fnPHCYAL TO TIE EvENtN6 VonLD.I
SANDY HOOK, Aug. 1o-The first object that
greeted the eyes of Mr.. Blaine as he looked
out of the window Of his statemoom this
morning was the long blue streamer with the
words {" rHE WORLD" on it flying from the
flagstaff of The woRLp's tug.
Since the City of New York left Queens
town NO craft has touched her iron sides
until THE WORLD tug hailed the great ship.
It was Just at daybreak, and the long roll
of the open ocean q it q perilous task to
board the steamer, then Eve miles outside
the Hook, and learn from T. O. Crawford,
the London correspondent Of Tn WORLD,
the story of the trip.
The passage has been almost without incl
dent.
The breaking of the vacuum pump in the
engine. which delayed the ship twelve hours,
was the only exception.
Mr.. Blaine enjoyed every hourfof the yoy-
age, and remained on deck nearly the whole
time. He made many .acquaintances among
the passengers and took 8 lively interest In
everything that was going on.
The City Of New York anchored at sunrise
outside the bar. The eager passengers were
given all the latest news, and the announce;
ment Of Gen. Sheridan's death was received
At ten minutes after s O'Clock THE WORLD
tug dipped its flag .saluted and steamed away,
while the passengers shouted adieu and gave
expressions Of thanks.
They expressed high appreciation Of the
enterprise of The WORLD.
The noise aroused Mr.. Blaine, and his
~well-known features were seen for q moment
at the portfolio of his stateroom. Tn pilot
shouted out that he would not start up for
quarantine until Z o'clock, and o score of
sailors were busy hosting a fine display of
flags from every spar on thelsteamship.
BLAINE CONFIDENT OF HARRIsos's ELECTION.
Mr.. Blaine said he WAS confident that Har-
rison and Morton. would be elected H re.
lied not only on the personal popularity and
records Of the candidates to carry them to
victory, but even II these should fail. the
paramount issue Of protection to American
labor was enough to achieve o triumph.
Whom questioned regarding. the States in
which the Republican candidates would
make the largest gains for their party MI.
Every State that has protected manu-.
featuring industry should come to their sup
port. The more factories in the State. the
greater the gains. II is NO longer a question
firesides."
How does the new tariff bill. introduced
by Mr.. Mills, please you ?" was asked.
That is the bill to which I make obieo.
near free trade as to terrify the working.
people with O menace of low wages.
Will the Mills bill become o law :"
"Of course do not know. I hardly thinl

Win you speak in the coming campaign p

times, hat depends upon many things whicf
cannot know at this time. I should like x
talk to my old friends in Maine, and shAl
not probably leave the State when / &c
home until after the September election
Still that depends upon so much that is I'M
knownt that I cannots speak with certainty.n
And vour health. Mr.. Blaine 2n
