first prize In Chicsgo.
How In the world did that happen?
In the first place, all the raonopolies were
with him In the fight. Nearly every dio-
patch whica came through the hands OF
the Western Union daring the decisive
hours was colored In his interest. But
VIXEN tho richest railroad corporation 10 the
United States worked openly Tor him, II
can scarcely DO doubted that the sister cor.
porations were actively employed behind
the scenes.
Blaine moreover, thoroughly acquainted
with the manipulation OF conventions, had
an understanding with John Sherman, anC
