 | | With many early evidences of literary capacity and political aptitude, J.G. Blaine graduated at Washington College in Washington, Pennsylvania, in 1847, and subsequently taught successively in the Western Military Institute, Blue Lick Springs, Kentucky and from 1852-1854, he taught at the Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind in Philadelphia. |
 | | 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. |
