THE RUCKER BLACKBURN FMBRoGLIo is
assuming wider proportions and is now
likely to involve the President, who denies
most positively ever having used the Ian
guage attributed to him by Judge Rucker
in the conversation which has now become
notorous At no time has the President
intimsed that there was treachery toward
him on the part of the New York democrats,
and even if he had harbored such an idea
he would not have said so to an entire
stranger. In the meantime Judge Rucker
has written an open letter to Senator Black
burn in relation to the controversy in which
be reiterales his former statement aud says:
II will say that you are pursuing exactly
the course a coward might be expected to
pursue under like circumstances, and Ger.
tainly it is not the part OF courage 10 &C.

believe Yves true, nor anything that is or
was intended to be personally otiensive, yet

desire meeting with me, can assure you

part"
1t is expected that Senator Blackburn
will answer this letter inside the usual limit
OF three days.
