not at all in question and of whom-but for
this rash marriage have never heard
breath of censure.
Was Pretty Quick Courtship.
After referring briefly to the fact that
young James was not Is years old, and
stating that in August, 1886. the young
man was at home under a tutor fitting
himself for college, Secretary Blaine says
that James G.. Jr. had only known Miss
Nevins eighteen days before he married
her; admits that the young man misrep-
resented his age to the priest, as discovered
by Walker Blaine, who went to New York
to investigate the matter. Mr.. Blaine then
proceeds:
But he did not according to your own mar
rative to my son Walker, conceal from you
the vital fact that he a minor; he did not
conceal from you. but openly avowed, that had
no knowledge whatever of his intention to be
married, and that his special design 10
keep all knowledge of it from me. In this con-
cealment he sought your aud and allotment,
and you held his secret under consideration
from Saturday until Monday-agreeing with
my son not to advise any member of my fam
fly of his rash purpose.
Some Reflections on His Reverence.
You took him to the arch bishop in order that
dispenSation might be secured TO enable Miss
Nevins, who was reared Catholic, to marry
my son, who was born, baptized and reared a
PROTESTANT Ou knew lhat during the long
interval IN which you were making these
preparations ! was within moments reach
by telegraph, and yet you never gave the
slightest intimatiOn to me, the most deeply
interested and responsible party. In defense
of this conduct you alleged to my son Walker
the confidence reposed in You a priest by
my son. The confidence of the confessional is
always respected. But by your use of con-
fidences reposed in you outside the confession
a1-even by those not of the Catholic COM
munion-you perfOrce become accomplice
before the act of any crime or any imprud-
ence to which you may listen.
Arraignment of the Priest.
It is not for me to advise a minister of your
intelligence that your position is absolutely un-
tenable, would be dangerous to- society, and
would not be respected by any court of the
land, You further alleged in justification of
your action that if you had not performed the
ceremony some one else outside your commun-
ion would have done il. This is a common de-
fense Of evil d. .ng and is unworthy Of Q priest
and a man. You might just as well justify
your murder OF a man by chloroform on the
ground that otherwise some one else would
murder him with dagger. As a
father living under the divine institution Of
the family; rs citizen living under the divine
order of society, / protest against your act;
rs q servant of God, TO whose ministry you
are ordained, call God TO witness between
you and me. OF whatever evils resulting
from this deplorable marriage my son may
be the author or the victim, the guilt be on
your head. JAMES e. BLAINE

for>the future of my grandson, to permit
so much calumny to go unanswered.
Refers to the Deadwood Judge.
The last outrage of the kind, embodied
in the decision of the judge at Deadwood,
s. D., assumes an official character which
makes it impossible to remain longer
silent. To remain silent would be to ac-
cept and perpetuate great wrong to my
wife-a greater wrong to my grandson than
ever publication of the truth can inflict
upon him. 1t is necessary in speaking
that should give summary as brief as
possible of the marriage and the incidents
which followed it and led to the separa-
tion. a letter which l addressed to the
Rev Thomas /. Ducy at the time of the
marriage will distinctly state the import
ant facts bearing upon that event.
The Letter to Father Ducey.
Mr. Blaine then gives the text of the
letter to Father Ducey, which is dated
Augusta, Me, Sept 13, 1886. 1t says:

not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven"
