The Kind of a Man Mr.. Blaine Ia.


The hold which Mr.. Blaine has upon his
contemporaries, the public men OF this eOan.
try, is not so strong as the hold he mas on ms
cotemporaries, the people. Mr.. Blaines Diooa
is not "blue;" it is popular. Mr.. Blaines man
ners and spirit are not reserved, but genial
and generous. Public men are highly veined
with the common frsilties Of our nature. They
are apt to dislike man who 10 too confound-
eddy popular. They can enjoy those beneath
them better than those above them. Hence
the politicians do net universally admire
Blaine; but it would be hard to name man
since Henry Clay, who creates such enthust-
asm among the masses as that man ikom
Maine" This is not blind sdorationi for they
are aware that Mr.. Blaine's impetnoslty nae
sometimes misled his judgment and that no
has made some mistakes In long careers
who has not? But they are equally wen
aware that his sympathies are popularg MS
purposes sound and that in the long run IS y
in Judgment and self-poise unriValled. bako
MANY men in the heat of debate, Mr.. blslho
is one man, very BoaDerges in impetnossy'
