ship in the house of representatives. In
due time he spoke to his old friend
General Robert c. Schcnck, who was
chairman of the committee OH military
affairs, and tho result was was given
the clerkship of that committee.
Colfax was speaker of the house. and
for some reason or other he seemed to
have little liking for the ambitious
young member from the Augusta dis
trict of Maine, for he appointed Blaine
to position near tho foot of that COM
mittee. Now, Blaine had not served in
the army and had no knowledge of mil
itary legislation and no taste for that
kind of work. He used to be country
editor himself, and he appeared to take
fancy to the young clerk from Ohio
He would often drop into the committee
room, and, standing before the wood
fire, would talk freely to me about his
newspaper and political career and his
plans and hopes for tho future.
remember TINT he said one day: 81
do not like this military committee

mittee on appropriations or ways and
means. Financial questions will soon be
the dominant ones i'll congress Two
years later expect to be chairman of
my committee. Then think shall be
speaker Of the house and after awhile I
hope to go to tho senate.
Everything camo about exactly as he
planned. He had wonderful prescience
concerning his own future, as we'll as in
relation to political events. When he
was acandidto for the presidential NOM
lnation i'll 1880, he said to me: my ca
reer has thus far closely paralle1ed that
of Henry Clay. He was speaker of the
house and then senator. His party re-
fused to nominate him as long as it had
any chance of electing n president.
When it had no longer any chance, it
gave him the nomination he had so long
sought. l believe that is going to he my
fate. "-ChicagO Times Herald
