WASHINGTON, Mar. 1l.-Mr. Blaine appears
daily on Pennsylvania avenue, with elastic
stsp and bright eye. He chats freely and says
he has no idea of entering public life again,
and his friends in Maine understand his posi-
ton very WE'LL Senators Hale and Frye are
his personal friends, aud he would do nothing
even il he had the power, to dsplsce either of
them. As for the House, Mr.. Blaine said he
did not care to go back to that body. His dis
trict had done quite enough for him ANA he
was perfectly willing that others should be re-
warded for their services. Mr.. Blaine likes lit
erary work since he has got into it, better than
anything else, and he will write other historl-
cal works, when Twenty Years. in Congress"
Is fashed. He said he had not in all the ex.
citement of the campaign, forgotten his book,
and that no he'd plenty of material for his next
volume. The trouble, be said, was to condense

tsn ton stable. He recognized the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland was elected President and said
the ordinary regrets did not disturb him.
