Presidential Speculations.

Mr. Alick Horn Junior, Of the
Meridian Mercury, writes as follows
from Washington, under recent date :
From all indications, it is quite evident
that Grant viii lie the champion of the
Republican party. The report that Grant
viii be withdrawn from the Presidential
contest is considered without foundation,
and Furthermore, simply rumor Of his
opponents.
From what / can ascertain, Iilden Is not
considered, by Democrats here, the proper
man To nominate for President at Clncin-
natl in june. 1t seems to be the desire of
many TO have new deal. Some are Of the
opinion that Seymour is the most available
man to harmonic the Democracy Of New
York and secure for that state 4 Demo
cratic victory i'm 1850. In case of Grant
being the champion of the Republican par
tv, many leading Democrats are in favor OF
the nomination Of cen. Hancock.
