not take them into his confidence re-
garding his plans. Mr.. Blaine is well
acquainted with the newspaper jack

many years that he has about got
ten used to it by this time, neverthe-
less 1t must be u source of much pleas
ington, in the face of many positive
statements from these people that he
would not do So, has resulted in u
temporary cessation OF their labors
to convince the people, that thet
knew more about his intentions than
he did, In u few days these same
people will be telling detailed stories
about why Mr.. Blaine returned etc
Meanwhile. Mr.. Blaine will quietly
pick up the threads of his work and
resume his pleasant personal and
official relations with the President
and his colleagues in the cabinet.

in the State campaign now going on
and through personal friends in sew
eral States he manages to keep
thoroughly posted on them all. He

legislature III Ohio AMI he believes
that Iowa. New York, and Massa-
chusetts will go republican. unless
something unforeseen shall occur to
cause u change in the sentiments of
the voters in those States between
now and the day OF election. This
belief is based upon information
which he has received from unbiased
sources, and not merely upon his
hopes.
Secretary Foster did not get off
to Ohio until Tuesday night of this
week. He willmake ten speeches in the
campaign, the last one the day before
the election. Just before getting ON

normal republican majority OF the
State. 1t will be between 10000 and 80,
900, probably nearer the latter. OF the
107 members of the legislature we shall
elect at least so. and Of the 80, senat-
ors We will get about 20, the demo-
cratic stories vi IL rupture between
Foraker and Sherman are not help
ing that party, as the people of Ohio
know that no such fight exists out
side IF the columns OF democratic
newspapers.
