priety in his saying anything upon his RESPONSE
birty. He said; ''wat, and 1 will write you my
opinion. This you in any way you please
cept to say it came from me-"
IF you will dictate will write"
NO prefer to write"
Mr.. Blaine here sat down at his dining-room table,
and upon great pile of blue paper, began writing
with the greatest rapidity, scratching his thoughts
with great spluttering gray goosequin pen, that
groaned creaked and almost squawked undert the
getic twists of Mr.. Baines firm white fist.
Three or four sheets were covered, when Mr. Blaine
said; There you may copy that"
'Bnt why not let me have your copy! will keep it
carefully, and will value it afterward as your auto
graph manuscript"
Il should prefer to give you an autograph manu-.
script other subject" said Mr. Blaine. IF
you want that opinion you will have to copy it."
When it was copied Mr. Blaine took his manuscript
and, holding it in hand lighted it in the gas JET
He held the blazing mass in his hand for moment
gazing at it soemnly as if he were engaged in some
tragic ceremonial. Then he walked to the CRATE and
dashed the burning manuscript down. standing with
folded arms he watched it crumble into ashes. The
action all through, relating to a simple and trivial
matter, was highly dramatic. Mr.. Blaine loves the
dramatic. He is fine actor and if he had gone on
the stage must have had colossal success. He has
most fervd imagination and great gift of language
fine stage presence and that nameless and nde6nabls
magnetism that attracts and warns an audience to
sympathy and admiration. He is one of the men
whose presence appears to fill in itself the whole
scene

WHEN it comes to awarding premiums on
gall, the Louisville Courier-Journal wishes to
be counted in, and the impression prevails
that it will distance all rivals. Speaking of
the Republican platform, it says: 'While
recommending the best money, the grand
old party established a currency which, for
seventeen years, fuctuated between forty
cents and ninety eight cents on the dollar"
The currency to-day worth dollar for dollar in
gold was worth forty cents, and even less,
when the integrity of the country was threat
ened by civil war inaugurated and waged by
Democrats

sive information. So far as is known here
the delegates agreed to present Senator HarTi-
sons name only, and then backed out, thereby
needlessly humiliating that gentleman and
placing him in false position before the
country. Sending untrammeled representa-
tives to a convention is very well in theory,
but for delegates who do not know what they
want until they are told, few preliminary
instructions might not be out of place.
