FALSE REPORTS ABOUT MR.. BIAIyFs HEAITH

FALSE REPORTS ABOUT Mr.. BLAINFS HEALTH
Tho recent authoritative denial by Emmons Blaine
OF the stories about hts fathers health do not seem
70 prevent malicious manufacture of further Idle
stories to that effect These tales appear TO be tho
work Of bureau, founded for the purpose OF making
the public believe that Mr. Blaine is on the verge OF
earthly dissolution The object can readily be In
ferred In view of the rising tide of popular favor that
is demanding his nomination for President by the Re
publican party I'm spite Of his letter Of withdrawal
In hfs statement to The Tribune week ago, En-:
mons Blaine cited letter Just received from his
father as the best proof that he was In good health
He had received letters from his mother and sisters
which gave confirmation to this information Letters
we're received here yesterday from Mr. Blaine, which
told of his continued good health of the pleasant time
he was having, Of bis intention soon to start north
ward in Europe and of the antciPations Of pleasure
with which he looked forward to the time when he
can press his foot American soil once more. There
are SO many letters TO this effect not only from Mr.
blaine himself but from the members Of his family
party and from friends who run across him IN
EUROPE that II as though the malicious spread
ing 81 reports TO the contrary would soon get a
ouIetus There is absolutely foundation for them
