 ME1aosr, scotland, June 22, 1sss.-Mr Car negie, this evening, whom asked whether !! had been correctly reported in tie SUN, whicL was recabled to Eondon, reporting him ;s having said that if MT. Blaine w:s.s nominate he would accept. replic4:-
 "I give you my authority to say that enl. phatical!y deny having ma'loe any such stnte-
 mont. can scarcely believe that tic SU.S orrcspondent could have sent any such mes sage, US I never conveyed such a meaning. On threrntrary, I nhsy tell you that since oar trfpd!s.s;in, MT. Blak3m and myself have Il talked II word of nsi!ics. We of tho par :,
 have observed a courteous silence on sucn |. snI.irct. MT. BIaiHc has not tempted us to break it. Y5I
 . Whit have said all along is that under cs...i lin circumstances thought Mir. Blaine
 o, :at-not would d-accept.
 MT. Carnegie, whts do you think is likely to ta the man? l. it Sherman? Well, I rsally cannot say. He has gained twenty votes, you sec. on the second ballot, but it looks to me very like some dark horse, We are in hopes that everything will be ;"tticd tO-merrow.
 The coaching party will start at half-past nine o'clock tomorrow. MT. Blaine was presented at Jcdburgh with real Scotch plai.. by two admiring citizens, and he looks highly PrsFsidential, ,as. wrapped in it andpook- ing over its folds, he Hetains his sphynxlike
 silence on tie politicN situation. He was acft we'll informed by scablegrams at every pl;tee the coach stopped at.
 To-day hs said: "E have not seen any member of the lrest to talk to, and I am not in position to speak at present" Being asked whether, ,ins case he was nomi- nated to-morrow, he wovld accept, he peremp- torily refused to answer, but his demeanoI gestcd that hc..would aceept if the Convention became unanimous Mr. Carnegie has been generally silent on theasubject. MT. Blaine is also silent to personal friends. For in- stance, MT. Joseph Cowen, late member oi Parliament for Newcastle-on-Tyne, his great friend. asked him for his views about poli- tics for publication in his paper. the CHRoNI- GLE, when passing through Newcastle, but lished purporting to represent interviews with me are purely flctional." Thus on his own words he must not be credited with expressions purporting to come from him.
 Another member of the coaching party said to-day:-"Mr. Blaine does not talk word about politics to any of us except, possibly Mir. Carnegie. Although very loquacious on l other subjects by common consent politics is | tabooed among us."
 The drives of the past few days have been
 short, each day averaging only fourteen miles
 but tomorrow will come q very heavy days work, thirty-six miles to Edinburgh-th longest days travel so far. Then the horses will have to show wfht thoy are made of
 After the Edinburgh roads have been travelled
 the route is very hilly, all the way up te Cluny Castle.
 If in Edinburgh and Mfr. Blaine should re,
 ceive and accept the nomination, it would a send-off to 8 campaign could there not be evolved when the well coached candidate 1 shoald onfa, Man, York ha rhor --
