$50 far as Blaine's nomination
concerns himself it was the mistake OF
his life. He could better have afforded
to go down into history wrapped in the
drapery of Garfeld's memory, than to

his exceptional standing with the indie

ability to inspire people with the be-

serving his country and not otherwise.
The work of collecting money
from Government employees goes right
on. This matter is chiefly noticeable
because the practice Of thus raising
campaign funds is in fragrant disregard
of every profession of the party which
is engaged in it, and because it illus.

Hon. William M. Evarts made a
speech in New York CITY at Blaine
ratification meeting in which he spoke
with pride of the Presidential candi-
dates whom he had supported from
Clay to Garfield. He, however, mod
estly refrained from mentioning his
eminent 'services in promoting. the ele-
walton OF K. b. Hayes. Possibly he
may have suspicion that Hayes was
not elected President. In this view the
omission in the speech of Mr.. Evarts is
readily explained. .s.a ...esf
