Plans for the Future.
AUGUSTA, June 9.-Mr. Blaine passed Sat
urday and Sunday very quietly. He took
carriage Saturday and drove to the factories of
the Edwards Manufacturing Company, in
which his son Emmons is a stakeholder. He
appeared to enjoy the ride very much, and fire.
quently recognized friends and acquaintance
with a pleasant smile and bow. He was much
interested in the mills and inspected them
carefully, taking especial notice of the i'm ,
proyemen,s being made there. On returning
home, Mr.. Blaine occupied part of the time
strolling about the grounds of his mansion.
With head uncovered he paced back and
forth for while on the lawn, and gave atten-
ton to the operations of workmen engaged in
repairing the water system of the house. His
favorite position is resting in the hammock be-
tween the apple trees, where he first received
the news of his election to the candidacy.
He constantly refuses to be interviewed, and
reporters who have made the experiment Of
calling on him for the purpose of an interview
have invariably heen unsuccessful. With his
political friends, however, he talks freely and
expresses himself in regard o the situation.
That Mr.. Blaine will make Augusta his
headquarters during the coming campaign
there is but little doubt. He has already or
dsred three horses to be purch ased for use.
There was q demonstration Saturday even
Jog at the residence of Hon. ]. Fl Manley in
honor OF Mr.. Blaine's nomination. There was
gathering of people and pretty display Of
fireworks, a large. number of rockets being
sent mp.
The news that the Boston Advertiser had
repudiated Blaine is made but small account
account of in Augusta. The matter ELECTED
more or less discussion among politicians One
well-known Republican remarked: "Let the
kickers trylit on il they wish. When the peo-
pie come to vote they will he astonished.''
