Rlaine'S Strength.

Mr. Blaines great popular strength is
a mystery to the commonplace They
say he is a rascal and deluder, and they
say truly: and yet the people like him.
Why it should be SO they cannot tell, but
the fact is beyond dispute.
The people like Blaine partly because
he is hearty, cordial, unaffected, agree
able man. Nobody can be in his sObiety
for half an hour without being entertain
ed and impressed. He is vivid, genial,
and unaffected. Even when he is acting.
he is true to nature and carries his audi
tor along.
As party man Blaineis just as whole
souled as be is in a coterie of his cronies.
He is for the regular nominations every
time, and nobody ever heard him talk of
bolting the ticket. Though he was too
shrewd ami too broad to like Grant, he
never opposed him except when the third>
term conspiracy come up, and then
Blaine lifted his big fist andIet him have
il between the eyes; after which the
third term was heard no longer.

necessary to his power among men, they
do not constitute it. They are the fOun
