to make a friend by Al act which would have
made an enemy for most men, His conversa-
tional Towers were necessarily, from what has
been said, OF high order. His fund OF informs-
tion, while not as thorough or as accurate as
he no doubt woull have liked. owing to his
lack Of early advantages, was most extensive.
and there were few sEbj sets on which he could
not coaverss entertainingly. As man OF
business hs was remarkably successful and
his Judgment respecting investments was al
most infallibie. This capacity in this direction
gave great weight to many Of his ideas and
suggestions respecting the commercial policy
Of the country.
Mr.. Blaine's position was unique. By bis
friends and admirers he was estesm,d q man
OF stern integrity. q statesman Of far seeing,
prophetic vision, an orator OF matchlsss elo-
quence. q leader without fear and without re-
proach. His enemies, and h. had many, both
political and personal, called him crafty, un-
scrupulous and corrupt in money matters, .
sch ming politician with no elements OF great
ness. an orator who dealt in words and phrases
only, leader who was for himself first and
always. It is probable that he was by no means
without faults and certain that he had many
qualities OF greatness; in other words that tbs
truth lies somewhere between the lavish en-
coniums of his friends snd the bitter charac-
terization Of his enemies.
