nest Support to the Republican
Nominee - While Mfr. Blaine May
Leave the Cabinet, There Will Be
No Controversy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The cores
pondent Of the New York Mail and Elk
press telegraphs as follows:
Mr.. Blaine may or may not resume
his duties as secretary of the state in
the fall, after he has fully recovered his
health. There are reasons other than
political ones that will weigh in finally
determining the course to be pursued.
They need not be discussed here, but
The Mail and Express is in position to
state positively that whatever is done
will be with President Hsrrison's full
consent, and with the free and cordial
Endorsement of both the president and
his premier that it is best for the party
at large, irrespective of the personal
interests of either Of the two statesmen.
Both are in entire cordially today, as
they have been from the outset. They
situation and necessities, and they also
are in accord as to the attitude proper
for each to take, while the result of the
next national convention continues to
be matter Of controversy or doubt.
Harrison May Visit Blaine.
Possibly the president will accept Mr..
Blaine's invitation of long standing and
run over to Bar Harbor from Benning-
fNr, l,T 10. L.
Should not this be done the cool Septem-
ber weather will drive Mr.. Baine out of
Bar Harbor, ard in that event he is
likely to accept the invitation extended
long ago by the president, and visit him
at Cape May. At any rate, Mr.. Blaine
is pretty certain to be in Washington in
September, and when he and the presi-
dent meet the situation will be thor
oughly and probably definitely canvassed.
III MIR. Blaine has by that time made up
his mind that he would like to be the
presidential candidate, he will frankly
tell the president so, and tender his res
ignation as d member of the cabinet, to
be accepted or not as the president may
elect
In Thorough Accord.
Their relations are so close personally,
and they 80 well understand each other
politically, that it is not at all certain
that President Harrison will consider
that Mr.. Blaine should leave the state
department because he felt that ho
might be called upon to lead in the
coming presidential contest.
That each have the corporation of the
other, and that their relations are bound
to continue friendly, is apparent from
the fact that the Indifference, if not op-
position, of one administration lost the
election for Mr.. Blasne in 1884, and it is
not likely, therefore, should he really
desire nomination again, that he would
do himself or counten1nce in others any
thing that wovld embarrasS President
Harrison.
A There Will BE No Contest. Tg7
In brief, these two leaders of the party
are not going to be brought into antago-
nism, either by injudicious friends or
designing enemies. They are for Re-
publican success next year. Either can
be elected, and whichever is the candi-
date will have the cordial support of
the other. That much is settled.
There will be no breach. The proba-
bility is that they will have frank in
terchange Of views at an early date, that
Mr.. Blaine will offer to retire or con-
tinue in the cabinet, that President
Harrison will decline to accept his res
ignation, and that both will go until to
the end, giving the whole people the
benefit of their best efforts and their
wisest counsels, and meeting the presi-
dential question IN broad and patriotic
way, and, above all, in a way that will
mean continued harmony throughout
the entire party. Both owe this to the
party and To the nation, and both are
too great to overlook it.
