ponaent of the Chicago Times
paper which never says anything
good of Republican unless there
are strong grounds TOR ii-sums up
the congressional course and pros
poets of quite number OF promi-
nent politicians. Among others he
pays particular attention TO Speaker
Blaine in the following sketch:
Among the political farmers In
the house of representative there
standj ont a solitary exception OF
shrewd sowing. Blaine has
thrown only the choicest of seeds
during the past season, and has
thrown them only on good ground.
Watch and you shall see them bear
prosperous fruit, "some ten, some
sixty, aad some an hundred fold"
Of all men who wintered in WASH
ington, Mr.. Speaker Blaine built
himself no enemies. Republican
Representatives went home believ-
Ing Blaine the one shining light of
the party. The democrats re-
marked, as they gave one another
the final goodbye that 'tBlaine
was the only white man In the rad
lcal crowd" The grangers forgave
MIR. Blaine" for giving swell re-
ceptions and wearing broadcloth,
and were unanimous that there
was something mighty nice about
him. Grant holds him so warm
ly as to make him his first choice
for the presidency whenever the
third term idea sinks in the execu-
tive brain. Every cabinet officer
ranks Blaine as his immediate per-
sonal friend, and they ran to him
all the session to untangle depart !
ment perplexities too complicated |
for their own shallow understand |
ing. His life was astonishing the |
whole session. A suave society |
! ader, he was with his charming |
family in all their principal recep-
tons and visits. Yet he glittered
at every congressional supper, and
was up, ruddy and fresh betimes,
for an hours closeting with Grant
in the morning, or a business con-
with Delano or Robson.

in his place during day and night
sessions, and his velvet and-steel
of the house was a matter
of common fame. A parliamentary

been reversed. he ruled three hun

household. OF superb mental
equipoise, his temper slipped him
