CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE DEMOCRATIC
NoMNAT1oN-c CONSERVATION N TIE RADICAL
DAMP. i
The Cincinnati Commercial Republican, has
the following from Washington:
II Chief Justice Chase is nominated at New
York; likelihood which is rapidly being
transformed into q certainty-his thanks for
the honor thus conferred upon him will be due,
not 30 much to the Democrats who confer it,
as to the Radicals whose Generalization at the
ly attracted Democratic attention, and finally
riYeted Democratic =detortni
There area few casos in the political history
OF the country which parallel this in the mat
so utterly and confessedly contingent upon the
action OF the other party in its nominating
convention. And do not base this assertion
upon Democratic belief, but upon Radical
confession. Let the doubter come to Wash
ington and take such men as Washburne,
and Schenck, Yates, Sumner, and Fessenden
into quiet corner for quiet talk on the politi-
col prospects, and he will find out how strong
is the belief that as between Grant and any
L.-kn nkA- .1.~ l.
tained OF Grants success. But II Chase is
nominated at New York, sit will be hard
fight" say some-"he'n beat Grant," say oth-
ers, and the wisest Of them. It is this condi-
ton OF things, and not any special love Of MIR.
Chase for the Democratic party, or the Demo-
cratic party for Mr.. Chase, that has brought
about what may be termed quiet little revolu-
ton in the ranks of the Democratic party.
" She stoops to conquer"
I have good authority for the assertion that
General Grant has said, since his nomination,
that Chase .is the only man who could make
the fight lively one."
MR. oHAsE's PLATFORM.
The issues Of the present campaign, accord
ing to MIR. Chase's idea, do not require whole
newspaper column for their setting forth. tThe
contest is a great one, but it may be put down
in very few words-it is law against force,
and am for law" If anybody can state the
ssues OF the campaign In fewer words, let him
try it.
THE CHASE MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK..
Anew York letter June 11) to the Philadel-
ohia Ledger says:
The "Chase movement" $50 called) in your
,ity attracts some attention here. It is note
worthy tact that there has been no effort to get
up q pubic demonstration ION behalf Of the
Chief Justice here-except the one which was
alluded to in this correspondence day or two
lgo, and which was so summarily nipped in
me bud. The older and more wary Of the
Democratic politicians are afraid to openly
IDENTIFY themselves with it, especially since
;he publication Of Mr. Chase's recent letter in
avor of universal suffrage, an idea which, it is
1rged, does not at all harmonize with the
heory that 'this is q white mans govern
nent."
RADICAL ExTRAvAGANcE.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes:
The Paymaster-General has thrown bvmb-
hell into the very heart Of the Radical camp
~ demanding an additional appropriation Of
rs, 600 900 to enable him to pay the extra boun-
les authorized by ac;s Of Congress to be paid
,etween now and the 1st Of December next.
This demand, and the necessity for an imme-
late compliance with it in order to keep faith
