MR. BLAINE'S RECORD.
A CORRESPONDENT GIVES FACTS
AND ARGUMENTS.
Showing that n Cenerol Accusa-
tion Is Not Proof and It All Is
Simply Reiteration.
Editor Ban Antotilo Light:
Misrepresentation and slander ecm
to be the main resources of the sharp-
hooters of the Democratic party In this
campaign yef the newapapera of that
delectable party plume and pride them-
selves on thotrsuperldr political oleanll-
neu and their abstinence from the use
of personal slander of the Presidential
candidates of the Republican party. The
arrogant pretension Is absolutely with-
out foundation either In fact or truth.
No Democrat of Xatlonal distinction or
weight no Democrat who served with
Mr. Maine In the House or In the Sen-
ate i Lamar Thurnian Voorhces Pen-
dleton Vest Beck etc. have ever
charged him with political corruption.
Vet all the small fry of tho Dcraocratlo
party hare held him up as politically
corrupt and drenched lilm with copious
showers of billingsgate. Is not the
silence of tho leaders of the Dcmocrntlo
party who served with .Mr. Blaine and
were familiar with tho facts a complete
refutation of the billingsgate and cal-
umny Indulged In by the small fry of
the party? If the Democratic leaders
knew Mr. Maine had been guilty of po-
litical corruption everybody knows they
would have hastened to make and prove
the charge so as to cripple Maine past
all mending. It Is a most noteworthy
fact that not n single man of real promi-
nence and Xatlonal character In the
Democratic party has publicly ac-
cused Mr. Blaine of political corrup-
tion personally. In -Marob 1831 the
Democrats had control of the Senate
Mr. Blaine and Mr. Wlndotn having
been nominated to positions In the Cab-
inet of President Garfield and David
Davis acting with the Democrats generally.-
All of the corrupt acts Imputed
to Mr. Blaine were prior In date to
March 1831 and had been Investigated
and discussed fully and exhaustively for
a period of Ave years. They had been
revamped and rubbed up and treated to
a fresh coat of varnish In 1830 In order
to defeat the nomination of Mr. Blaine
for the Presidency. The Democratlo
Senators were familiar with theso
charges and the facts on which they
were bottomed. The Senate a majori-
ty of which were Democrats continued
the nomination of James O. Blaine for
Secretary of State and by this oulolal
act declared to the world their belief In
bis Innocence of these charges of corrup-
tion. In case the Democratlo Sena-
tors had been convinced that Mr.
Blaine had been steeped In po-
litical corruption they were grossly de-
rellot for not rejecting his nomination
and assigning the reason for so doing.
A corrupt man Is unfit for and unworthy
of a position in the President's Cabinet.
No one for a moment believes that Bay-
ard Lamar Beok Pendleton Hampton
Coke Ben Hill etc would havo voted
to confirm the nomination of Blaine for
Secretary or State in Marob 1881 had
they felt tbat he had been guilty of cor-
ruption and that his guilt had been es-
tablished by Irrefragable proofs. Ills
confirmation by a Democratlo Senate In
March 1881 was then to all Intents and
purposes an expression of a disbelief in
the truth of the charges made against
his personal Integrity.
Bnt many ltepubllcana have hurled
these charges against Mr. Blaine and
consequently they must needs be true
say tho Democrats. This sort of argu-
ment Is a two edged sword. Assertion
falls far short of proof. John Kelly and
Grady made many charges at Chicago
about Graver Cleveland and accused
him of standing in with corporations
and monopolies and of being hostile to
the worklngmen. Kelly and Grady are
Democrats and according to the argu-
ment employed against Mr. Ulalne.thelr
charges against Mr. Cleveland aro to be
accepted as true. But a casein point
and nearer borne oecurs to me; a
prominent Democratlo paper some
lime past; charged tbat Governor Ire-
land had been of counsel to parties who
had defrauded Texas of some of her
land and that well knowing the fraud
perpetrated by his client he had re-
ceived a part of the "swag" for defend-
ing the fraud. No one who knows
John Ireland's past life and history
Will give credence to this slander yet
agreeably to the Democratlo argument
against Mr. Blaine; It Is "proof as strong
as holy writ" Just because' It was
belched forth by a Democrat. This sort
of argument Is as flimsy as gossamer.
But G. W. Curtis and the Independ-
ent Republicans believe Mr. Blaine was
guilty of political corruption and there-
fore refuse to support him. This Is
true but the question Is not whether
this or that man believes Blaine to be
uomiptJut it Is whether the faots In
the case prove he acted corruptly in cer-
' tain cases. An indictment charges In
the most unequivocal terms tbat a per-
son committed a named crime but the
evidence determines tho guilt or Inno-
cence of the party and not the posltlve-
nessofthe indictment In charging the
orime upon him. The fact that a hun-
dred or a thousand men believe a man
has been guilty or political corruption Is
no proof of It; out the charge ir formally
made must stand or fall with the testi-
mony adduced pro and oon In the case.
The Mulligan letters were not written
by Mr. Blaine to Mulligan but to Fisher
and were turned over to Mulligan by
Fisher or purloined by Mulligan to sub-
sorve bla private purposes. It Is unde-
niable tbat they were all written after
the rulings had been made by James G.
Blaine as Speaker and that none or
them Intimated tbat his rulings were
made In conformity with a previous cor-
rupt agreement and understanding with
Fisher or anyone else conneotea with
him. Nor baa It ever been shown tbat
the rulings were In violation or the rules
of the House; and until that la made to
appear the presumption must be In-
indulged that' they were correct.
The House of Representatives at the
session of 1875and 1870 wasunderDemo-
v crvtle control and had appointed a com
mittee or Investigation composed or
plokcd Democrats to hunt out any ras-
calities committed by Itepuhllcans. The
best trail dogs In the pack were placed
on this committee. It was a "smelling
committee." Proctor Knolt was a big
man on this committee and he was not
only a blind and bitter partlr.an but he
was determined to find out something
that would damn tho Republican party
and elect a Democrat to the Presidency
In Xovember 1870. James O. Blaine
loomed up grandly for the Presidency
and Was therefore a stumbling block In
the path of the Democracy. Proctor
Knott and bis committee employed both
telescope and microscope In their hunt
ror Republican crookedness and pretty
soon Informers spies soreheads turn-
coats gossips tattlers seekers after no-
toriety eleau and unclean beasts rep-
tiles that crawl upon their bellies and
Insects that buzz flocked to the commit-
tee. It resembled the scenes of the
"Popish Plot" In England while Titus
Oats and Dangerfleld were In tho full
tldo of successful lying and the Kngllsu
Mulligan was infected with the
prevailing ooniagton or going ueiore
Proctor Knott's committee to testify
and he gave out that he had In his hands
letters from Blaine to Fisher which
would blow Blaine sky blah. Mnlllgsn
came on to Washington loaded to the
muzzle. Tho next Is an out-cry and
charge from Mulligan that Blaine has
got the letters away from him by fraud
and violence and that he cannot pro-
duce thembeforo the committee. Mulli-
gan and Blaine gave different versions
of the circumstances attending the
transfer of the letters from tho former to
the latter. P.T.
House Worming:.
The I.iqiit has been favored with an
Invitation to Join Mr. S. 8. Scrivener

Kd Chase were arrested last evening on
Information given by a boy named Frank
Colo for theft of a gold watch and
money stolen from the clothing of boys
who were bathing In the river. Cole
was arrested ror complicity in the theft.
. More Birds.
Mr. Maurer the enthuslastlo young
sportsman was out on a bird hunt on the
Medina river yesterday afternoon and
killed 02 doves. He bad a very pleasant
time and while there secured some very
fine fossilized remains of prehlstorlo
man.
Rapid Work.
The brick work on the new Maverick
bank corner or Alamo plaza bas been
going up very rapidly In the last two
days. All the brlek work In the base-
ment has been laid and Is ready ror the
first floor. About 126000 bricks were
used In the basement alone. T. F. Graves
is the Superintendent of the brick work.
Only a Mouse.
A young lady living on King William
street while feeding her canary a few
days ago dlsoovered a poor little mouse
In tbe cage and at sight or it sbe
screamed and fainted away. She bruised
herself badly In falling oil the chair on
which she was standing. The mouse
ran away and did not follow up his ad-
vantage by devouring ber.
Another Crank.
Jean Bourgeois was tried before Coun-
ty Judge James yesterday afternoon on
a charge of lunacy. He was declared
insane and dangerous and should be
restrained. Ills hallucination Is that he
Is Jesus Christ and he endeavors to
compel everybody to worship him. He
beat a man named August Jennet very
severely to compel his homage.
A New Cavalry Troop.
About a dozen young men members of
the San Antonio Rides who are dissat-
isfied with the recent election of Cap-
tain Badger Instead of Captain Granger
have moBt or them shown their dissat-
isfaction by resigning and now beaded
by Mr. Felix Marx they are talking of
organizing a cavalry militia troop. Tbe
more the merrier.
Guide to Journalism
Mr. Stephen Gould Secretary of the
Merchants' Exohange is now engaged
compiling a very excellent book en-
titled "A Guide to and Notes on
Journalism." The manuscript Is very
complete and is full or solid Information
to experienced Journalists as well as
beginners In the profession. Mr. Gould
from his long and varied experience in
newspaper work Is well qualified to
compile such a work and a rushing sale
will be the result when the book Is pub-
lished. -
Very Contemptible
The Express says: "Mr. W. 1. Win-
ter the editor of tbe Limit was about
the only Republican present who waa
not made a delegate to the County con-
vention. This is a little strange too
when it Is considered that there were
not enough present to make up the list."
The above Is from the report of the
primary meeting at the pavilion and
Mr. Cotton the reporter displayed very
contemptible zeal and went very uiuon
out of bis way to say something alto-
gether unnecessary coupled with the
fact that Mr. Winter did not stay at the
meeting more than 10 minutes.
Recorder's Court.
Judge Callaghan was very tardy this
morning but when he arrived at tbe

How a Young Mexican Tries to
Get a Wife.

good loklng young Mexican named
Abran Ramirez while he was dodging
around the dark places at the Sunset
depot waiting for a rJght train to leave.
He was arrested on a charge made by
Mrs. Pcna who states that on yester-
day noon he ahducted her IS years old

on North Laredo near Commerce street
with the Intention or marrying her
Ramirez was formerly cook for Mrs.

EXPOSITION SOCIETY.
Benefit Performance Last Night
at Turner Hall.
Last evening at Turner hall the Juven-
tlo opera of "Golden Hair and The Three
Bears" was again produced and nonoof
the elements that made It's first produc-
tion so great a success were lacking. The
performance last night was a benefit
performance; the beneficiary being the
J 1.
Ladles' Exposition society. It Is to lie !
deplored that the audience was not a
larger one and those who purchased
tickets and did not take advantage of 1
them debarred themselves from witness- I
Ing a sterling entertainment. The caste
remained essentially the saute ns on the '
former representation and Miss Lily
Page w ho enacted the title role received
continued plaudits which were thor- j
oughly well doaerved. This Utile lady
besides possessing a pretty faco also
enjoys a very good voice which will de-
velop Into a lino mezzo-soprano If It bo
not taxed to too great a degree now.
Her action when In tho power of the
Bean was really goc. and betokens sho
has natural blstronlo ability of no mean
order. Tbe various numbers that occur
In her part were rendered correctly and
Usefully. Miss MoAlllster also Is worthy
or especial mention tho recitation sho
was called upon to sing being accurately
given.
Mrs. Katzenbcrger's singing In her
character or tho "Woodland Fairy" waa
perfect "celu va sans dire." The chorus
with one or two trivial exception was
admlssable. The "mtt en scene'' was
more elaborate than on the first orca-
slon and tbe whole opera was a greater
success ir possible than tho recent rep-
resentation. There will be a matinee at
three and all who havo not yet had the
pleasure or seeing "Onldf n Hslr" rep-
resented by Miss Lilly Page and the
"Three Bears" acted by Messrs. Roper
Shook and Master llreneman should
take this opportunity and considering
the worthy object with which the per-
formance Is given this afternoon's house
should be crowded.
On the Trail.
Colonel Nelson Plato ex-Collector of
Customs at Corpus Chrlstl arrived nt
tho Menger hotel last evening from La-
redo. He Is on his way to St. Louis
Chicago New York and Washington
and will bo absent SOdays during which
time he says he Is going to make It
very warm for his enemies who ousted
htm from his oflloe.
Troublesome Boys.
Mr. Charles Shelner who lives on
West Nueva street for several days past
has been annoyed by a party or boys
who throw stones at his dog throw lit-
ter In his yard and insult his wife by
swearing at her. He bad one of them
arrested this morning but owing to the
boy's parents Interceding he withdrew
the charge. He says however that If
they persist In their mischief he will
simply lire a load of fine bird shot Into
thein.

A TRUE REPORT
Of the Late Meeting ot the Gulf

The following report of the proceed-
ings of the Board or Directors' meeting
on Wednesday Is furnished the Light by
one of the directors who was present :
Board met In room on Commerce

ter Mr. Bremond had concluded his ex-

scribers to stock or the San Antonio and
