1892 General Harrison was candi-
date to succeed himself and Blaine had
promised to support him. At the Min
neapolls convention, however, Mr.
Blaine announced himself as a candi-

said to have been responsible for this
change of front After her husbands
death Mrs. Blaine practically retired
from the world. With his demise the
object Of her ambition passed and the
public saw and heard little Of her.
