London. .Icily I ?" Turin;; slander," soys Mr.
blaine, " by expos in ii dander is a somewhat hope?
less- task." Still lu* thinks a case h;is occurred
in which the nltcmpt. OBgfal to be made*. What
he calls, and what I call, the incredibly shameless
course of the New-York correspondent of " The
Daily News" of London toward Mr. Blaine dunns
the sitting of the C**hira<_o Convention ought, lie
thinks. *o l>e fully exposed. Some perl of lt has
hren ext<s & Ib pic \ ic u- dispate hi s. bal Mr. Blaine
promis.ii, as I telegraphed yoa some lime since,
that tln-se perfldiee eboald he fully set forth Ib
due M-:is(i:i. He (-mild not fulfil his promise
sooner, for be only reached Cluny Castle late
Kit unlay evening, and weted -0 Sunday. Thc
lettee in whkh be deals frith 'sin- mattel is dated
Memday, nnd arrived in London Weelu -silay. Two
or thn-c of "Tht* Daily News's" correspondent's
false stiiteinents mast even now eerve as eamplee
fer all Um rest, iic-ir name is legion.
Ile telegraphed to London aite;- General llarri
?on had he ti Dominated that "scarcely ii new*
paper in the United State*, except Tm: TBIBUNE,
ilenics thc- existence of Mr. Blaine'e plot t" ee
.urc the Domination tot himself." 'lins elate*
mint, is made la the face of Mr. Blaine'e two
letters deelining to bc a candidate, and of his two
telegraaM to the Convention earnestly requesting
ill fro mis to refrain from voting lor him. For
my part, I should say thal this statement night
bc taken as ? measure of i's author's accuracy.
Is lui. I-UBUNE the only l.Vpublioun |>a'>er in
thc country? That is what lu* apparently means
the English publie te) understand, and thal all
ot lui Blaine papen denounced Mr. -Haine as
plotting for a nomination which lie four times
refused. If they <1 iel, then Iel this "News" cor?
respondent, be deemed an h .nest witness.
ile farther suited that while on the coaching
tour in Scotland Mr. Blunt was known to be in
constant comniiirncation hy cable with the man- |
n;*ers m Chicago. Thal Interesting dispatch was
dateel Sunday, eluriii- the session ol the Conven?
tion. Even if the statement bad been true, its
nuthor could not have known it. The assertion
was perfectly reckless, bul it was not true. The
plain truth is that Mr. Blaine sent no telegram
whatever to any nii'inher of the Convention or to
anybody els- la Atneriea while thc Convention was
in session, except thc two which he directed to he
mcele public, and which were read to the Conven?
tion. He received t>ut one telegram during the
sitting of the* Convention, and that was in answer
to his own, notifying H> him compliance with his
request.
During thc tirst four dayl of thc Convention?
Ttic-tiay. Wednesday, Thursday anel Friday?Mr.
Blaine was coaching with Mr. Carnegie through
thc hills of Durham ami Northumberland and the
idjacent herder district of Scotland. On Wedin ny
flay he drove thirty-live miles over the Cheviot
Hills without. SMO weeing ii railway station or
tele-graph oflice. It was simply u physical impossi?
bility that he should keep in touch with the Con
ventpn at Chicago. Ile fully comprcbend-d the
real drift ol B-Iairs only when bc reached Edin
burgh late Saturday evening. Then he si'iit. the
two telegrams, which promptly stopped all possi?
bility of his nomination. These erere the two
telegrams which " Tin- News's'' correspondent eh
scribed ss having been laughed at. With a silli?
ness ijuite e.jiisil t<i his malice, he cabled to hie
paper that Mr. Blaine's telegrams were Inter
prated ta mean thal lu- expected hirs friends to go
nhcrici ar*.I nominate him, provided they could do
so without causing n rupture in the party.
It. may be further stated, without the possibility
of denial, thai after Mr. Blaine's Paris letter ol
Hay it. giving his reasons why he eould not
ne.-.-pt a nomination al nil, he wrote no political
letter of any kind to anybody in America, directly
or indirectly, and sent ne, telegrams, except the
two above mentioned, from Edinburgh Still
further, from the timi- Mr. Blaine sailed for Ku
re'|>e, la June-, lg87, lo this lu.ur. he has sent no
word to, and had no communication from any
gentleman mimed for the- Republican nomination
cxeept his telegram of congratulation to General
Harrison.
These farts, I repeat, are all given on the
dire"' personal authority of Mr. Blain.- himself.
What, then, becomes of the* trie-ks and plots when
it ls seen and proved that he who is accused of
ponooetingthem had no communication with those'
who were- in ens.-il of carrying them out ? Viv what
twist, or quibnle cnn Mr. Blaine's slanelerer in
" The Daily News'' palliate the persistent false?
hoods BOW exposed? What will Mr. Godkin say'.'
It was made known herc Asl bc sought to escape
responsibility for these- iniquities. " The Newe*1
correspondent, luis done his beat to conceal in
-London the fact of his connection with "The
Evening IVs*/ His employers In "Tho Daily
News" may know it or mn BOl : tho EngUsh
public is kept in ignorance, li rs constant quota
lions from "Tho Evening Post" would lose their
effect (it is not gnat, if his readers knew that he
w;is quoting himself, or his editor, in support, of
hinise-if pt a correspondent.
But none tho less is it true that be teamed his
peculiar style from his pr sent distinguished chief.
Mr. Blaine thinks it ougbl further to be stated that
on var.ons occasions since be bas been in Europe
this " N'-ws" correspondent hai sought to Impres?
sa the English public that the- ?? Blaine Bepubll
cans," ns be ealls them ar.- In 1 ague with the
dynamite Irish m America. As the " Maine Be
publicans" an- understood to include a large ma?
jority of the party in many States, it H.Hows thal
this pupil if Mr. Godkin has wantonly libelled m
England seme milli..ns of his countrymen in Amer?
ica. "It is but fair." mya Mr. Blaine, "that
Irish-Ann-rie-aii VOtem should comprehend this ac?
cusation uni! its source."
" The Linnie.)) Daily Sews," as the organ of Mr.
Gladstone's IIonn- Bale policy, bat never seemed
swan ol the jr m.-ns.- in my it, bas done Mr.
Glad-tsas'i own i st in saflsring its r rr - poBdenl
to ideiitiiy iis !....st iBBaential s*,nit athi/.ors in
America with dynamite conspiracies against Eng?
land. He t.ilks of "the BLaine-lrish dynamite
alliance": what would be said of anybody who
ihsaltl talk of "thc Gladstone-Jr.s-, dynamite al?
liance:" t 'lhere is precisely M much |BSt-flOBtiofl
for tin- one as tat the other, and precis Iv m little.
Nor lia, the- English public been permitted to know
that the OBCB ami SVOWSd dynamite Irishmen of
Abb lina, under the lead of O'Donovan Bi ssa, ware
bitterly hostile ts Mr. lila,nc and warmly suji
poriicl Mr. Ch-vekuxl four yean ugo, as tiny ar
confidently expected to do again.

concludes hy asking: "Is it any womler that

money. Ile had lUbKribed a small nmnunt to the
Byrne testimonial. " The great majority of tho letters

RiuericiMMi is chief eaglBSSt eif the Aurora Divi?

j Ile is ft man of influence amour;
engineers all over the country, nnd i
a man of moderate. wealth. When the
Pinkerton men were sbadswing the striken ol
Aurora, they hco.-imc convinced thal Bauerieisea
was will informed concerning nil they did. It
was even Respected that ho directed certain at?
tempts which were- m:ide to injure property. Al
soon a.! the three nun were arrested lust nigbt
iind it w.is known that newspaper publicity was
to he riven to th,- suspected plot, a complaint was
made out before ConSnlssiuner Boyne against
Hanerieisen hy Godfrey W. Rhodes. ?n ofil-er
of tho road. With a warrant for the
SrreSl Ol this WI 11-to-do cili/on eif
Aurora in bis pocket, Deputy Marshal
[ra Barcbard went, to Aurora early this murnini.,
ile went tu Baaerieisen'i imus, before th.- owner
was yet awake, sad put him auder arrest in his
own bedroom. 'I his morning Barnhard and ins
prisoner ciime to Chicago.
Two Brotherhood men from Creston, Iowa, who
Called to iee Mr. [loge ut the National Hotel this
morning, are of the opinion thal the man Howies
arrested yesterday is a Pinkerton detective. " lie
claims to he- a Brotherhood man," ssaid one of the
men, " hut I don't think ho is. We shall In?
vestigate his msc to-day and lind eu:
who he is. Ho overdid himself in
lYmmissinnor Hoyne's oilice yesterday. Hm
cry of 'outraije' nnd his yells for h..il bats
aroused suspicion.*1
When nrrested yesterday Howies demanded that
Hope and Alexander Sullivan he sent for nt once.
Mr. Sullivan was tho counsel for som--* of the
" Q." strikers who were arrester! nnd tried for
conspiracy -botfly after tin* inception of the
strike. He is alaO the attorney who was to pre
s. nt tho strikers' side of thc case in the complaint
?gaiast the ?? <>." which was filed before the
Interstate Comme-rce Commission. Mr. Sullivan
said:
" I am not counsel for these men. nnd will not

has nothing to clo with their defense and w.miM
not. if it could, prevent the pun,4"hmi'nt of any

thnt the men uro guilty. On thc contrary, the
whole story looks suspiciously like p detectives'
Conspiracy, manufactured lor the occasion. All
the accused are said to he Intelligent ni"n and
competent engineers. It is not likely that Mi'-h
mon would ri.slc carryin;: dynamite on
a railroad train for their own sake.
even if they .ire credited wit!.
no bigher lense of manhood. It looks like a manu
fact tired cum'.''
In their conversation with Hogs anel tho attor?
neys to day, the prisoners tuld a story that ilitTers
KBBewbal from Mn- published accounts Broderick
said, b'wukinG of the arrest : " We were on our way
io Chicago lu seo what chance we would have of
trcttinjr work on some Eastern road. We (rot. on
ihe train and Wilson and 1 ni together, and Ebrarli s
ml -Tone on the other side eif the car. A man, who
[ learned afterward was a Pinkerton detective,
c*?me in and s_it, beside Bowles. Whoa we w.-r,
shoat six mih-s from Aurora, this man stood np and
tapped Bowles on the shoulder, and another awn
cami* heside us sad di 1 thc esme thing and tole] us
they were detectives and bad a warrant fur us. We
did not know what- the diarite was. Then they
bandcuffed aa After we were handcuffed, Man?
ager Stone caine into tho car and then one of the
detectives reached up to the hat-neck which was
over thc seat that Wilson and I sat in ami took
down a. package wrapi>cil in a pie ce of BewspB' er.
He opcneel it, alni found tho sticks
of what they saiel wns ilynamiti'.
I never saw the package nor thc
dynamite till I saw it in thc detective*! hands. Jt
WSI not. on the scat between me and Wilson, hut
wa, taken Inun th" hat-rack hy the detective after
we were handcuffed. I threw a letter our of the
?ar wind,nv, imr it was not anything relating t^
th.' strike imf dynamite. It was io_Mthlng I did
not want, t-i nave in the pacers. They stopped the
train and one of thc detectives ran hack u milo or
two iind gol it."
Mr. Stmie- said this afternoon : " The first Inkling
of the altair I obtain rd a month ago, hut I de sir.-.l
it to ripen before I tonk any positive steps I eras
nut. however, willing tn im as far as Carter Har?
rison and |icrmit, un explosion and lom of life

wrists, he- sprang away from the- eiilie.rs and
pulling a httcr mun hi* pocket flnag it out of
th.- ear window. The train was stopped and the
hiter round ul.out. half a mile back."
" What was lil the letter :***
" Widl, I ean't my other man that it connected
Bauerir.-cn with the other tl,rc. beyond the
shadow of a doubt. Tin* dynamite ?;i> obtained

Then- have been no lem thaa

Preston, Iowa, th" last, hsving been m.nh- las!
night. No Real damsge was dime bj any of

occurred a few nights laie-r. and a lit ile way west
