Blaine pats General Grant on the back
and says that criticism Of his military
career Is but idle chatter in the face of an
unbroken career of victory. He com
mends Grants courage, fertility of re-
source and his constant readiness for a
fight. He caps the climax of his eulo-
CYSTIC remarks by saying that in self-con-
troll Grant exhibited perfection. With
the happy faculty of neatly steering
around a corner Mr.. Blaine does not com
pletely ignore John A. Logan but his re-
marks are characterized as much by their
brevity as their generality he closes
half dozen lines about the Illinois states
man with the painfully general observation
that his ardent patriotism and ambitious
temperament carried him into the war,
where his brilliant career is known and
read of all men" OF General Sherman
he can afford to speak in more elaborate
praise. After abiding to his great ac-
q~uirements of practical knowledge during
his checkered civil career, of West Point
graduate, banker in California, lawyer in
Kansas and president of a college in
Louisiana, he says of him:
He has made a special study of the
geography and products of the country.
Some one has said of him, that If We
should suddenly lose all the maps of the
United States We need not wait for a fresh
survey to make new ones, because General
Sherman could reproduce a perfect map
in twenty four hours. That this a par
donable exaggeration would be admitted
by n one who had conversed with
General Sherman in regard to the topo-
graphy and resources of the country from
Maine to Arizona"
There seems to be no doubt hat the
generally received opinion that Blaine's
book was intended to be a literary boom for
himself for the presidency, was pretty
near being a center shot. Palayer is a
great resource Of Mr.. Blaine. He makes
every effort to conciliate those who are not
likely to stand in the way of his presi-
dental aspirations, but who yet have sufi-
Gent influence to materially aid in boost
ing him towards the White house. He
damns with faint praise those of his own
political faith who have aspirations to the
same distinguished honor. Altogether
Mr.. Blaine complete work may be ex-
pected to be q peculiar mosaic, sufficiently
interesting to be read by the masses yet,
with the grand object of Blaine and his
boom constantly and c~oyertly permeating
the entire context. A very plausible
man, indeed, is Mr.. Blaine, of Maine.

Of the causes which led to the great po-
litieal revolution of 1860. Conkling's
name appears frequently in the latter por
ton Of the book and is oftentimes
mentioned in connection with compliment
