story comes from Washington "a a sequel Of tho
Blaine Edmunls affair II Is said that Senator Ed
munds since his return to Washington has called in
a mutual friend, with whom be has talked the
affair. and through whom be has sent message to
Mr. Blaine indicating his wish to become reconciled.
1t related that Mr. Edmunds in his interview with
his friend said. among other things: 81 am not in
clIned at my age to hold malice toward any
/ have my family to think of and the approaching
end of my life and do not want to be involved in
controversy or bitterness with any man. You may
say as much to Mr.. Blaine from me-" In the dis
cussion Of the affair at General Arthurs house which
ensued, Mr. Edmunds Is said to have protested that
tho letter which was published in Boston tho
Saturday previous WAS never written by him with
any intention OF giving offence Of imputing to
Mr.. Blame any such character the newspapers had
made it appear. The general construction put upon
the letter that Mr.. Edmunds believed Mr.. Blaine
a dishonest and dishonorable man. In response 10
this intmaton the Senator replied in emphatic Ian
guage: 81 ut any time said or telicYed that
Mr.. Blaine intentionally guilty of dishonorabls
act dshonOrable deed" The quotation here Of
this language Of Senator Edmunds has given rise to
the belief that IL the report is accurate aton

say that such statement from Mr. Edmnnds, made
openly and broadly the letter which gave offence
to Mr.. Blaine. would result in Mr. Blaine being tho
first to mako advances for reconciliation
