Blaine’s Political Future.

A well-known Maine man who is visiting in Washington, said to-day: “The manner in which Mr. Blaine is acquiescing in the result of last November’s struggles brings him closer to the heart of the people of his State, and there is no place within their gift he could not have by indicating that he would take it. He can return to the Senate or to the lower house within two years if he chooses. And as he intends to remain in the public view it is more than likely that he wilj, accept a seat in Congress after his literary task has been Either Senator Hale or Congressman Milliken would retire to give place to Mr. Blaine if he should desire to., return to the active duties of the House or Senate. Small as the return, Hale could,become Governor. Frye would not yield unless compelled to, and it would keep Blaine busy to beat him if he tried. There is a general feeling , here that the matter can be arranged to accommodate all the statesmen. There is also a belief that while Mr. Blaine may go back into public life for a few years, he will not permit himself tp be again pushed for the Presidency.—Washington dispatch to Bosttih Advertiser.
