Chief Justice Chase is an avowed aspirent
aspirant for Presidential honors. The friends
OF Speaker Colfax are urging his claims for
the position, while others clamor for Grant
or some other military hero. The Democrats
appear to have no general favorite. Andy
johnson doesn't quite suit them, while Sew
ard, Doolittle and Randall are too fresh from
the ranks of Abolitionism to be deemed
reliable. John Morrissey would undoubtedly
have been the favorite of large number of
Democrats for the Presidency, had he not
destroyed his availability for a nomination
by eschewing prize fighting, gambling and
whisky drinking.
