1psc'oI Despatch to The EUeniu0 Telegraph,
A. u. 10 DisAppointed,


WASHINGTON, July 10.-The President is by nc
means satisfied with the New York nominations.
He holds that the Democratic party has PLAYED
into the hands of their political opponents by
adopting policy that will unite them in sup.
port of General Grant.
The President was strongly in favor OF Mr..
Chase as the only man that could have chance
OF success against the Republican ticket He
supported the Chase movement in accordance
with the policy that dictated the PhIadeIphia
Convention. The failure of both these move
ments shows that there is no mid lie ground
between the two great parties.
1t is considered doubtful whether the Presi
dent will extend any executive support to the
New York ticket. All parties we're surprised at
Seynour's nomination, which seems to afford
most pleasure to the Republicans, who are now
confident of a victory, which opens up the old
issues in which they have been sustained by the
country.
The defeat of Chase Is attributed to the bitter
opposition OF the extreme Western men. which
rendered it useless TO bring his name formally
before The Convention. 1t is anticipated that
the Presidential canvass will be the most bitter
and exciting that has occurred foT years.
PrsSidSAtIal Nominations.
