We love to know that Mr.. Blaine was a
Maine man. Though he was no, born in
our State he adopted il as his residence in
early manhood. And it was here in this
capital city that his home life commenced.
Here his children were born, here his am
billions were cultivated. and here he first
became prominent in public life He en-
tered Congress. and commenced his spien-
did public career as 4 reprcse ntatiye from
this third Congressional district; and that,
too, at an age when most ambitious men
have to struggle for recognition in the
State LEGISLATURE. fIe entered the 3sth
Congress in 1858. and before that Ongress
had expired he was the co1npeer Of sach
men as Thadens Stevens, James 4. Gar
field. Fernando Wood and Roscoe Conk-
! ling. He succeeded to the Speakership in
the House of Representatives composed of
scores of men who have made for them
selves national reputation. He al once
became the leader among lealers in the
councils of the nation. and bis statement of
views upon public questions became the
