Mr. Maine's Marriage
Mr. Dlalue Bays of bis marriage, that
' we were, In the presence of chosen
and trustei friend, united by what I
knew was, .In my native state .of Penn
sylvania, a perfectly legal form of mar
riage." Tniswas en June 30, 1850, in
Kentucky. He does net explain tlie
mede of marriage, but any form of mar
riage 1 geed under Pennsylvania laws.
It only needs tobe proved. Mr. Blaine
discovered that the Kentucky laws re
quired n license te make a marriage
valid; therefore became te Pennsylvania
in March, 1851,uud was married In Pitts
burg by a clergyman no publication,
however, bslnjr made of this ceremony.
In the following June a child was born.
Clearly, if Mr. Blaine's story is true, lie
did nothing blameworthy. But if he is
as innocent as his statement shows, why
did he net meet the accusation against
him with hli simple story in the first
instance V Why did he leap into a suit
for libel te defend himself against the
Imputation founded upon the discovered
fact that he was married in Pittsburg
in March and had u child born te him in
Juue V
Mr. Blalne puts en an air of injured
innecence which it does net become him
te assume when lie admits that he was
secretly married twice and has te con
cede that the Qrst marriage was un
known te the public, until he new re
veils It. Mr. Blaine's biography even
does net record the marriage Mr.
Blaine new claims in Kentucky. It
ciedils him only with the Pittsburg
fliarriage, us we understand the facts.
Why then should the Indianapolis isenU"
ncl or nny one else be supposed te knew
or the undiscovered Kentucky cere
meny 'I Obviously, when disagreeable
reports came te Mr. Blaine's ears founded
upon the date of the Pittsburg marriage,
it was his duty, if he wanted te still
them, te tell of the previous Kentucky
ceremony. If he had done se, there
would have been no particular Induce
ment te disbelieve him. But when he
prefers te sue for libel these who have
charged him with wrong doing, in
ignorance of n ceremony which he kept
secret, there is cause te suspect that
there is something fanciful about the
Kentucky marriage; a suspicion that
is net allayed by his failure te name the
witnesses who he sas were presiu' at
it. tT"3WITMm .. . i,...
Mr. Blaine falsifies se naturally that his
own word Is proof of nothing. He is a
sharp fellow ; and it is net te be easily
assumed that he would have lived for
thirty jears under the imputation
which lie new repels, if he had nil the
time at his command the full refutation
of it f upplied by the fact of n Kentucky
mucriugeiu 1S50.
The Characlcr.er lllnlue's Campaign
General Grant has cilled upon Mi.
Blaine, who has arrived In "New Ymk
en his projected tour Ohie ward. Mi.
Blaine greeted G ea.Grant very eff uli ely,
nnd was evidently delighted te have him
call upeii and give liim the benefit of his
adhesion. A few months age Gen. Giant
would have been u very valuable ad
herent, but lie has been tee completely
used up m the Grant k Ward crash te
be of any use hereafter in influencing
public opinion.
Mr. Blaine d:w net made a very bril
liant start upon his pilgrimage,! and has
crept into New Yerk without the sound
of a drum. An elaborate pregramme of
travel has been laid out for his west
ward progress, :iud. i powerful elTrt is
te be made te stir up the enthusiasm of
his adherents during his progress. This
evening he la serenaded in Xew Yerk,
where he will speak. On Moe lay the
Union league of Philadelphia 15 te take
him in hand, and en Tins las he
returns te Xew Yerk, where the
Union League there will exhibit him.
Then he starts westward ever ihe
Xew Yerk Cdiiti.il railroad, and ova
tlens will adorn Ins deliberate pregri's
He will get into Ohie in about a week,
jfnd after si few days there will withdraw
by way of Pittsburg through Pennsyl
vania, his eastward pi egress being
determined iiiitsclmraeterbv the u i'.he
of thu,Ohie result.
It Is high time Mr Blaine wan dlr
rinp; up his canvass. , Sj far it hat been
a very hum-drum affair. We ctrainly
expected a pyrotechnical cam, i'gn
from his nomination j but .11! his
wealthy friends seem te be " brehn " in
pocket as badly us he is in spirit, and no
cash or enthusiasm has as yet been let
loose.

About 'J o'clock Friday nfternoen the
Bheck of an carthquake was felt distinctly
in many of the larger buildings of Olevo
laud, Ohie. At the Prtst otlleo there
seemed te batwoerthrco sudden swayings
of the brick building, and the tables
waved en the tloer se as te Interrupt
writing. The motion was from west te
ca3t, and was confined te two or thrce
roekings, tlnally subsiding and d)ing
away in .1 sort of tremor. The shock
was felt at the Cleveland, Columbus,
Cinclnnnttl ti Indiauapelis railroad
fi eight house, whero chairs danced about
and gas fixtures swayed violently.
Puller's carpet-beating works rocked
violently. Persons sitting faelug north
wcre shaken iu their chairs and much
startled. The attaches of the signal her
vice station felt the shocks, agreeing that
they wcre thrce in number, and in duration
from tlftccn te thirty seconds. Sergeant
Line was busy at the time, and was skepti
cal at tlrst. Assistant P.iyne timed the
shock at thirteen minutes te 3 o'clock,
local time There are ue instruments at
the station which weatd roeonl the vibra
tien. Anether operator at the office, who
was balancing bis ehalr en two legs, in
just the proper position, was nearly thrown
from his s;at.
The mass of tolegraph wires in front of
the offlee window were perceptibly agitated
Dy the shock, t. A. Ceuurn, an architect
et the Ulaokstuce block, was iu the tlfth
isterj of the building, aud said he thought
the structure would tumble. Several
buildings are reported injured. Large
sections of plastering fell from the ceilings
of the new pest oltice building. The shock
appeared te chase across tbe eity like a
streak of lightning. Oq ene street it was
severe, while two b'ecks away it was net
felt at all.
The earthquake was general throughout
the lower L ifee region. The shock was felt
at Akren, Canten, Columbus, Postena,
Dailaucc, Teledo, North Amherst, Cecil,
llellofeutaino aud ether points throughout
Northern Ohie. It did net extend south
of Columbus. At Teledo pictures, furn
iture and household goods wcre thrown
from the shelves. At Cecil goods wete
thrown from the shelves, In the depot the
pssseugers rushed out of the building,
thinking a train bad crushed into it. In
West Cleveland, the shock was mero
se cre than in any portion of this city. A
mgnt watenman was awaitcncu lrem a
sound sleep, aud, fearing tbe end of the
world was at hand, rushed into the street,
and, tailing upon his knees, began te
pray.
Wemen and ch Idren ran into the atreets
crying bitterly. At Hockpert a farmer
who was riding aleug in his carriage, was
thrown te the ground and his wagon was

A few minutes before 3 o'clejk Thurs

the Uee Line 1 met iu Cincinnati received
1 dispatches from the operators all alenjr
that read from Cincinnati te Lafayette,
Ind,, inquiring if tbe oatihiuake shock
had been felt in Cincinnati, and stating
that it had been perceptible at tbe offices
from which the inquiries w cre sent. About
3 o'clock, Cincinnati time, the oporater
parcpivcd a slight tremor in the building.
The same thing was noticed iu various
efllcea in the city, but was net attributed
te tbe carthquaLe until telegraphie dis
patches from the West had coma in.
It was quite different in some of the
suburbs iu Cincinnati. Iu Cliften the
agitation was se violent as te ring bells en
tables, and in 6ome instances ou doers.
At Cummlnsville, iu the Northwestern
ward of Cincinnati, the tremor was felt se
distinctly as te cause quite an alarm, net
only 111 the publie pchoels, where the
pupils wero with difficulty kept in their
seats, but also in private houses. The
bouse of Captain Frazier, of Cummins
vllle, was violently shaken, se that the in
mates beoame alarmed.
In the Mornicgten school house, iu the
Northeastern part of Cincinnati, an agita
tien was felt, whish was recognized at
once by tbe teachers as being caused by an
eartbquake. Here, tee, it required all
the authority of the teachers te avoid a
panic.

A shock of earthquake was distinctly
felt iu Teledo, 0-, at, 2:20 Trlday afternoon
and lasted lifteen seconds. The uoise
rcsembied thatef a distant blast. Reports

Ne damage was dene, but the shock
fughteucd many persons. Iu seme le
calities, particularly in high buildings, it
was mero noticeable than in ethers. All
aleug Qnsweld street the check was felt
very distinctly, aud meu rushed into the
street, looking about anxiously as if ex
pecting the buildings te fall upon them
The shock lasted from ten te 20 seconds,
aud there was a swaying motion that
nttted windows and shook chandeliers,
lleat captains say there was a uoticeabie
rise iu the river at the same time. At the
tclepbeQO office no shock was felt, while
in the Bime building, acrejH the hallway,
it was very peroeptihle. Tne empleyes of
the Whitney Organ company assert that
the building vibrated at least fourteen
inches. In the Western Union building

that Mrs. Moreslul was se worked up ever
her daughter's elopement that she made
three attempts at suiolde. On Thursday
morning of last week alie swallowed

her about the heuse for hours, until she
recovered. The samu cvnnlni. i, nr

Under the inspiration of the "platltude"
that " the second sober thought of the
pcople is alwnys cfllclect and uever
wrong," it was thought that Martin Vau
Bureu would certainly be nominated for
prwidcnt in 1314, bat it is well known
that his chances were " foreshortened"
by the adoption of the (doubtfully demo
cratic) " twe-thlrd rule." in the Baltimore
convention. Of course, that matter new
belongs te the history of the put ; but
seme of Its coincidences may serve te
illustrate the peculiar evolutions of parti
san politics for along time te ceme. Ou
the occasion referred te. a siicculatinir
juute essayed a "corner' in song books
adapted te the caneidicy of Van Barcu,
which could net possibly be adapted te the
candidacy of Polk. Then the anta;onUtie
party mamfestcd any amount of sympathy
for the Van Ilurenitcs, and vowed it " au
everlasting shame" that such a mau
as Van Huren sben'd be everslaughed
for the sake of such a man' as
James K. Polk ; and, very disin
terestedly suggested the withdrawal of the
latter from the presidenti.il ticket. In be
half of the former, and, ue doubt there
were many unsophisticated Democrats
who were in sympathy with these h po
litical professions, just as there may be
new, iu roferenco te the withdrawal of
Gov. Cleveland. The object then, was
the same as that which dominates the
suggestion note. The adversaries of Gov.
Cleveland are mero solicitous about Bayard
and Thnrman, and Flewer and Butler,
than they are about their own "Plumed
Knight." If they are se anxious about
the welfare of the Jetnocratie party ami
its relations te the presperity of the ceuu.
try, why don't they withdraw Blaine, and
substitute ene of the above illtreated men
instead? They probably contemplated a
corner in "bloody shirts," that new cauuet
be made available, henea their crocedilj
sympathy with the Democratic masses.
One would suppese that such lumini as
the New 1 erk Sun, Jehn Kelly, and
Tammany ought te be able te sce the pith
of this " wondrous interest for a stran
ger." When will Damecrats Iearn te
knew that the party's legally expressed
trill cannot be tot aside te please the
party's enemies ?
This "belittlcing process Triueii hiui be bo be
ceme be fashienable in modern political
canvasslnz when discussinc the merits of
opposing candidates, may altvayu be taken
as a pretty sura sign et the personal weak
ness In the candidates of theso who resort
te it as a weapon of aggression or deience.
The fact that Grever Cleveland wag elected
governor of the most populous Ptate in tl.e
Cnien by such an overwhelming majority
a majority greater than had ever been
cast for any governor since the foundation
of the Ameriean Union, was anything but
dotirable te the Republican party, and
when it became unalterably manifest it
immediately east about for means te break
the force of sueh a popular nomination ;
and its first efforts were spent In the bo be
httleing process of assailing private char
actor. Taking it for granted that this had
wrought its damaging effect, it affected te
see mero worthy candidates in theso it felt
confident it could mero easily defeat, and
hypocritically began te suggest the with
drawal of a name that bad been endorsed
by a conventional acclamation. It was
praotieally an attempt te ignore the Domo Demo Dome
cratio convention by making the nomina
tions itself ; and making them, of course,
it would seek its opponents among theso
it deemed the weakest .1 false decoyieg
bait, at which, psrehance, a few Demo
cratic gudgoeus may "nibble or bite."
Admitting for tbe sake of illustration
that Governer Cievelend is, symbolically,
only a hiokery scavenging brush, he will
be mero efficient in cleaning out the sinks
and sewers of fraud aud corruption than
such service could ba accomplished by the
most elaborately wtenizht hair or teeth
brush. Admitting even, en the same
premises, that he is a thief ; tbieves have
bctu tbe most oflieleut instruments iu
catching thieves, from tbe times of Jena
than Wild down te the present day. We
knew he is net au angel : nor is it neccs
sary that he should be, iu dealing with the
administrative elements of the govern
ment in its present ambiguous condition.
It will yet be a long time before an angelic
man is needed for president of theso United
States.
Again, te these who have beeu voters for
the past fifty years, it is something re
frcsbingly new te find the party that has
always been antsgonistie te tbe Demoeratio
party of the country manifesting any
kind of political sympathy for the Irish
man. If Irishmen are decoyed into tbe
support of the Republican candidates
through such sympathetic sophistrics,they
cannot possess that honest quickness of
wit, which has heretofore been se fitely
accerutu tnem. Any nenest Irish laberer,
meobanie, mercbant, farmer or profes
sional mau, must certainly bee that he has
nover been able te acquire anything for
which he has net been required te render
an equivalent, no matter what system of
tax or tariff prevailed ; and he must also
have seen that all exoise laws affect all
who live under them alike ; se that no Bet
of men under a republican government
can possibly enact oppressive laws that
wilt net equally oppress themselves j and
yet the Hepublleau twaddle about eppres
slve or anti tariff laws are presented in
such a way as te Ieave the Impression that
tbe Domecratio party proposes laws that
mourn rum me uustness interests of the
country, just as if they could ruin their
oeuutry without ruining themselves.
Ann tney expect tbe Irish masses te
shut their eyes and swallow thU twaddle
by voting for Blaine and Legan. About
every twenty years a great business and
financial crisis has occurred in this coun
try ever since the foundation of the United
States government, with partial Intermo Interme Intermo
diate disruptions. We have lived through
half a dozen of these financial events, and
it would be safe te say that net oae of
them was ever said te be brought abeu
through tariff laws. It was always attri
buted te overtrading, reckless speculation,
iudividual profligacy and intensified by
offleial thieving. Tariffs de, doubtless,
some times effect busiuers interests, but
these Interesta are diverse, seattered ever
the entire country, and never can become
strictly party measures. What the oeuntry
new most noeds la honest and effloient
officers and an impartial ,and onergetie
administration of the laws. It devolves

me by bringing te view tbe simple thread
of truth which is concealed in this eudlejs

otherwise might seem objectieuabir. I

lcisure hoursef today, when our campaign

gives me the opportunity for this prompt
reply and for the following esseutial de
tnils :
At Georgetown, Kentucky, in the uprin
of 1343, Vihcn l was but 18 ynars of age, I
first met the lad v who for mero than tbirt v
reur years has been my wife. Our acquaint
ance resulted, at the end of six meuthr, iu
an engagement, which, without the pros
pect of speed marriage, v,e Laturallj
later, iu the firing of 1850 when 1 waa
maturing phus te leave my profession u
Kentucky aud establish myself elt-cwhere,
1 was suddenly tummeued te PoniiEjl PeniiEjl
vania by the death of my fa'her. It being
very doubtful if 1 oeuld return te Ken
tucky, I was threatened with nn indefinite
separation from her who peascsse 1 my
entire devotion. My ene wish was te secitre
her te myself by au iudissoluble tie aga-ust
oery possible contingency iu life, uud '
the JUth day of June, 1350, just prier te
my departure from Kentucky, we w ere, in
the presence of ohescu aud trusted friends,
united by what I knew was, in my native
state of Pennsylvania, a perfectly leal
form of marriage.
On reaching home 1 found that my
family, and especially my boreived
mother, strongly discouuteuaueed my
business plans, as involving tee !ej; a
separation from home and kindred. I
complied with her wish that I should re
sume, at least for a time, ray oceupitien
in Kentucky, whither I returned in the
latter part of August.
Daring the ensuing vrin'.er, ." Inccd b

of our 11. .-riage by rc:u-n of ueu com

appear otherwise by the wicked devices of
men. It brought te me a companionship

sacrilegious hands.
As a candidate for the prcsiden , I
knew that I should onceuntor many f mm
of calumny and personal defamatieu but I
confess that 1 did net expect te be called
epen te defend the name of a beloved and
honored wife, who is a mother and a
grandmother ; nor did I oxpeet that the
grave of my little child would be cruelly
deiccrated. Againat such gross forms of
wrong the law gives no adequate redress
and I knew that iu the end m . mas.

eutrage which 1 resist must be te the
neble manhood and neble womanhood of
America. 1 our frond, very sincerely.
