rugged force OF character, and from him Blaine
undoubtedly inherited the great moral courage
ana political sudacity which have been charsc-
tsristic OF his political career From his mother
be Inherited that wonderful intuitive capacity
which has enabled him IN moments of great
crises 70 act as though BY inspiration. From
her he also received that highly sensitive and
emotional character which has been conspicuous
in mis- political life.
Blaine Emigrates Eastward.
OF course Mr.. Blaine would have developed
wherever he loested and in whatever calling he
selected as life career. but il was pure chance
which made him the man from Maine. He met
while q teacher in Kentucky Miss Harriet STAN
wood, who was also a teacher. They were
mutually attracted, and just after he had passed
his majority they were married. She was q
Maine girl, and she induced ner young husband
TO remove 20 her home and make it his abiding
place.
Blaine while in PhiIadelphia had been at
trscts1 10 journalism He mas said that ne
discovered by pure chance that he had some
facility with the pen, especially IN political
discussion, but il could not have been pure
chance. 1t must have been the Impulse OF
the spirit that was in him. And acting upon
this impulse he became part proprietor oil the

Rlaine's Farsightedness.


Even thus early Mr.. Blaine perceived that a
pOlitician-and he had unques tioEably deter
mined to make politics his lie business-needed
perhaps above other men TO De free from money
EMBELLISHMENTS. He therefore began with
great energy a business career which was brief.
He procured some contracts from the war de-
partment for furnishing supplies to the soldiers,
and while he was aiding the governor OF Maine
TO the extent of his ability in recruiting and
equtpping soldiers he was also engaged in
a perfectly honorable business OF supply
ing the government with raiment for the
army. lie did not accumulate much, but
he got enough so that he had home OF his own
in Augusta aud Il few thousands to his credit i'll
the bank. He was Tor a time fascinated with
business pursuits and IL was serious question
for some months whether he should not aban.
don politics and devote himself to business.
Those who knew Blaine in later years declared
that had he entered the field of business activity
he had the peculiar mental qualities W hich
would have enabled him 10 stand with the
great organizing and constructive com mercial
geniuses OF his generation. He never cared for
money Tor itself. He did not have the acQuisi-
tive sense But he liked power, and he realized
st that early day what the power of money is.
Why He Went to Congress.
An emergency arose in the congress district in
which he lived. candidate was to be put in
nomination. The temptation was offered to
him: he thought of the matter over night, and
on the next morning had come to a decision
which determined his career. He was NOM
mated on the first ballot and elected with but a
feeble opposition.
Soon after Mr.. Blaine was sworn in a friend
called on him at his boarding house at Washing
ton City quito late in the evening. He found
Blaine at his desk. his rudy tinted hair so near
the gas burner that i; seemed as though it must
be siuged, n copy of the house rules before him,
a volume OF "Cushing's Manual and a report
Of presidents which had been established by the
rulings of various speakers
"Rather dry reading, isn't it, Mr.. Blaine?'
said his friend.
"Yes, If you read 1t off hand, but the man who
masters this throwing his hand down upon
the pages of the book of rules, "masters the
house of represen tstives."
1t is one of the traditions Of Blaine that he
mastered Cushing's parliamentary rules in one
