really looked pleased He acted ns though q
heavy burden had been rolled from his shoul-
ders. and he seemed more than ever like the
James g. Dlaino OF old.
II Mr.. Blaine really wanted tho nomination.
there was no trace OF disappointment either
in look or word or action Mrs. Blaine could
not conceal her feelings as readily as did her
distin Guished husband. She was vexed about
something. and was overheard to say:
I'm sick and tired OF tho whole business
any way. wish we'd gone several days ago"
Perhaps the rcmark did not apply to the
Presidential controversy. but 1t Is the general
opinion that 1t did.
The ext Secretary took his defeat with greater
calmness than any OF his friends. Ho would
not talk about tho matter but he expressed
his pleasure that the trouble was settled.
When tho figures we're shown him he re-
marked that he was somewhat astonished at
tho size Of his vote. Whether 1t was smaller
could not be told.
After partaking OF light lunch late In tho
afternoon he sent for a. Journal reporter and
gave him the following card to the Republican
party OF the country:

Judge George ". Coates OF Amesbury called
upon Mr.. Blaine with u friendly message from

Altogether 1t was quite n happy little crowd
