Senator Blaine interviewed.
A Lively Chat on Maine Politics.

Senator Blaine said to New York Herald
interviewer few days since: 81 feel quite
confident that we shall carry the whole five
Maine Congressional districts. Two may be
counted out as offering no contest-the Second
and Third In the First think General An
derson will be more badly beaten than he was
two years ago In the Fourth and Fifth
Murch and Lada will both be beaten"
Said the Senator: Governor Davis is con-
nscted with the Free Baptist society, and
while all our religious denominations in Maine
uphold the cause of prohibition this is espec.
tally and emphatically true of two churches
the Free Baptist and the Methodist. You can
scarcely find member of either Of these
churches throughout the length and breath of
the State that has not always been radical
anti-slavery man and a radical temperance
man. Governor Davis's religion connections,
no less than his personal character, commend
him in an especial manner to the confidence of
the friends of the temperance cause in Maine"
"Who do you think, Mr.. Blaine, was chiefly
responsible for originating the count out?' -
"The design of it originated, 1 have no
doubt. with Eben f. Pllsbury. He found the
executive council ready to cooperate with him
in everything, and the State officers equally
prepared to do his bidding
''DO you Unlnk Cne cOuuClllOrS all were
equally guilty."
"Yes, in proportion to their intelligence.
John B. Foster was far the ablest OF them,
and therefore by far the most responsible
Fogg was Jealous and eager, but, as Horace
Greeley said of a man, he started in life as a
fool and improved by cultivation. His run
ming for Congress against Frye, is simply dis
graceful to the men who put him up. Simon
Brown, of the Council, knew better, and is es-
pecially guilty, especially for the mode in
which he defrauded his own town of Fairfield
of her ballot. The other members of tho
Council were men of no account, belonging to
that class who get thrown to the front in great
and sudden excitements, such as the green
back furore in 1878 and 1872
"Do you think that Governor Garcelon was
equally guilty with the Council?"
swell, a great many of our people, reading
Garcelon's humilating testimony before the
Investigating Committee, have been too much
disposed to let him off under the Baby act
This requires very great stretch of human
charity. The foolishness of his cond1ct
throughout was quite as conspicuous as its falls
ity, and the general verdict of our people is
that very respectable physician was suddenly
had and the worst that is conceivable, unless
it should be Plaisted elected on platform that
would forgive Garcelon's folly and approve his
gigantic offense against a free ballot"
"Well speaking of Plaisted, inferred from
what you said few moments ago that you do
not fear his electon?"
''Oh, not at all. He will be beaten by thous-
ands. He will be beaten in his own ward in
his own city, in his own county, in his own
district, and throughout the State; beaten
everywhere"

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
A Protest by Costa RIGA.

PANAMA, Aug. 16-The government of
Costa Rica has formally protested against the
validity of the contract for the construction OF
an utter oceantic canal, concluded in Mana
qua, May 25th. 1t will not consent to such
document. not because the material interests
Of the country would suffer by the completion
of the work, but because the signing of such
contracts without the previous consent of
Costa Rica is an offence against the honor and
dignity of the nation. This protest bears date
jane 26th, and is answered by the Nicaragua
government, July 18th, by denial of Costa
Rica's claims and request for. that power to
reconsider its protest. Costa Rica claimed
equal interest and a common right with Mica
ragua to the free use of San Juan river and
harbor.
1t is believed the government of Colombia
has addressed an ultimatum to Costa Rica on
the question of the State boundaries.
