the coming reception to Mr.. Blaine are
growing. 1t is impossible to give an accu-

large delegations.
Mr.. BIaine's Plans.
New YORK, July 24-The World prints
the following from London: 'Mr. Blaine
will remain here all the week. He expects
to leave Liverpool, next Monday. SO as to
have full day there before sailing on next
Wednesday. He says he has not made any
special plans for speaking in the campaign.
He will go to Maine directly after his New
York reception. He has made arrangements
In New York and Connecticut, but has not
yet accepted any Western invitation. He
denies the story that he was contemplating
any thing so absurd as writing book about
his coaching trip. He remarked yesterday,
that he had derived so much benefit from
his outdoor life in England and Scotland
during the last two months that he intended
to keep up this outdoor life after returning
home. He believes Harrison will be elected
and upon the issue directly made for him BY
the President"
