WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The political
senaiiOn Of yesterday, predieAted on the
article in the New York World regarding
the withdrawal Of General Blair from the
Democratic ticket, has been pretty efeetu-
ally exploded. The Infelligsncer, a. anti
cipaled in last nights dispatches, came out

article, but careful investigation shows
thht the movement has neither had its
origin with, nor was it supported By, the
leading Democrats Of the country. Tele-
grams from prominent man Of the party
have been received to-day, utterly repudi-
ating and denouncing the proposition, and
adding that there is nothing in the recent
elections that should discourage the Demo-
cratic party. The New York Democracy,
represented through Governor Charch, Mr..
Belmont, Samuel j. Tilden and Richard
Schell, have telegrsphed, repudiating the
Worlds article, and declaring it was not
written after consultation with any Of the
| party.
The evening Democratic organ also de-
clares that the article has been misappre-
hended, and is a foolish one.

eerned, no proposition has been made to
him to become the Democratic candidate,
