Blaine will be made Secretary Of State, q,
with power more nearly analogous TO the
like distinction in Eurspe, than has been
enjoyed by any premier since Seward. What
Mr.. Blaine's policy will be may be easily
predicted by those who are acquainted with
bis antecedents in both houses Of Congress
and on the stump. He will, no doubt, make
an effort TO reconquer for the United States
her peaceful prestige on the seas, and, with
an accoriant Congress, his effort in this di-
rection cannot be without success Itis GER
tain that, as leader Of the Cabinet, Mr..
Blaine's ambition will have opportunities
such as he has not possessed since he was
Speaker Of the House and IL will not be re-
markable il he brings TO the next Republi-
can nominating convention, those delegates
from the late slave States who were alone
wanting to make him the standard bearer
in the late contest.
