Presidential Speculations.

The especial" of the Chicago Times, Nov.
9th, reports as follows from Washington in
reference to current specuaticns as influenced
by the recent elections:
The November election news has continued to
absorb public attention to-day to the exclusion
of most everything else of general interest, in
and out of official circles. The presence of
large number of politicians in Washington, in
Guiding good many senators and members has
added not n little to the interest in the discus
sion of the results for their speculations and
views have been freely given.
Those who are favorable TO the nomination of
Grant for president, including his particular
friend, Representative Washburne, declare that
the result in New York ard New Jersey, and the
| probable defeat Of the negro suffrage amend
ments in Minnesota and Kansas, render the nom
| ination OF Grant a foregone conclusion. They
are at the same time very indignant at the charge
Of Greeley, in to-day's Ne,c York Tribune, that
the Grant republicans staid away from the polls
| in New York, so as to allow the democrats TO
carry the state and thus force the republicans to
| unite on Grant for the presidency in preference
| to Chase or any other candidate. On the other
hand, the friends of Mr.. Chase declare that they
| are not alarmed, and that not jot of the party
| platform a. enunciated in congress must be
abated.
The departure OF the chief justice for New
York this evening gives considerable zest to the
speculations of the politicians. The democrats,
OF course, are greatly reoiced at the result, but
take particular pains to declare that it is no.
wise an Endorsement of the administration, but
. battle won entirely without its assistance
They point to Now York, where johnson was
| not mentioned in the democratic state conven-
ton, az proof of this. The New York city
democrats, however, have been freely telegraph
ing to the president the returns Some of them
| are prefxed with "God bless you"
