WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.
GRANTS THIRD CHOICE.
According to present advices the nom
ination of Gushing will not be withdrawn
unless Mr.. Gushing himself requests, and
it is pretty generally believed that, after
be is rejected, the name of Jerry Black
will be sent in.
THE ANTI-GRANT LEADERS AND THEIR
1t seems from all that can be gathered
up to ii O'Clock Tonight that if the rup-
turs between Grant and Morton proves
irreparable, Of which there is now every
Indication, the majority Of the Republi-
cans in the Senate will follow Morton,
and that Blaine will lead off a similar fol
lowing in the House. The opinion is
freely expressed by leading Republicans
that by breaking loose from Grant the
party can be re-cemented, and that the
quarrel which would necessarily cnsue
would again embitter the people OF the
North against those Of the South, thus
sitting all the recent issues that have
been raised. There are others, however,
who deprccate the turn affairs are taking,
and express the fear that Grant by bold
and liberal policy, will capture all the
popular elements that are breaking away
from the Republican party, and form a
new organization which will sweep the
country. This class of men are trying
every means to harmonize things and
prevent an irreparable rupture. Bu,, as
Gen. Grants blood is up, there is but
little hope Of any reconciliation.
TAKING SIDES.
As far as can be judged by their utter
ances yesterday and to-day, the Wash
ington Chronicle and New York Times
will desert Grant and follow Morton, the
Washington Republican remaining stead
fast 10 him. The New York Tribune and
Sun will also go with Morton. Mr..
Sumner will become a supporter of the
and also Mr.. Fehton,
these two gentlemen having had con
ference with Conkling to day. 1t is not
probable that any considerable number
of Republican Senators will remain with
the President now, though il his position
should be found to receive an over.
whelming popular Endorsement, many of
them will no doubt desert Morton and
60 over TO him.
CHAOS CONE AGAIN.
1t is not known when the Senate will
go into Executive Session to reject Cush
ing, but probably within a day or two
When it is done, the President will i'm
mediately nominate Jerry Black, as 81
mon Cameron says tonight, and then
there will be a new chaos or course
there is no telling where it all will end,
but while it lasts there will be fun.
