STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE.
What Might Have Been.

There was once a shorthand re-
porter named Andrew Devine. He
lived in New York and during the
campaign of 1884 was, at Blaine's
request, assigned by the Associated
Press to report the speeches of the
republican candidate for president.
It was Blaine's habit not to reply to
speeches unless he had read them
before delivery. So close in his con-
fidence was Devine that the latter
usually ascertainej for him what the
spokesman of visiting delegation in
tended to say.
But on one occasion, which proved
to be the turning point in the career
of the man from Maine, Devine was
not present 1t was the occasion
when delegation of clergymen, with
the Rev. DR.. Burchard for spokesman,
called upon Blaine at the Fifth ave-
nue. hotel
Standing on the stairway in the
corridor, Burchard spoke the words
rum, Romanism and rebellion,
which cost the plumed knight the
presidency. Blaine, in his reply
seemed not to have noticed the of
fensive phrase. If Devine had been
there he would, Blaine afterward
said have ra1laj his attention TO II
and he. Blaine, then and there would
have disavowed sympathy with it,
and thereby saved himself from hui
initiating defeat.-BoSton Globe.

The speaker smiled.
