Gle BIZ the Cooperstown, New York, Freeman;s
Journal, Is thought to have been inspired by
Judge Wilson, of the United States Supreme
Court:
Chief Justice Chase has dismissed all thought
of being q candidate for President this year,
and In favor of the Nomination of Senator
Trumbull as the opposition candidate. MIR.
| Trumbull is understood to be a revenue tariff
man, and opposed to high protective tariff.
The health of Judge Chase Is not sufficiently
restored to admit of The excitement of pollt-
ical campaign such as we are likely to nave
this year, a fact which he fully realizes. Most
OF the leading Democrats OF this State are at
present inclined to accept Senator Trumouil
as the ''comiog man." but oppose any preclpl-
| tate action.
