Li t me give the Capital some “ill
side” facts.
Mr. Itlaino never forgives a man
who has aspirations which conflict
with his own ambition. Mr. Ham
-on has aspired to the Presidency
when ho knew that Mr. Blaine
wanted the nomination. Four
years ago lie was a delegate to the
Chicago convention. During the
convention there was talk of start
ing a movement for Harrison’*
nomination. As soon as Harrisdn
tonud out about it he—what? In
siste] that it must stop? Declared
his loyalty to Blaine? Nothing of
the sort, lie took to Iiis heels and
tied to Indianapolis, >o that the con
vention might not ho embarrassed
by his presence in making him and
not Blaine the candidate. Do votl
suppose tins little fact Escaped Mr.
Blaine’s notice? Do vou imagine
from w hat you know of the man
that it was ciiculatcd to make him.
feel very cordial toward the Indiaa
a; ohs statesman?
During the canvass Mr. Blaiue
brought a suit for lioel against the
Indianapolis Sentinel and employ
ed Mr. Harrison’s law firm to proso
f,ute it. AB. r the election Mr.
lllaine had tie suit dropped, ami
gave bis reasons in a letter which
declared that lie could not get jus
tice in the court* of the State, an l
tiius insulted the whole population.
i icuer was, ci course, an ores,seu
to Mr. Harrison. It had obviously
been written in a lit of passion. It
was hardly conceivable that Its ail
thor could have intended that it
should bo made public, as it must
inc vitally hurt him with the peo
ple of I mi i«na.
But what happened? Did Mr.
Harrison keep the letter to himself,
and in asking for a dismissal of the
suit rest content w it h a simple state
ment that his client had concluded
to drop Hie matter? N ,t at nlU
When ho got the letter, he declared
that it was an outrage; that it re
flected upon hint as the counsel cm*
pl-iyed to prose ute the suit;*|that
he had always believed Mr. Blaine
was a coward and now lie knew it,
and so on—all this in the hearing
of witnesses, who naturally remem
