
aflliauons are with the Republican party.
II Is to obtain possession Of these interest
ing documents that the Blsincites are max.
ing their attacks on the widow OF the dead
senator. and resort to the most detestable
means Of persecution, intimidation, and
terrorism. These letters 10 question Mrs.
Morrill, regards ~ sacred, and she does not
