When Mulligan began his testimony it appeared that he intended to lay before the committee a package of letters that had passed between Blaine and Fisher, and thereupon, at Blaine's whispered request, one of the members of the committee procured an adjournment for the day.
Finally, by tireless work, Blaine laid his plans so well that he secured the nomination four years later, only to have New York State thrown against him by Conkling and to go down to defeat. Conkling had his revenge, and Blaine's career was practically at an end, for he was an old and broken man.
"I didn't know it myself till about ten minutes ago," he protested. Hartley winked prodigiously. "Don't tell me! Is she pretty?" The girl returned at this moment with an armful of wood. "Let me put it in," cried Hartley, springing up. "Excuse me. My name is Hartley, book agent: Blaine's Twenty Years, plain cloth, sprinkled edges, three dollars; half calf, three fifty. This is my friend Mr.
Blaine's son came down in response to our call, announcing that his father had retired, ill, and would not be disturbed until eight o'clock in the morning. At the hour appointed we still had difficulty in seeing him, and finally I enlisted the assistance of Mr. McKinley, who was there, and the Hon. Joseph Medill of The Chicago Tribune, to help me to prevail upon Blaine to keep his engagement.
Buck, slightly confused, tugged at Blaine's sleeve, saying: "Come on! They're waiting for us somewhere." With a start of surprise Blaine obeyed, and each bearing his hand-bag, they set out dumbly after the station official who had already picked up a couple of suit-cases.
People could not help noticing that the millionaire spent a great deal more time at Miss Blaine's desk than was necessary to transact legitimate business, and it would not be long before the gossips got busy to her disparagement. For that reason she preferred to resign. Besides, it would be fairer to him.
"Yes, Dick; and thank you!" she said, as we began to mount the stairs. Yet I was still the assistant editor of The Mass Clement Blaine's right hand. The thorns which I have reap'd are of the tree I planted; they have torn me, and I bleed. I should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed. That Sunday night was not one of London's black nights that have been so often described.
As for the strikes, the strikers are the greatest sufferers. I have published a remarkable article on the fiscal system of the United States by an American which I hope you will read. My contributor thinks there are great difficulties ahead in America, and Mr. Blaine's bluster is an attempt to direct public attention into another channel.
Blaine's Eulogy on the Deceased President Attacks on the Administration Daily Life of the President The Star-Route Trials. Mary Walker Senator Hoar's Welcome Dinner to Mr. Justice Gray President Arthur's Dinner in Honor of General and Mrs. Grant The Guests and what the Ladies Wore Mr. Blaine's New Home Marriage of Colonel Coppinger to Miss Blaine.
Is it to be measured by the per diem time pay of ordinary men? Whatever may have been Mr. Conkling's pecuniary interests or professional engagements in the year 1884, he found time to take a quiet part in the contest of that year, and to contribute to Mr. Blaine's defeat. In the month of November, and after the election, I had occasion to pass a Sunday in New York.
