Another statement made rs that Mr.
Blodgett, by reason ot some alleged
business differences, ha, wayerct, or ls
growing cold In las support Ot Mr.
Clark 1 cannot bcieYe-ln TACT, with
Out asking ham the question, know
that ltIsnOt So .fur have associated With
Mr. Blodgett intimately IN a p0litlca!
Way Tor twenty years past; know the
character ot the man, and | know that
lt is impossible lor hlm 20 be untrue 10
and wayering IN ms support OF men
whom his sense OF justice satisfied INN
% be the proper candidates, and from
ms close ASSOCIATION IN the campaign
with Mr. Clark he early made up ms
mind in favor of him. SO, ! say that
people who make any claim OF that
nature do an outrageous injustice 10
Mr.. Blodgett and ri injury 10 Mr.. Clark,
and whatever | say IN these respects OF
Mr.. Clark would be true of the situation
of Mr.. Maynard.
There was no slate. There never has
been any slate, nor has there ever been
anyone seeking to assume too much
authority. Ii was the almost unani-
nous wish of the people that these men
should have the Offices for which they
had been 80 often named; and II does
not argue well for the peace and har-
mOny OF the Republican party, or for
the character OF the men who form a
part OF il, that they should be accused,
or that il should be insinuated that
they could be capable OF Ingrautude 10
Clark and Maynard.
Again, the StckctcC matterls brought
up as part OF the so-callcd "slatc."
| myself am n living witness To the fact
that very soon after the election was
over our present honorable member of
Congress expressed in my presence his
belief in the gooe policy of appointing
TO some one of the best offices within
the gift OF the party, some representa-
tive man of Holland extraction; and |
have no manner of doubt from the ex-
prcssions of opinion that have since
been made in various ways that Mr..
Steketce is that man; and j believe
that Congressman Belknap has long
been convinced 10 that effect; and if il
is true. as alleged in your article, that
.cna tor Stockbridge has the disposal of
this place, | have no doubt whatever
that Mr.. Stekctoe Will he appointed TO
fill Il. because | have known the senator
too long and have too high degree of
confidence in his good sense and dis
cretion and his sense of justice, 10 feel
