get, OF course, was the Hon. James G.

-spatches from Augusta, setting forth that
there was trouble between Mr.. James G.
Blaine, Jr, and his wife, and that the latter
accused Mr.. Blaine, senior, of treating her
with great GOODNESS. freezing her OUT is the
exact language employed in the despatch.
responsible authority was given for the

d in flutter at news received from private
sources" and then is set forth to the extent
of nearly column, a lot of gossip said to
be afoat in these fashionable circles. Peo-
pie who know the facts say there is no truth
in the story. They say that young Mrs.
Blaine was treated with the utmost consid-
Grafton by her husbands parents and do not
believe that she has ever intimated anything
TO the contrary. They say further that
here is no GOODNESS between young Mr..
Blaine and his wife. The publication
II such a story with no more motive
han to sell the paper is inexcusable.
But in this case there is strong internal evil
dence that the purpose was political. This
evidence is found near the close of the story
In the paragraph which alleges that the
news received here says" that young Mrs.
Blaine alleges that the Blaines disliked her
because she was Catholic. Nobody need
be told what the object Of that is. Every
body will recognize in it a cheap attempt to
affect the Catholic vote of tho country, and
every person of ordinary decency will de-
nounce it as contemplate performance.
All the votes the Democracy will make out
- his kind of stuff viii be votes for the
ublcans.

Mr.. Clevelands great retaliation message
appears to have largely passed out of the
