Jim blaine, he said. would kill himself before
this session was over. He was altogether too
anxious. He hadn't learned that If a man
wanted anything In this country he must AT
least seem not to want IT,. lie was only an imi-
tator OF Grant anyhow. Blaine had come out
for hard money, but II was not until long after
Grant had made his hard-mOney speech on the
veto. Grant made his Des Moines speech, and
the next thing comes Blaine trottinR along with
his constitutional amendment In the wake OF
Grants leadership Grant was always surpris-

Did YOU see Hdrpcr's Weekly on the third term ?
Now, | am going to make a prediction - George
William Curtis - going to get out Of there. not
witbstauding his elegant English and hne writ

third term, and he wouldn't do It, and Mast
makes that paper, and not George Will I'm Cur
tis IL won't do to have the pictorial and the
editorial clash. Mast has got more political
foresight than all the rest 4 them put together
anyhow, and the Harpers don't care as long as
they can make money, notwithstanding they are
Ncthodists. | am going To pray for Grants re-
nomination, he said, because he IL sound on tho
schools, on the currency, and can hold tho
south. what would Jim Blaine do " he was
President. aud the South should Kick up an
in-urrectionY Why he would have to run to
