cHIEFJUsTIcE CHASE.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE,
New YORK, Sept. 27.-lt is reported by au-
the democratic candidate for the presidency, and
that eastern and western democrats have agreed
unon him on "new departure" platform. The
friends of Pendleton and Hendricks are said to
have expressed Willingness to abandon them
and greenback issues for Chase and broad prin-
ciplcs Chase's dream is to correct the mistake
made by the New York convention in 1868
which failed to put him in nomination and to
place himself, in 1872 in precisely the position
in which he would have stood had he then been
nominated. His friends think if he had been
nominated in '6S, he would have been elected
and that if he is nominated in 70, he will have
better chances than any one else, owing to the
dissatisfaction with Grant and the cordial sup.
port Chase will receive from the south.
Chase believes in platforms and organization;
that he is infallbe in organizing, and very
strong in making platforms 1t is said he has
already made platforms for ", in which he la
bors to harmonic the democratic party with
himself and himself with the democratic party,
to prove to the world that he can consistently
with his antecedents accept the democratic nom
nation, and that the democratic party can con-
sistently with its antecedents take him for its
candidate, he is making, or striving to make
himself the centre hcad-centre of the demo-
cratic party, and is grasping the lines of its or
ganzation. The new departure" in Ohio was
compounded by himself, and the late Nallan-
digham, who was 10 be the power behind the
presidential throne. He has become doctor Of
platforms in general, and has lately ofiiciated
in that capacity for democrats of West Virginia
The gathering of the clans has commenced, but
they are all democratic.
