Special TO THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-Ex-Secretary OF
State James q. Blaine is confident of Re-
publican success this fall If he has not
made a public statement to that effect he
has communicated his views TO Senator
Hale OF Maine. To a correspondent of the
Philadel, hia Press Senator Hale to-day
said: "Mr. Blaine is regaining his health
and getting in good spirits again. If he is
we'll enough to make the effort Of speaking
he will make two or three speeche. In
Maine before the clubs OF that State begin
ming two weeks from Monday. IL not. he
will write ringing letter to the voters of
the State. which will serve as the keynote
to his friends all over the country as well.
Mr.. Blaine is just as full of enthusiasm for
Repuhlicanism as ever. although bowed
down with recent parental grief
He says the Democrats will be defeated
In the Presidential contest and President
Harrison will be reelected. This Is the
logical result of the political situation as he
views it aud the Republicans should win
the national fight. Maine and Vermont will
lead the skirmish line of the November cnn-
fict by their September State elections.
Maine will give 10000 to 1900 Republican
plurality for Henry B. Cleayes for Cover
nor, and Vermont will roll up all old-time
vote.
LAS to the Congressional delegation from
Maine we shall elect four Republicans.
Reeds majority will be 1900 to 1000, maybe
larger. He received nearly 5000 plurality
two years ago, but the Democrats were
apathetic then. They are well organized
State than ever before. Mr.. Blaine will
arouse Maine Republicans when he ad-
dresses them in stirring words and thoughts
with which he is so gifted, and we shall
have noble victory all along the line"
Quay Not SuIking.
Senator Quay SAYS he is not sulking. He
passed through Washington last night on
his way to Florida To engage in his favorite
paStime OF tarpon-fishing. He will be back
before the campaign is properly warmed up.
The story that certain Republican leaders
do not intend to work for the Republican
ticket lie said, us merely weak inten-
tiOn OF the enemy. II is hardly worth de-
NAL, ana | am often surprised that time.
paper and printing materials are wasted in
giving publicity TO such stories so palpably
unreal l have talked with Republican
leaders from all parts of the country and
who have been represented to be sulklng.
and know they are heartily supporting the
Presidential ticket Personal feelings do not
control IN such matters, else the rinciples of
our party would count for nothing. Repub-
licans are essentially loyal. and besides,
cOmmOn-sense would indicate tho propriety
of supporting tie ticket where duty and de-
votion TO principle did not. The situation
in New York has steadily improved for the
Republicans in six weeks. The Democratic
Presidential ticket is weaker than when
first nominated"
Senator Quay said the Republican man
ayers had made systematic canvass of
the condition Of the country aud the re-
ports we're gratifying The Republican
managers are not" lie said, rainbow
chasers They will ascertain the exact Sit
uatiOn in order to be prepared 10 meet il.
Prophecy Is not strong point with me. but
/ think the outlook is favorable and the
conditions in the Southern States fully war
rant the hope of getting some electoral votes
from that nuarter."
