Special Dispatch TO the Cincinnati ENQUIRER
New YORK, Oct. t. 1S6S.-A coup
Fetat of the first political magnitude, and
of the highest order of sensationalism, is
vaguely foreshadowed in the World to-day,
in double-leaded leader on the youth
full Indomiiable Democracy"
This editorial has caused the intensest
excitement What does the World mean?
is in eyeryhody's mouth. | am able to say
that the article was not published without
grave considerations. More than editorial
heads are believed to have cOncocted it.
What it indicates in fact, day may.Ering
forth, and you may be sure you will he in
formed. Reduced to tangible form, the
implications Of the article are believed to
be these: Governor Seymour, IL assured
another name than his will be mOIe pO-
tenlial, stands ready 10 withdraw. of
General Biair's mind on the same subject,
no data are apparent. II is believed that
the article is. intended TO call ont what he
thinks.
In the event oil Seymolr'5 willingness to
withdraw being accepted, and of Blair also
proving, or being made willing too, then
without an hours delay, quorum Of the
National Committee is to be summoned,
and new candidates presented. I! is pro-
posed, in such case, to.have the committee
communicate with August Belmont here,
and through him vote by telegraph for
President and Vice President The cleo
tors in each State would remain the same,
and no change, except of candidates, would
be necessary. Il j. the wish of the De
mocracy here, ! am bound to add, and their
expectations that If any new names are run
mp, they will be
For Presidents Salmon F. Chase
For Vice Prssident-John QuiHcy
Adams, Of Massachusetts,, or Winfield
Scott Hancock, of Pennsylvania, or Thomas
A. Hendricks, OF Indiana.
For the first place no one bat Chase is
thought Of For the second Hancock ia not
without friends, though Adams stock il far
ahead since his Columbia speech. This
movement ia not spasmOdlC.
A telegram simultaneously in the En-
guirer the H0r'd, the Chicago Times, and
the St. Louis Times L few days ago, As fol-
lows, bore upon it, "fhe Chief Justice en-
phatically denies that any body has been
authorized to declare his support Tor Grant
| and ColfaX. lie wishes the reverse to be
distinctly understood" This disclaimer
was put ont 10 cover this very movement,
then not expected hut thought possible.
The programme of to-day il the sequence.
A Misunderstanding Democrats argue that
a change Of front ia the face Of the enemy
is surrender in advance, and that there is
no good basis on which to expect anything
but certain defeat rs thinga now stand that
five are beaten they prefer 10 be conquered
in a fair fight with the present leaders
rather than 10 win by iinesse, and by the
names ofhereditlry euemies OF Democracy.
Undoubtedly, hO@rTer, the young Demo-
CraCy,' to whom the World speaks and for
whom it mounts INTO the saddle, are for the
change, and the State is abaZe with cnthu-
| siasm for it,
The widest rumors are abroad, such as
that NJ. Belmont will be out in an ''EnCy-
| clica' tomorrow, announcing the new die
pensatiOn, that Mr. Seymour is in the
hands of his friends, and that Frank Blair
! will prove no obstacle.
1t is wisest TO wait. Very possibly moth
ing will come Of it. Time il TOO short
the tactics too novel and FrenChy. Il is be-
lieved-any way it il said-the World has
discounted victory on the present basis, aud
| put itself in the position uf the Il post taci0
wisdom expressed in Il told you so :"
