EDINBURGH, June at-Mr. Blaine and party win
20 tomorrow TO Linlithgow, about sixteen miles
to the northwest Of this place. The day here has
been spent very quietly. No DISPATCHES were re-
ceived from Chicago. Mr.. Blaine went out to
ride soon after breakfast and drove around the
castle out to Hoiyrood Castle and about Arthur's
Stair. Later he took q long walk and then re-
mained indoors until about 4 O'Clock, when he
went out to ride with Miss Dodge.
During the afternoon l was received by Mr..
Blaine, and he talked about his coaching trip, but
upon the subject of politics he would not say one
word for publication. He II enjoying his outdoor
life, and looks a. brown a. q sea captain. This
method Of travelling is enjoyed most thoroughly BY
HIM. A servant goes ahead and arranges for
rooms in the hotels; another looks after
the baggage, which travels BY train. Each
day there 10 Q leisurely morning, a.
the start 10 hardly ever made until II O'Clock.
Lunch 10 carried along and In daily served upon the
grass in some picturesque field. Here gather
laborers ana farmers, who always show the most
eager attention and hospitality. 1t 10 q daily
picnic undcr the most favorable circumstances.
Then the start Ia made for the second half OF the
journey. 90 a. TO reach the terminus OF the days
trip about 2. After dinner the party retires early,
on account Of sleepiness, caused by the day In the
open air.
Even here Nj. Blaine did not st mp for any re-
ports from Chicago. He did not learn until his late
breakfast this morning that the convention had
adjourned over to Monday. He leaves here To-
morrow without making any arrangement for re-
ception of news beyond what Is In reach Of every
one. He II perfectly calm and shows mono OF the
Nt0aa - -.
shown during the early part Of the trip yesterday.
The London papers contain reports saying that
Mr.. Blaine 10 busy intriguing and directing Affairs At
Chicago. These stories are lies, pure and simple.
/ know from personal evidence that all during
Saturday he did not receive one despatch from
Chicago or from the United States. Il can be fur
ther said that he has not received one political de-
spatch from the United States upon this entire trip.
He 10, Of course, interested in the result, but does
not change in any way one detail of
his Journey. He has not sat MP any
later for news here than upon the day when he nrst
started. His family chow much more interest. His
two daughters, Margaret and Hattie, study with in
tense interest every meagre scrap or bulletin OF
Information. Miss Dodge II also intensely In
terested. Mrs. Blaine alone shows q calmness and
lack Of anxiety equal to that of MT. Blaine.
/ saw Mrs. Blaine this morning Just after her

picture OF radiant health in her dark-blue walking
suit. She said that they were all too far away TO
have any opinions az to the result. She believed
that Mr.. blaines retirement would be accepted in
good faith. All OF the stories published concern.
ing her change OF opinion about the desirability OF
her husbands becoming q candidate were mere
idle stories, without one word Of foundation. She
had said nothing to any one that would warrant
any one Of these stories
he were confronted with q practically unanimous
nomination. To this she replied that she had nc
idea at Ia Q question" she said, ''he will de-
eide only when II confronts him. He viii decide II
himself whatever we all may think. No one who
has Q right to know could say what ne win do in
situation which I DO not think win arise"
1 ma this impression IL now prevalen
among those VIII are about Mr.. Blaine
They will be very much surprised II
nomination should come to him. VIVA
he win do under such circumstances, dc
cided by ordinary human rules, would DO very cas-,
to say, but 1t is very clear still that 1t Ia expected
his formal retirement win be accepted in goot
faith. think 1t can be truly said. although 4
would be too much TO expect any politician to be
lieve that Mr.. Blaine would DO relieved by tn,
nomination OF any one else, and much embar
rased II he were TO DO nominated.
From scraps Of received here IL look
at this far-off standpoint as II Harrison were tn
coming man. ticket Of Harrison and Phelps 4
considered % one Of the possibilities Of tomorrow
