the arrival of the train. They were wildly
enthusiastic, and as the train was about to
move off young man jumped on the rear
platform and asked Mr.. Blaine to give him
something as a souvenir, handkerchief or
anything. Mr.. Blaine searched his
pockets for something, but could not
find even a handkerchief. Meanwhile
the train was moving and the
brakeman and several members
of the state committee who we're standing
by, urged the young man to get off, but he
kept exclaiming: ''No, l won't go till he
gives me something. Blaine, give me some
thing. Goff, make him give me some
thing.n
The appeal was So earnest that it touched
everybody present. One of the gentlemen
handed Mr.. Blaine a telegraph blank, on
which he hastily scrawled his autograph. The
young man jumped of, ran back along
the track, shouting and wav-
ing the trophy over his head.
