Chnse's Prospects.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Your daily articles In regard to the nomination Of
Chief Justice Chase have so pleased myself and
friends that take the liberty Of addressing you few
lines to show you how the feeling In reference to
Chase's nomination spreads daily among my per-
sonal acquaintance. know OF at least thirty men
who have been doing business South for years, and
who since the rebellion has closed have made New
York their home and do business in this city. Not
single one but says "If Chase is nominated he win
get my vote and support. If Pendleton or such men
nominated shall not vote at ALL" SO also with
my own immediate relations, who number some
Chase and at least twelve fifteen will bolt and not
vote at ali II Pendeton is nominated; and 80 It Is
the danger of split by dsregardng the voice OF the
people. Every one Of the sixty odd persons men
conservative republicans. Hoping to see you sue
cessfu in getting Chase as our next President, am
one who wishes the welfare OF q union, North and
South, on basis Of strength and harmony.
