Hon. James G. Blaine, speaker of the

reelected to the same position in the forty
third Congress. is native of Pennsylvania,
though representing Maine constituency.
He has won his way to this eminent posi-
ton by native industry, intellect, and
energy. There are few men of his
years better equipped for the present
emergency. A capital speaker, alike ou
the floor and in the chair, skilful logi-
clan, fine address, retentive memory, a
hard student, and of singularly winning
manners, he enters upon the new Congress
well aware of the responsibilities resting
upon him. Prudent and careful, yet reso-
lutte and quick, he will be host in the new
questions certain to grow out of the diff
culties with Spain and our financial necessi-
ties, and the increasing demands of the
people for new outlets into the West and
