oBArcHs or BLAINE or MAINE.
The declaration OF littIe Rhode Island for
Blaine has encouraged his supporters. who
think that It will have its influence. perhaps. on
other States Of New England. Some OF Blaine's
friends assert that he will 20 to Chicago with a
larger vote than he took to Cincinnati. He has

hs has ut least ~ good rs gained Indiana and
Michigan. which were against him before. H.

Pennsylvania for Blaine will assert Itself at
