NH BLAINE's RETURN.
He Says He VIII Resume His Dnties ss &
State in Cal sH>>e

he Says He VIII Resume His Duties st the
State Department In September.
Mr.. Blaine, who was interviewed by . New
York World correspondent at Bar Harbor
| Friday. was asked how late he would remain
there, and is quoted as saying in reply:
The season lasts here into September. If
the weather continues favorable I shall, no
/ doubt, stay until the first week in that month.
You can say for me that expect to return to
| Washington at the end of my vacation and
resume my duties at the State Department.
That ! shall be able to do 30 entertain no
| doubts.''
The New York Herald Of yesterday publishes
the following from its Bar Harbor correspon-
dent: Altogether better stronger and more
like his old self than he has been for weeks II
Premier Blaine. and the funny part OF 1t Is that
| the very newspapers which have been dong
their best to kill him have, az q matter OF fact,
been more instrumental than medicine or
| doctors in effscting his cure. Rather morti-
flying that to the editors of the aforesaid
papers, but nevertheless fact. 1t IL now
known and openly admitted that there has
been an organized conspiracy among dozen
or 90 of the prominent anti Blaine papers
throughout the country to worry Blaine,
already broken down man, either into his
grave or into a madhOuse.
The issues at stake were tremendous and 1t
be eliminated from the situation. So the COM
bination zealously set to work to eliminate the
political giant and correspondents. who might
be christened literary grave diggers, were dis
patched to Bar Harbor with formal instructions
to keep Blaine at the point Of death until the
LIST Of September"
am in position to state authoritasively that
these were the exact orders given to New
York correspondence who certainly obeyed them
to the letter. Whenever there was good news
about Blaine, that is, news that he was sinking
rapidly. that paralysis had set in, that ten new
specialists had been photographed for, or that ne
gotiations had been opened with the under
taker, then the combination would cheerfully
pay for kilograms of 200, 500 or 2 900 words
q day, but In the event of bad news, such
temporary rally, u pleasant drive along the
beach or an opinion that Blaine might live
after all, then q few hundred words or even less
was great abundance. What interesting read
ing, to be sure. would DO the copies kept by the
telegraph companies Of INSTRUCT sent day
after day from anti Blaine editors to their
faithful correspondents in Bar Harbor. How
ever, the cat is out of the bag now, the
game is up" and the graveyard journalist is no
longer needed here.
The consequence is that natural revulsion Of
public feeling has caused Blaine's sanitary PEN
dulum to swing over very far to the other side
probably too far. The real truth is that while
the Secretary of State is not the sick man he
has been reported he is very far from being
well man.

SENATOR QUAY TO RETIRE.

Though it is not yet definitely settled the

There seems to be little doubt that Hon. J. 8.

manship. In an interview with reporter in
Pittsburg Mr.. Quay said:
1.-The time is approaching when the labors for
the campaign OF 1892 should be commenced.

We we're in Auburn, and walking into an ofies
We talked with the occupant about the noHinA-
ton. He informed as that he was democrat,
but had no doubt Of the election of Mr.. Hamlin.
We expressed doubt from the fact that the
state had been very evenly divided between
the wing and democratic parties, and many
wings. since the breaking up Of the party. had
joined the democrzts or stood aloof from both
the republican and democratic parties. with q
candidate Of their own. His answer was:
Hannibal Hamiin never leaves . letter I'M
answered over night No matter how insig.
nificant the man who wrote the letter or the
matter Of which he wrote. he was sure Of q
prompt answer from Mr.. HAmlin. and that will
give him thousands Of votes." And the election
proved the truth Of the mans prediction, Mr..
Hamiin having more than 70, 900 majority over
the democratic candidate
