| graduate OF the English universities and
master of fine style, whether he spoke
or used the pen: he was a man of sound
| literary taste but he was not a man of
Imagination; his voice and manner were
never sympathetic or tenderly thrilling; he
had logic, understanding, facts at his COM
| mand; he had clear. ringing, metallic
voice; an energetic. nervous delivery that
commands and holds attention; he had q
noble head splendid figure, a face
of manly good looks, full of intellectual
power. liz up by large eyes of wonderful
brightness and beauty that shone like
stars when he spoke to the purpose, but
the radiance OF Clay's eloquence was never
emitted by Blaine. Blaine blew the war
bugle of debate with force, passion and
skill that quite equalled the best efforts
of Clay in debate. bu, Clay could soar on
the wings of his Imagination and make
every eye follow him in his flight.
Nevertheless. measured by the strength
and the versatility Of his political genius;
by his uniform adroitness, his self-con-
solid quality of his performance as a
statesman, Mr.. Blame was a far stronger
man than Mr.. Clay. Mr.. Clay was gam
bier; he was incorporate and licentious;
his temper was irascible and imperious.
and his influence suffered deterioration in
consequence Of his bad habits. The
imperious manners Of Mr.. Clay gave
such mortal offense to James G. Birney
that he was persuaded to allow the
use of his name as third candidate
against Clay in 1874. and thus caused
Clay's defeat, losing him the great state of
New York. Mr.. Blaine was in his per-
sonal domestic habits the reverse of Clay;
he was temperate and chaste; he was a
man of intellectual and moral refinement.
His only social weakness was that, q
brilliant talker himself, he loved to hear
brilliant talk and contribute to its dow,
so he was very fond of dinner parties, aud
fond Of many dishes that are not good for
the digestion. Mr.. Blaine gave his
stomach too much to do; he overworked
his active brain and he took insufficient
exercise for man of sedentary life and
full diet.
His method of life doubtless shortened
his days, for he had magnificent physique
and fine constitution he had never abused
it by alcohol or loose living, and yet the
whisky-loving Clay lived dozen years
longer than Blaine. Overwork, full diet,
small exercise will shorten mans DAYS
as surely as alcohol. Blaine was greater
statesman than Clay; better man in all
the relations Of public and private life.

HELM AND SMITHsON FALSE.
They Were Elected to the Legislature
as Allen Men.
Cla-Elum rrihu.


On october Il q paragraph appeared in the
Tribune TO the effect that it had learned from an
authentic source that Candidates Helm and
smithson had pledged their support to Judge
Turner Tor United States senator In the event of
election. The editor was promptly pronounced
a prevaricator In aggravated cases may
handle the truth with more or less freedom.
but in this particular instance We Were q pretty
good guesser. conceding the declaration that we
were talking through our headgear.
We wonder what Senator Helm and Repre-.
sentative Smithson thought when they received
a half dozen or more kilograms from the upper
Kittitas country, reminding them OF che pledges
they made to support Senator Allen for re-elec-
ton. Drs Lyon and Sloane, Walter j. Reed and
several other leading Repu olicans are especially
indignant If they had not made ironclad
promises to stand by Allen in his dilemma they
would have been showed out Of sight on the Sth
OF last November.

THEIR NARROW ESCAPE.
The Adventures of Four Old Ladies and
Horse.

The Adventures of Four Old Ladies and
Horse.
Four old ladies were out driving yes
terday afternoon in wo-seated surrey
drawn by an aged and gentle horse, be-
longing to Mrs. Mitchell of 622 West
Twenty. Sixth street, who held the lines.
They were jogging along quietly near
Toberman and Twenty-irst streets when
the harness slipped over the horses
head while he was trying to snip up
some grass. This scared the old steed
so much that he ran away and Mrs.
Peckham of Seventeenth street, lady
nearly 20 years of age, jumped out OF
the surrey, with the result that che was
internally injured. The three other
ladies stayed with the vehicle until two
OF its wheels were broken, when they
all fell into the road. Only Mrs.
Mitchell received any injury then, q
sprain of the left shoulder, which is
somewhat remarkable, as another occu-
pant, Mrs. Tibbetts, has reached the ad-
vanced age of "a years.
Mrs. Peckham was taken to 945 West
twenty-five at street, where DR.. Frost at
tended her. The patrol wagon was cum
moned, but owing to the severity OF the
old lady's injuries her medical attendant
forbade her revoval.
