Blaine was elected as a Republican to the 38th Congress and to the six succeeding Congresses and served from March 4, 1863, to July 10, 1876, when he resigned.
Many, including Blaine himself, attributed his defeat to the effect of a phrase, "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion," used by a clergyman, Rev. Samuel D. Burchard (1812–1891), on October 29 1884, in Blaine's presence, to characterize what, in his opinion, the, United States Democratic Party stood for.
The phrase was not Blaine's, but his opponents made use of it to misrepresent his attitude toward the Roman Catholics, large numbers of whom are supposed, in consequence, to have withdrawn their support.
