Mr.. Blanchard was living in New

when the convention was held. Being
at that time only % years of age. he
was not an accredited delegate, but,
as he had voted twice for the whig
natural interest in the formation Of a
new organization which should take
the place of the slowly dying whig
party. He therefore decided to go to
Pittsburg and upon his arrival there
he found himself received as regu-

chard was living in the Fifth con-
gressonal district of Missouri and. in
common with most of the other dele
gates from the west, was a vigorous
supporter Of James G.. Blaine. Mr.,
Blanchard remembers wildly the old
struggle and talks interestingly Of the
final outcome.
"The<defeat of Blaine for the nom
ination," said Mr.. Blanchard yester-
day, was simply a repetition OF the
old story Of a man Of ability being
beaten because of his very ability. Like
Henry Clay, Blaine was too great
man. Hayes was not fit for president.
] was born in Ohio and I had heard
much of Hayes. He failed in many I'M
dertakings and the only occupation in
which he made a real success was
raising. But Blaine. the states
man, was defeated by Hayes, the

Mr. Blanchard has been member of
