JAMES G. BLAINE DEAD.
Sad Ending of a Long and Brilliant
Career.
Hon. James U. Blaine died at
liia residence in Washington City
at 11 o'clock last Friday morning,
of Bright's disease. "
James Gillespie Blaine was born
in West Brownviile, Washington
county, Penn., January 31, 1S30.
His great-graiidfathf-r, Ephraini
Blaine, was colonel f the Pennsyl
vania line, and a coin missionary
general in the Revolutionary army.
After receiving an education in
Lancaster, Blaine was graduated ati
Washington college, Penn.. in 1S47 J
and afterward became a professor
in the Western Military Institute,
Georgetown, Ky. After two years
he returned to Pennsylvania, stud
ied law, was admitted to the bar,
but did not practice, and became a
teacher in the Institution for the
Bliud in Philadelphia. In 1854 1m
removed to Aujrusta, Ma., where heti&n! for Mr. F.
resided up to the time of his death,
J and took charge "cf tha, Kennebec

republican p-rtr in ISoo he became
noted as a public speaker, and in
1S5S was made chairman of the
state committee, a post he held for
twenty years. From 1S5S to 1S62
he serrcd in the state legislature,
and was for two years speaker. In
1S57 he removed to Portland, Me.,
to edit the Advertiser, and in 1S62
entered congress, where he served
fur eighteen years. He achieved a
reputation as a ready detater; his
alert perceptions, unfailing memory 4
and acurate knowledge of political
history giving him great advanta
ges. After the death of Thaddeus
Stevens he . became the loader of
the republican party. In all im
portant matters regarding recon
struction after the civil war, he has
had a prominent share. Mr. Blaine
was chosen speaker of the house in
"1SG9, and twice re-elected, serving
until March, 1S75. He was a can
didate for president in 1S76, at the
convention in Cincinnati, and re
ceived the highest number of votes
on every ballot, except (he last,
which gave the nomination to 'Ru
therford B. Hayes. In 1S76 he
was appointed to the United States
senate, to.fi 11 a vacancy, and in the
republican presidential convention
held in Chicago in 1SS0 he was
again a candidate. When General
Garfield became president, Mr.
Blaine was made secretary of state.
Ho stood by the president's side
when he was shot, and this gave
him a shock from which he never
recovered. On December 19, 1881,
Mr. Blaine retired from the cabinet,
and was thus, for the first time in
twenty-three years, out of public
life. In 1884 he was the republi
can candidate for president, and
took the stump in Ohio, Indiana,
New York and other states, giving
a series of speeches, in which he
upheld protection to American in
dustry. After his defeat by GrQ
ver Cleveland, ho retired to his
home in Agusta, Me. He took an
active part in the Maine canvass in
1S86, opening it on August 24th, in
a speech devoted to the fisheries,
tariff and third party prohibition
movement. In 1887-8 he traveled
in Europe, and in ISS'J was ap
pointed secretary of state in Presi
dent Harrison's cabinet, resigning
the position last spring.
Blaine was the author of "Twenty
Years of Congress," a masterpiece
of political hUtory, which, in itself
would h,ave immortalised his name.

over the Salmon range to Salmon
