CmcAoo, November 10.
The whole OF CHICAGO is on the
broad grin to-day atthe sudden
land unsnticipated somersault of
the Chicago Times. The Times
looks fate in the face and declares
that the Democratic party never
encountered events so ser'oualy a.
fecting its future IA now, and pro
po.cs two remedies, first, to cut
| |, osc from President johnson, and
next, TO advocate negro suffrage.
The following is the complaint
and the remedy Of the Times; "lnI
the first place. we must cut loose
from the adninistrationof Andrew
johnson, and leave that hybrid
concern to float on the sea Of pub
Ilic contempt into which II oome
: time since entered, and from
which no power can rescue II. Is
not the late defeat attributable
more largely to THE Administra-
ton than to all other causes com
ibined Z What is there in It's com.
position to command popular con
Iiidence Who belongs TO it that

cedcnts, or Of his statesmanship 20
the confidence or respect Of the
/ Democratic party 7 Certainly il
lis rot Andrew johnson. nor Will
liam II. Seward, nor Edwin M.
stanton. True, this Administra-
ton had n right policy, but the
policy having failed, and having
failed too, through the feeblcness
land folly and offenses against pub
Ilic propricty Of the Administration,
Why should not the Democratic
lparty abandon adherence to which
is death. Hi fot 81
