The Blaine Episode.

capital 10y the days events, we take the
following from the dispatches of the
New York Times:
The first and most palpable effect
of to-day's dramatic entertainment is
The intensity which is given to the par
'lSin feeling heretofore existing con-
cernIng various rivals. This afternoon
the particular friends of Mr.. Blaine
were pale and trcmulous with excite
ment, and are aS certain AS of the rising
"i the sun tomorrow that his nomina-
tl"n 10y the Cincinnati Convention is
secured. They have never shown the
same INTENSITY of feeling and determi-
nation. They mean defeat to all other
candidates now prominent. seeming to
h"ld every man supposed to desire Il
nomination as Mr.. Blaine's personal
enemy and traduccr. His open enemies
are much more bitter and violent in
hostility than ever before. They find
IN the DISPLAY the certainty of Blaine's
defeat. and they are rendered implaca-
bile and unyieldimg 10y the taunts and
boasts OF his friends. The large class
VINO are desir"us to attach themselves
To the cause of the winning man. and
VIII" for the last tw" weeks have drifted
toward Blaine till three DAYS ago, when
they gave him up as defeated. are a
good deal disturbed and distressed.
They are all like sailors in "A fog. with
the light-ho invisible and the for-
horn unhcard. and they do not know
what course to steer.
