Blatne Comes Of Good stock.

James Gillespie Blaine, the most
prominent candidate before the Re-
publican Convention, now i'll session
ut Chicago, ome OF Revolutionary
stock. His geneology is thus given
In the American Cyclopejia
Blaine. Ephraim, an American sol
dier, born in 174l, died at Carlisle,
Penn, March, 1904. He entered the
army as colonel at the commence
ment of the Revolutionary War, and
was su subsequently, made commissary
general. He was with Washin gton
in many of the most trying scenes OF
the revolution, and enjoyed his entire
confidence. During the dark winter
at Valley Forge the preservation OF
the Continental army from starvation
was in a great degree owing TO the
exertions OF Colonel Blaine. His
grandson, James Gillespie, born in
Washington county, Penn, January
81, 1880, was for some time a teacher
at the South, afterwards a journalist
at Portland, Maine, and a member OF
the Maine Legislature from 1887 to
1852, and two years Speaker OF the
House. He was elected to Congress
in 1862, has been reelected five times,
and in 1871 was chosen Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
