" Mr. Blaine was travelling in Scotland when the convention of 1888 assembled, and he refused to allow his friends to make him a candidate. On re- ceipt of the news of Harrison's nomination, he tele- graphed his "hearty congratulations, " predicting for his campaign the "triumphant enthusiasm" and "victorious conclusion" that followed his grand- father's nomination in 1840. When Harrison be- came President, Blaine accepted the portfolio of State in his Cabinet, resigning it and returning to his... home in Maine three days before the meeting of the national convention in 1892. It was said by his critics that he resigned because he could not with propriety remain in the Cabinet and be a candidate against his chief before that convention. He had in the preceding February wTitten a letter announcing that he was not a candidate. His action in resign- ing was construed by his friends as permission to use his name and they did so, mustering for him on the only ballot taken 182 votes against the 535 which re- nominated Harrison.
