AN INTERVIEW WITH CONGRESSMAN MILL
KEN.
Hon. S. L. Miliiken was interviewed in Bos-
ton on his way home from Washington and eX-
pressed only the most cheerful views of Re-
publican prospects in his own State and the
country at large. He had no idea who would
be the Democratic candidate. and thought 1t
didn't matter much though he would rather
see Cleveland nominated than any one else
prominently spoken of. His nomination.

PROMPT AND EMPHATIC DENIAL
The Herald from time to time publishes the
names of men in the Republican party who are
claimed TO be hostile to Mr.. Blaine For the
most part such men have not been in the
kePubiIran ranks for some time. In the issue
/ OF edne>day the name of {. NJ. Bailey ESQ
OF lnthrop was given and the remark was
added: Mr.. Bailey is the millionaire oil cloth
manufacturer. and he SAYS that the Plumed
hnlShf has not been Veracious in his official re-
lallonS with him." Mr.. Bailey being In the
city on Nedne>day friend called his attention

The leading business men in Maine, but he is

REED SITS DOWN on s. $ cox
The Congressional Record brings the full re-
port Of the Sunday tilt between Congressman
Reed and Cox. The latter In debate had
quoted language used by himself in a previous
speech. attributing it to Admiral Porter. The
admiral was made to say that il would be I'M
wise 10 vote money for more steel cruisers be-
tore those already on the stocks were tested.
" T. Reed showed by a letter from the admiral
that he never said SO. and by the Record that
NJ Cox had quoted himself for the admiral.
MI. Cox had to acknowledge his funny mis-
take but not before he had made another by
losing his temper and getting decidedly the
worst OF 1t. He or any other man needs to
have perfect command Of himself if he would
encounter the Maine member.

newspaper supports the ticket" If the Age

A BOSTON HERALD MARES NEST.
The Boston Herald has discovered eight Re-
pubcans in the town of Winthrop who will
not vote for Blaine. One of them is a woman,
ana the assertion that she will not vote for
the military TILE Of corporal, which he won by
arduous service in the Aroostook war. HIS
reason for not voting for Blaine is because he
mot the corporal, but Mr.. Blaine) knows too
much, though the prevailing idea in Winthrop
seems to be that the real reason is because the
"corporal'' knows too little. Two of the other
gentlemen have recently ceased to fill public
offices and are under suspicion of being good
deal dlsgruntled with the Republican party on
that account. One of the others has had I'M
pleasant relations with Mr.. Blaine in the past
though of precisely what kind is not stated
The reasons of the other three are not clearly
given. The Herald has also discovered that
the great weight of the Winthrop press is to be
thrown against Mr.. Blaine, and of the journals
of the town having already hoisted the names
of Scion Chase and Lydia Pinkhaln. However
notwithstanding this disaffecton in Winthrop
the Ilerads correspondent sadly confesses that
the Pine Tree State is ''under the domination of
Mr.. Blaine to a humliating degree" Port

OUTSIDE COMMENT.
Redman was nominated for governor of
Maine by the Democrats because no prominent
man would take it, He will be buried SO deep
in September that it will not be known wheth-
er he is Red man or not Lowell Courier.
