So when former Gov.

Blaine was also the "odds-on favorite to be the Republican presidential nominee in 1888," but declined for personal reasons -- probably because his wife had had enough of the dirty politics and journalism muckraking, Rolde said.
Blaine and his wife discounted that, saying they had been married in Kentucky first, where marriages weren't registered.
