what blaine Will DO.
From the Calais me Times

A great many republicans appear So
licitous to learn Blaine's political inten-
tions, and we areI pleased to s'ate
that it is pretty we'll settled what ne VIII
do. MT,
In this state one of his first political
acts will be to wipe out his little buo
iu Ellsworth, whom he has kept alive
and sustained long enough TO receive MS
reward. Blaine has always in his heart
despised Hale, but hitherto he has had
some use for him and bis tather-in-law.
But the aspect is now changed Hale
was approaching political dissolution IN
IN This state anyway. but Blaine will see
that his burial is very speedy
As to Blaine's plans in relation TO ma
tional politics there are many rumors.
A few days ago he was reported TO be The
ipst,gator of the movement looking TO
the organization of a new political party
This Washington meeting he mas since
Iepudiated. That is not q part Oh his
programme. The news now comes from
Washington, which gives sensible ex'
position to his purpose. lie means 10 Ut
the champion of the simon pure repupii
can party, and all his abilities VIII bt
directed TO arouse the ancient ferV0r OF
the ancient faith. The administration
and the would be leaders OF an admins
tratiou party will be attacked on the
ground that they have abandoned the
ancient faith, and deliberately, with cor
rupt intent, attempted to destroy the
Republican party. The purpose, Of
Blaine is to carry high the standard Of
the simon pure Republican party, and tC
rally to it the loyal element OF the Norti
which was so irreslstably strong during
the war; and through the Reconstruction
he then so sharply and forcibly raised.
There is an apparent apathy in the
public mind which for some time deceived
the administration. ButaS there was NJ
popular uprising, no public demonstra
tons. and no general cutlery by the re.
publican press, Hayes and his advisers
flattered themselves that disaflected ma.
chine politicians like Blaine, as they
termed this popular leader. would soon
be forced to pull in the administration
traces; but after two months experience
they begin to discover that the disaffec-
ton is much more formidable than they
thought possible.
