WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The
following is a brief outline OF
Blaine's eulogy. After an elo-
quent reference to the tragical end
Of Garfield he traced at length his
history, showing bis descent from
Puritan and Huguenot stock, the
struggles of his early life and the
successes # his more mature years.
He reviewed his career as teach
or, a military officer and iegisla-
tor. In depicting his career AS
Congressman the speaker gave him
commanding position as IA de.
batter aud a man of intellectual
power, while denying him the abil-
lilies Of a great parliamentary
leader. The whole tenor of his
character was opposed to the sub.
ordination of every consideration
to party purposes characteristic OF
party leader. He had left, how
ever, u greater and more enduring
monument. His speeches on the
reconstruction question, constitu-
tional amendments, finance, and
all the great questions of his day
constitute vast magazine of fact
and argument, of clear analysis and
sound conclusion. At the begin
ming of his Presidential life il
was not agreeable to him. He
said: az have been dealing
with ideas all my life; now
lam dealing with persons. I have
heretofore been giving my atten-
ton to tho fundamental principles
Of government. Now l am coDsid.
ering all day whether A or B shall
be appointed to Office" Neverthe-
less he devoted himself assiduously
to the duties of his office and
showed unexpected administrative
ability. He was honestly seeking
to correct the evils Of the civil
service system and had he lived a
comprehensive change would have
been proposed by him, and proba-
bly, with the assistance of Congress
have been carried into effect. He
earnestly desired to reconcile sec.
tioual differences and it was
his intention to have visited the
South and seek TO bring about
increased harmony of feeling.
From the beginning to the end OF
the controversy with political
leaders in which be was engaged
during his brief tenure Of Office he
was never actuatsd by any desire
Of gain to himself. Least of all did
he hArbor revenge. and he rarely
showed resentment. There was
