BLAINE WILL TAKE THE STUMP.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Mail and
Express Bar Harbor special says: Of
the talk of Blaine's taking the stump
comparatively little is heard here, for at
this season Bar Harbor deals but little in
politics. Blaine is living in the utmost
seclusion at Stanwood, and seeing few
but the most intimate of his friends. 1t
is said one of the members of Harrison's
Cabinet called upon Blaine last week.
Blaine, it is positively asserted, will take
the stump during the campaign and do
all be can for the success of the party. 1t
is also asserted that Vice-President Nor
ton will take an active part in the cam
paign.
