On Blainc's Endeayor to Vndicate His
FAMILY in the Case.

WASHlNCToN, March THE statement
made by secretary Blaine in regard to his
IONS unfortunate marriage, and in de
Tense of Ii, wife against the allegations of
the Judge in the recent divorce suit, is the
subject of general comment in political
and social circles The effect Of the statc-
ment has greatly modified the opinions
which prevailed here in regard to this case.
Tho publication OF the fac,9 is considered
"a defense against .hc a,pcraions Of the
Judge The politicians, hooking at some fea-
lures Of the controversy, particularly the
very sharp and frank letter of Blaine to
Father pucey, when the affair first came
to his knowledge, Hre inclined to think il
viii ahhG% some Of the "rdOr of the Catho-
Tic Clergy in their friendship for him. But
the general feeling among them is that
Blaine, having cast aside presidential as
pirationS, felt that the time had come
when, as private citiHen, he could vim
dictate his household.
