Cabinet which he held in Hayes Cab
met, but III this he failed and "got mad -
and his anger was specially directed
against Mr.. Blaine, to whom he attribut-

for seat in Garfeld's Cabinet, out Mr..

Blaine. There are some men who, in
their own estimate of themselves. are
much greater than the party to which
they belong, and whose individual inter.

this class Of modest and unsef5h individ-
uals. They are now fighting Blaine as
a matter Of revenge and retaliation
that's all. Chicago Journal.

after this model. Kustrne is at present
