STATE THE FACTS.
. i U 11LA1NI,
Under date of July loth, the St Louii
Jtefutlic publishes the following from ltt
Bar Harbor correspondent
James G Blaine, according to the most
reliable reports available, Is nrarlng the
end of his eventful and exciting life. Hit
family and friends are doing their best to
keep his condition from the public, and
the doctors attending hlti are pledged to
secrecy. In spite of the most strenuous ef.
forts, however, the state of the secretary's
mental and physical health Is gradually
becoming known. He is the victim of
Bright's disease of the kidneys, together
with a complication of nervous disorders,
Added to his physical pains and penal.
ties his mind is in a state of collapse. His
memory, which was the wonder of his
friends. Is shattered, and he has lost inter
est In his surroundings, and in his lucid
moments has no hope of recovery. Those
who knew Mr Blaine a couple of years
ago.or even a year ago, would scarcely re
cognise hlin now if they saw him leaning
back In the carriage, supported by hi
wife or daughter. There is a death paior
on his face, and there are deep black cir
cles under his eyes. He Is very thin and
haggard, the bones seem ready to protrude
through the skin, the lips are as blue as
indigo, the eyes are glassy and dull. He
seems to be always shivering as If chilled.
Republican enthusiasm In Ohio

attention of politicians at the leading cen

is doubtful if he could sit on a chair with
out assistance.
There are six doctors In regular attend
ance on Mr Blaine. Four of them are
residents of Bar Harbor, one Is from An
gusta and another from Boston. The latter,
a prominent practioncr, has been an in.
mate of the Blaine house for the past ten
days. The doctors refuse to say anything
concerning Mr Blaine's condition
From other sources, but entirely relia
ble, your correspondent learns that th;
doctors have agreed that Mr Blaine's life
cannot be prolonged much longer. He
, may live for a few months, and may pass
away in a few weeks. That he can ever
resume public life no one in Bar Harbor
for a moment thinks. Mr Blaine is a very
popular man here. Every resident of this
beautiful resort !s his friend. It was
Blaine's wont when driving out to bow
right and left to his acquaintances. He
knew every resident of the place and tliey
all knew him. Now, whenever driving
out, only a senseless stare greets the sa
lutes of his fellow-townsmen. It is not
his fault. Only at brief intervals is he able
to recognize any one, eyen members of his
own family. He talks incessantly and his
mind wanders.
Sometimes he is fighting the presiden
tial campaign of 1SS4 over again; some-
times he is making a speech accepting the
presidential nomination of his party ; again,
he is discussing the New Orleans lynching
with Baron Cava, or with Mr Harrison,
and anon he will extol his reciprocity
schemes and denounce the McKinley bill,
Sometimes he grows furious and de
nounces the democracy with something
akin to his old vigor, and then of a sudden
he will collapse and remain at almott a
state of coma for six or seven hours at a
time. Sometimes he remains in posses.
sion of his faculties, for a day at a time.
Then tie converses pleasantly with his wife.
children and the doctors, when of a sudden
he will say something about his dead son
Walker, or his dead daughter, Mrs Cop
inger, and break into tears.
His faculties desert him when he talks
of his dead children, and when his mind
wanders he Is pitiable. His family trace the
beginning of his more serious illness to the
death of his son Walker, who was his best
beloved child, and on whom he had most
leaned for support since his defeat in 18S4,
Mr Blaine's friends, however, claim that
he never got over the presidential contest
of 1SS4, The excitement and worry of the
contest shattered his health, and even at
the time, they claim, threatened his mind.
The personalities of the campaign were
what affected him most. He discussed
this subject with a very dear friend of his
ew months ago,and said he blamed him
self for much of the biutal personality of
that campaign. He said that when the
first story affecting Mr Cleveland's private
character reached him, If he had spurned
It Instead of referring the author lo the
Republican National Committee, the
chances are that the democrats would not
have attacked his personal character, and
the campaign would have been fought on
the public Issues. He blamed himself for
the personalities of the campaign, and said
that he would always regret his part In It
In his lucid moments, it Is said, of all
his friends, Joe Manly, the Augusta Post,
master, Is the only one he Inquires about
vi Kcina iu ihkc any lmcrcai in. iig
takes no Interest at all in public affairs ex
cept when his mind wanders.
He Is not aware during his lucid periods
that his mind Is affected. For Instance,
he thinks that he has not been more than
a week or ten days at Bar Harbor. When
he recovers consciousness he yawns drear
ily, and complains of having ugly dreams,
and ask how long he has been asleep. He
has not partaken of any solid food for
more than a month. He is dieted on milk
and v.liisky and has 10 appetite whatever.
It U t-e opinion of his doctors that he
may survive for two months nior, bu t
they would not be surprised If he passed
away at any lime.
That the brillia.it career of the best-loved
republican In the United Slates Is drawing
to a close there Is no longer a doubt.
