BLAINE AND THE SENATE.
Talk IN Maine of Electing Him to the
Scat Occupied by Mr.. Hale.

AUGUSTA, ME-Thc question as to
whether Mr.. Blaine's political career is
ended has begun to attract the serious at
tention of his most devoted friends in
this State. and it has been discussed by
many of his townsmen who do not want
10 see him retired from public life. Next
winter the Maine Legislature will tlcct Il
United States Senator in place of Eugene
Hale, who will have held that office for
twelve years. Mr.. Blaine's name is be-
ing mentioned for the place, and it is
said that movement will be started in
his int rest Mr.. Hale is a candidate for
re election, and his plaus have long been
laid to get it. In Maine they have Gus
tom of returning men to both branches of
the Leg eislature for a second term. Two
years ago Mr.. Hale started his Senatorial
fight for securing the elect on of men
committed to his re election. These men
will be returned this winter with others,
who will he pledged to the Ellsworth
statesman's support. If Mr. Blaine should
consent to be a candidate, Mr.. Hale would
have an advantage over him at the out
set.
Mr.. Blaine is ignorant of the talk. He
would undoubtedly have the influence
and support of Tom Reed and Captain
Boutelle. Dingley would naturally grav
itate to Blaine, but he would do nothing
to imperil his chances for Frye's place in
1895. A fight between Blaine and
Hale would shake up the Republican
party in Maine. 1t is not unlikely that
Gov. Burleigh would jump into the arena
as a candidate. Mr.. Blaine's friends are
in earnest in this matter. At the coming
Portland Convention, when the Rcpubli.
cans nominate their candidate for Gov
ernor, it is said that u resolution will be
presented recommending Mr. Blaine foi
Mr.. Halc's place.
