Under tlie lieading, "A Personal Statement," Hon. James G. Blaine on Sunday furnished the press for publi cation the following: "Since the separation or my son and wife, three and a half years ago, my family have - silently borne every mis-, representation, every slanderous at tack, every newspaper interview.wlnch it has pleased t lie now-divorced wife to inspire. The one person aimed at has been Mrs. Blaine, and we have perhaps been at fault in allowing a horror of the public discussion of private mat ters, combined with a regard for the future of my grandson, to permit so much calumny to go unanswered. The last outrage of the kind, embodied in the decision of the judge at Dead wood, Dak., assumes an official character, which makes it impossible to remaiu longer silent. "To remain silent would be to ac cept and perpetuate a great wrong to my wife a greater wrong to my grandson than even a publication of the truth can inilict upon him. It is necessary in speaking that I should give a summary as brief as possible of the marriage and the incidents which followed it and led to the separation. A letter which I addressed to the Kev. Thomas 1 Ducey at the time of the marriage will distinctly state the im portant facts bearing upon that event: " 'Augusta, Me., Sept. 13. 1886 'Rev. Thomas J. Ducej, Rector St. Leo's Churchy 16 east Twenty ninth street. New York city: Sir, On Wednesday morning last, the- 8th instant, my youngest son, James G. Blaine, Jr.. shocked me by the announcement that on the preceed ing Monday be had been united in marriage with Miss Marie Nevius; that you had performed the ceremony in your own rectory; that my son and Miss Xerins were unaccompanied by friend or relative, and that two of your household servents were the sole wit nesses. My son's announcement gave the first knowledge that I or any mem ber of my family had of his marriage or even of his attachment to Miss Nevins, whose character 1 wish to say at the outset, is not at all in question, and of whom but for this rash mar riage I never heard A BREATH OF CENSURE. " 'My son was born on Oct. 12, .1868, and is not, therefore, 18 years old. was. living here in his own home, in the house where he was born, sur rounded by neighbors who had known liitn all bis life, under the daily care of a tutor who was fitting him for col lege, which he hoped to enter this au tumn. To facilitate his preparation he desired to remain here during the summer, while the other members of the family were much of the time at Bar Harbor. As I haye since learned, Miss Kevins, in company with her sis ter and father, came to Augusta on Monday, "Aug. 16. On Friday, Sept. 3d, eighteen days after her arrival in Augsta, my son. who had never seen ber or heard her name until she came here, left his home without permission, and without the knowledge of any member of his family and accompanied Miss Kevins and her sister to their mother in New York. Ou Saturday. the 4th, the two young persons pre sented themselves to you for marriage. Through my eldest sou. Walker Blaine, who went to New lorkas soon as I beard these unhappy tidings, I learn that James misrepresented bis age to you, stating that he -was within a month or two of 21. But be did not (according to your own narrative to my hoii Walker) conceal from you the vital fact that HE WAS A MINOR. He did not conceal from you,but open ly avowed, that I had no knowledge whatever of his intention to be mar ried, and that his special design was to keep all knowledge of it from me. In this concealment he sought your aid and abetment, and you held his secret under consideration from Saturday until Monday, agreeing with my sou not to advise any member of my family of his rash purpose. You took him to the archbishop in order that a dispen sation might be secured to enable Miss Nevins, who was reared a Catholic, to marry my son, who was born, baptized, and reared a Protestant. You knew that during the long interval in which you were making these preparations I was within a moment's reach by tele graph, and yet you never gave the slightest intimation to me the most deeply interested and responsible party. - 'In defence of this conduct you alleged to my son Walker the conri dence reposed in you as a priest by my son. The confidence of the confession al is always respected, but by youraise of confidences reposed in you outside the confessional, even by those not of of the Catholic communion, you per force become an ACCOMPLICE BEFORE .THE ACT of any crime or any imprudence to which you may listen. It is not for me to advise a minister your intelli gence that your position is absolutely untenable, would be dangerous to so ciety, and would not be respected by any court in the land. You further alleged in justification of your action that if you had not performed the cere mony some one else outside your com munion would have done it. This is a common defence of evil-doing and is unworthy of a priest and a man. You might as well justify your murder of a man by chloroform on the ground that otherwise some one else would murder him with a dagger. " 4A week ago my boy was under my protection the most helpless, the least responsible member of my family; erratic, but controllable through bis strong aUections; an object of constant watchfulness to his parents his broth ers, and his sisters; a source of con stant anxiety, but not of despair, be cause he is of good abilities, as readily influenced to the right as to the wrong. and because the patience of love can. never know weariness, loday, through your agency, this boy in years, in ex perience, in judgment, in practical ca pacity, leaves rny home and my care, burdened with the full responsibilities of a man, with the welfare of a woman in his keeping. "'I am powerlebs. 1 cannot -question the legality of the marriage. Pshall at a distance and at every disadvan tage endeavor to guide my son. But as a father living under the divine in stitution of the family, as a citizen living under the divine order of society, I protest against your act As a ser vant of Gnd t wlnse ministry you are ordained. 1 call God to witness between you and tue. Of whatever evils rrsult ing from this dt-ploiable marriage my son may be the author or the victim the guilt be on your head. 'James G. Blaine,' HE HAS CHANGED HIS MIXD "When I wrote this letter I believed that Miss Nevins had no other respon sibility in the marriage than in con senting to my son's appeal and was blameworthy for this alone. Since then I am prepared to say that the marriage was arranged by her far more than by my miu; that she did every thing to promote it, suggested every arrang-meut, antiipatei aud provided for every emergency, aud that, in fact, but for h-r personal, active, and un tiring agency the marriage, woold" nev er have taken pi. ice. In this she show ed knowledge 'and forethought not to be expected in a woman' of 21 years. Within ten days after her arrival in Augusta, witnin one week from the day she first met my son, she was ad juring hiiu thus for several successive days: .v "'Write nothing until I see you. Let me know at once about the law (of marriage). I can't waito hear. It makes me ill.' " 'Can you come to me a moment? I am alone. Do not send up your card.' " 'Did you see the laws? Do not keep up the suspense.' " 'The Bar Harlior House is perfect, but I love the dear old place here bet ter. " 'Don't ask any questions that may lead people to suspect anything. Re member that we are m the mouths of every man, woman, and child in Augusta. Every word you speak is repeated and misconstrued. Every look of yours, every flush of your face is talked ot. Look into the laws only tomorrow, ond perhaps one question at the bank (where he obtain ed money for his marriage journey on my account by inducing the cashier to advance him funds on his memoran dum a thing he had never learned to do i before he met Miss" Nevins)."'"""7" "All else can wait. Oh! do be caref uL I feel all sorts of dread ful things are said. of us. Yon do not know how vile the world is. Do look up the laws. Let the rest keep." '"Did you look into the laws of Massachusetts and New. York? I am sure not. Answer this tonight.' " 'I have at last thought of the only man on earth whom we can both trust as witness. He is a man I can tele graph for to come to Boston if we find it necessary. Lie is a man. and he adores every member of my family. I have known him since I was a child. He would go to any place with us, and none know. He never would breath it as long as he lived. If you say so, I will give him a gentle bint that I will need his services for an emergency but not tell him for what." . '"Do write me at once what the New York law was and the forfeit. ' Answer at ence." "When they reached New York, after they had fled from Augusta, she cautioned my son not to 'forget the $20 gold piece in a little box for Ducey,' and to 'look in the pocket of your gray clothes for the ring. In short, she took charge of every mat ter and directed all the proceedings to the last minute. BLINDLY LED TO THE ALTAR. "It was thus that a boy ol 17 years and 10 months, in some respects inex perienced even for his age, .was tempt ed from his school books and his tutor and blindl) led to the altar by a young waman of full 21 years with entire secrecy contrived by herself and with all the instrumentalities of ber device complete and exact. When my eldest son, Walker went to New York, as I have related in the Deucy letter, his object was to see whether this marriage of my youngest son might not be invalid or could cot be annulled by reason of his youth. He waa met with the assertion tliat it was too late for any proceedings to set aside the marriage, because after the marriage the bride, instead of return ing to her mother, had taken passage for Boston with the groom on one of the night steamers on Long Island Sound. She returned from Boston to New York the following day and .be eaonaxra home to -Augusta. "Tnis fact was learned for the first time by Walk er, a boy's modesty having: prevented my son James from bringing it to my knowledge. "1 purpose next to show by a some what. minute statement of facts and dates the falsity of the assertion that Mrs. Blaine broke up the marriage re lations of my son aud his wife. She did not see her daughter-in-law until May, 1887, eight months after the marriage, when being in New York the latter called upon her twice dur ing ner two day's stay. The next time she saw her was a month later. When about to sail for Europe, on the 18th of June, was a single day in New York and saw the young wo man taking leave. DEEPLY IN DEBT. "At the end of fourteen months we returned from Europe and stopped two or three days in New York. We found that in our absence my son bad not only spent his entire allowance, but that he was deeplv in debt. It was then arranged that both ray son and his wife should come down to Augusta and have their future deter- j mined af a family council. They ar-' rived in Augusta on Saturday the 18th of August. Mrs. Blaine was absent from home on a visit and returned Monday afternoon, the 20th, so that she saw James's wife for the first time in Augusta on the evening of August 20th. "Within two or three days I learn ed the details of the dismal failure of their New York life, and after full consultation with Mrs. Blaine, and with free approval, I proposed that they should come to live at. Augusta and occupy our old home. I had a summer-house at Bar Harbor, and as I intended to spend! all my winters in Washington this house would be vacant if they did notoccupy it. The house being large I proposed to pay for fuel and light and the wages of a man servant, and 1 would furnish them with a horse and carriage. I also assured them in addition tho sum of $2,500 a year until my son should be able to earn an income of that amount. I made the proposition while we were sitting on the lawn, with my son's wife bit a feet distant. My son went immediately over to her, and I know he told her in detail just what my offer was., Her reply was that she would Hot stay in Au gusta under any consideration. He was very much disconcerted by her de cision, and for the nrst time inform ed his mother and myself of his dis content and unhappiness a fact which was not liefore known, but which was not received with surprise. "We then learned that during our absence in Europe he had became grad ually estranged from ber and her refusal to accept the residence in Augusta was merely the last of a LONG SERIES OF DISAGREEMENTS, which threatened to make their united life impossible, and which led finally to a seperation. Disaster is the only legitimate conclusions1 of such a mar riage. During the twp weeks that my son's wife stayed at Asgusta it became patent to every member of my family and to every visitor, and to no one more than myself, that a separation was the least disaster t be dreaded. "The immediate occasion of her de parture was my son's going to Bangor at my request on Friday, August 31st, with some document for which 1 tel egraphed (I was occupied with the campaign of the State), and he contin ued with me to .Ellsworth , where I was to speak on -Saturday, the 1st of Sep tember. There being a violent rain storm the meeting a$ Ellsworth was postponed to Monday J September 3rd. James spent the interval at Bar Har bor, and 1 remained at Ellsworth.. On Monday, after the meeting, James . re turned with me to Augusta and ar rived at 11 P. M., only to learn .that his wife had gone to ew York at 3 P. M., eight hours before. She knew well that James would be at home that night. "Mrs. Blaine had strongly disap proved of her departure and had earn estly urged her to remain. She did not follow his wife or that the immi nent final separation would come so soon; hut she deprecated the angry and, to us, at least, sudden departure and the journey to New York alone with the infant and nurse. She did not, whowever, suspect that the young wo man left with any less friendly feeling toward herself than toward every other member of the family except my soii James. - "Finding the young woman deter mined to go, and foreseeing the diffi culties in their path since my daughter-in-law utterly declined the provis ion I made for their support, Mrs. Blaine repeatedly bade her remember that she would at any moment RECEIVE THE CHILD for any length of time for one year or three years or ten years or for life that he should receive as all who Know my wife will believe thj very best care and attention; that she would put bis mother under no considerations whatever, and that whenever she wished t he cnild to te returned to her he should be sent. The offer was not decliued. It appeared to be received in the same friendly spirit in which it was given. Thus my daughter-in-law left my home, the only home which my son could provide for her. She left behind her for my son a note, whose temper and tone are sufficiently indica ted by a single extract: '"You knew when you left what the consequence of your trip to Bar Harbor (would be). What business bad you at Bar Harbor? Why did you not telegraph me and not let me lie awake until nearly 4 o'clock? You shall live to regret all this. You have broken the greater part of your promises thus far, and until Ou learn to be truthful you need not come near me. I am not here to have my affairs discussed among the' neighbors. If you desire to have any communica tion with me you can address New York Hotel.' Signed simply Mary Ne vins Blame. I will not follow her, and I told her t would not when she made the threat.' Just forty-four days after this wilful departure she returned to my bouse, acccompanied by her mother. Mrs. Nevins, my grandson, and his nurse. At the moment of their arrival there were in the house only, Mrs. Blaine, who was ill, and the servants. Mrs. Blaine at once arose, dressed, and went down stairs, having previously instructed her maid to do everything required for their comfort. This was the only time she ever met Mrs. Ne vins. Neither lady advanced to great her. No hand was extended to her, but from Mrs. Nevins, seconded by her daughter, came charges against her son and herself so insulting and so vio lent that a servant was called in for the frankly-expressed purpose of ACTING AS A RESTRAINT upon tbe elder visitor. "On this brief stay of two weeks with us and on this one last visit of two hours, rests all the substantiation of the statements of the judge at Dead wood. Before leaving for thp West I advised with Mrs. Blaine in the event of the return of her daughter-in-law, and she acted upon my advice. Not a word since the separation has been written by her, nor has she seen my son's wife except on the street in New York, when not a word was exchanged between them. My son j was entirely free. . No restraint was attempted or desired or needed, to insure separa tion. On the day of his wife's depart ure he was as strongly determined fas on the day of ber divorce not to resume his relations with her. "Far be it from me to hold my son blameless, though when his vouth, his uncompleted education, his separation from the influences of home, the ex change of a life full of hopes and anti cipations for premature cares and un congenial companionship are consid ered. I hold him more sinned , against than sinning. But bis mother'at no time in thought, or word, or deed attempt ed to separate this man aud his wife. On the contrary she did not fail by liber ality, by consideration, and , by exten uation to foster in every practicable way their happiness if .happiness j to them had been possible. i James G. Blaine. A MULE WORTH OWNING. nisi OTulesbip Killed His Grizzly Be&rohip and Ilesu nietl Grazing. From tbe Louisville Courier-Journal. ,i .t . - I I bought a large iron gray pack mule to carry my goods across the Sierra Nevada. I christened, him Pete. The day after we started we Pete and I came to a nice grassy place. I teth ered Pete to a tree, allowing him about twenty feet range, and taking some bam and crackers out of my haversack, sat down on a fallen tree to eat them. While I munched the ham and crack ers Pete cropped the fresh grass, which grew long and green. Suddenly he reared up and snorted in a manner that very plainly said, "Look out'" I sprang to my feet, and it was quite well I did so, for it saved me from tbe em brace, of a very large, I very hungry and very ferocious grizzly bear, who was standing erect and preparing to throw his paws around mc. I rushed for the nearest tree and was up in it in the winking of an eye. 1 I was safe for the time being, but. alas, poor Petel The bear weut about things in a very cool and complacent manner. I could see by! the express ion of his eyes that he was taking Pete's measure, for he cocked his head over on one side and assumed an ap pearance of great wisdom, as you have seen crit.ics look at a picture. . Pete's' behavior, much i as I had al ready learned of that remarkable ani mal, surprised me. ? When I was safe his alarm disappeared altogether. He dropped his head and began to nibble the grass again. He went on with his grazing just as if thre were no such thing, as grizzly bears in the world He would nip off the succulent green 3tems and chew with great steadiness and regularity, and occasionally I could hear bis contented snort as he struck an trfftisually delicate bunch of grass. The bear was as much astonished as I was. Evidently he considered such conduct without a parallel, for he looked harder than ever at Pete, then scratched his head and tried to think out an answer to the problem. But Pete calmly went on with his grazing and looked neither to the right nor to the left, while I sat in my tree and held my breath. I By aud by the bear arose, made a grand circuit around the tree in order to watch Pete from : every angle and point. Getting no satisfaction out of that mode of procedure he came over to my tree and looked up at me for an answer. But I had none to give him. Between the bear and me we began to think that Pete had lost his mind. Perhaps fright at the ap pearance of the bear had so bereft him of reason that he continued to eat grass through the mere force of hab it. ' ! t .- Soon the grizzly's appetite evercome his curiosity, and be prepared for work. He seemed to me to make a critical examination of his destroying apparatus. He stretched his front paws and slapped the muscles of each with the other. Evidently he was sat isfied that be was in good trim, for he showed his great teeth with joy. He appeared satisfied that he was fit to de molish a whole drove of mules. I These things done, the bear gave the signal for action, i He opened his mouth emitted a series of growls which made my tiesh creep and my hair rise under my hat. t ) Pete went on grazing. His counte nance expressed no proof that he heard the growling of the grizzly. The lat ter dropped on all fours, with his hun gry mouth open and his great teeth dis closed. Still Pete made no sigh that he eigher saw or heard, but confined his attention strictly to the bus ness of finding dinner. Tne Dear, ilso having the latter in view rapidly approached until he was in striking distance, and then, rearing ur, pteparrd to disetn to wel Pete and break his neck with one blow.. j j I Down came the outstretched paws, and at that moment Pete seemed to become aware for the first time of the presence of the grizzly, j He sprang forward, the paws struck only the air, and then I saw gray i form double itself in a ball and hound upward. Out of that ball flew two legs, which shot back and forth with tue rapidity and force of piston rods, going thump, thump upon the body of the grizzly. Up and down went the body and back and forth went the two j pile drivers. The bear was struck all over, on his shoulder, on his paws. He fell in one direction and then in another. He was kicked into the air and pounded into tbe earth. Tue breath was driv en out of him, and life followed, and at length he lay upon the ground a shapeless mass, every bone in his body broken, while Pete j had quietly re turned te his interrupted grazing with out a hair injured. j If you feel weak and all worn out take BROWN 5 IRON BITTERS THE lilBOlt CONFERENCE AND RESCIriNtt PLATFORn. ; I The great gathering of lepresenta tives of thirteen industrial organiza tions is over. They met, consulted. acted, and adjourned. The platform resulting therefrom is known to the world and is before tbe fellow citizens of the United States for their approval or their condemnation. There are some things incorporated in their principles which are worthy of the support of all honest, patriotic men; but I regret to say that tbere are likewise planks in their platform that no honest, patriotic man can endorse, principles, that if carried out. would bankrupt and ruin tbe government, demands foreign to every principle of justice, demoralizing in their tenden cies, oppressive, and alien to the in terests of laboring men whose mus cles are the source of productive wealth and who bear the great burden of taxation. The present existing laws are oppressive enough to - call forth this great effort relief; but this part of their substitute for relief would prove more burdensome than any ever heretofore complained of. 1 . ' I refer to the plank of their plat' form which demands the payment to Federal soldiers the difference in' the value of the currency in which they were paid and gold. What fabalous injusticel Did every other loyal citi zen not. have to accept this depreciated currency for bis labor, for bis prod ucts of mill, of land, of all exchange? Then why now demand that the sol dier be made a favored class. The people are the government. All suf fered alike. Demands that would be equally so for all classes. Is the sol dier of the past not satisfied with his victory and now with his one hun dred and fifty million dollars per an numgin pensions? Was it patriotism. love of borne and country, that caused him to take up arms in preservation of the beloved Union, or was it the hope of future financial reward and plunder of the government vaults that inspired him to face the fiery enemy. Think of it! A soldier, for booty! O for the spirit of the Latin phrase, Dulce et decorum est pro patria moiil Shill it be changed by the men of this glorious republic of the nineteenth century to this motto Dulce et decorum est pro lucra morir No, a thousand times .no! . - There are too many honest patriotic descendants, who hold the right of citizenship, of our noble forefathers who won liberty as the price of blood to. allow patriotism to be supplanted by avarice, Alliancemen beware. While tne People's Party platform embodies our Ocala demands, it embraces other claims so foreign to our schemes for relief from oppressive taxation and other depressing causes as to render it unworthy of out support. It is not the Alliance platform but one resulting from a conference of which tbe Alii ance was a thirteenth part. It is enough to make every Southerner's heart rejoice within him to know that our delegates opposed such 'a principle. Have we of the South not been oppressed enough by taxation for the benefit of tbe Union soldier's pension, for the maintenance of war taxes? Where is the consistency of the Union comrades' shedding tears of joy on clasping the band of bis van quished foe and tbe next day voting to tax him for his "selfish benefit? I do not impute dishonest motives to all who participated in the foundation of the People's Party platform :but believe they were deceived by shrewd schemers in the interest of the eld union sol diers, into endorsing this plank. Remember every dollar issued to pay the demands of this plank is a debt to be paid by tbe people. The goy-J ernment's obligations are the people's liabilities. ' i i Compare this demand on the part of our north western brethren with our axion "Equal rights to all special benefits to none." -How does it harmonize with our de mand for economic governmental ex pendentures? r i j True it is time to bury the pirit of sectionalism and it is my desire to see barrzony existing between all par ties North, West, East and South, but I have an equally sincere wish to see justic meted out to every citizen just alike and to see abandoued the extra oppressive taxes. Therefore, brethren ponder well the principles of the people's party before endorsing them and accepting them in lieu of the Ocal i Platform. It is not yet too late to secure the essentials principles of our Alliance demands in the Dem ocratic platform. r The Alliance leadets have always de fined the position of the organization to be, labor for desired reforms in pres ent f xiMing parties. Why organize a third? True the Republican party has given the Alliance no encourage ment for it was the author of all the ills of which labor complains. But tbere is another good chance to secure relief, and that is through, and by co operation with the democratic party, whose principles can easily cover all the essentials of our demands. It has shown a kindly disposition to comply with our wish and to enact iuto law our demands. Compare the action of our Democratic Congressmen with the Republican Congressman relative to agricultural interest. " In the present congress every measure designed, to benefit the farmers was supported uni tedly by the Alliancemen and Demo c -ats but supposed by republicans to a man. Who then are the farmer's friends?' Who originated and enacted into law, the robbery tai iff the Nat ional Banks, thefextravagant pensions, pulilic. land squandering Act? i Who demonetized silver? Who con tracted the currency? Who granted liberal charters to Rail Read Com panies, Trust and Monopolistic corpor ations? Who refused to legislate a gainst dealing in cotton and grain f u tpres? Who permitted the alien own ership pf laud? Who taxes every con sumer for the benefit of, favored manufacturers? The answer is plain the party that has teen in power - uninter ruptedly since 18l0. Then brethern of our nobl order ponder well before we for sake the party whose pledge we have to reform the things if we vote them tbe power. ' These are my views as an AlQanee man and my hopes rest in tbe future success of Democracy which will mean the triumph of the essential demands of our noble order. -With due deference to all who differ ' with me, I remain Yours Fraternally, .
