to his paper that he is firmly conunc-
ed that Blaine is gaining ground, and 1t
would not be surprising II the Plumed
knight should roll up one of the big
gest mGjorities ever gwen IN Maine to q
presidential ticket. In no other state
can be found more intelligence, more
love OF morality and ell that Is truly
good In mankind. than IN Maine, There
are men who don't like Blaine, but there
are more who do. They are to be found
in all parts. They have watched his
public career from the beginning. and
they not only admire his splendid abili-
ty, but they like his progressive and sg-
gressive spirit. Bis public acts cause q
difference in public opinion because
viewed from partisan standpoint.
