The Lewiston Saturday Journal has the
following: "If present negotiations are suo-
cessful, it is not unlikely that one of our
New York magazines may soon advertise
the name of Hon. James G. Blaine as its edi-
tor. OF course, it is not probable that Mr..
Blaine will assume any active editorial work
but he will hold the position Of nominal edi-
| tor. 1t is proposed by those who are work.
ing to secure his services that Mr.. Blaine's
name be publicly used in connection with
the magazine, and that one, or if possible,
two brief articles over his signature appear
in each number. For this he will be paid
$1,000 month with an additional $500 each
| month to Re paid some one he will appoint
to have the final say what shall or shall not
be printed in the magazine. 1t Is an open
secfet among Mr.. Blaine's friends that he
has for some time past a decided inclination
| to make some permanent literary connection.
| 1t Is said that he expressed his wish TO a
friend shortly after his return from Europe,
and based on this fact the present offer has
been shaped and submitted to him. Mr..
Blaine's name would. of course, do much
toward attracting attention toward any
magazine with which he might connect him
self, and If common talk amounts to any
thing in the way of selling magazine such
venture might meet with success. Further
than that Mr.. Blaine has directly encour-
aged the submission of definite proposal to
him, nothing is yet known of his probable
decision"
