him homo before the party he loved so well
and did so much for had so disguised itself
as TO nominate 80 wicked and corrupt man
for tho hightest Office in the gift OF the
American people as 1 know, and my husband
knew, James G. Blaine to be-"
These soathing words from the widow
Of Senator Morrill, lead the New York
World to tell the following story The
last interview Blaine ever had with Lot
Morrill, was In 1876, when the congress
sional investigation pertaining TO the
Mulligan letters was in progress, and
when Blaine conceived the idea Of getting
into the Senate, and thus escaping prob
able conviction and expulsion. he went
TO Morrill,, who was then In the Senate,
and besought him to resign and aocept
the seoretaryship of the Treasury. Grant
was President and he had agreed to help
Blaine ont. Blaine told Morrill, that Gov.
Connor, then in the executive chair Of
Maine, would appoint General Chamber
| lain to the vacancy made In the Senate.
Mr.. Morrill, consented to resign with
that understanding. Imagine his sur-
prise when Gov. Connor appointed Blaine

| forward Morrill, had no confidence what
ever In Blaine, but believed him TO be an
unsorupulous rascal. But there are other
causes that played their part in putting
Mrs. morrill, In frame of mind suitable
for writing that most damaging letter. a
story Is told to the effect that that an In
oident occurred some years ago In Wash
ington, not of political character, to
which Mrs. Morrill, was an accidental, ,un-
expected and greatly surprised and in
dignsnt witness, and that from that
moment till the present she has had the
most unbounded contempt for Mr.. Blaine.
She evidently knows good deal more
than she has yet told, aud IL she CON
cludes to tell It all there may be some
thing rIvaling the Kentucky story which
| figures in the new celebrated Blaine libel
suit.
| MRS. LOCKWOOD ACCEPTS.
Mira. Belva A. Lockwood, the nominee
Of the Woman's, National Equal Rights
Party, has written letter accepting the
nomination, In the course OF which she
says: al am constrained to accept the
nomination so generously and enthusi-
sstically rendered by the only political
party who really and truly represent the
Interests OF our whole people, north, south,
east and west, because 1 believe that
