Winslow is the pastor of the First NJ E.
church at Bar Harbor, and is en- route
home from the convention of the NJ. E.
church at Omaha. tie is an intimate
friend OF Hon. James G. Blaine. has
known the Maine statesman from child
hood, they were school boys together and
the acquaintance which sprung up in
youth has blossomed into warm friend
ship as the years have advanced. After
the commencement of Blaines public
career and he removed from Augusta to
Washington, he was accustomed to
spending a considerable portion CT his
time each year at Bar Karbor, and prob
ably no one enjoyed his confidence more
than DR.. Winslow. As natural conse-
auence considerable significance may be
attached to the doctors views of Blaine's
position relative to the republican presi-
dental nomination. An ARGUS reporter
sought these views and they were readily
given:
"Mr. Blaine is not cam
d;date if his wishes are to be con-
suited" said the doctor. Indeed l may
say he is not willing to be candidate
and he does not desire the nomination.
He has been pressed forward by his
friends, wholly without his consent.
l don't believe he ever expects to be q
candidate for the presidency again and
l am firmly convinced he has no furs
ther aspirations in that direction"
DO you think he would accept the
nomination if rendered himf"
That would depend entirely upon
circumstances. am sure he would
not were there any pronounced opposi-
ton to his candidacy before the cons
yention. If it came with practical
una nimity it might be different, as then
he might look upon it in the light of
a duty"
Would he make vigorous campaign
should he be nominated and accept?"
Il am satisfied he would not. His
friends would have to do the campaign
ing, and l may add too, that the opinion
l have expressed to you is sustained by
T. H. Sherman for IA years Mr.. Blaine s
private secretary and now United States
consul to st. Petersburg, who is my
brothr-in-law and with whom I have
frequently conversed on this subject"
