igratlOn, with the exception OF the IGiSLs
American element. The Irish Americans,
they believe, would give stronger vote
for Mr.. Blaine than ever before. They
think that the recent Dynamite treaty
| will practically make the Irish merican
element solid for Mr.. Blaine if he should
be candidate in 1SSS. They do rot in
any way underestimate the opposition of
the Mugwumps. In the event of Mr..
Cleveland being renominated they believe
that he would receive every Mugwump
vote which was given him in 1854.
More than this, Mr.. Blaine and all Of
his friends believe that Mr.. Cleveland
will be renominated They do not pay
much attention to the outside talk about
other candidates. They say that the
Democratic party will have to take Mr..
Cleveland or confess to defeat in ad-
vance. They regard him as the caudi-
date that the Democrats will nominate
and are making all of their calculations
at the present time upoa the theory that
MIR. Cleveland will be renominated.
CONGRESSMAN FINERTY LETTER.
A Blaine man said to me today that he
regarded Mr.. Cleveland as one of tie
most fortunate of men. His good fol-
tune continues and it is a question whetL-
er it may not continue for some time.
OF Mr.. Blaine it can be truly said that
he is at present simply a patient and
acute observer of national events. He
feels that there is no haste in becoming
embroied again with the intrigues and
excitemenLs of national party politics.
much as he cares to endure on mele
chance. | am sure that if Mr. Blaine
permits his name to 60 before the NJ
tional Convention in 1888 it will be be-
cause he believes that the Democratic
party then can be defeated and that lie
himself can encompass that defeat. The
Irish Americans throughout the country
appear to be looking to him as Their
champion. The foreign policy of the
State Department is a constant subject
of comment and criticism in their con-
munications to Mr.. Blaine or his lieutel-
ants. Ex-Congressman John f. Finerty.
the editor of the Irish Citizen in Chicago.
in recent letter to Col. Marley at Au-
gusta, said that he hoped to be able to
make the fight over again in 1888, with
Mr.. Blaine, to overthrow 1.-THE subsidiary
English Government" at Washington,
This expression of Finerty's is echoed by
many of his Irish-American associates.
Finerty is an out and-out Democrat. WHO
if he had been content to run for Cor
gress in the last campaign without any
regard to the national ticket, would have
been elected by great majority. But
he espoused the cause of Mr.. Blaine ard
went down with him. Mr.. Finerty saws
that all of the Irish Americans of tie
West, without any regard to party, are
against the present Administration at
Washington. He says that they all want
MIR. Blaine for a leader against the A6-
minstration. Finerty is an enthusiast
| and devoted friend. Doubtless he col
orS high his statement of facts concern
ing the Irish American element, but the
letters that pour in from the prominent
Irish Americans throughout the country
| indicate about the same spirit and tone
as that shown in Mr.. Finertys letter.

BAR HARBoR, Aug 17.-Mr. Blaine's
cottage is on the crest of one of the high
est points overlooking Frenchmen's Bay.
1t is not palace, as some extravagant
writers have called it. 1t is handsome

Gated many times along the coast

shore towns. have no idea what the
landSnpon which it was built did cost,
but the house could certainly be built

During the two or three days that
have been at Bar Harbor have heard as
much gossip and comment about the
Blaines as | did two years ago, when l
was here in the midst of a Presidential
campaign where he was one of the prin-
cipal figures. There is today as much in
terest in his movements and what he says
as then. Few believe that Mr.. Blaine's
career is at an end. He is yet too young.
There is no Republican who is today con-
suited as much by his associates as he,
and it is probable that there is any Re-
publican in the country who takes more
interest in politics than he. HIS mali
every day is frelghted down with news
papers and letters His headquarters
here at Bar Harbor is the centre of as
much political information of about
what is going on in the country as Wash
ington. If Mr.. Blaine were to establish
at Bar Harbor news bureau for the pur
pose of furnishing the news that comes
to him every day by mail and messenger,
think he would make almost as much
money as he has out of his book.

MIR. Blaine at Home.

Mr.. Blaine's year of retirement and
rest has renewed his youth. The last
time that saw him was just before his
leaving Washington in June, 1855. He
came to Washington soon after the cleo
ton and remained there during the Win
ter. In June of that year he went to
Augusta. He has been out of Maine
only once or twice since, and then for the
purpose of consulting with his Connecti-
cut publishers. He came forward to
meet me yesterday with the energy and
alacrity of his best days. The quiet days
at Augusta, the reposeful life of a liter
airy student, have swept from his face
every sign of nervous care or annoyance.
His color is as clear pink as that of
young boy. His eyes are bright with
the light of high health and content
ment. During the talk that l had with
him in the morning he occasionally would
change his position and walk up and
down as If The supertiuous energy of his
ply vigor required action. He was
dressed in suit of dark-gray Scotch
tweed. His white linen was ornamented
with plain gold buttons. l mention the
color of the linen because nearly every
man, old or young, grave or gay, at Bar
Harbor wears striped or fancy flannel
shirts. His high white collar was encir-
cled by plain silk band Mr.. Blaine's
beard aid mustache are now nearly snow
white. HIS hair is also white, with soft
gray tones through it. But the freshness
of his color, the alertness of his look and
the vigor of his fine physique take away
any idea of age that would be suggested
by the wilderness of his beard and hair.
He does not look day older than his
real age-fifty five years. MIR. Blaine
has not done any literary work since he
finished his second volume of his
Twenty Years of Congress" That
book was finished last winter. Since
that time he has been simply resting,
reading the newspapers and visiting with
his friends. He does not intend to write
any more books at present. The life of
subscription book extends through an
average period of six years. Contrary to
rumor, Mr.. Blaine has no new book in
hand, though his Maine friends believe
he will begin one next year. His history
has had very extended sale throughout
the country. From his friends l have
learned that the number already sold
runs beyond the publishers anticipation.
Mr.. Blaine receives so cents volume
from his publishers. The history will
net him a snug fortune.

What His Maine Friends Say.
Is Mr.. Blaine a candidate?

Is Mr.. Blaine candidate?
This is question which is asked by
nearly every Republican politician who
comes to Bar lIarbor, and good many
have quiet way of dropping into this
far-otf corner for the purpose of talking
with Mr.. Blaine. There are no news
papers published here. 1t is visited only
by an occasional correspondent. Politi-
clans can come here without attracting
much notice. To all of these gentlemen
Mr.. Blaine is cordial and agreeable.
There is no change in his manner. lie
takes a keener interest in politics at the
present time than he ever has. He asks
more questions than he answers. To
most of his visitors he is very non-com-
mitted SO far as his personal views are
concerned. His taking part in the can
vass in Maine is considered by some as
an open and avowed candidacy. Yet
friend of his said to me only Yesterday
he could not have stayed out of the cam
paign. He will be criticised for taking
part in it. His motives will be regarded
as those of personal ambition, while If he
should not take part in the campaign be
would have been crucitied by his friends
at Acme. Whether he remained silent
or not he could not escape criticism.
WILL NOT LEAD \ FORLORN HOPE.
No one who has talked with Mr..
Blaine's friends throughout this State
can have any doubt but that Mr.. Blaine
would be a candidate again if in 1888 he
| thinks the Republican party will have
good fighting chance. He does not pro-
pose, bis friends say, to lead a forlorn
| hope again. 1t is fact that Mr.. Blaine
party as very poor during the spring of
1884. He thought that the Republican
party then contained within itself the
| elements of defeat. The situation throgh-
out the country, SO far as it related to
business, also conspired TO aid in contri-
buting to this defeat. Mr.. Blaine was
frequently heard to say up to within
mouth of the Chicago Convention that he
thought the Republican party would be
defeated that year. Within few days
before the Chicago Convention he said to
a caller: "Do you know what am afraid
of the Chicago Convention?' "What
is it that you fear, was asked, ''the tide
appears to be running your way" Mr..
Blaine replied !: My fear is that will
| be nominated.
| AND AS To LOGAN?
He then went on to explain that he
thought then That the Republican party
could not win, and for that reason he was
not anxious to be its leader in the cam
paigu. Yet when the nomination came
to him he did not refuse it any more than
he will refuse it probably if it is tender
ed him in 1883. He does not think that

MR.. BLAINE'S PLANS.

| have had several conversations with
Mr.. Blaine since coming to Bar Harbor.
He has talked freely upon current topics,
but has carefully avoided all personali-
ties. He appears to be in the best of
spirits and temper. From Mr.. Blaine
personally learned yesterday something
which will interest all the politicians of
the country. He intends to take part in
the Maine compaign and will make from
twelve to fifteen speeches. The first
speech will be made at Lake Sebago,
near Portland, on the 23d of this month.
1t has been said that he would make the
opening speech of the campaign, but it
is not known that he intends to take a
general and active part in it. Mr.. Blaine
said yesterday on this subject: 81 shall
merely do what have done in the past
in campaigns in this State. l have al
ways taken an active part and interest in
them. l know no reason why l should
sit silent now. | am citizen of the
United States, without office or RESPONSE

in any way"
HIS IDEAS ON NATIONAL ISSUES.
Mr.. Blaine was asked what he thought
would be the issues of the coming cam
paign. He said 81 think the fight will
will be made upon the old lines of 1884,
The parties are now more closely united
for and against the protective tariff sys-
tenn than ever before
should infer from what Mr.. Blaine
said that he does not approve the foreign
policy of the Administration, including
the question of the fisheries, though he
regards the latter as more especially in.
teresting to New England than to the
country at large.
A gentleman who was present when
the fishery question was referred to said

Mr. Blaine does not intend to go back
to Washington this winter. He will re-
main at Augusta. He went to Washing
ton year ago last winter because it was
necessary for him to consult the authori-
ties in the Congressional Library in CON-
pleting important chapters of his book.
l tried to get Mr.. Blaine to discuss the
campaign of ISIS, but beyond the quota
ton given in the conversation above con-
corning the issues of that campaign he
would not talk for publication. He
spends his time at Bar Harbor in read
ing, driving and visiting. There is a
large cottage colony at Bar Harbor. His
cottage is constantly besieged by politi-
cal and fashionable callers. Nearly every
one is received either in the large central
sitting room or upon the broad veranda
which overlooks the pine forest and the
blue sea below.
