MIR. BLAINE FRANTIC.

Tuesday night, some friends of Mr..
Blaine serenaded him at his home. In re-
ply, he launched into denunciation of the
South. and said the Republican party was
beaten because the South suppressed the
Republican vote there. Mr.. Baine's wits
are evidently at sea. The Republican
party was beaten because it's members
would not vote for Mr. Blaine. In New
York alone, $4,000 threw away votes,
for st. John, rather than vote for HIM.
The Independent Republicans gave 25 900
votes to Cleveland, rather than vote
for him. It is Mr.. Blaine, himself, who
beat the Republican party and he will
not avert the indignation of his party by
charging 1t to the South.

AS President Cleveland has determined

ingly fortunate in having such material

administration of the Department of the
