Here Is what he testifies "I wish to state, without reservation or qualification, that I never owned a share of tim Dtnii.4n u r it. -ifAi.;i:A. : M nut, owi.a in iuc vfuuiii. juumiici u uj 1111; either by' gift, purchase, or in any way; whatever.

I wish my , testimony to be UKen as esnauaLive. and mi mlMidetl to elude every form or pjuue of ownership in the Credit Mobilier or the . Union Pacific company, both, past and present. " Now read that over again and see precisely to what ' Blaine swears. Mind you, this investigation preceded hy four years the investigation that awaited Blaine iimselfi In 1872 he . swore as you find above. ' Now read the following letter (one of the Mnl- hgan package), dated April 1 3th, - 1872: . .-';, . :;rr. uSU- . "I left with Mr.' Mulliean.' January. 1871. $6,000 in land grant bonds.

Mr. Caldwell declined to take them, and you took them without any negotiation. "iiu me or any auinomy irom me in re gard to the matter.

The worst of the whole matter was" that the bonds were onlv nnrt mine: and I have bad to make goodv tbe others to the . "nginai owner." . ; Kow take the letter and the testi- Tnony together ap) then sayjf a flie is not out." But Blaine . said in his defence of himself as follows as he 18 reported in the Congressional Re cord; 1 ' ' " 1 :, ' ! 'There is mentioned in this letter $6,000 of land grant bonds of the Union Pacific iiailroad, for which I stood only at part owner; they were only ia part mine, .

"The Herald affirms that this exchange of Union Pacific bonds for Little Rock bonds was made on the' 10th of May, 1871; and that the quoted price of Union Pacific Land Grants at the Boston Stock Exchange on that day was not 40 cents on the doHar.but 82; that the bonds were paying 7 per cent, interest, and that the company was not in default. . : ' The Little Rock bonds were, worth at this time only 15 to 30 cents on the dollar. It says further that the $0, 000 Union Pacific bonds in question were; never returned to Mr. Blaine at all, and! that consequently his statement that "they were all sold finally on her account" is false.'" .' It doesTeaHyieem that it isjim possible for ; Blaine to "Set uponjthe square in "any ' tfansactioo." Hp is full of guile and duplicity- and un truth. - He is j very, ingenious and. very tricky. He will do to watch in all that he dees and says. He de nies explicitly and with . great em phasis, that he ever owned in "any. form or phase of ownership" the Union Pacific ; bonds. But he con cealed the facta for four years, and when arraigned himself 'gives' his own account of the matter that must be ; takert cun grano, sulfa. The JTerdldt an Independent Republican paper of the highest character, and of the largest 1 circulation 'of any journal in New England, says in con clusion : l . i " :' ; .: '. A subsequent discussion of important phases of the Mulligan letters will show still more conclusively that Mr. Blaine is tbe man who best appreciated the damaging disclosures (heir 'presentation and ex planar tion would make. It is an open secret that several attempts bate been made t buy these letters of Mr. "Mnfiigan directly , or indirectly., the source of which attempts does not reauire - a very vivid Imagination to discover." . ' BLAINE AS A PROHIBITIONIST. Blaine made a little speech on the night of the. election and tried to break the force of bis dodging the vote on Prohibition. But he . was heart and soul with Dow, the lead er of : the Prohibition iron-clad amendment. Mr. Dow declares that Blaine "has always been a friend of the Maine law and has many times rendered important service to- itf So his- dodging the vote ' will not answer. Robie '.received all of the Prohibition vote on Monday. It was in advance declared that this would give the Republican candidate for GovenioT'.'a" large najorityr?X dis- t -;... j.P-i' ' '"' patch before the; election from! Maine to the Philadelphia v Times' sia this was understood. It said: "; . I t! f,J3fe agreed to throw the Republican vote at solidly at possible for the Prohibition amend ment to the - Constitution ' in return for the Prohibition vote given to the Republican State ticket. This Prohibition amendment is a cast iron affair, of the kind which has agitated Kansas and Iowa. r Mr.' Blaine himself has expressed ins purpose to vote for it.i The average of Republicans have not calculated the effect of this and many or ihe jDemocrats have overlooked it. , Mr. Blaine himself, however,', has never? lost sight of it from the time the bargain was made. He has figured its effect in calcu lating the majoritjr-which Robie will get next Mondayi . It has enabled him to be- lieve and say to some of his intimate friends within a few days- that the majority may reach tvventy thousand. t . v i--iv j He calculated well. He ' shows that : as a party , manipulator he is shrewd, very shrewd. The Demo-; crats made no fight and the majority is rejoiced over as very satisfactory to. those concerned. But it V will do Blaine more barm than good. Men who are . violently opposed to class legislation and sumtnary Taws, will not hail Blaine as their political friend and ""slivwrnrhe "Plnmed Knave" is welcome to all he will be ableioairi from the purchase of a few thousand votes and , the bar gain with the Maine Liquor law' ad vocates and leaders.

This is the sum ..they' must pay for, the Support of Government taxes jon imports. In all a family of five, ac cording to the figures of the Record, pays $70.15 annually, in taxes to the Federal Government. ; p Now taxes are necessary. ' It ' is thought best in this country to raise the most of the money for the sup port of the Government by the invis ible system of collection by levy ing taxes on -foreign goods; although such a process would inevitably in crease the prices of goods and in this way compel the consumer to pay, the tax.

They de clare farther that "all j taxation shall be limited to the ' requirements, of economical government."

We ac quiesce in although protesting against the unwise and injudicious course which they pursued. Under the Democratic party a citi zen is protected at home and abroad,, and the release of Martin Kostza is an instance to show with what celerity the protection ,of the United States was thrown around an American citizen under a Democratic ad ministration and Secretary of State tbe late !

We believe in the Democratic party and its immortal principles.
