Excerpt from Life of the Hon. James G. Blaine, Containing an Account of His Last Sickness and Death: Also, Copious Extracts From Some of His Most Important Addresses, Political Writings and State Papers January 31, 1830. His ancestors are all that can be desired to make a man truly great. They were of scotch-irish descent, and in this country they lost none of the philosophy, the thrift and energy characteristic of the Caledonian, none of the wit and personal magnetism of the best Hibernian types. For generations they were men of wealth, possessed of intellect and culture. Men who, un trammeled by the laws of cast, appreciated their wealth only as a means to bring out the best in them. They were of the class that always has and always will represent thought and progress, the class that has made our civilization what it is, around which it now revolves, and on which rests its hope for the future.
