Lost Invitation Beat Blaine

plenipotentiary, representing the pres
ident, in the winter of 1852. DR..
Armitage was, therefore, very widely
recognized by American Roman Cath
olics as one of the clergymen of the
Protestant denominations who, like
Henry Ward Beecher, maintained in
innate personal and social relations
with the leading prelates of the
Church Of Rome in America.
/ had heard that but for what SEEM
ed to be a slight accident or misun-
derstanding DR.. Armitage, instead of
Rev. Dr. Burehard, would have spoken
for 500 clergymen at the reception
given to James G. Blaine in New York
city near the close of the presidential
campaign in 1854, the reception at
which DR.. Burchard spoke the words
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion"
which caused Mr.. Blaine to lose the
presidential election. I met DR.. Armi-
tage a year of two before his death,
which occurred in 1895, and asked
him If the reports which I had heard
were accurate.
YES" he replied. "That strange
and adverse fate which prevented
Blaine-as a like destiny had pre-
vented Henry Clay-from becoming
president was responsible for the ac-
cident which brought about my non
appearance as spokesman for the
clergymen at the reception for Mr..
Blaine.
This reception, as you may remem-
Der, was a suddenly arranged affair.
1t was the understanding of those
who planned it that l was to be in.
vited to speak before the candidate.
1t so happened that l was in Philadel-
phia at the time, attending a great
meeting of Baptists called especially
to commemorate the services of Rev.
DR.. Peddie. Therefore when Stephen
B. Elkins, who had arranged for the
reception, sent the invitation to me to
act as spokesman it did not reach me.
Haste was necessary, so it was deter
mined to call upon Rev. DR.. Burchard,
who was good man and an earnest
man, but curiously lacking in tact.
when / read the dispatch from
New York to the effect that the
clergymen were to attend the Blaine
reception and that DR.. Burchard was
to speak to them, I was instantly
dominated by the conviction that
ought to be in New York to meet DR..
Burchard and find out what he was
going to say. | boarded the earliest
possible train for New York and upon
my arrival was taken by cab to the
Fifth Avenue hotel l was too late.
The reception was almost over
But even then, had 1 been told
what DR.. Burchard had said, should
have challenged him on the spot
should have made an effort to clear
the atmosphere Immediately, and it
would have been possible for me to
do so because the great leaders of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States knew of the warm personal re-
lations which existed between Car
dinal McCIoskey, Archbishop Hughes
and myself.
Unfortunately, I did not learn
what Dr. Burchard had said until it
was too late to repair the damage.
AS you know full well, his expression
was instantly caught up and pub
lished widely, and knew from that
moment that Mr.. Blaine was doomed"

The vo,,no Idea

There are two kinds of joints, the
hinges and the ball-bearing.
Reflex action is the inside eye and
ear. Reflex action controls things
that we do not have to think about,

Had we no skin, our clothes would
cause us endless agony.
The stomach is the trunk of our
body. The stomach contains the liver.
The stomach is south of the lungs,
west of the liver. 1t has three coats.
