The New Departure and the next PresI-

l.
dency--Vtews of Cen. +. e. Blair
correspondent of the New York Her
aid in an interesting interview with Hon.
Frank p. Blair makes a report in effect as
follows:
General Blair does not think there is a
general desire, without the drTiere pe1asee,
among Democrats to see the new depar-
ture success, but We can't tell, he adds,
what men will do to help cause. Some
Democrats undoubtedly think it @ wise
movement. The more intelligent, how
ever, will refuse to accept the platform ar
ranged by Vallandigham. There will not
be serious fight among the Democrats of
Missouri on this question. Missouri is all
safe for hundred thousand majority in
the next presidential election, without
Juggling in any new departures. The Ger
mans. dissatisfied with Grants treatment
OF Schurz, and pleased with Gratz Browns
fight against merchandising citizens,
will come to the polls and vote the Demo-
cratic ticket to man. The new depar-
ture, So called, is merely second edition
and natural sequence of the action of
Iammany Hall, when they put Chase in
the race as candidate for the Presidency.
Were the NEW departure adopted by
the Democracy generally, the most avails-
Die candidate for the Presidency would be
Gratz Brown, present Governor Of Mis-
souri,, for the reason that it will be neces-
sary to harmonic the candidate with the
new departure" Who so we'll harmo-
niZed already as Brown? Furthermore,
he is an especial favorite with the Ger
mans Of Missouri particularly. You will
recoliect that he was the especial cham
plon of the nti-disenfranchising minority
In that State, and from his perseverance
be soon made it majority. The German
republicans OF Missouri were opposed 20
Observation-Disclosures from the beginning.
Brown, supported by Scburz aud the Ger
mans. won the day on this issue alone.
The Germans all over the Union are in
censed against Grant, aud with good cause
because Of his treatment Of Schurz and
other Germans within the past year.
Brown could easily receive the support OF
all the German republicans in America,
which. added to the regular democratic
vote, would give the election to the demo-
cracy, and there is no doubt that the Ger
mans throughout the country would sup
port such ticket. Brown is tie only man
tor the contingency. There would be no
trouble IN the world for him &c go in Oh
the new departure. He always has been
a new 1eparturist," and will train along
with that principle like Il matched team OF
Kentucky geldings.
There was more talk on the subject; but
it l. not deemed OF sufficient Interest to
publish. Suffice it to say that Blair sees
Il new departure, which has net as yet oc-
Cured to the perceptions of less fortunate
prophets, and sholld his ideas assume a
eff tie shape. there Will b. new dppar-
