Ten months went by. The results OF the

James C. Blaine. when secretary of
state, in a powerful dispatch addressed

American legation replied that commis-

met that autumn. and that Mr. de GIers
had already transmitted your dispa tch

Kentucky, is big of Drawn and
big of brain. He is as big polit-
ically, too, as he is big physical
ly. He is living example of
the fact that there are giants in
these days as well as in "those
days.. From tip to tip he meas
ures six feet six inches and he
weighs 30 pounds. His brow
extends from his eyes to the
collar button on the back of his
neck, for his head is as bald
as boiled egg, and he can scarce
remember the time when hair
grew upon his dome, which shines
like a polished billiard ball. He
has one pronouced love and one
equally pronounced hatred. The
one is for horses and the Othes is
for Republicans, not personally,
but politically. He will go miles
to see and beat horse race, and
twice as far to meet and beat a

popularity is not confined alone
to his native State. His al

character make friends for him
everywhere. Personally, he
knows no enemies; politically he
knows no friends who do not sub
scribe to the tents of true Demo-

James is a worthy successor of

Democrats who have come to
