A conference of wise men has had sev-eral sessions at Washington for the pur-pose of agreeing upon a Meridian of longi-tude for the use of all nations. The adop-tion of such a line would be a great, con-venience to voyagers and geographers, or

, at least to readers and students ; but therepresentatives of every nation are prob-ably filled with the same ambition that wasonce Said to prevail in Port Kent and itsneighborhood. They want everybody elseto start from their own blessed localitywhen they propose to "put a girdle round

•bout the earth."

It took 494 ballqtings, in the RepublicanCongressional Convention at Batavia, tonominate a candidate. The nominee, then,was James W, Wadsworth.

The candidates b»llo«~aivi mum oe greatrascals to call out such tenacious opposi-tion 1

Since the above was in type we learnMr. Wadsworth declined the nominationand the convention proceeded in its bal-lotings. Finally, on the 570th ballot, JohnL. Sawyer, of Orleans Co., was nominated.During the ballotings charges and countercharges of bribery were freely made ; and

' one delegate was formally expelled and asubstitute appointed by his co-delegateB,from Wyoming county. It was a veryremarkable convention even for Republi-cans^—especially the expelling of a memberfor the alleged making of money out ofhis Opportunities !

Tie Republican party has been ip pow-er 23 years, and 19 since the war, and stillthey claim votes on a promise of "betteitimes;" demanding confidence on thescore that their success is necessary toprosperity! What has the Republicanparty been doing all that time ? Has itbeen ruining the country, destroying,complicating and embarrassing trade andmanufactures, and distressing laboringpeople and starving families, all theseyears, that they might raise this plea atthis election or1 at any and every election,for ttie cry is always heard before elections?Have fc^ey been playing with their hopesand necessities while working men havebeen struggling for the support of theirfinnilies and their wives and children havebeen suffering, hungry and crying for th<bread they could hardly earn and couldnot, often, get ? Is not twenty years along enough time for a "Republican" gov-ernment to bring about "better times," ifit wants to ? If it can't, why does it promine to do it? If it promises to do it andcan't, it's promise is a lie. Six times haveRepublicans made that promise to the peo-

I pie within twenty-four years, and now re-t peat it for the seventh time; and nevi

was "the word of promise (so often) madeI to our ear, and broken to our hope," moreI disastrously needed by working peopleI than now. But will, or can, the partyI whose promise has been but a snare, andI whose administration has but witneI the decadence, year after year, of laborI and its perquisites, perform a work or keepI a pledge within four years that it would1 not or could not during twenty-four years?I The impulsive Peter was enjoined to for-1 give the brother that sinned against himI seventy times seven times, but was at noI time required to betiew him or obey his

g behests.

The following letters .from Henry Ward1 will be read with great interest.

In. what waythe partial and imperfect Btory of that in-terview got into the newspapers' I do notknow. Certainly not with my knowledgeor privity.

flense Bend to him the following narra-ive and you may depend upon it Mr. Joywill not contradict Its substantial accura-:y; neither will any one of the severalgentlemen who were at«the table with me;nor will other witnesses (not a few) denythat the same substantial statementsbeen made by Mr. Joy to others not infre-quently. Towards the close of the dinner,Sept. 29, 1877, political matters were in.troduced, and among other things Blaine'sfailure to receive the nomination that went;o Hayes. Mr. Joy spoke with con-emptuous severity of Mr. Blaine and;ave this statement:

" When a difficulty occurred in regard,o certain lands in the Southwest in which

was interested a committee was about toe appointed by Congress to examine the

matter, Blaine being Speaker of the House,Through a friend I asked Mr. Blaine to

simply wanted a sound lawyer. In a day:>r two Mr. Blaine sent me word through» meim max ne naa certain depreciatedbonds and that if I would enable him toplace them at par I could have mymittee as I wanted it."

I cannot forget with what cutting acornMr. Joy leaned back "in his chair and Baid,

That is t/te man Blaine is,n and headded: " I refused the offer and as thecourts soon settled the matter no com-mittee was appointed,"

At that time I knew nothing of thelands in question nor of the bonds alludedto, but I did Understand hilly Mr. Joy'sopinion of James G. Blaine. Whatchanged Mr. Joy's notion and led him tonominate Mr. Blaine at the Chicago Con-vention of 1880 I do not knx^r. It canprobably be found out by inquiring of theeditors of certain great dally (who hardly found language bitter enoughfor years to inveigh against Mr, Blaimand, who now cannot find , ianguagienough to pour contempt upon the menwho do not approve of placing.

Unsound in statesmanlike judgment,unscrupulous in political methods, di:eyed in distinc.ion between truth and un-truth, absorbingly ambitious, but short-sighted as to the methods of gratifying hisambition, but with a genial social dispoBition and a brilliant rhetorical capacity,Mr. Blaine makes an alluring candidate,but would make a dangerous' President.

I pray you to excuse my idding to thecares of your canvass by a considerationof these matters^It was, however, butjust to you to point u t how misleadingwas your telegram to Mr. Joy and howirrelevant to the subject matter was hisreply. HBNOT WABD

HKNET WARD BEBOHER.

On publishing the above letter theWorld says:

BRKOHKR ON BIJUNB.The letter of the Rev. Henry Ward

Beecher> published elsewhere, is anotherterrible blow for Blaine.

Every attempt to vindicate Mr. Blaimends in his more complete discomfiture.The reason is plain and simple. Thecharges made against the unfortunatecandidate are true. The vindications arebased on falsehood and trickery.

Mr. J. F. Joy, a prominent railroadmagnate of Michigan, waB opposed toBlaine In 1878. He now seems to be infavor of Blaine.

1876 Mr. Joy thought Blaine a cor-rupt man and gave the reasons for his be-lief. In 1884 Mr. Joy desires to white-wash Mr. Blaine.

The same folly which prompted Blaineto He about his Hocking Valley interestsand which suggested the forgery of theEdmunds letter induced Gen. AJger, theRepublican candidate for Governor inMichigan, to send a cable despatch to Mr.

oy, now in London, BO carefully wordedthat an answer to It by a willing corre*spondent could be Construed into a denial:>f the charges made againBt Blaine by Joy11876. The evasive reply came.What is the sequel ? We publish to-dayletter addressed by Henry Ward Beecher

to Gen. Algef, which fixes upon Mr. Joybeyond a question the fact that in 1876 hecharged Blaine with offering to appoint acommittee of the House as Mr. Joy want-ed it, if Mr. Joy would enable him to un-load at par certain depreciated railroadbonds which Blaine then held.

No one will question Mr. Beecher'sword. The boldest Republican will notimpeach his memory or MB accuracy.

' That is the man Blaine w," was Mr.Joy's remark, "with butting scorn."

Will the people of the United States ad-vance a venal and corrupt man aB Blaineis once more proved to be, to the highoffice filled in the past by WashingtonJefferson and Lincoln? We do not be-lieve it.—The World.

MR. BEECHER WRITES AGAIN.JOY'S DENIAL CONVINCES HIM THAT THERE

ABB NOW TWO CONTINENTAL LIABS

IN EXISTENCE.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher author-izes the publication of the followingGen. R. A. Alger, Detroit, Mich.

DBAB SIB -. I have just read your letterof Oct. 9, exhorting me "publicly tore-tract your (my) statements, as you have iiyour zeal for the Democratic party, andthe Democratic nominee, spread them be-fore the whole country." When the heatof this canvass has passed you will think,that such language borders too near upoiinsult to be either just or wise. I beg ypito understand that I have nothing to d<with the truth, or otherwise, of Mr. Joy'statements to me respecting Mr1. Blaine.The only question is, did Mr. Joy makthose statements? The transactions be-tween him and Mr. Blaine, through an ib-terme(uary, may be mythical, or the inter-mediary may have been an impostor, orMr. Blaine's feelings may never have beenhurt by any such requests, and Mr. Joymay never have been shocked at Blaine'simputed answer, and Mr. Joy'g artless feel-ings, being practised upon by

Mr. Warner Miller is proving that dtorytd be true which was told of ajboy, aboutthe time that the senator was fli boy. Pos-sibly the boy was Mr. Miller hjmself. Hisfather took him on a trip. Knowing thelad's quality, the father said: ;i "If anyoneBpeaks to you, don't say anything in replyor people will see you have no sense." Atthe first place of stoppage a waiter askedthe boy '' Will you have soup ?" The childremembered what hia parent had told himand did not make any reply. "The qiicsi-tion was repeated and still brought no re-ply. "Humph," remarked the waiter,turning on his heel, "the boy must be afool." Instantly, the lad blurted out tohis father: "Pop, he's found me out,though I didn't speak a word." A corres-pondent of The Argua writes from GIov-ersville under date of Oct. 8:

Last night, in a speech here, WarneiMiller said that Mr. Blaine was the choiceof the Republican party for the last eighifears; but that he had been defeated inhe national convention by a political ring,

that the party had rid itself of that ring,and at the late convention triiinlpliantlynominated the man of its choice.

The wisdom of Mr. Miller, in character:izing the combination of political sagacityand reform spirit which twice defeated Mr.Blaine aB a ring "of which the party hasfinally rid itself,* is sd apparent at thistime, when Mr. Blaine is in urgent needof votes, as to encourage the belief that hiis the original of the little story, of whiohhis words will remind the reader.

Plain Talk About the Tattooed Can-didate.

[Special to the New York Times.]ANN AKBOR, Mich., Oct. 8.—"The most

colossal liar of the nineteenth century,'was th# name applied, to-night, to Blaineby ex-Mayor William G. Thompson, ofDetroit, in his speech at the Opera House,before the independents and Democrats ofAnn Arbor. Mr. Thompson is one of themost outspoken of all the Independentshereabout, and one of the most confide]that the Republican party will regard vic-tory as dearly paid for if Blaine should beelected president. The Republican man-agers in the State have been more annoyedby his desertion of Blaine than by anyother change that has become known inthe State. There is a good deal of dissat-isfaction in this town, and particularly inthe university. A poll was taken amongthe professors, to-day, and fourteen voteswere cast for Cleveland, four for Blaineand one for St. John.

Mr. Thompson, as mayor of Detroit,lefta record of which all its citizens speakhighly, his administration being satisfac-tory to all political parties. "As a Re-publican," he said, to-night, "I am but omof many thousands in this state who lovitheir country better than their party, amwho spurn the nomination of Blaine asutterly unworthy." His review of Blaine'scorrupt transactions in and out of congressin connection with the Little Rock andother railroads was strongly and graphic-ally made. "This record," he said, "isclear enough for any man to comprehend,and it is this man, pushed forward by El-kins and Gould and approved by the Robe-sons, the Dorseys, and other unsavorymen of the Republican parly—Star rout-ers, land grabbers, monopolists an4 adven-turers—whom the Republican party isasked to raiae to power. God forbid, forhis success would promise an administra-tion under which venality and corruptionwould flourish as they have not flourishedsince Rome fell." Mr. Thompson spoketo a large and appreciative audience thatquite filled the spacious opera house. Hewill speak nearly every day from this tim<until election, having made eighteen ap-pointments for the larger cities and towns.

ELECTION HEWS.

Reports, by telegraph, from the stateelections in Ohio and West Virginia showthat in the former the republican tickethas been elected by a majority ranging,probably, from 15,000 to 80,000; and inthe latter the democratic ticket (has suc-ceeded by from 2,000 to 0,000. Of coursemore definite results cannot be obtainedexcept from places within reach of tele-graph1 offices. In Ohio the republicansprobably gain three or four members ofCongress.

In view of the immense effort Blaineadd his peculiar friends have made InOhio—the employment of the officers ofthe general government, the presence ofBlaine and Cohorts bjf Star route speaker*and the disbursement of over a million ofdollars in subsidising the venial and buy.ing the purchasable, this result could notbe unexpected by those well informed,and affords no ground for confidence toBlaine and his friends.

There was a meeting of some clergymeni Boston, on Monday of this week.—

Among them were several ecclesiasticalpoliticians. One of them, the Rev. Dr. E.B. Webb, said he had read "the Mulliganletters" and that in his judgment they wereperfectly harmless. He asked "what arethose letters ?" and then proceeded to an-swer his own question. "They are th<•unning account of the transaction betwiMr. Fisher and Mr. Blaine covering a periocof eight or nine years and there is only on<thing in those letters that in any way toucheshis character as a public man. That is his

lling on the land grant in -the house ofipresentatives."Now we ask, is it any wonder we feel

obliged to keep these "Mulligan letters"before the people ? When a minister whoh#8 acumen enough to acquire possessionof a divinity title, makes a" statement likethe above, is it not time to in iBt that thepeople shall examine the proofs for them-selves ?

The Rev.; Dr. Webb has not caught eveithe film of the story. The "ruling" in it-self, whether right or wrong, is not at allessential to the proof, nor has: it been soised. These are some of the vital points:

(1) Mr. Blaine said in congress, April24, 1876, before he knew that his letterswere still in the epistolary flesh, that henever had received a Little Rbck bond asa gratuity or at any other price than tinregular market rate. His own memoran-dum, hiB letters, and those of his friend,Mr. Fisher, prove that he did receive, foi

Dthing, many bonds as a cortWission.(2) Mr. Blaine said in congress, on the

same day, that be never had |een in busi-ness relations, directly or indirectly, im-mediately or remotely upon ^ny railroadmatter with Thomas A. Scott. His ownletters and his friend, Mr. Fisher's, provethat he sold him$ 100,000 of thje Little Rodbonds, and that he at on6 thjne proposed

slling him $300,000. j(8) Mr. Blaine proposed toll secure for

friend $425,000 worth of fstock in thiNorthern Pacific, and 275,000iacres of thepublic domain for the small slim of $25,-000, by meanB of his official position.

(4) Mr. Blaine offered the ijise of his^ of-ficial position to secure a national bank f oisome private parties. '!

(5) Mr. Blaine alluded to hia /ruling" iithe land grant matter,as a reason why MiCaldwell Should let him have a certain in-terest in the construction of the road af-fected favorably by the "ruliDg."

When Dr. Webb so weaves these factsthat they harmonize with "scrupulous in-tegrity," we will give him some morepoints.

COMPARATIVE VERACITY.

Blaine's "Dear Fisher" is receiving un-kind treatment at the hands of Blaine'sfriends. Here is the Tribune's handful of'

iud:Warren Fisher, a railroad sharper and

broken-down trickster, is now broughtforward with the companion lie to Mulli-gan's about Blaine's having gone on hisknees to him to get back his letters<Fish-er'B story is that Blaine offered him $10,-000 for his letters. The anti-Blaine mud-slingers seem seriously to expect theAmerican .people to believe this simply be-cause Fisher says it.

Well, why shouid not the American peopie believe Warren Fisher rather thanJames G. Blaine ?

Biaine was certainly convicted of false-hood when he stood up in the Houa^ ofRepresentatives and appealed to, fortymillions of people with a string of un-truths long enough to reach them all.

Blaine was surely convicted of falsehoodwhen he gave utterance to the unblushingflb that he never owned a share in theHocking Valley enterprise.

A convicted Bar ought certainly riot tobe believed in preference to a man whohas never yet been; detected in an untruth.Indeed, by refusing to supply Blaine witha ready-made false character for honestyand integrity, to be used to deceive .theCongressional Committee, Mr. Fishergave proof pf his truthfulness and .showsthat his word deserves credit.

No one doubts that Blaine did offer$10,000 for the proofs of his corruption

Besides, Blaine, with allhis mendacity, has not yet denied, f f r

The Pension Bureau in Politics.

(From the New York Times, Oct. 9th.)Commissioner Dudley has been unable

to dispose of the appropriations for arrearsof pensions which he has asked for aobtained because, as he said, the forcehis office was insufficient to examine a—pass upon (he applications on file morerapidly. Now, this overworked official,with a part of hia inadequate force, has diserted the loaded files at Washington,wittheir accumulated applications, ftnd gor.to Ohio to do political word of a particu-larly contemptible kind. This seems tcconsist in working on the hopes and feareof veterans to induce them to vote forB'aine under the pretense that it will hast-en and secure the payment of their claimIt is only by an unjuBt discrimination thatit can do anything of the kind, and thisprocess of political coercion and blackmailis taking up time which might far betterbe spent for the benefit of waiting pen-sioners in Washington. M>. Dudley itusing the last dayB of his career as Com.missioner of Pensions in spoiling a, failrecord, and he is doing it very effectually.

AS INFAM0ITS FRAUD.

It has been known for BOme time thatthe-supporters of Mr. Blaine have growndesperate as the accumulating evidencesof their candidate's worthlessness havedestroyed all hope of hiB success,now belive that they are mad.

What but insanity can have prompte<the gross mutilation of a letter written bjSenator Edmunds in reply to the in-quiries of a Blaine politician, so that inits published form it became a forgery,bearing a meaning the exact reversethat conveyed by the genuine letter ?

Surely any sane man must have knownthat the forged lie could not escape de-tection; that an upright, conscientiousman like Senator Edmunds would not al-low himself to be represented as indorsingElaine's blistered public record withouirefuting the slander.

The same desperation which sent thiTattooed Knight of the White Feath<wandering through the country beggingfor money and votes, as he once beggecto MnW0on *<** momy, might have sug.gested the utterance of the mutilatod auCforged Edmnnds letter within a few dayeof the Selection, when there wouldbeen a chance that the infamy might g<unexposed. But to attempt such an actwhile time remained for its exposureseems like the work of a lunatic.

Just look at it. Mr. Edmunds was ques-'tioned as to the truth of a report that inletter to a friend written in 1880 he hacexpressed the opinion that Blaine actedthe attorney of Jay Gould, and had saidthat Blaine was alwajts jumping up,ket in hand, from behind the breastworlof Gould's lobby, to oppose legislatioidesigned to bring the Pacific railroads t<terms of equity with the Government.

How did Senator Edmunds reply? Hereplied that he could not have said Mr.Blaine was the attorney of Jay Gould, anadded:

/ presume it is true, althd I can find ntcopy of the letter, that in 1880 I did write

e constituent adversely to the nomination•of the gentleman named [BLAINE} and I be-• lieve it to be true that he was on the side ,tJie Railroads in the struggle of 1878, andis my belief that I said so.

The Blaine mutilators and forgers sup-pressed this paragraph confirming" thetruth of all that this material in there-port, and made Senator Edmund's repljread as follows:

I am sure that I never wrote or said thatthe gentleman you refer to " acts as theattorney of Jay Gould," for I am not con-scious of having thought so. As I havepublicly stated, I expect to vote the Re-publican ticket. Yours truly,
