Blaine'S Candidacy.

New YORK, May 5.-The World pub
fishes the following: "Jas. &. Blaine
will not be in accessible when the na-
tional convention is held on June 10Th.
From time to time it has been stated
that Blaine's plans would be 80 arranged
that when the national republican con-
vention was In session, he would be on
the Atlanta, hOmeward bound, and
wholly out of reach, so that he could
neither decline or accept the nomina-
tion If rendered him. He writes
however, it is definitely ascertained,
that the Maine statesman will at that
particular and critical juncture be with
in comparatively easy reach, 80 that he
can readily be reached. Some time ago
Mrs. Edward Carnegie OF this city, who
with her husband yearly spends some
time in the Highlands of Scotland sent
an invitation to Mrs. Blaine, asking that
she and her distinguished husband
might join them in their yearly
outing. On Wednesday last MIR. Carne-
gle received letter from Mrs. Blaine,
thanking her for her kind invitation and
saying that she and Mr.. Blaine would
accept. The trip will, in all probabili-
ty be by coach, Mr.. Carnegie's favorite
way of travelling along over the border,
hence the party will proceed through
the beautiful Scottish highlands. Those
who know Mr.. Blaine say that he is al
together too careful to make such a
trip if he were not feeling we'll. MIR.
Carnegie said to a World reporter last
evening: at is quite true that the
Blaines are tojoin us for our trip to SCOT
land, our plans as far as arranged, will
call for an outing OF some weeks, we ex-
poet to leave London with Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaine about the 9th of June"
