Tcndon. July sl.-Mr Blaine. who had intended
a Lave London on Sunday, and visit Oxford Strait
ford and other places before arriving at Liverpool
found himself unable TO get away. He remained
,I today and left by the noon train for Liverpool
with Mrs Blaine, his two daughters and Miss
Dodge. last evening he dined with Mrs Mar
shall O. Roberts in Grosvenor Square. The guests
were mostly American including Mrs. hran Ste
yeps Mrs MactSay. Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin,
and Mr. and Miss Endcott Mr.. Blaine's Mug
wump friends who expect to see him arrive wreck
will have 20 endure surprise. Il never was
better, nor in better spirits he said last night
lie makes no secret of his satisfaction with Mr..
IIarrson's nomination, and proclaims his belief in
the certainty Of his election. He will not even
admit that the contest Is likely TO be close
have he said, but one answer to such questions
NJ Harrison will win" need MT tell you That
Mr.. Blaine goes home to throw himself heart and
soul into the campaign. lie is perfectly satisfied
with the issue as now framed between the Repub-
Hcans and Democrats and their renegade Republican
allies The free-trade label is on the Democrats
English for supplying the gum which makes it
stick.
Mr.. Blaine has been long enough here TO find
cut what English Free Traders really think
He has met some of their leading men. They are
outspohen in public and private alike. They
neur out euogies on Mr.. Cleveland, whom they
Iooj; TO As their standard bearer. He carries
the British Union Jack mblazoned al over with
British Free Trade for America. Mr.. Blaine was
NOT a little interested t. hear of The Tribune
Eytra-" Enshnds Only Choice and of its re-
marlablc sale on the day Of publication You
are quite right said he; it is one more con-
fict between England and America, but the Eng
hsh candidate can't he elected this time. The
English have shown their hand too plainly
might quote many more things Mr.. Blaine said
hut he is going home to say them for himself he
Is inpatient to get home and join in the fight.
He is as full of energy as he is Of confidence.
Don't misunderstood me- he added. Il say
we are going TO win, and so we are, but we shall
via because we are going to make this fight on
q square American issue; because we shall make
American people understand II is their Interests
we are fighting for, and British interests which
the Democrats arc fighting for. We are going
10 appeal both TO their intelligence and their
patriotisn. The more audiences we can reach,
the larger will be our majority. Ii is not to be
won ny lying down anf waiting, but by hard
standing fighting and I am going 10 do my
share" Great are his enthusiasm and his delight
in the prospect of meeting his opponents; most
of all, l fancy, those Mugwumps who have sup
posed they could crush him by campaign OF
calumny in his absence. G. w s.
