Washington Special to the n. Y. Herald.
The Republican Senators and members
who have remained here over the recess
have had ample time to discuss the pros
poets of the party for the next Presidential
election in connection with recent events.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the ma
jority of them are Respondent and especial
ly the experienced politicians who are in
the habit of looking ahead. They concede
that the South, with the exception, perhaps,
of South Carolina, is hopelessly Demo cratic,
and that whoever may be the Democratic
candidate in 1872 will get the full Southern
vote, with the above exception. To over
come this it will be necessary for the Re-
publicans to carry all the great States OF the
North, including Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana. The first and last are doubtful,
and the leaders of the Republican party are
of the opinion that even with Grant for
a candidate nothing can save them but the
blunders of the Democracy. Should the
Democrats put forward candidates with a
good record and decent platform there
seems to be little doubt of their success
The Republicans, however. seem confident
that the Democrats will repeat the folly Oh
1865, and thus enable them TO retain power.
