Mr.. Frank L. Powell Of the News, who
is travelling abroad with Rev. Samuel R.
Fuller and party, writes from 6enoa,
Italy, as follows, under date of April 81:
GRAND HOTEL DU PARC,1
A. MAJoCCHI, PRoPR.,
GENOA, ITALY, April p, 1855 }
We have just arrived at the above
named hotel, where we stop to break the
journey to Rome. Another party of four
people arrived the same time as ours.
They proved to be James G. Blaine, Mrs.
Blaine, Miss Blaine and another lady.
After dinner l sent up my card to MIR.
Blaine, WAS admitted to his room. and
after few words in social way the fol-
lowing interview took place regarding the
comming campaign:
"What do you think of Chauncey M
Depew for President, Mr.. Blaine?"
~ think he is good man, very good
indeed"
"Do yon think he can secure the Re.
publican nomination for 1882"
"Yes, l think very likely he will sue
coed in doing So"
"Will Mr.. Cleveland be renomina.ed
on the Democratic side?"
eyes, think so. He seems to have
given general satisfaction to the Demo
crats."
"Do you think Mr.. Depew would run
against Mr.. Cleyelsnd2"
"We1l, l am not prepared to say. Mr..
ENepe#, if he accepts the Republican
nhnlination, would be forced to give up
bis position as president of the New York
Central Road, which is very lucrative
one, for one that is not. That is, il is In
one way. But Whatever the position is
worth, you are told you are expected to
spend SO much of it anyway"
zEIn what way is the President Of the
Omitted States expected to spend money
excepting to entertain foreign minis
ters?"
"Oh, in hundred little ways, which
soon use up the most of it."
"Do you think Mr.. Copkling had any
idea or desire for the. presidency before
he died?"
ono; candidly, do not. Mr.. Conkling
WAS just the head OF his profession, and
1 do not think he would have accepted
the nomination"
"Do you intend to enter the field
again."
"Most assuredly not. Lam over here
for rest and comfort, and am through with
politics for awhile"
"Rhat chance do you think there is,for
nominations for Sherman, Hill and the
others?"
"They are secondary. or course those
least thought Of may be chosen, but I
think the race will be between DepeW
and Cleveland"
"Do you think Depew would fill such al
high Office ecceptably?" n
eyes, Chsuncey M. Depew is an abis, |
active man, and has brilliant qualities, |
but outside of ali these he is a.tfue, |
man and good-hearted and con-
scientious." y,
"Would you support him il he were
eyes, certainly, He Is very good
friend of mine, and l should feel that 1
WAS doing right in giving him my best |
support"
"But would you be able to take part in |
have made you out very sick"
80, yes, l know they have, but then 1 |
would much rather be sick on paper than |
h reesity."
sThen you have not been very ill?"
"Nos at all. Do look very sickiy?"
II inquired Mr.. Blaine with smile.
"Tnen you consider Mr.. Depew's |
chances as good as anybody's?"
Eyes, l certainly do"
Mr.. Blaine talked in hale and hearty
style and looks the picture of what he is
ia healthy man in mind and body" He
;onversed on different topics for fully half
IN hour. Some times he would ask a
question with seeming Indifference, but
lis glance would sweep my face with q
Cok that seemed to read my innermost
houghts. The fourth person mentioned
IboYe was not introduced to me. But l
hink she is Gail Hamilton.
Cur party are well and happy, and
! enoa is paradise. POWELL.
