JUL I A S lORY ON BLOUNT A correspondent of the Savau nan News, is responsible for this spicy story on ex-M inieter Blount: “Representative Hatch, o f Mis souri, has just arrived after a !■ n* spell o f sickness. The bluff Mis souri in told this good story to ev Minister Blount, when they m«' today. Said he: “Thera is an eld gentleman in my district whom 1 mot a few days age, who wanted t<- talk about the Hawaiian matter He asked mi who is this mat Blount that was sent over tc Hawaii?

In his letter of resignation he stvs I I lint he doubts the goe I tasta of re maining at the Lead of this local , erganization, smes he has decided to ’ take a partisan interest in a State r campaign, between two Democrats. We regret the step of this bright ( and enthusiastic young Democrat, be ' cause it was unnecessary. There can be no ground for reasonable criticism under such circumstances. He could j have held both positiens with ] propriety.

We also regret to observe that he in j directly charges Mr. Atkinson with re fleeting on an old soldier, in the for me! announcement of his candidacy. ' The Commercial is not a slipperier of Atkinson, but feels that it would neg lect a plain journalistic duty did it | permit an unjust charge agains t a worthy Democrat, to go unchallenged. Mr, Cobb lias simply misinterpreted Mr Atkinson’, position That gentle man has Rot, and would not, reflect on the sentiment which is so fondly cherished by Lis people. We arj convinced that M’-.
