As Col Tracey left the room with
full powers Senator German said;
III anything will elect Cleveland

that man so quick witted as Blaine,
accustomed to think ON his feet and
to meet surprising changes in debate,
should not have corrected the thing
on the spot. II is too late now. He
cannot deal with it at all The ad-
vantages are now with us. For the
first time We are able to meet that
intrigue to excite religious prejudicrs
against Cleveland There will be

Cleveland. God grant it may be in
sufficient volume to turn the tide to

WORDS THAT BEAT BLAINE.
How Rum, Romanism and Rebellion
Phrase Was Uttered.

William c. Hudson in Random Re-
collections Of an Old Political Report
err" The Rum, Romanism and Re-
bellion incident was the turning point
in the campaign of 1884. On Wednes.
day, Oct. %, 1884, less than week
before the election, | met Senator
German as he descended the stairs
from his room in the national demo
cratic headquarters. He was dull,
gloomy and wearied in manner, quite
the reverse OF his buoyant habit. AS
he reached the bottom step he said
Il want to get away into the fresh
air for a time. I'm going to ride
through Central park and ! want
companion. Come with me-"
AS we stopped at headquarters the
senator said:
Come with me to my room. | want
to go to West Virginia as soon as
can. There are some matters to be
attended to on Friday and Saturday
that l must turn over to you for eXecu
| ton"
We We're engaged on these matters
when We heard some one come up
the stairs in great haste. In a mo-
ment Col. John Tracey, the head of
the newspaper bureau, plunged into
the room so much out of breath by
reason Of his haste and excitement
that he could not speak-could only
point 10 the pages of the paper he

1t was the practice of the news bur-
eau of the committee to send a
stenographeT to take verbatim reports
of all republican functions that were
open TO the public. The same prac-
tice as TO democratic functions was
followed by the republican news bur-
eau. In pun suance of this practice a
stenographer had attended the minis
terial visit to Blaine at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel and had taken down the
speeches made by the Rev. DR.. Burch-
ard and by MIR. Blaine. Returning to
his desk he had written out the re-
port and turned it over to Col. Tracey,
who ran it over in the hope that he
might find something TO feed out to
the newspapers. He had come upon
the words and had instantly appreci-
ated their tremendous significance.
AS Senator German ran over the
pages of Blaine's speech he asked:
"Is this a verbatim teport?"
Every word uttered is there" re.
piled Col. Tracey.
Surely" said German sternly,
Blaine met this remark"
That is the astounding thing" said
Tracey, eXcitedly. He made no refer
ence to the words. | have confirmed
that fact"
Finally, Senator German spoke, his
voice cracking like the snap OF a
whip:

row, no matter how, no matter what
it costs. Organize for that immedi
