THE MAINE MAN PLAYING IT FINE.

RICHMOND, September 25.-The interview
had by q Chicago Tribune reporter with
Mr.. Blaine on the political situation in this
State, and recently published, has caused .
considerable fiutter among politicians here.
That part Of the alleged interview in which
the e1 Secretary is quoted as favoring the
assumption Of virginias debt by the gen.
erai government has attracted especial at
tsntion among leaders in this State, a. we'll
as many prominent representative poliu-
clans from some Of the Southern States
now in this vicinity. Mr.. Blaine's eener-
oSity in this matter is generally looked up
on asa
Sly Diplomatic Did
for the good will Of the Southern, and par
ticularly Virginia people. He Il nov look.
ed upon practically rs the silent head Of
the ant. .Nahone Republicans in this State.
Through his friends, Mr.. Blaine disputes
the statement that he disclaims having cor.
responded with Virgins Republicans sincs
the opening of the present canvass He b
believed to be aware Of every important
movement by that wing. His name, In.
deed, is all that keeps the factions Of
straightouts together. Many Of the leaders
some sort OF assurance that Blaine will
stand By Them ia The Faiare,
IL he is in position to do %. As the major
ity Of the anti ti.Mahone Republicans are ex-
oiiiceholders and those whose sntasonism
OF Malone has brought upon them the dis
favor Of the Administration, they volun-
tarily seek an alliance with some one who
can strike the Virginia boss a blow. Blaine
has been pointed out 10 them as the man
best able TO accomplish this. Mr.. Blains's
intimation Of his desire 10 sec the Federal
Government render Virginia aid In pay
ment Of her debt, is no new proposition.
1t Is q somewhat singular coincidence, but
the same theory was q private one of the
late Henry A. Wise, whose son, John 4
Wise, is now Mahone's candidate for. Con.
gresham at-lsrge. His father advocated
this move! idea OF getting rid OF the debt
upon somewhat the same grounds OF equity
advanced by Blaine.
