British Empire expoused the cause and

Disappointment came for the Irish Ma
tionallats, and with 1t temporary til.
umph for those Ulster men who had
threatened rebellion in the event Of the
passage Of Mr.. Gladstoae's bill. 1t might
lave been thought that the result Of the
vote In the House Of Commons would
have been received by the threatening
element with calm satisfaction, and by the
thoughtless Of the Nationalists with tur
bulent manifestations Of discomfort.
The Nationalist have borne Themselves
peacefully under defeat. II Is the men
who threatened revolt II the bill passed
who have celebrated their victory by .

lists eau give Of themselves, the world will

Mr.. Elkius is quoted Is saying that the
Democracy will probably nominate Mr.
Blaine in 1883. Certainly the laundering
Of the Democracy tends in that direction
From the day Of Mr. Blsine's marrow
.,caps from the Presidency till now Dem
ocrstic politicians and newspapers have
ererted themse!yes TO keep Mr. Blaine in
iull view as a national Issue. They have
quoted him, with or without bis consent
on every matter Of general interest al
home and abroad-on the taria, the
fisheries question, Mtic exploration the
labor conflict, the Anarchists, tho China
men, the bird-slaughter, the Potato-bug
and the rinderpess. They have not cared
to know, nor assumed that tho country
cared to know, what the President oithe
United States thought. 1t was always
"Nlr. Blaine on the question Of the hour"
And then they have abused him, oh,
30 penerously-abused him for what he
said and for what he did not say, for what
he thought and Tor what they thought he
ought to think. They have been able to
see him in every Republican move in
Congress and out oIit. They have jumped
on him for what he put in bis book and
for what he did not put in, and they have
thrown bricks at him Tor having the
arrogant presumption to write book
atall.
OF course VIC cannot tell at this distance
lust what is going to happen; but 1t is
very plain that "our friends the enemy"
arc bound to keep Mr.. Blaine at the
front, and perhaps they will nominate
him. In that event Grover Cleveland

OF course the 100000 Of people re-
fer1ed to had not tried the case, knew
nothing about II except through rnesgFe
newspaper reports, and had rendered no
verdict at all. What tho learned counsel
meant was that the sympathy Of the Conn'
try was with Mrs. Garfield, right or wrong,
because she was the vile Of beloved
President who was sssOssinated. This
burst Of bathos does violence to the sense
Of justice OF the American people and was
an insult to tho jury.
1.-THE unknown old woman had good
claim for damages her rights could not be
at all affected by the fact that Mrs. Gar
fields husband was foully murdered while
he was President. Garfield himself would

as the statement of men who paid the
money can go to prove the assertion .
/ have heard that one Of the members
Of the house WAS talking about having
paid money to the railroad company
for reporting the bill. Ed. Bultor,
member of the house, came into my
Office one day, and after some casual
conversation requested. or rather init

knew it, for the persons who had taken
that money had gone back on him on all
occasions. Recently he repeated to me
in detail this transaction. / didn't ask
him from what source this money came,
beoause.I had no doubt of it In my own
