HBV. SB. SMYTH INTERVIEWED.
Mr. Blaine and His Record Views
f the Pastor or Center Church
Mr. Blaine and the mulligan Let
ters Private Correspondence 4a
ered A Personal Xrlbute X Mr.
Blaine His Honor and Integrity or
Character.
Desirous of giving the views of the eminent
theologian and divine, Bev. Dr. Newman
Smyth, to the public on the political ques
tions of the hour, and especially with- refer
ence to the moral fitness of Mr. Blaine for
the presidency, a subject which the Dem.
ocratio press is so much agitated over, we
sought an interview with that gentleman
yesterday and found him at his study, will
ing to express his opinion when asked. The
gentleman endorses Mr. Blaine and gave his
reasons therefor as follows:
Q. Dr. Smyth, on the strength of the so
called Mulligan letters the moral fitness of
Mr. Blaine for the presidency has been called
in question. Will yon state your opinion of
Mr. Blaine's record!
A. I will cheerfully do so. On the ques
tion as a Republican whether Mr. Blaine's
record is a sufficient reason for changing my
vote, I will say: The only charges against Mr.
Blaine have been based upon such portions
of a correspondence as have been published
regarding a long complicated business trans
action. A clergyman may well have some
modesty of judgment concerning matters of
business. Nevertheless," it is every man's
duty.to form a judgment for himself and to be
willing to state that judgment and act upon
ifc. My first knowledge of Mr. Blaine and
his character came to me years ago in a letter
which Mr. Blaine wrote to my father upon a
personal matter. (Dr. Smyth's father was
for many years professor of mathematics in
Bowdoin college.) I do not know whether
that letter has been preserved or not, but my
own idea of the sacredness of private corre
spondence would not permit me to publish
it without the full consent of the party who
wrote it. I will simply say that that letter
gave me a very high opinion of Mr. Blaine
as a thoroughly honorable and conscientious
gentleman.
As to the aforesaid Mnllican letters T will
say that in trying to form my judgment in
tne matter 1 carefully read and re-read that
part of the correspondence which has been
published, and the various combinations of
the letters in the papers opposed to Mr.
Blaine. I have not been able to read in them
any proof of official corruption. I do not
care to go into a discussion of the whole mat
ter; one or two points, however, which I
have not seen noticed in the Independent
papers it seems to me ought in fairness to
Mr. Blaine to be considered. The chief ob
jection is that he referred as a reason for
some personal favor to an official act. A
more careful reading of the letters, however,
buuwb mat me service to which he refers
was not his offioial ruling as Speaker, but
the information which he gave Mr. Boots
and Gen. Logan concerning the rules of the
House. Mr. Blaine's service consisted not in
his ruling, but in the information which he
gave as to the law. The propriety of such
service, or any subsequent reference to it,
may be questioned, but it is not in my judg
ment any evidence of official dishonest v. It
was a service aside from his official duties as
speaker.
Then there is another noint I not... To
ward the close of Mr. Blaine's entanglement
with Mr. Fisher, and after the letters said to
be so damaging to Mr. Blaine had been writ
ten, Mr. Blaine proposed to refer the whole
matter to arbitration. He writes to Wr
Fisher proposing to refer the whole matter
in dispute between them to a third nr.v
Now it seems to me utterly absurd to sup
pose that any man conscious of having writ
ten letters ruining his whole political ambi
tion would suggest that the whole matter
should be referred to a third party. It
seems to me that Mr. Blaine's perfect wil
lingness to make that reference of his whole
business with Fisher to an arbiter shows at
least nis consciousness of integrity.
Q. What impropriety, if anv. was thrw
in Mr. Blaine's disposing of bonds to his
friends ?
A. In that matter of a purely business
dealing I must defer my judgment to the
judgment of business men more conversant
wltn such matters. My judgment in that
matter rests very largely upon what has been
told me by business friends in Maine who
Know Mr. uaine and one of whom bought
bonds at the same time that Mr. Blaine did.
That gentleman assured me that everything
was perfectly fair in that transaction upon
Mr. Blaine's part. The gentleman I speak of
was m J30BWJH hi tne time Mr. siame bought
and represented an opposition moneyed in
terest. He was acquainted closely with all
the facts of the transaction as a business
man. He saw nothing in the slightest de
gree dishonorable in the transaction and be
lieves Mr. Blaine tells the truth in the state
ment he desired from Mr. Fisher. Such tes
timony ana trom such a source has much
weight with me. Moreover, Mr. Blaine up
on the failure of the enterprise took all the
load back upon himself, an act which re
dounds to his honor as in a high degree
magnanimous, especially in a man far from
rich and hardly able to take such a financial
strain.
Again, against the charge of venality
nuiuu may nuve ueen maae against Mr.
Blaine from the aforesaid letters, we have
the fact that Mr. Blaine has never been found
guilty of a single act of dishonesty in all his
many years or puoiic official life, in
which he had the utmost opportunity to
make himself rich by corruption, and the
letters plainly show that instead of being
a rich man, as represented, he was a man
of very moderate circumstances.
Q. What impropriety, if any, was there
in his preparing a draught of a letter for Mr.
Fisher to sign?
A. I have had manv persons ask me for
letters of recommendation to different posi
tions who have specified points which they
wished me to endorse if I could. They
simply wished to let me know what they
wished covered by the recommendation. Mr.
Blaine says that the statement he wished
Fisher to sign was a true one, and so far as I
am able to judge of Mr. Blaine, I believe his
word. I may add that Mr. Blaine has al
ways been very bold in his letter writing.
He has written much in private letters
which more cautious men would not commit
to writing. He is a man of a frank, out
spoken nature, and thereby gives his ene
mies much advantage.
i nave seen Mr. Blame personally. I
preached once at Augusta, Maine, at the
church which he attends. He was one of
my auditors and after the service I met him.
I found, as is commonly known, that Mr.
Blaine is most respected and esteemed in hi'a
own State and his own citv. snH , wi,
business men and clergymen in whom I have
tne utmost conndence thoroughly believe in
Mr. Blaine. Mr. Blaine is not. I think re
garded in Maine as a bestower of offices. If
a man in Maine wants an office he does not
usually apply to Mr. Blaine, and my friends
in Maine say that Mr. Blaine has, to their
knowledge, when asked by personal friends,
refused to interfere in appointments to office.
l wnatare your views as to the states
manship of Mr. Blaine?
A. My opinion is that Mr. Blaine i not
only a man of very marked ability, bnt that
if elected he would give us a wise, temperate,
discreet and good administration. As to
fears of his provoking a foreign war I am
ready to sign the enlistment papers now for
any war which he may lead us into. Mr.
Blaine's speech at Bowdoin college at the
dinner is pronounced by those who heard it
as a model of propriety and elecanon Y
think his letter written regarding his mar-i
riage for its union of delicacy and manliness
is a model of English style.
To sum up, if all the facts were made
known, all the circumstances and conditions
attending tne Mulligan letters, I am satisfied
they would reflect no dishonestv on the rt
of Mr. Blaine. I am willing to accept the
views of Blaine of such men as Hoar,
Dawes, Gov. Long and others, who know his
public life best.
I have no judgment to
crats who in allegiance to their own party
continue to vote the Democratic ticket. But
as a teacher of morals I repudiate with eon
tempt the teachiniTB of tba Maw v-v r
ing Post with regard to the virtue of chastitv.
uuo uus loan uisuuiinenc or letters seems
to me to be favorable to Mr. Blaine, throw
ing light on the whole transaction, yet I
cannot see upon what principle any honor
able man can justify the publication for polit-
vi purposes oi private ana Dnsiness corre
spondence. I regard the principle of truBt
between man and man as one of the funda-
entaipruioiples upon which society is con-
A curl's Courage.
As Miss May Griswold was on her wav
from her home in East Granby to TariffvUle
and just as she was driving throw a bnshv
pass in the mountain known as Pond Marsh,
two men rushed from the bashes; one at
tempted to stop her horse and the other
caught hold of one of her carriage wheels.
Miss Griswold bypluckily applying her whin
beat off the man at the wheel, threw down
and ran over the one at her horse's head and
made her escape. Later while going home
she met the same two and they again tried to
stop her but without- success. Miss Gris

girl of eighteen or twenty years and showed
remarkable courage throughout the affair.;

The third great Bepublican rally of the
week was held last night in the New Haven
Opera House. The theater was crowded,
many being obliged to stand. The Young
Men's Bepublican clnb occupied . seats in the
front part of the house and the Blaine and
Logan Glee dub sat on the stage with the
i officers of the meeting. The audience was
evidently in hearty sympathy with, the
speaker of the evening, as they greeted his
remarks with hearty applause.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the meeting was
called to order by President Guyer of the
Young Men's Bepublican club. He called
for a selection by the glee club and one was
given with good effect.

Mr. Peck made a few remarks and the Olee
club sang "Well follow where the white

Mr. Peck then introduced the speaker of
the evening, the Hon. Emory A. Storrs, of
Unieago.

West? They say Logan don't speak srooA
English, but when his soldiers heard him
say "jorward" they knew what he meant.
He has made a glorious name and if you
take out his achievements from history you
leave a great chasm. But if you were to take
away the actual achievements of
Curtis and Schurz you would
not make a single abrasion. 5 T
haven't got half through with the Demo
cratic record yet. It is a party of crime
against civil liberty and a free ballot. And
it is against this bad old party that the Re
publican party is arrayed. I don't know
much about New Haven, but if you've had
any great fraud it has been under Democratic
rule, I can tell yon that.
As to the Bepublican party. I ioined it
when I was a boy. The first ticket I cast
was for John C. Fremont and the next in the
long line was for Abraham Lincoln. The
party said at the outset freedom Bhall be na
tional and slavery shall be sectional, and it
kept its word. It said the debt should be
paid. Isn't it being paid? It said
it would protect our industries; hasn't
it done it? It has landed 50,000,
000 of people in the midst of an
unexampled prosperity. It gave us a nation
al name and character and it comes to us to-
aay asking for our support. Why should I
give it more than you? I am merely a citi
zen. I hold no office and seek no office. I
desire to ask every Democrat here to-night
into whose hands may the honor and safety
of the nation be most safely trusted? Shall
it oe lirustea to me party that saved it or
the one that tried to destroy -it? .
"What is it to be an Independent? A
you to be independent of the Bepublican
party? That, perhaps, is well. But when
you join the Democratic party you are no
longer independent. But the Independents,
the college professors, the minority, are not
to rule. I believe in the citizens. I
am willing to exchange the aesthete for
the horny-handed and hi-n-fi.t,i
I believe it is better for the party to have the
thousands of Irishmen and Germans and ex
change for them those who are too wise for
the general wisdom of the country. I be
lieve more in the integrity, in the honesty of
the people than in the sublimated drWi-ixioo
of the professors. I welcome the nomine?
and speed the parting truest. Thev are com
ing, too, and there is no mistake about it
that the party is to be successful. The mono
of victory are unmistakable. Everywhere
James G. Blaine is welcomed . by thousands
of people, and his honesty has been vindi
cated by a majority of over 80,000.
In one-half the States of this
Union the ballot is . a fraud - and
farce. There are Bepublican maioritiaa
in half the southern States, but they are
counted the other way. How small seem
other considerations beside this. South of
Mason and Dixon's line there are millions of
men who cannot vote. I'm waving no bloody
shirt. In Arkansas in 1878 there were 98-,
000 Bepublican votes and in 1878 none. It
is the saddest story in American history. And
you and I are responsible for it. "We vote as
we please and our votes are counted.. But
we are citizens of the United States and
please to think of that. - If there is any man
who hates this fraud any more deeply than I
do it is James G. Blaine of Maine. I cannot
talk of this subject without feeling like a
missionary. The party which is bound to
correct this wrong is the Bepublican party.
"As to free trade, I was a free trader until
1871. I delivered some of the best free trade
speeches I ever read and they are in print.
And I could answer every one of the argu
ments to-night. The had logic, of . events,
tne lapse and current of the years have
changed my convictions. I am not as broad
a hTimaniterian as Mr. Sumner is. I don't
in- men alike. X don't love all women
alike. I love one woman better than all
others, and that's my wife. I love to see all
nations prosper, but mine first. ' After we
have got all the prosperity we want we can
afford to divide. .- . -i
s "The Democrats say they will reduce the
surplus. I didn't know that they ever made
at promise they could keep as well as that.
If they get into power they would reduce it
within a year so that the surplus - wouldn't
amount to much."
The speaker in eloquent sentences charac
terized the policy and works of the Bepubli
can party. He advocated the upbuilding of
the navy and eulogized the heroes of the
party. -
The Glee club sang "The Democratic
Clan," and the meeting adjourned.

last night to see the debut of the Ingersoll
Phalanx. At 8:45 the procession formed in
front of Whittlesey's Hall, the Wheeler St
Wilson band leading, and following in line
was the uniformed phalanx, numbering fifty,
and forty honorary members in citizens'
clothes. A large banner bearing the por
trait of ex-Governor Ingersoll was carried in
advance. The course of the parade was Jong
passing through many of the principal
streets. On Elm street the company stopped
before the residence of Governor Ingersoll,
who addressed them briefly. He felt highly
honored by the naming of the company. He
recalled with gratification the history of the
organization in the campaign of 1876. "I
sympathize with your good work, which I
am confident will result in the election of our
candidates. I shall appreciate yet more this
honor in the celebration with you of the No
vember victory."
F. S. ' Andrew. Joel A. Snerrv. Joseph A.
Joyce responded with a few words to seren
ades. The sweetest music of the band failed
to arouse Mr. Sargent from his slumbers and
the public lost another free trade argument.
The call on Colin M. Ingersoll reminded him
of their visit and work in 1876. when their
organization materially helped to achieve the
B' victory or tnat campaign, out or which
the American people were defrauded. Anoth
er triumph awaits us in November and of
which American citizens oncht to nlnrlirn
their lives and honor they will not be de
frauded. There is now a crisis in our histo
ry as a nation. The spirit of freemen burns
in our breasts. - The principles of Jefferson
and Jackson shall win. Blaine's party try
to conceal his character by the
cry of the tariff issues. Away
with that talk. The . Democratic
party has always been in favor of the protec
tion of American citizens, American indus
tries and commercial interests.
George F. Holcomb thanked the phalanx
for the call. Ex-Govemor English averred
that the majority of the American people de
sire a cnange oi government ana we owe it
to ourselves and posterity to make the
change. The November election will be his
fourteenth occasion of voting for President.

at Carll's Opera House to a very small audi

counter attraction. .. " The play is evidently
written solely for " the amusement of the
public, and, judging from the laughter and
applause that greeted the efforts of the vari
ous actors, succeeded admirably. .
What little plot there may be in tha nl
hinges on the persecutions heaped upon a
poor American girl in Paris by various

wealthy. The plot, though not original, is
decidedly funny.

A ROAD XO TUB SHORE.
Bound to Come hy the Consolidated or
the Derby.
A number of influential citizens of West
Haven met together Thursday to consider
the advisability of connecting the shore and
the inland towns by a railway. Nothing def
inite was agreed upon that evening, but at
the meeting to be held shortly, probably on
Monday, more definite arrangements will be
made. The road will connect with the Con
solidated road if the authorities of that road
give consent, but if" not they will connect
with the Derby road. Subscriptions to the
amount of $30,000 to the capital stock ' of
the new enterprise were made at the meeting.
There are two routes spoken of, one along
the shore and the other west of the green.
The latter route will probably be the one
selected as it will give better accommoda
tions to the residents of West Haven. Among
those from West Haven interested in the en
terprise sfe Mr. Waddingham, Mr. E. L.
Somberly and General E. E. Bradley and
number of of prominent New Haven gentle
men are also interested.

Police Notes.
The case of Joseph Eisele, a German who
was arrested on a charge of committing an
indecent assault on a 15-year-old girl living
at 165 Dixwell avenue, was continued in the
City court until to-day. The authorities
think there is something queer in the matter
that needs investigation.
Who Will Oct the Reward?
E. B. Hough, a constable of Collinsville,
and A. W. Kellogg, a detective of Pittsfield,
have each put in a claim for the $200 reward
offered for the arrest of the man who rob
bed Hough's store, the person proving to be
none other than Sam Pine, lately found in
Wethersfield under an alias. Hough bases
his claim on the fact that he furnished the
information that led to the arrest of the burg
lar and Kellogg made the arrest, having
found the man on a train from Albany. The
case was heard before Judge Carpenter in
Hartford yesterday. Decision was reserved.
