of the man who is the ablest republican
and most astute politician in the United

thing that the caucus decided over
whelmingly against the CREST wire
puller, whose entire career has been
marked with attempts to make party
capital out of foreign politics."

tack on Nr. Blaine, and sums up its es-
innate of President Harrison's q%ualifi-
cations by declaring that he is "a quiet
unassunning OLD gentleman of great per
sonal integrity, but without great abii-
