THE EUGEHfc CITY GUARD. SATURDAY. e . . . . ' 1 ..DKCEMIJKU 4, ISS8. ; , Kdionndt iik a Lciicr Writer. The charming find clf'gant epistolary 'correHponJfiico lictween Mr. JaH. . G. 15lainn of Maine, and "My clear Fin!i v r" of the classic city of IJostou may , bo rentcmbertxl ly a fow of our read H'TH, Tlin graceful and charming nai- ( v;t(e, in the phrasfts "Dura this letter'' : mid the expressive metaphor of the Speaker of tlie House of lleprcsnnta lives that he could ''cast an anchor to windward" is surely not forgotten by our readers. Who could fail to call to tnind the ardent expression of Mr. Blaine in 1834 that every Republican paper in the United States should pub lish these letters in order to vindicate their candidate? With what wonder then did the people see a candidate 'with ho little influence that ninety nini "one-hundredth of the Republican pa pern refuse to publish what he regard ed on his vindication. , It. is true the organ of Jay Gould, tlio New York Tribune, ton week after lii nomina tion published what purported to bo the Mulligan letters, but this version, for Homo reason, is not the same as fell from the lips of Maine, when he read theKe letters in the House in 187C, and which are to bo found in tho Congiess ional Globe. In Lane county only one ' paper published tho letters of Ulaino to Fisher. What reason the two Republican papers had for refus ing to establish Mr. Blaine's innocence of certain charges, we do not know. The popularity of these letters with Democratic editors was phe nomenal. In tho last few days Senator Edmunds of Vermont has appeared to tho public as a commentator on tlicso letters. Although rotlipr enigmatical tho utter ances of this letter and what it refers to is not difficult to lind out. This epistle which was written to a frieni ituiot as rhetorical as Mr.-Iileiue's; but it will do. Brother Edmunds gives lilaino "good measures, pressed down bhaken together, and running over:" 'This is tho letter: Wasiiinuton, April 15, 1885. . , Dear Sir: I have your very kini nnu weicotuu miter oi wie lUtli, ant) thank you heartily for it. . It is true my position was a trying one; for on reduction I felt that it was better that lwepublican ticket should succeed (whatover my personal opinion hud been and was concerning a candidate), than that tho government should tro into tlio nanus ot the Democratic party. But I could not under any cir tuiiistauces or temptations say that I bnlliWI'd Hnmotliinir ulinnt n omulirlnl.i v that I did not behove; and if I were to make speeches ami say that I did not believo as to certain transactions, vto, or was, (so sneakum to refuse to answer quustions on these topics, it would be worse for tho party than stay at home. I knew therefore that I did the best tiling that an honest could do, Tho New York World, the lead ins Republican 'paper, thus raps Mr, Blaine on the knuckles for showing his resentment to Mr. Edmunds, on tho occasion of the funeral of the late ex IYeitident Arthur: "Distinguished men from all parts of the country met yesterday iiesulo Mr. Arthurs Iner. l'resideiit Oliiviiluiul wullidil nrm in arm with R. B. J I ay en. It was a good place to sink' personal feelings and bury animosities, but Mr. Blaine de clined to accept the proll'ered hand of Senator Edmunds, of Vermont. This was one of the most noteworthy epi sodes of the solemn day. The prico of wool is much higher now than it was three years ago. A reduction of 10 per cent, duty was made on wool in 1883. Under a higher tana" in 1883 than in 1881, 188.) and 1880' the price of wool was lower than unco that time, Why 'does wool sell for more under a low tarilf, than under' a high tarill' is ttie very plain question we ask. Thoso who are occupied in speculat ing on the probabilities of the Euro pean war now have to consider what order commanding the Russian boats engaged in tralic with the ports on ilia Danube tostil for Odessa means. It inov have the same iieaning that the calling out of reserves by Great Britain had. It is probably a "blull," and will not affect the price of wheat. Tho New York Tribune twits a cer. tain Frenchman for attributing tlm Balkan trouble to English intrigue and adds that "it is olso a time honored Gallio belief that the spots on the sun are the work of of perfidious Albion." Yes, it is almost as funny as attribu ting tho movrme'ut for turiir reform in the United States to British gold. It is a couipli nent Gov. Moody pay to Gov lVnnoyer when ho -xtiiuate that tho inooniinj; governor can ct n ducttheStatfl Governinent on a tax k-vy of one half as much as formerly. ''"' It in very curious to nolo in this country that lh niei, ho pay the low. tott an t-n-i.-ej i the iTJti-cled A His raccfn! Utcurrtncr. The New York World, which we notice our Republican contemporaries are frequently quoting, given the fol lowing account of tho snub administer ed by Blaine to Edmunds. When Col MoMichael escorted Mr. Blaine into the parlor he came within six or seven feet of where Senator Ed munds and Mr. Miller were sitting. McMichael informally introduced Mr. Blaine to the other two gentleman. Both Edmunds and Miller rose to greet Mr. Blaine. Mr. Edmunds advanced towards Blaine and extended his hand. The Utter paused, looked the Vermont statesman fair in 'he eye arid turned quickly around and walkpd across to the rear of the room and took a seat Iiesulo a Rmall table upon which were a number of books. Mr. Blaine took a bock from the table and began turning the leaves and remained tlinre until Mc Michael returned to the room and in vited him to a seat in the front of the room, near the grate. It, was not Jong after this until Senator Edmunds was taken tJpstftirs to view the corpus, He had iiot been gone lone when Mr. Blaine wished to be shown upstairs where the remains layj McMichael then went up, and after Senator Ed monds had taken the last look at his dead friend, he was escorted to the li brary, immediately in the rear of the room. JUcJlichael then s;ht a messi onger downstairs to show Mr. Blaine up. McMichael himsnlf kept guard oh the library door to prevent Mr Ed munds from returning to the room tlur ing the time Mr. Blaine was at the casket, fearing, he said, that if the two came together again another scene mi'ht follow. The World has an interview with Mr. Frank Ilatton, Arthur's Postmaster-General, whose opinion that a fun- oral is the last place in the .world to exhibit one's prejudices, must be the opinion of every moderate marl. Mr. Hatton said: I confess I was surprised at first wnen l Heard ot the incident, hut it is riot out of keeping with Mr. Blaine's character. I had only attributed more virtue to him than he deserved, a mis tako Blaine's friends often make. One would naturally suppose that a man while in a house of mourning, although ho cared very little for the memory of the dead would have decency enough to show some outward respect .for him. But it seems to make no difference to Blame whether he is at a feast or a funoral he never loses an opportunity to udvertise. himself and vent his spleen. Mr. Blaine's whole course since the death of Gen. Arthur has been that of a hypocrite. He waited two days, until every one else had sent their messages of sympathy td the fam ily, before ho forwarded his ellusivo telegram. He invited himself to the funoral, which was proper enough, per haps, but his experience in tho past should have told him that he might meet somo people at Mr. Arthurs bier that had not worked for his election to the l'f esideney. Ho knew perfect ly whom he was'Iikely to meet at Gen. Arthur's house, and if he did not care to meet them he should have remained away, if he had met Mr. Edmunds on the street or at a public reception and refused to speak to him, it would have been another matter; but under the circumstances I think his conduct in defensible from the standpoint of de cency."
