Mr.. Blafne, who was nominated yester-
day - the republican candidate for Pres
ident, was born In Washington county.
Pennsylvania, January 81. 1880. he
graduated 1t Washington College. in that
State, and after some experience in teach
ing. came to the State Of Maine. estab-
fishing his home in this city. and became
editor first of the Portland Advertiser and
then of the Kennebec Journal. He was
q member of the Maine Legislature in
1859. go. 81 and 's2. serving the last two
years - speaker Of the House. He was
elected to the Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth.
Fortieth. Forty-frst, Forty-secoud and
Fory-third Congress. serving in the Forty
first, the Fory-second and Forty
third as Speaker. He was re-elect-
ed to the Forty-fourth Congress. as q
member Of the House. but subsequently
was appointed to the United States Senate
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the res
ignation of Senator Lot NJ. Morrill,, to
accept the position of Secretary OF the
Treasury. He was elected to the Senate
for the ensuing term, but in 1881 resigned
his seat in the Senate and accepted the
place OF Secretary OF State in President
Garfield's cabinet.
In 1876 Mr.. Blaine was q candidate for
the republican nomination for the
Presidency, the vote for him in the
national convention mounting to 3OS.
Again in 1880 he was candidate for the
same honor and received 2S5 votes in the
convention. After the death of Garfield
Mr.. Blaine resigned his place at the head
of the State Department, retired from
public affairs, and has devoted his time
since to the writing of his Twenty Years
in Congress" now being issued from the
press and finding its readers, in every
village and town in the United States.
The following articles, both of which ap-
peared in the columns OF the Kennebec
Journal in 1880. the former written by a
gentleman in Washington, give some idea
Of Mr.. Blaine's character and the estima-
ion in which he is held at Washington
and at his home in this city.

home standing. "Ask what his friends,
Reighbors, and townsmen think of him"
said Rufus Choate, "if you want to know
what the man really is" This is exactly the
question which we propose to answer.
Mr.. Blaine has been = citizen of this place
for more than quarter Of q century, living
here since he was twenty-three years old.
Indeed his whole life as man has been iden-
titled with this people. We have known him
in every relation of life, closely and intimate
ly, through all these years. And in every
relation of life. we say in the presence of his
daily associates. Mr.. Blaine has had a spot
less career. As husband, father. neighbor,
friend, citizen, business every one in
this community, without regard to party
lines, would yield unstinted praise. In per-
uprightness. in steadfast devotion to all
ordinary as well as extraordinary duties,
Mr.. Blaine has been pattern to our young
men. He has been fortunate in life, but his
good fortune has always been the logical re-
suit of good habits and good sense; and he
has been so generous. not only with money,
but with time and sympathy, that envy and
jealousy have not followed him. He has an
elegant, refined, christian home. open to
every demand of hospitality; and there is
not poor man in town who hesitates to
enter it for relief or who goes away empty
handed.
Mr.. Blaine has always been model of
honor and uprghtness in his financial deal
iRgs. His word is as good as his bond; and no
debt was ever underpaid or grudgingly paid
or evaded by him. This whole community will
attest bis absolute integrity and liberality and
will bear witness how wisely and constantly
he has given of his resources to all good and
worthy objects.
The necessities of political campaign may
tempt mud throwers to assail Mr.. Blaine's
character; but against all such efforts We
present a man who has the universal respect,
confidence and attachment of the neighbors
who have known him throughout his whole
career, and who know that he has been
centre of good and not of evil all the days of
his life; man who has State behind him
of absolute unanimity, and who has to-day a
more devoted and enthusiastic personal fol-
lowing than any other living man in the
United States.
Thus the city of his residence sends greet.
ing to the young republicans of Massachu-
sets.

sonal unanimity in the r~porters galleries.
Ths man Of ability il sure of appreciation,
and the charissan q sure Of contempt And
among NO other class Of men has Senator
Blaine warmer admirers or more devoted
friends than are to be found in the corps OF
Washington correspondents. A journalist
himself in early life, he no doubt has fei-
low feeling for the members of that profes-
sion, and has ever been ready TO facilitate the
Oft times arduous duties of those who labor
in the Washington field. But in this direc-
ton. - in others. he has not courted
regard or sought favors - have others
who might be mentioned, who haunt
the Newspaper Offices to get their names
mentioned in the despatches, and who
furnish correspondents with reports OF
interviews in which they were both the inter-
viewer and the interviewed. Mr.. Blaine has
q good memory and does not forget those who
have done him favor. as do some public
men. One man whom We recall, attained
high station mainly through the friendly ser
vices of the newspapers, and then chose to
ignore those to whom he was indebted for his
elevation. The result proved that the press can
tear down as we'll as build up,for an organiza-
ton of Washington correspondents relegated
that man to private life eight years ago, and
there he remains. When Mr.. Blaine was
first elected to Congress and had much to
learn, the correspondent of q democratic pa
per did him some trifing service. Ten or
twelve years later Mr. Blaine put that cor
respondent in the way of obtaining impor-
tant news which he would otherwise have
missed, at the cost of q reprimand, at least
from his paper. Incidents of this nature
might be multiplied. but it is not necessary
to enter upon an estimate of Mr.. Blaine's
position in debate. his political sagacity, or
the social qualities which make him so vel
come to Washington social circles. All this
has been set forth bv others. We merely
undertook to show how strong q hold Mr..
Blaine has upon the affections of the citizens
of Washington; and to sum up the matter in
\ few words, it may be said that Washington
Is for Blaine, first, last and all the time.
