the following: Mr.. Blaine's speech In

but this speech will make a tremendous
impression In all civilized countries, and
it will be, OF necessity, tho platform OF
the Republican party and enlarge and
elevate the party. Ono wonders why
these things have not been presented to
the people before. The man aud the
time had not come together, that's all.
But Mr. Blaine Is not only man OF
genius, he has had q vast experience,
and all that he sees and hears and reads
tells him something, and he forgets
and illuminates all he looks
upon. More than that, he put away
years ago his ambition to hold tho grent |
