wish them success in any new Geld where

The New Programme or the Dem.
OCratlc Party.

WAsHNGTUN, Oct. l6,--There is nc
doubt that the proposition to put a
new Democratic ticket into the field
is received with favor BY the President.
The National LateHigeacer'S editorial
articles favoring the movement was
inspired from the White House.
General Hancock has had enough Of
Democratic Establishments. and SAYS
the defeat of the party is now certain,
whatever it may do,
General Roseerans says it is too late
for a change Of front that the party
has fallen irretrievably into the hands
Of the rebels, and must suffer the
consequences.
Montgomery Blair says the mis-
take was in not putting Frank Blair
atthe head Of the ticket.-Ncw York
