Another Remarkable Fruit of the
Imagination.

CHICAGO, June 14.-Robert T. Lincoln,
secretary of war in the cabinet of Garfield
and Arthur, was expected to reach England
yesterday. He win Immediately proceed to
Scotland where he will have an interview
with James G. Blaine. It is said that Mr..
Lincoln has a mission which he will execute
in the interest of his friend, Judge Gresham.
His first point will be to secure from Mr..
Blaine most emphatic declaration that he
is not Presidential possibility. His second
point and the real object Of his visit, is to
secure from Mr.. Blaine an expression of
preference for Gresham. In regard to this
prominent Republican said in Chicago last
night:
/ can predict the outcome of that visit
Blaine will receive Lincoln cordially. He
will give positive assurances that he is
not and will not be a candidate, but when
asked to declare in favor of Gresham, the
subsequent interview will not be one which
Mr.. Lincoln will feel like cabling to Chicago.
Mr. Blaine will not declare himself in favor
of any candidate. Why should he, and thus
antagonize all the others? The scheme of
sending Lincoln to Great Britain to wiring
from our great leader an Endorsement Of
Gresham Is brilliant one, but it was born
of that reckless advocacy Of the Judge which
has wrecked his chances before ballot had
been cast
