By WILLI AITI II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, me. Monday Evening, August 4m 1884. EVENING EDITION, STRONG CONFIRMATION OF THE MULLIGAN LETTERS. Probably no man has ever occu pied the Speaker's chair of the U. S. House of Representatives who was fairly comparable to James G. Blaine in corruption. Keif er was mean ' and unmanly but he was a saint, we .may suppose, compared with the "tattooed man" from Maine. We have not the slightest doubt as -to the: truth of the charges made as to Blaine's complicity with the Lit tle Rock and Fort Smith Railroad and that the letters that he obtained .and refused to deliver to Mulligan are suracicnt to. snow that be was bribed and received a large sum to use his po were as Speaker in behalf of the scheme. The evidence was deemed sufficientat the time to lead such pronounced Republican papers as the New York Tribune to con- demn him as corrupt, r It is true the tTribiine now supports hini but the j very man who does it is the man who wrotor the condemnatory; articles. -Here is what the Tribune said about Blaine and it no doubt spoke the truth : " "The startling exposure of Speaker Blaine's venality in connection with the Union Pacific road, Eastern Division, en v tirely destroys, of course, whatever credit some people may have given to his evasive ie may nave given io nis evasive i the Oakes Ames bribery, and puts case of .the Credit biUer-uponr I denial of the whole -a different basis. Now it is shown that Speaker Blaine never destroyed , ' nia goca reputation, lie had taken bribes - -m another case." Nothing can be plainer than this. It shows how the Tri bune regarded the evidenee against 'the Plumed Knight." But let ns again draw upon me inowne ior eviaence in f behalf of the Republican nominee for - Hhe Presidency. It said: f We have shown Mr. James G. Blaine ; (since the Speaker of. the House and the monitor of Charles Sumner on fidelity to Drincinlel as the Oakcs Amo nf the "Parifl : railway.

But he never- thelesa gave him bonds far below I ere t-.s-.v'. r Bum :.fcuf fvf ;L the sale Blaine realized quite $ 40poo or more. o : : W, : ; f i ; The ; Mulligan letters are not the I only evidenee to show Blaine's guilty I connection with Caldwell, who Was the man who got up the Fort Smith - - . fau , , scheme. A gentleman or inemgneBi t MmrAnt.,rin Boatbrl: has borne : testf mony that is important. The Post I says of him: He is a resident of Boston, ; known to thousands ot the ciuzens of Uus city .as ai man nf bonestv and integrity, and m l whose word imphcit confidence may be T&?2& Wilt UVt TUW3 iui uioiut W.ell, what is . the sum of his evi dence? Blaine What does he knowf of and Caldwell? The. .latter, told his story in the presence of sev eral gentlemen; Caldwell and his friends were dinirier -toeether. The Boston gentleman says: 'On one occasion I said to Mr. Caldwell :' 1 . - 'Where do you come from now, Josiah? he was always known ramiiially byinis first name. He said: 1 came from Wash- Ington.' I said: if thought you were in Arkansas, building a railroad. H IT he exclaimed, do you suppose a man can build a railroad without going to.Washing- ton? And he then proceeded to explain the process, which has been so painfully known to the public since that of build ing a railroad without money. That is to say, he showed how. with a very small sub scription, of which- only 10 per cent. Was paid in, a company could make a pretense of starting, and after little bits of odds and ends were built, could get a certificate', on the strength, of which Congress would issue its fcland - grant. The land grant put the company on its legs, because on the faith of it the bonds could be sold, and with the proceeds of the bonds the road could be built Caldwell -could do nothing without friends in Washington. He must have strong backing of course among I Congressmen, 4nl he had it. pie said ; he had to! "grease the ways." - i 1 i He found a friend in the Speaker. This was Blain. He must riselhis influence; in behalf of the railroad scheme, and Caldwell and his associ ates must reward him for his aSbose of power and privilege and his foul abasement of himself and his high office, The following shows the way it was done: "It was very imnortant to have favorable ruling, and Blaine bad made them, and equally important to choke off person who wanted to speak against the road, and Blaine had done everything they wanted. They. didn't wish to compromise Blaine by giving mm money, and would not do it; but Ulaine had said he had friends among cap italists m Hew York and Maine and else- where who would take the bonds at a fair figure, and they had given him a very large amount to be sold. Uala well didn t mention the amount but he did mention that td se cure Sir. Blaine's influence and to give Mm a suitable reward, they had put the pricet him far below that ' which any broker Jiad known. Now this is Caldwell's own account of the transaction before the Mulligan letters ever saw the light. Caldwell could easily deceive the Judiciary Committee and the public by tel egraphing that j " I never gave Blaine any Fort t Smith Rrailroad bonds." Of course not. He On ly let "him have bonds at a price far belowj that Which any , , , , , : - broker had known," The Boston gen - tlemen says fce jdioes not reraemer as to how much Blaine made by this brokerage transaction but "it was over $40,000." j He says when the Mulligan! letters came out they "cor responded to a dot-with what Cald-; well had said." - He says the, real questions Were never asked Caldwell, hence his cablegram. Blaine made his money as a broker, "-- sw.. , e The year 1884, t being a Prfe n.'ol nnmr,nin wio. nff!l n:l J i ril I - . . r G r : unhealthy excitement, was .not the i i 't- i "UD kua" wu,Vi! ! for Industrial and Mechanical and I tlt :-i v 1 sil I r i . . f i I Tho nnt nnfr hnnr ia f ahaaiim rv--HwW.

CURRENT COMMENT. - : What Mr. Blaine as Presi dent would be capable of, with nino clear months before him to work Out his 'brilliant" notions, we fortunate ly know. He was Secretary of State for. nine months, and virtual Presi dent for a part of that period. When poorUeneral Uarneld was shot Mr. Secretary Blaine, if he had been a loyal and not a reckless and very un scrupulous man, would have taken care to do nothing upon his own re sponsibility which was not absolute ly necessary. But instead of that ho immediately and secretly went to work at his famous and malodorous Peruvian policy, giving private night audiences to bhepperd, conferring about that infamous job the "Peru vian Company," preparing to insult Chile and to establish a protectorate over Peru. He secretly picked a quarrel with Mexico, indulging in insulting threats to that friendly lie- public. He assumed a : ridiculously and needlessly offensive attitude to ward England on the Panama Canal question. He made haste to stuff i-ne puoiic omces wiia nis personal , adherents. In short he intrigued ; andBChemed and plotted at such a the public offices with his personal 1 rate that it wa8 uck Mr Arthur i A-iarn:aoai ,:m rn.m u q. r A partment, and thus brought on the I discovery of the Blaine plots.
