THE INNOXIOUS VIPER
Mr. Blake was the subject of a number of scurrilous articles in the Mail, and of several scandalous speeches by Conservative leaders. The charges, in so far as they concerned his private character, affected public opinion only against those who uttered them. In a speech at Teeswater, Mr. Blake replied in dignified and scathing terms to these criticisms.
