The New Orleans Press OH the Demo-
cratic Reverses.
New ORLEANS, October 16.-This mornings
Times has leader based on the telcGraphic re.
port that the New York World reco nmends the
withdrawal of General Blau from the ticket
1t says such suggestion, confined as it is tc
one of the Democratic standard-bearers, pre-
seuts IN invidious aspect. II there be good
grounds for the witharawal OF General Blair,
there are equally good grounds for the with
drawal OF Governor Seymour. Both OF these
gentlemen are moro ambitious of making the
cause successful than of becoming themselves
the recipients of personal honors, and
caltalnly neither of them would like to be IN
any manner associated with the organization
OF defeat. We remember with what reluctance
Governor Seymour permitted himself to be
pu. in nomination for the Presidency, and are
satisfied that he would feel Ieiicyed if in any
honorable manner he could transfer TO other
and broader shoulders the responsibility under
which he now labors. Nor can we imagine for
a moment that the gallant and patriotic Gene
raj Blair would present any obstacle to such
change in the olitical programme as would fur
nish new assurances of success to the principles
enuuciated in the Democratic platform. Har-
monious and effective action is what is special
" desired. The West and South would not be
satisfied with the withdrawal of General Blair
il Governor Seymour were to remain on the
ticket. In order to satisfy all sections and at
the same time show the undiminished conf
dence of the Democracy in the gentlemen Sc
lected by the New York Convention to CHAM
pion the cause of tho people in the approach
ing Presidential contest, we would respect
fully suggest to the Democracy Of the land the
propriety ef leaving to Governor Seymour and
General Blair the high honor Of selecting
their own successors in the canvass. The old
Democratic battlc-cry has always boen 'Prin-
ciples, not men, aud the policy of adhernS to
that CRY, as well in letteras in spirit, was never
more clearly apparent than az the present.
Further, we beg leave to suggest that what
ever is done should be done quickly. This is
no time to haggle about forms or to bring TO-
eether conventions from the extremes of The
republic. The people can look forward with
confdence.to patriotic solution of the exist
ing difficulty to the statesman of the North
and the hero of the West. 1t is the gordian
knot which is now presented; VIC cannot wait
to unravel, it must be cut by the swift sharp
blow"
