R'oston, June 5.—“Blaine has tired the first gun in the presidential campaign ol 1888. And he him hit the bull's eye, toe." This was the remark mndfi by a Stalwart republican, wlio went down to Portland t.o bear Hie “Plumed Knight's” home rule speech Inst Tuesday night. In local political circles the speech has created a genuine sensation. That a prospective candidate nay. a prospective president—should assail so boldly the alii t.ude of Lord Salisbury, recently a responsi ble minister of tin' crown, was taken by Irish nationalists as an earnest of that “vigor ms policy" which was only hinted at darkly in 1-SSI. That ,V[r. Blaine promised during that memorable contest to give the. lion’s tail some vigorous twishting tliere can be no doubt. The promises were made to men who take part in the Irish movement in America. Their faithful followers were duly informed of the purpose of the candi date and they voted almost to a man for him. Mr. John Boyle O'lteilly, the editor of the Pilot, was approached by a committee j who were autnoraed to make definite i pledges in return for the support of that journal. Of this there can he no question. But Mr. O’Keilly declined to negotiate, while his brethren in New York and the west fell into the scheme. A cabinet office was to bo given to a representative of the Irish race, and the public, in case of Blaine’s success, would perhaps have been asked to approve the selection of Mr. Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago, or Mr. .Joiln Boyle O’Keilly, of Boston. AN OPEN FIGHT. Mr. Blaine proposes to act more openly In his next, fight. He recognizes the fact that a considerable portion of Hie Irish vote has been alienated by Mr. Cleveland In the large centres of population where tliey have absolute control of t he denio- otatie machine. Just while the spirit of dissatisfaction is felt most keenly he makes his Irsh speech. It, was well timed, and the effect has been almost instantaneous. The Blaine leaders in Boston looked happy yesterday and to-day. Jesse Gove, who was the solitary supporter of the Maine 1 statesman in the Massachusetts delegation i in 188-1, grinned from ear to ear. Jesse, al- - though he is a bitter partisan, stands well with the local leaders of the democratic ' party. He voted last year in the legisla- I ture against the metropolitan police bill and other party schemes, and in municipal polities he lias been with “the boys.” lie I Is a thorough politician and believes in spoils as a proper reward for party service. i lie is a very “offensive partisan,” and be is proud of the fact. l)r. Buretinnl would not be safe if lie vis ited Hast Boston some dark night and , should stumble up against Jesse. This 1111- , fortunate divine, Mr. Gove feels sure, de feated Ills candidate and cheated him out j of a fat federal office. “Just think of it,” said lie soon after the result was declared, “we had the Irish vote split in halves; we had the Catholic clergy almost to a man, and Wen getting the I Protestant preachers into solid phalanx when this reverend donkey kicked the scheme to pieces.” SYMPATHIES OF THE CI.BRCIY. Several causes combine to make Mr. Blaine popular with Hie Irish Catholic I population in the L'nited States. In the first place he is very friendly with the rep resentatives of the church in Maine. The I clergy in Augusta are very much attached j to him because of his liberality, both in point of religious belief and in his dona-I tions to charitable societies. In the next I place his mother was a Homan Catholic of Irish origin. It is told of him in Augusta , that he preserves with filial fidelity and reverence the scapulars and other symbolic ] articles of a religious nature which be- I longed to her. In 1881 Mgr. Cupel was on a mission, the I I'Ctil object of which only a very few peo ple understood. He was an observing man and he Saw that there was a strong feeling t of hostility to Mr. Cleveland among well I informed Catholics. The late John Kelly and his lieutenants in Tammany had ue- j eased t he democratic candidate of harbor- j ing deeply rooted prejudices against Cathol icism. Mgr. Cupel was a social favorite in i the highest Catholic circles in New York j city, into which lie was introduced by Mrs. i George Bliss. 1 have it on the authority of | Mr. Wayne MacVeagh that it was in this atmosphere that he became convinced of j the advisability of Mr. Blaine’s election j purely ua u religious move. The same i gentleman estimated that two-thirds ofthe Roman Catholic priests who voted in New York and Pennsylvania voted the republi can ticket. ; In Massachusetts the proportion was not | quite ns large as this; hut it was large j enough to attract attention. The damag ing portions of Mr. Burchard’sspeech were printed in the form of handbills by tire state committee and distributed near the churches on the Sunday morning preced ing the election, and in two notable in stances the pastors drove the boys away from the corners. It may be said that the hostility to Mr. Cleveland still exists here in Catholic cir cles, and if the same candidates should be before the people in 1888 that were pitted against each other in t.SS-l, the votes of the extreme church men would go to Blaine. Tlie Irish nationalists, and the more moderate sympathizers even, are dis gusted with the way in which their representatives are snubbed by the present administration. They are wrathy because a vigorous policy was not adopted promptly in the fishery con troversy, and so they still look Blaineward for the ideal American statesman who would seize every opportunity that offered to pick a quarrel with Great Britnin. THE FISHERY ql'ESTIO.V. The interview with Mr. Blaine on tile seizures of American fishing vessels, and I the Portland speech cover these two points j exactly, and cover them so well Unit the Blaine euuso in Massachusetts lias received quite a peroentible “boost." The coining , campaigns in Maine and Massachusetts | will l>e conducted largely with a view to consolidate the republican vote in favor of the author of these two noteworthy pro- \ nouneements. His candidate in the former state. Mr. Bodwell, of Hollowed, will have a walk i over in the convention and at the polls. Golonel Darius Alden, of Augusta, one of the patriarchs of the Pine Tree democra cy, told me the other night that over four hundred young democrats in the Kennebec valley towns would vote for him, solely as a rebuke to the administration for its re- ! fusal to appoint Colonel Morton to the Augusta postoffiee. "My own son,” he said, “Is in the movement, pi this state, Ames, who is a Blaine man also, will he practically unopposed in the light for tin- nomination. lie will he elected by 2. r >.(XXl majority, and tile machinery of the party will be used to promote Blaine’s ambition tiie following year, 'fill’s prediction was made in one ofi the leading clubs ofi the city.” THE MUGWUMPS. "What will the mugwumps do ?” was asked: “The mugwumps are tired and sick of their position out in the cold, and they wil lie glad to return. They are disorgan- lzed, demoralized. George A. Williams, '2o f themnost active and intelligent workers, is now engaged in distributing he patronage.

'em I It-.IMCI Coe lie In momilli- < n Ihr a Unit l.o-o i-.i"ii:,i in tin- I,mill lii'lliwth litxi'il 811 in X- l’i-r fii-tn- In Sii|i|i»rl Kx.Feiicritl s ■Her-. Washington, June7. When onecoiV - fuoo to face with the fact tii.it the pulisi\i payments cost every family in tlie country $6 a year il is not to be wondered Unit the southern congressmen demand a halt. The pension business has been running wild for sevaral years, and its pace is growing wilder with every passing day. Six dollars is not a ver.y large sum in itself, but there are thousands of pour fami lies in (lie country to whom it is a small fortune. As the money is raised by indirect taxation every family in the country is bound to contribute its share in one way or another. Bills for pen sioning different classes ofsoldiers not now on the rolls are passed with little discus sion, and during tlie Inst congress the country came within an ace of the exten sion of tlie arrears act, which would have involved an additional expenditure of *250,- 000,000. Supposing the population of the l'nited States Lo be 60,000,000, this would have been nu additional tax of $5 upon every man, woman and child in the coun try. No country in the world compares with the United States in her lib erality to her wounded soldiers. For vers past tie pensions have averaged be tween ,*50,000,000 and $66,000,(XX) a year, and in 1885 the total amount paid out from the beginning of the government was more thnn $724,(XX),(XX). At tiie same rate it must lie more than |8(X),(XX),000 at tlie present time. This makes the pension ex penditure of tlie government more than one-twelfth of all the expenses, not in cluding interest, since its organization. There has been paid out in pensions about one-sixth as much as has been paid for wars, and tlie outlay seems to be increas ing eacli year. In 1700 tlio pension tax was, on a rough estimate, less than 25 cents a family, and In 188,'i, when a larger amount was paid for pensions than in any one year up to 1803, the average was less than $1.50 a family. The great bulk of the. pension expenditure has been to tlie soldiers of the late war. In the first ten years of our government there wore only four in which the pension expenses ran over $100,000 a year, and for the next fifteen years or until the pensions of the war of 1812 began to come in—they were less than this yearly. They never amounted to more than $6,000,000 a year until 1885, when they jumped to $18,000,000. Since then they have been so increasing that tliey now make about one-third ofthe yearly expenses, and it costs each family m the United States from $5 to $8 a year to pay tlie lulls. The civil pension list lias increased considerably within the last three years, and the widow's of tlie presidents now receive $5<XX) a year each. Mrs. Polk is yet alive, and is living at Nashville. John Tyler's second wife has $0000 sent yearly to her home in Richmond, and Mrs. Garfield has the same amount sent to her at Cleveland. Zacli Taylor’s daughter gets $50 a month on account of her father’s ser vices in the Mexican war; and the widow of Admiral Farragut receives $2000 a year by a special act of congress. There are also about eighty revolutionary widows still on the pension rolls, and the majority of j these come from tiie southern states. There were about 2,000,(XX) soldiers in the late war. Of these 200,OCX) left no personal 1 relatives, and about 1,000,000 have not asked for pensions. From 1861 to 188-1 820,000. 1 claims were filed for pensions, and at that I time -187,000 of these had been allowed. These pensions ranged from $1 to $72 a | month, and tiie average pension received ■ by the soldiers at present is about $107 a year. There are now between 300,000 and 100,OtX) pensioners, and the majority of these are soldiers themselves, while the remainder is made up of widows, minor children and dependent parents. ••'I lie BiiiiiI Still I’lays."
