Washington special says that at the investi
CATION into the Ute outbreak to-day Genera
Clinton b. Fisk and Commissioner HaJt Of
the Iudian Bureau were examined. Genera
Fisk testified that in his opinion the out
break was attributable to several causes OF
irritation, which have been operating upon

CHICAGO, January 20th.-rhe Presidentia
question is absorbing great amount OF at
tention among newspaper men, and inter
views with leading politicians are being helc
daily. Scores of summaries are sent in from
the principal cities in the West, giving 8
pretty fair index, it is presumed, of the con
dition of the public mind on the subject Of
the nominees. This is principally true Of tht
Republican candidates, for, as far as the
Democrats are concerned, there seems to be 8

also for Sherman as second choice. Grant
takes the third place in nearly every return.
His strength seems to have been greatly over,

traveller into believing that the people were
rising in a spontaneous demand that he be

Washburne Las been named as a
second choice for the Grant men,
and undeniably has some elements
of strength but much less than his political
adherents could wish. He is not regarded
by the shrewdest politicians as probable, or
even possible, candidate of any strength.
