James G. Blaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Blaine, on the other hand, contended that representation should be based on population instead of voters, as being fairer to the North, where the ratio of voters varied widely, and he insisted that it should be safeguarded by security for impartial suffrage. |
 | | Blaine was Secretary of State in the Cabinets of Presidents James Garfield and Chester Arthur from March 5 to December 12, 1881. |
 | | The phrase was not Blaine's, but his opponents made use of it (and his refusal to publicly disavow it) to characterize his attitude toward the Roman Catholics, large numbers of whom are presumed, in consequence, to have withdrawn their support (ironically, Blaine's mother was a Roman Catholic of Irish descent). |
