No one could meet Liia without knowing instinctively that he was a man not only of thought, but I reading.

The characteristic of his mind was that he looked at every abbject from the very broadest standpoint.

Energetic and active, he was possessed of a restless nature wiTich inspired We in evenr which he undertook. The enthusiasm and devotion which he inspired among his followers was a phenomenon without a Parallel in American politics. From early childhood he had been accus tomed to popularity! among his acquaint ances.

When he entered Congress without much reputation, his magnetism at once made itself felt in that political clearing- house, and he easily became the most popu lar member of that body. Mr. Blaine waa always generous in bis sympathies, and he overflowed with animal spirits, wttlch made bim the life of every assemblage. In the society of the capital he waa equally at home ad universally run At first it waa thought that this ease and grace of mind and body were all that made no his political capital, but that idea waa quickly dispelled when he began to display capaci ties lor If r.

In the minds of men who knew James G. Blaine well there is no doubt that he was aware of the fact that he was a dying man when he Was in this city last October, lie waa confronting the maddening truth that he had bat a few moatbs to live all the time that the manager of the Republican campaign were frantically appealing to him to ride into the political battle tike the Plumed Knight of former campaigns and save them from defeat. 11 r. Blaine went to Ophir 'Farm, the country seat of White-law Beid, oa Thursday, October 13. lie had spent the summer at Bar Harbor, where he hail an attack of illness which kept him in bed for several weeks.

Intimate friends of the Blaines say that Mrs. Blaine had become convinced that her husband was on a rapid decline which could never be checked. but never dared to tell him the truth. It was kown to the friends of President liar, risonpossibly to Whitelaw Reid and his friends, and sdso to the men who were arrayed eainst Harrison in his efforts to get a second term. "The men who tried to nominate Blaine knew on excellent medical authority that he could not live until March 4," said an intimate acquaintance of the ex-Secretary of State yesterday.

"It was as cruel a thing as was ever done in Mr. Blaine made the stop here on his way from Maine to Washing-ton chiefly for the purpose of learning the troth. The first news of his coining was written by Mrs. Blaine to Mrs. Whitelaw Reid." In her letter Mrs.

Blaine said that her husband would eoma on alone and that she weald follow a few days thereafter. Mr. Reid and his friends felt greatly elated at this. It Mr. Blaine was able to travel alone his health, tbey thought, must be much better.

Mr. Blaine came, and he presented a picture of physical decay, which shocked them. The contrast between his condition then and what it was when he had' been in this city in May was painful. The man was so Anwmtn" thai Vion the Grand Central Station his "voice Jttai tremulous "with the mere exertion oTde scending the steps of the 'car. Domestic affliction and.

bodily ills had none their work. When Mr. Blaine -made hi short speech to the serenaders at Ophir Farm, the second day of hia stay there, his voice was weak and indistinct, and although he had prepared his speech in advance he lost the thread! of his talk several times, and the shorthand report had to be liberally "edited" to make it coherent. This, at the time, waa charitably blamed on the stenog rapher, t' Quick To See a Point. rFhuadelpbkk Press.

One of the most notable thintrs in retrard to Mr. Blaine's skill as a party leader was his alertness, in seizing upon a position on difKenlt or ixoitihr nnlili ntclmm that would be likely to receive thesup- port ot iiis party and to be popular in the country. -A mutake by an opponent would be seen by Mr. Blaine almost immediately, and he was not $low to yike advantage of it. Perhaps this could not be illustrated better than in 4 his celebrated! statement on the tariff question sent frotrrEurepe in reply ro Mr.

Cleveland's measasre in 1887. Mr. Blaine gavej the keynote of the cam-paijm to his party in that message. In the hundreds "of speeches which I have heard him deliver he always made an effort to brincr out one ceatral point that would fix the attention -of This He did not like to deliver long lie preferred, as he told me himself, to handle one topic in such a way as.to make an impression and leave to others the work of entertaining the audience; For that purpose he generally took with him a speaker who 'could rut an audience in good humor, and Mr. Blaine would con fine himself to one or two of the central issues of the campaign.

Many of his speeches were delivered with a view of reaching the entire eountry, rather than the audience to whieh he was speaking. He had a clear Voice and a simple manner of stating ouestions that always made it easy for the people to understand him. Mr. Blaine rarely wrote out a speech. I -jremember of only one speech in the campaign of 18S4 that he wrote out in.

and then he had been grossly'misrepresentedljand he desired to put himself in suqfi away that there would be no exense for continuing the misstatements. The speech I refer to was delivered in the State Fair-grounds at Manchester, 1L. and I held the a nunc rip in my hands while Mr. Blaine spoke, and I found that he did not deviate hardly a word from what he had written, although he did not write the speeeh'more than an hour before it was delivered, and bad; bad po opportunity to do more than read it after he had completed the manuscripts. Snubbed Senator Edmunds, Boston Globe.I A scene whieh was historic in its interest took place on Sunday, November 21, 188d, in 'ew York citvt between Senator Georgp F.

The address of the president, Dr. Charles E. Wright, eoatamed many suggestions which were well received. The president's subject was The Horse Business," his text being the well-worn phrase of disappointed horse raisers, "The bottom has dropped out of the horse business." "IX, a man," said the president- "breeds an Inferior horse which will not bring three times its value -at a sale, then the breeder remarks 'that "the bottom has dropped when the man ia love with his own horse does not get the price he ex pected, based on his personal esteem of the horse and not its individual and apparent merit, be says "the bottom has dropped out; There is no "boom? In the horse business, the president said, and none is wanted. "Good horses," said the president, "those with good breeding and something to show for that, breeding, either In the way of developed speed and individual excellence or even in.

inviting and speculative prospects, i have remunerative prices." Horse-breeders, he said, should realize that while they may breed horses for the market, they can not make the buyers nor the market. They must raise what is wanted and what will be boueht. People will buy what they want. The president told of the sales made by horse "gyps," re" peating their idioms about their stock and describing the men and their tricks bv way of illustrating his point. Ha amplified the old story of the man who was brought a whole procession of horses, all ot wtucn were described aa nas Deen-ers."

That was a subject worthy of the moet careful study. The president said that be did not believe that the breeders derived all the advantage they ought to from the- association.

Paris, Tex-, February 2. Henry Smith, the negro, who brutally assaulted and murdered little Myrtle Vance, a child but four years old, was burned to death by a mob here last Vvenin. Wben the news came, early yesterday morning, that he had been caught at Hope, Arlu, and fully Identified, preparations, were at once begun to burn him at the stake, and there was no concealment of them.

When the train arrived here it was met by a surging mass of humanity, ten thousand, strong. The negro was placed upon a carnival in mockery of a king upon his throne and was followed by the immense crowd and escorted through the city. The Bne of march was up Main street to the square, around the. square, down Clnrksville street to Church street, thenoe to the opeu prairie about three hundred yards from the Texas 4t Pacific depot. Here Smith was placed upon a scaffold six feet qure and ten feet high, securely bound, within the view of all beholders.

Here the victim was tortured for fifty minutes with red-hot iron brands thrust against his quivering body Commencing at the feet the brands were placed against him inch by inch until they were thrust against the face. Then being tapparaatly dead, kerosene was poured upon him, cotton seed hulls placed beneath him and set on fire. Mis body was entirely consumed by the flames. The negro, for a long time after starting on the journey to Paris, did not realize his plight. At last when he was told he must die the most awful death by slow torture that human mind could conceive, he begged for protection.

What protection eould he get with thousands of people from Hope and Paris demanding his life? He was willing to be shot and wanted Marshal Shanklin, of Paris, to do it. But be was told he- would be burned to death. His agony was awfuL He pleaded and writhed in bodily and mental pain in anticipation. Scarcely had the train reached Paris than his torture commenced. His clothes were torn off piecemeal and scattered in the crowd, people catching the shreds and put ting themaway as mementoes.

The child's father, tier brother and two uncles, then gathered about the negro as he lay fastened to the torture platform and thrust hot irons into bit quivering flesh. Every groan from him, every contortion of his body was cheered by the thickly packed crowd of 10.0U0 people. The mass of beings was 600 yards in- diam eter, the scalloid being-m the center. Alter bufninr feet and lets with hot irons. plenty of fresh ones being at hand, they were rolled up and down binith's stomach, back and arms.

Then the eyes were burned out and irons were thrust down his throat. 3ne men of the Vance family having wreaked venccance. the 'crowd piled, all kinds of combustible stuff around the scaffold, poured oil on it and set it afire. The negro rolled and wriceled and tossed out of the mass, only to be pushed back again by the people nearest him. He tossed out again and was roped and pulled back.

Hundreds of people turned away, but the vast crowd still looked calmly on. People were there from every part of this section. Every train that came, in was loaded to its utmost capacity, and there were demands at many points for special trains to bring people here to see the punishment, and when the news of the burning went over the country like wildfire, at every town anvils boomed forth, the an nouncement.

5 The Democratic Editorial Association of Indiana is meeting at the Hendricks' Club rooms this afternoon. One of the subjects of importance discussed was the proposition to repeal -the Grubbs libel law. the pro visions of whieh are regarded by the asso ciation as unjust to the press of the State. Another question that came' up was the provision of the election law requiring that lac-simile election ballots be published in the two leadinir papers of each county. This provision also provides for the pay ment tor this advertisement at the rate of $1 a "square," which makes each insertion cost about 1.200.

This lias caused complaint from many, who hold that the expense is needless, and that to roubiish a verbatim copy instead of a fac-simile, in small type, would serve the purpose just as well. Some of the papers believe that they do a great amount of public work for whieh no rompeoMUos ia received, and that the publication of the fac-simile ballots about evens the thing up. This afternoon the election of officers also occurs. It has been the policy to promote the different officials, which reduces the contest to but one Henry A.
