WASHINGTON, June 10.-Col. Tom
Bayne, of PittsbuTg, who is to represent
Pennsylvania in the Cabinet be thinks.
if Blaine is elected returned to the House
to-day from Chicago. He stirred the
hearts Of the Blaine men so that the
hurrah began again. This is the way
Bayne talks in an interview published
/ this evening: ''There will be no bolt.
/ The kickers in 1880 were far more numer-
Gus than they are now. just remember
what they did Immediately after Garfield
was nominated. and yet they all fell into
| line as early as the October elections.
! The outlook in 1880 was nothing like as
/ encouraging as it is now"
'FWbat States will Blaine carry -
81 think that Blaine will carry every
| Northern State and West Virginia and
! North Carolina. That will give him 265
| electoral votes. North Carolina and West
! Virginia are naturally protective tariff
| States. The old Wing element is strong
| in both of them. In addition to that fact
| the people of North Carolina have a great
| local grievance. They are denied local self
| government and are governed almost
| wholly by the Legislature and the ex0cu-
tive department.
RELYING ON STUMP sPEACHEs.
"If good Republican speakers are sent
| down there and the people are
! shown the advantages Of protection and
are promised relief in the direction of
| local sel1-goVernment, there is scarcely a
doubt but that the State can be carried,
| Into West Virginia there has gone a large
| amount of Northern capital, and there
has been a great development of the
States resources. Upon those two facts
| base my prediction that we will carry
| the State"
''Wha about the abuse of Blaine?"
fThat abuse will recoiI upon the origi-
nators of such a method in politics. /
should not be surprised to see Blaine clubs
organized all over the country, which will
assume the names Of the terms which his
detractOrs apply to him. The people are
unwilling to convict one of their number
without evidence. They are in favor of
fair play. Those who imagine that they
can render great man Odious by derision
and abuse mistake the character of the
American people. 1t is not improbable
that clubs will voluntarily assume the
name of Tattoo Clubs in order to show
how little they care for such shameful po-
litical methods. The great fact which is
already presented by this canvass will
stimulate and strengthen the conclusion
that personal abuse will recOil upon its
originators."
HOW BLAINE WAS NOMINATED.
''What were the principal elements
which led to Blaine's Nomination."
'The Blaine men were a cohesive body.
They held the same political views, and
were Stayers. The elements which sup

dant. just picture to yourself anything
like the spectacle like G. William Curtis
and Flanagan, of Texas. ho5nObbing
together and affectionately shaking
hands. The opposition to Blaine,"
he said, "wilI amount to nothing
at all. The dissatisfaction will
soon melt away and the campaign will
be conducted with enthusiasm. All the
sober-thinking men are with the ticket,
whether it is the one they would like best
or not. In Massachusetts we have Long,
Hoar, Dawes and Gov. Robinson, who will
support the ticket, and such men will be,
followed by the State. They will not give
up everything to the enemy because the
ticket might not be that of their choice.
The ticket is very strong.'
THE INDEPENDENTS WEAK.
William Walter Phelps says that the
Independent opposition to Blaine will
tiOn called and some decided steps taken,
and this cannot be done unless it is done
in few days. That they will act prompt
ly is not likely. They will be tempted to
wait until after the Democrats hold their
convention. Then it will be too late for
action, and they will fall back into the
Republican ranks. Another thing. there
is no combined action and no definite OBJ
ject in view. Some of their leaders are
wildly for Blaine. Pennsylvania is the
great centre of the Independent move
ment, and there they are enthusiastically
for Blaine. The leading Independents are
eXtravagant Blaine supporters. The only
positive opposition is in New York and
Massachusetts, and that will not effect
much, for even there they are not united.
Ethan Allen, one OF their acknowledged
leaders, is a noted Blaine man. Blaine
will lose votes in Boston, but all the rab-
BILE throughout the State that went over
to Butler will be glad enough to get back
into the party by casting their votes for
the Maine statesman. This will vastly
more than make up for the loss in Boston.
NEW HAMPSHIRE IN DANGER.
Senator Pike was asked if the assertion
that Blaine may lose New Hampshire has
any foundation in fact. He replied:
''Well, you know we (the Republicans)
| have not much margin in New Hamp-
| shire. We have only about 5000 to $500,
but then l don't feel any fears yet, though
| Arthur would have been stronger in New
Hampshire than Blaine. If nothing hap
| pens to operate against the ticket think
| that it will carry New Hampshire. though
Massachusetts, may be in danger"
CALIFORNIA NOT FOR BLAINE.
Senator Farley, of California, said that
Blaine will hold his party strength in
California; no more. He is just as strong
as his party, and it is not strong enough
to carry the State. He will not get any
Democratic votes and there is no reason
why he should. AS to the Chinese ques-
ton, it is not Blaine's record that will be
examined but the record of his party.
The Democratic party is sound on that
question. 1t has always been so. The
Republican party is not. California is
Democratic State and Mr.. Blaine cannot
carry 1T.
MORGAN INDIGNANT.
Senator Morgan said that it was a
shame for the Republicans to put up
man like Blaine on such a shambling,
meaningless platform as they have.
Senator Walker, of Arkansas, says that
Blaine will be overwhelmed, and that he
will be beaten 100 electoral votes.
Senator Jonas says: "Blaine will not
get an electoral vote in the South. He
will never be elected.''

vention," said Judge Poland, of Vermont.
"We usually take higher position than
the rest of the country, and if we can't
bring the country up to our standard, why
we have TO come down little to meet it.
AS the nominee of the party was Blaine,
he will secure the usual number of votes
in Vermont, which is all there is"
| VIRGINIA TO BE THOROUGHLY CAN
VASSED.
Collector Brady, Readjuster, of Vir-
ginia, was asked: ''Will Virginia go for
BlaineY'
"We are going to do all we can, and l
think we will carry the State for Blaine
and Logan. We go into the campaign
very strong. Every paper in the State,
especially the Democratic papers, have
had articles telling what a good man
Blaine is. We are going to bring that fact
out in the canvass and throw an electric
light ON it,"
''Will Senator Malone support Blaineiv
''Of course he WILL"
Blaine Not a Friend of Mexico.
CITY OF MEXICO, June 10.-The Mont
| tor Republican, speaks of the nomination
of Blaine as bad news, saying that as a
Senator and as Secretary Of State he was
never friend OF Mexico.
