WASHINGTON, June 24.- Hon. James
G. Blaine is at his Augusta home. Senator
John Sherman is somewhere in the wild
West Although distance is thus between
these two distinguished lights in the Re
publican party, there is a belief that they
are getting good deal nearer together in
fellow feeling. The announcement, made
by way of Cincinnati, that Blaine
will stump Ohio this fall, is
full of reflective meat. Blaine
cherishes, doubtless. for his allies in the
Buckeye state the warmest feelings, and
has not forgotten the splendid majority
given him last fall. Still it is not fair to
assume that MIR. Blaine contemplates the
hustings merely to aid Candidate Foraker
this were all, the significance of his al
national sense, the game would not be
worth the candle. To correctly get at the
MOTIVE OF THE MAINE MAN,
it is well, as the old Irish judge was wont
to say: ITO put this and that together"
Not great while ago Mr.. Blaine told a
friend, who made him visit, that he was
not again anxious to figure as presiden-
tial candidate. Moreover, he told him that
for many reasons he would rather be Sec
retary Of state than president; that it was
position man in public life could enjoy
without being subjected to the criticisms
and embarrassments which attach
to the presidential office. Now this gives
point of triangulation. May
not Mr.. Blaine cherish the hope that the
vicissitudes of politics will again install him
in his old position as premier? In this
view of his future, it is not at all improba-
BILE that Blaine may seek to enter the
between Sherman and Foster, and unite in
tial candidate upon the condition precedent
that the Plumed Knight is
TO BE THE SECRETARY OF STATE
in the event of successful canvass. At
first blush such an arrangement would seem
to be incredible. A little reflection, how
ever, brings back to mind that had it not
been for Blaine. aided by Foster, who was
his ally, John Sherman would have had the
support of the Ohio delegation at the ma
tionals conventions held in 1880 and in
1884. That he did not have its support
is now history. FOrewarned with the
lcSSOllS pdSG, WlldI Is LlOic udbuIdl Llldu bIldL
Senator Sherman should seek to enter any
combination which will assure him COM
pactly the support of his own state-the
third in the union. Those who study the
complications of politics from this stand
point fully believe that Sherman has agreed
to get out of Fosters way for the United
States senate. This paves the way for re-
union of the very elements which have been
ho for Sborm in
HIS PRESIDENTIAL HOPES.
To add to this alliance such potent
power as James G. Blaine, makes it one of
such invincibility that it's grandeur is the
more fully realized the more it is studied.
The landmarks thus far add plausibility to
the alliance, for the reason that the plat
form Of the recent Springfield coll-
vention but re-echoes, the bloody
shirt speech made by Blaine in
Augusta last fall, when he conceded reluct-
antly his defeat for the presidency. 1t can
be discounted in advance that if Blaine
stumps Ohio it will not have for it's prime
motive the mere election of Foraker as gov
ernor, but rather fixed purpose which,
though now occult, may reveal itself as
time drags its slow length along.
