The World remarks tina. athe dis.
appointed folloBers of Mi. Blaine
have been doing their utmost to
prove that Ex-Governor 81. John,
the prohibition candidate, entered
into negotiations through a friend
Withths Republican National Com.
mittes to sell out his party and his
principles for $4,000 in favor Of
Blaine.
ofcouse Mr.. ST. John denies the
story. But the Republican Ma.
tional Committee certainly makes
out A strong case, and eyoa thA Re-.
publican organs who opposed
Blaine are compelled to admit their
beliefin its truth. Well, if true,
what does it proven That Steve Ri.
kinS and other Of Blaine's managers
we're willing and eager to purchase
81. John aud thus betray the hon.
est Prohibition cause BY lending
themselves to q mean and con.
temptible conspiracy. According
totheir own story, they entered
into negotiations to buy a dishon.
est man who was selected to repre-.
sent a principle 10 which they have
professed allegiance for years. But
The negotiations we're delayed until
after the Ohio election, and the re,
suit in that State made Steve Ell.
kins and his fellows believe that
they could elect Blaine despite St.
John and the Prohibitionists. So
they forfeited their Werd, cheated
ST. John and kept the $4,000 in
their own pockets 10 put up bells
on Blaine's election.
This is the story on their own
showing. OF course they may be
lying about ST. John in their ma.
lignant hatred of the man 10 whom
they attribute their defeat. But
as Mr.. st, John is a lifelong Re.
publican who has been honored By
his party and made Governor Of
his State, he cannot blame people
for believing him capable Of the
conduct charged upon him."
