THE REPUBLICAN LEADER.
Urquestionably James G. Blaine
W Il be the leader Of the Republican
minority III the House, aud a right
hveiy leader he viii make. H, Is a.
quick as chaiu-l;g!.tniug, as witty aud
puugent as VOltaIre, aud ~ uusc-uDu-
lou- as the devil. He possesses an
almost supernatural knowledge of the
ri e4 through his long experience a.
ruler of e House. He is yerv braiuy,
this man B,aine, aud when he has his
legs aud Is after man, he can give
with mis- lett hand in vIl.ifylng and oon-
signing an opponent to eternal lnfslny.
He was the one man IN the House who
could pierce Ben Buffers brass and
prov the marrow of the Ess@X states
mans bones until he was ready to roar
for mercy. B II Bntlcr viii lot be IL
the next House, so Blaine will really
have no man TO contest the leadership
with him upon his side Of the house.
The Republican minority Will be
more compact than was even tue M
jnrity in the last Congress. There
were then too many leaders. Th,'re
was no Oae man strong enough among
them all to wreSt the leadership from
the hands of the children Of mediOc-
Titv, rap them upOn the heads Of them
impudeDce, and then assume the daunt-
less, irresistible sway of them that the
despotIsm of brains and megaet,c pow
- never fall 20 give.
Although Blaine Is az Thoroughly
hated a5 all mAu rf superior natural
abilities are mated by the groundi'nBs,
yet his readiness, intense vitality,
strong magnetic c power, make him
great rs ii lead,r IL att0cklnS some
