abstract
| - James Gillespie Blaine (January 31, 1830 – January 27, 1893) was a member of the United States House of Representatives, Speaker of the House, U.S. Senator from Maine, two-time United States Secretary of State, and a dominant Republican leader of the post-Civil War period. He was the Republican candidate for President in 1884, but lost to Democrat Grover Cleveland. His hands-on approach to politics earned him the nickname "The Plumed Knight," but the discovery of scandalous documents during his Presidential campaign caused his opponents to deride him rhythmically as "Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine, the Continental Liar from the State of Maine."
