himself for q tremendous effort by

WHATEVER tlse can be truthfully
said of Blaine, who has just been
crushed IN the highest ambition of
his life. it must be admitted that he
made the most brilliant series of
speeches Of any public man of this
country. 1t was evident for two
months before the election that
Blaine himself realized that al! his
hopes were suspended by very slen-
der thread, and he nerved himself to
the highest tension Of mental effort.
IIad his public life been as pure as
it shoald have been, his great ability
would have swept him into the white
house with Irresistible force Le-

IT WAS really too bad in Genera
Sanborn to give away that little ar

church and Mr.. Blaine, whereby the

vote for Mr.. Blaine as matter Of
penance. If another schism should
be the result, and 4 new sect, 1.-The
Blaine Catholics" should become an
established fact, what weiKd become
OF our unhappy country! Would the
