THE CHANGE OF FRONT MOVEMENT.
WASHINGTON, D. G., October 19.-The
change of front movement, contrary to
public expection, SO far from being aban-
doned, to-day seems to have greater force.
What at first was the expression of single
journal has found response from large
portion of the Democratic party.
MONTGOMERY BLAIR
asks them to treat the idea as absurd, and
even gave his opinion, in terms more en-
phatic than refined. While denouncing
the movement he does not regard it as i'm
probable, and if our friends now in CONSUL
tation in New York decide to make a
change, he would give the new ticket his
hearty support.
GENERAL BLAIR.
And such is the position of General Blair.
He has written a letter to the Executive
Committee, in which he says whatever
may be its action will meet his approval
GENERAL RosECRANs
also, who has been represented as opposing
change, is in favor of it. He left for
New York tonight to give his aid in that
respect.
SOUTHESERS.
A number of distinguished Southeners
likewise have added the weight of their
names, and in circular just issued pro-
pose the names of Chase and General
Franklin, and urging Seymour and Blair to
withdraw.
From the New York Herald.l
ONE WAY TO SETTLE IT.
The time is getting short. Some of the
Democracy want new ticket. How can
their wish be satisfied? The shortest way
is for Seymour and Blair to put their heads
together and resign in favor of Grant and
Colfax. This will throw both parties to-
geiher, and, in division of the spoils, will
bring about such confusion of parties at
Washington as to be followed speedily by
a reconstruction of parties ont and out. 1t
will come to this at last, but Seymour and
Blair may begin theR work now. Is it not
probable that for Grant and Colfax this
Democratic electoral ticket would get more
votes than the Radical, electoral ticket, and
thus, after all, elect the next President?
Does not this idea suggest brilliant flank
movement? As military man, what says
General Blair?
THE WORLD ON SEYMOUR.
Having witnessed the results of inferior
leadership, it is his duty to bring back the
canvass to the moderate and proselytizing
ground on which it was his original wish to
place it. ......
After these defeats, the masses of the De-
mocracy need words of encouragement from
their trusted leader. The Democratic
masses are never so wronged as by those
who underrate their intelligence. They
see through and scorn the legerdemain by
which facts are softened or colored, but
they will listen with profound respect to
the sober counsels of sincere statesman,
who knows no art but robust integrity.

From the Cincinnati Chrenicle.l
We are in the situation OF Sheridan after
the battle Of Five Forks: IA great victory
has been gained. We can capture Lees
whole army if we push things" Let us re-
member our heroic leaders reply, and
''push things" We should be content with
nothing less than the utter disbandment oil
treason-tainted Democracy. Now is the
time. The panic flight has commenced.
'Push things.p
[From the New York Herald
EVEN JOHNSON IS DIsGUsTEB.
1 Inc PRESIDENT is reported by one OF his
friends to-day as being somewhat disgusted
with many recent acts of the Southern re-
bells. The conversation grew out of read
ing the telegram this morning giving an
account Of Ku-Klux outrages on Saturday
in South Carolina and Louisiana, and it is
stated that the President said such things
were doing more to promote Grants cleo
tion than the speeches of any ;dozen men
on the stump, He thought the Southern
ers were very short sighted, and added that
he supposed they would quiet down after
the election.
