Pine RepubIlcan an Outlook.

| BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug. 27.-Mr.
Blaine was dressed aud about the house
o-day. He received number of call
ers. When he went away to Strong
last week it was very warm. When he
LETT Augusta to return to Bnr Harbor he
left his overcoat behtp}. He went
away from Augusta when the ther-
moneter was at 95 10 meet an atmos-
phere Of 65. Upon the ferryboat he be-
came thoroughly chilled, and the result
was cold OF such serious character
that real illness was threatened.
Mr.. Blaine has been doing too much
this year. He has been working on his
book while keeping in hand the details
OF the Maine and National campaign.
He realizes this and has practically
stopped work on the book, and will net
resume work upon it until after the
November election. Az he intends TO
remain In Augusta during next winter
at any event, he will then find time To
complete the book within the contract
time, that is, one year from the date of
publication of the first volume. Mr..
Blaine will probably leave Bar Harbor
next Saturday to 60 to Augusta for a
few days.
| Ex-Attorney- General Devens, Of NJ as
sachusetts il now here and will remain
until Friday. He says that Massachu
setts will be strongly Republican, this
year, and that the Independent move
'nehr there has no real strength. A
N mber of the Republican National
Committee. who is here, says that Mr..
Blame is greatly pleased with the let
ter OF Senator Hoar printed yesterday
morning. This strong, clear and con-
vincing letter is to be printed as one of
the campaign documents of the National
lCemmittee. The Republicans i'll this
State are much encouraged at Sen. Ed
munos coming out as he did at Burling-
ton yesterday. 1t was thought by some
that Edmunds would remain lukewarm
for personal reasons. His cordial e.p-
dorsement Of the Republican ticket has
therefore, great weight, particularly as
the Democrats had been laying great
stress npon his silence.
II 1t Is also understood here that Sena'
, tor Edmunds will make one extended
, speech during the campaign. This
, position OF the ideal candidate of the
independents takes away the last sup.
port Of the boilers. Senator Hoar't
. letter Is to be translated into German
/; The letter Is most highly praised for it'
7 calm, judicial tone, and utter absence
OF any personal reflection upon the
D independent opponents of Mr.. Blaine
G 1t is a question still whether ex
: Senator Conkling will take any part IL
y the political campaign. Some of hi
Q New York friends think that he will
g All agree that if he ever intends u
r enter politics again that now is hi
/. opportunity. 1t is significant fac
g that Alfred Conkling, the ex-senator
nephew, IL an ardent Blaine.-.man. IL
s has been in Bar Harbor for several day
o of rest and recreation. During his sta
II here he repeatedly called upon MI
It Blaine, and assured him that he shoul,
IT lspeak for him in the State OF Ney
y York. Alfred Conkling is q fine Gel
j. man scholar. He intends to max
II several German speeches during tn
canvass.
el An intimate friend of Mr.. Blaine sal
l. to-day: There is nothing in this tai
.s about the people being apathetic i
% this canvass. The campaign is no,
F. further along than that of four yeai
3, ago. The people never get excite
. over politics in August. Neither
fl there much talk about Ohio beiu
,s doubtful. Ohio is Republican Stat,
The votes are there and all that Is r,
l. quired is some little care in gettin
It them out. Ohio is certain, and thin
t, we have a good chance for West vi
q gipia.
