He Is Still the Idol Of His Party and as

BosToN, Aug. 24.-"What is Blaine's pres.

aid, of this city, has endeavored to answer
this question fairly and impartially, and as
a result of the Investigations of its cores
pondents in every nook and corner OF
Maine has arrived at the conclusion that he
is still idolized by the great mass of his
party, and is in fact stronger than ever in
his own home.
In Calais, the republican stronghold of
eastern Maine, the representative of the
Herald found the four big party LEADERS,
Collector of Customs Curran, Mr.. L. &.
Downes, F. G. Goodnow and Mayor G. H.
McC cCullough-unwilling to speak for pub
lication, but ssthey accept Mr.. Blaine's
reciprocity programme and trust his opin-
ions relative thereto as far as enunciated."
In the same city twenty three business re-
publicans were interviewed and "every one
of them stood by Blaine" Between Lewis

son of Maine." Ex-Gov. Marble, of Waldo
boro, is not counted among Blaine's en-
thusiastic admirers, but he lis not opposed
to his scheme for bringing us into closer
relations with the South American coun-
tries" MIR. F. O. Clark, lone of the most
influential republicans in that section, in
dorsed the reciprocity plan most emphatic
ally" II believe" said he, 'that at heart
Blaine is right and that he will come out all
right in the end"
In Rockland, Railroad Commissioner
Mortland believed that reciprocity is the
right thing in the right place." and that
there can be no questiea that Blaine is a
firm protectionist. In Demariscotta,
talk with several republicans about the
ment." Mr.. Austin Hale, prominent
merchant of New Castle, was certain that
''Blaine is great manager, knows perfect
market alone is not sufficient" In Wis
casset, .'there seemed to be no doubt in the
minds Of all whose opinions were sought
that Mr.. Blaine had shown true statesman
ship and that there need be no difficulty in
adopting his recommendation"
The same condition of public opinion wa:
found to exist in Lewiston, Brunswick
Thomaston and Bath, while in Augusta "tht
reciprocity policy has struck the masses o1
the party with the utmost favor" Bangor
is pronounced to be ''loyal'' to the "PlumeG
Knight" while in Belfast call would like tx
