lie is ono of the few suCce55ful men of

Accident the great guidu and controll-

much to do in determining Mr. Blame's
career , ills paper soon gave Linn a solid

people , Blaine took naturally to politics ,
and with leis paper soots acquired au in-
Auence with the Ilotverful political ring
that has arbitrarily ruled Mauto for years.
Within a few years he was to become the
chief spirit aid unyielding dictator to
this combination ,
Blame was very active at the outset of
the war in procuring contracts for some
of his ? Ininu friends , abd in that way
laid the foundation for his subsequent
, fortune. It is ono of the charges made
against Mr. Blnhno that lie entered congress -
