Mr.. Blaine's statement regarding the
i'll advised marriage of his son and its
unhappy consequences was the first pub
lie utterance of any member of the
Blaine family ON the subject. For sew
eral years now the alleged wrongs and
miseries of Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr.,
have constituted an important feature of
the sensational papers budget of news,
and have generally been served up
in way to throw the entire responsible
ity for them upon the family OF Mr..
Blaine. Mr.. Blaine and his family bore
these unjust accusations in silence,
shrinking, as every cultivated and
sensitive person instinctively must,
from parading, even to defend them-

awe are inclined to think that when Mr..
Edgar E. Rounds calmly reflects on
what the effect of his running as an indie
pendent candidate for alderman must
be be will reconsider his determination
hastily arrived at and withdraw from the
field. He must know that he can by no
possibility secure votes enough to elect
him. The most his candidacy can do is
to draw off votes enough from the Re
publican candidate to defeat choice,
with the possibility that at subsequent
election owing to Republican disgust over
the quarrel a Democrat may be elected.
Such result Mr.. Rounds, we assume,
is too good Republican to desire, and
too bright a man to be led unwittingly
into promoting.

"INGRAHAM THE DELIvERER.'


Our esteemed contemporary, the Argus,
in moment of exaltation yesterday con-
ferred upon the Hon. Darius FL. Ingra-
ham the title of Deliverer, with big D.
and announced that he was coming with
a s'broom in his hand'' to sweep the ssof-
fee holding ring'' from City Hall. 1t is
a somewhat curious and suggestive fact
that in the great speech made by the
''Deliverer'' to his party on Saturday
night this great work of sweeping the
Office holding ring from the City Hall,
which the Argus appears to think he was
specially created for, never found men
ton. The Deliverer thought the deputy
sheriffs whose business it is to seize
liquors should be swept away with a
broom, that the registration board should
be treated in similar fashion, but this
great aggregation of iniquity in the City
Hall dubbed by the Argus the 'sofice
holding ring entirely escaped his atten-
ton. The chief mission of the Deliverer
at that time appeared to be to deliver his
fellow citizens of bibulous propensities
from the inconvenience they were put to
by reason of the activity of the deputy
sheriffs, and his fellow Democrats, of
doubtful voting qualifications, from the
necessity of showing that they had a
right to the suffrage. After these de-
liverances he was going to promote trade
and commerce, establish manufactures,
furnish opportunities for labor to the
working man, provide for the common
defence and promote the general welfare
and do various other things to regener-
ate the city and make it a paradise. But
the great work at the City Hall to be per-
formed with the broom had not occurred
to him. Now that the Argus has called his
attention to it he should Immediately call
his fellow citizens together and announce
that he is ready to undertake the work.
He should appear with his broom
and give practical exhibition of his
skill in welding that instrument of Dem
ocratic reform. To make the exhibition
still more impressive he might organize
broom brigade of the kind that
paraded the streets when MI.
Cleveland was elected, and which is well
remembered for the impressive charac-
ter of its component parts. With the
''Deliverer," broom in hand, at the head
of such procession as that marching
toward the City Hall with the avowed in
tention of sweeping out the office hold
ing ring'' we think our citizens, especial
ly our tax payers, would appreciate the
beauties of Democratic reform at a
glance and rally around the ''Deliverer'
with unanimity that would be very
gratifying to him.
If the parade would be too expensive,
OF for any other reason impracticable,
we would suggest to our esteemed con-
temporary that wood cut of the ''Deliy-
erer'' at the head of the procession might
answer the same purpose.

selves against wicked calumlnies, their
domestic affairs in the columns of the
public press. Undoubtedly this silence
would have continued had not the Judge
of the Dakota court undertaken to give
a judicial sanction to the exaggerated and
sensational stories published about the
matter from time to time in the newspa-
pers. His own examination of the case
had been purely erpdrte, and yet upon the
strength of that, he undertook to pro-
claim to the world as the opinion of a
court which had examined the evil
dence that the chief responsibility for
the unfortunate consequences of the
i'll starred marriage rested upon Mrs.
James G. Blaine, Senior. To this wan
ton, unjust and extra-judicial attack up
on Mrs Blaine Mr.. Blaine was compelled
to reply, inasmuch as silence under the
circumstances would have looked like
an admission that the animadversions of
the court upon Mrs. Blaine's conduct
were justifiable. Mr.. Blaine's statement
in his letter to the public was calm,
temperate exposition of the salient facts
in the case. 1t was clearly shown that
Mrs. Blaine Jr. was chiefly responsible
for the illadvised marriage, by reas-
on of her opportunities and ma
chinations; and that Mr.. Blaine
senior and Mrs. Blaine, though naturally
not pleased with the union, endeavored
to make the best of it, and arranged for
the support of the young couple on a
very liberal scale. The trouble that fol-
lowed which ended in separation was in
no way attributable to Mr.. Blaine senior
or to his wife, but was inherent in the
illadvised character of the marriage and
the incompatibility of the parties to it.
CT course Mr.. Blaine's statement has not
stopped the slanderous tongues. Moth
ing will ever do that while there are
people to listen. But it is very certain
that such evasive statements as that of
Father Ducey and such coarse and angry
ones as that of Mrs. Nevins, will have
little weight with the fair minded public.

loos, the Indian charged with murder
in the first degree for the killing Of

appeared for the defendant and Major
Cole for the state. The Indian culprit
was brought into the court room by
Sheriff DeLorimier and Deputy Sheriff
Easterbrook, and SAT through the argu-
ment with -t0lid indifference.
The defendants motion for a change
Of venue was based upon anidavits Of

Major Cole read the affidavit Of
Sheriff BeLorimier, iu which b., set
forth that he did not take George 10

himself feared violence, but because he
had promised the Indians that he
would do 50. He had heard no threats
of violence and believed that the de-
iendant could get q fair trial All

Major Cole then made q fOrcible argu-
ment against the motion.
Judge Vim, in giving his decision,
stated that il the allegations were
more general; If it were shown That the
newspaper articles were read by every
qualified juror i'm the county he would
have to grant the motion, but until be
was convinced that il was next to inn
possible 10 get jury, he would not
allow the change Of venue. The trial
