waited five or six minutes longer, sat
down i'm scat i'm the ladies' waiting
room, and very soon the Presidedt drove
up. He was in company With a gentleman
who, understand, was Mr.. Blaine, and
am satisfied that he was Mr.. Blaine, al
though did not recognize him. This
gentleman looked very old, aud he haG
peculiar kind of headgear on, that l did
not recognize as that Of Mr. Blaine. The
President and this gentleman drove up in
plain single seated carriage, with one
horse. This gentleman, think, was driv-
ing. 1t was a single carriage-a single
seated top buggy. The President seemed
to be in very earnest and private con-
versation with this gentleman, who evil
IDENTIFY was Mr.. Blaine. They sat in the
carriage should say some two minutes;
they had not completed their conversation
when they reached the depot, and during
the interview of two minutes they fin
ished their conversation. During this
time they were engaged in very earnest
and private conversation, as have said.
''The President got out on the pavement
side and Mr.. Blaine on the other side.
They entered the ladies' room; stood
there watching the President, and they
passed by me. Before they reached the
depot | had been promenading up and
down the ladies' room between the ticket
office door and the news stand door, a
space of some ten or twelve feet. l walked
up and down there | should say two or
three times working myself up, as knew
the hour was at hand. The President and
Mr.. Blaine came into the ladies' room and
walked right by me; they did not notice
me, as there were quite anumber Uf ladies
and children in the room.
"There was quite a large crowd OF tick
ct purchasers at the geDtlemen's ticket Of
