When Blaine was a boy, his mother,
who was living in W ashington county,
Pa, sent him over here to go to school
and he lived in Senator Ewing's fam
lily, and slept with young Tom in the
house next TO Sherman's on the cor
ner. Tom and he were playmates and
sworn friends, and stole apples to-
gether in the orchards that sit On the
hills east Of the courthouse. Blaine
lived here two years; was prepared
for college at the Lancaster Academy
and when he left entered Jefferson
College OF Pennsylvania, as q student.
After graduating there, he drifted
into Kentucky to teach school, and
Kentucky gave him his very excellent
wife. From Kentucky he wandered
off to Maine as au editor, and became
famous. When Blaine was here

BUTLER AND MASSACHUSETTS.

When a man is defeated for any
thing his first impulse is to explain
how it came about. For instance,
Ewing explained why he wasn't
elected Governor of Ohio. Robin,
son explained why he could not re-
turn to his old seat at the head of
New York affairs, the Democrats
explain how the Republican boom
came about, and now Ben Butler
bounds into the arena to explain
why he didn't get more votes than
Long. He does it thus
"But the reason I was not elected is
found in the fact hat there are about
100, 900 disfranchised citizens in Mas
sachusetts. This Commonwealth has
never had q Republican form of gov
eminent in fact, only in form; but if
/ live she shall yet have the fact as
well as the form. / am fighting the
battles OF the 100, 600 workingmen
who are denied the right of suffrage
through the educational and property
qualitications,-causes engrafted upon
our laws by the old Federal party, and
kept there by the Republican party.
Here are the figures: According to
the State census of 1875 there were
35l ,1l3 names on the tax list. The
largest number of votes ever pelled
was 258, 600, at the Presidential election
1876. Now, 258, 900 from 350, 600 leaves
90, 900. Take another fact: The popu-
lation of Massachusetts is l.652. 600.
The voting strength Of Ohio, for ex
ample,-where there are no restrlc'
tions,-is about n to four in the pop
ulation. Hence this State should have
u total vote of over 100000"
Now, this would be all right if it
wasn't false,-it would be an ex~
cellent explanation. It will be obs
served hal he begins with the broad
statement that 100000 men are de-
prived Of their franchise. After
this he spreads himself as the pecu-
liar champion of the poor, down
trodden workingman, and when
this little performance is finished he
gives figures.
He takes the tax list to gel the
number of voters in the State. This
is obviously unfair. This list com
prises women, the names of dead
men whose estates are taxed, of guar
dams of minor heirs, of corporations,
of people who live in another State
but own property in Massachusetts,,
and Of the same persons owning prop
erty in more than one district. This
part of his explanation is pretty,
but not pertinent, and his 100000
voters must be sought in another
place. He next takes Ohio as an
example, and with the figures of the
last election makes an average of
one vote to every four Of inhabi-
tants. Taking this proportion, he
figures that Massachusetts, ought to
poll over 100000 votes. This pros
portion every sane man will see at
a glance is much too high. The
real proportion in Ohio is n to
every five. In this latter State, cam.
paigns have been of the most ex'
citing character Parties and
party managers have strained every
nerve, spurreds on by the idea that
Ohio was a pivotal State, and the
result has been that nearly all those
who were eligible to vote did cast
their ballot. Then there's anothe,
fact the great "brick-thrower" has
lost sight of in his explanation. A

An American Russian Nihilist.
PHILADELPHIA (Pa.l Press

One Of the most active and energet.
ic of the Nihilist leaders in Russia is
Ivan Ofmskof, who strange to say,
has been educated in this state. About
thirty years since his father, General
Ormskof, was exiled, to Siberia, but
at the instance Of the Czarina the
punishment was committed to baEish-
ment, and the father and son came to
this country and spent several years
in W Washington City. Meeting with
Tariff Andy" Stewart, member of
Congress from Fayette county, the
General was induced to send Ivan to
Madison College, Union town. He
was an apt and diligent student, and,
after several terms, finished at an
Eastern college. When the Crimen war
broke out. through the i~ntercession of
the Russian Minister to his country,
both father and SOL were permitted to
return home, provided they would join
the army. AT ~Sebastopol the father
was killed and the son promoted for
bravery. VANS linguistic acquire.
ments rendered him of9agreat service
in negotiations. After the war he
PLEAD in vain for a restoration of the
family lands and titles, and to gain a
livelihood became professor of langu>
ages in the Imperial University.
During the late Turkish war, being
greatly embittered, he refused to fight
and fed to this country. Under the
name of Harry LOOMS he visited
Uniontown, and for some weeks was a
guest at the McClelland House. With
a woman said to have been his wife
he was, after a preliminary hearing
before Justice John Holmes, incar-
cerated in the Fayette County Jail
for refusing to pay aboard bill. After
his release he went to Pittsburg, be-
came a member ola Greenback club
and disguised conservative members
by his ultracommunistic speeches. A
year or two ago he returned to Rus
STA. Joining Nihilist, he at once be-
came one of the most active and ener
getic leaders of that terribly danger
Gus secret political party, and assum-
ed the %editorship of Land and Liberty,
the mouthpiece of the o~rgaization.
