THE PRESIDENCY.

Campaign of 1854.
The Presidency is Within Tllden's
Easy Reach.
Republicanlsm Now at Discount.

A Washington special 10 the Chicago
News says Ex-senator David Davis. who
is now here on his way back from North
Carolina, says that he will not come 20
Washington this winter. lie has no desire
to do so, and thinks further. il he did visit
the city his presence would be misconstru-
ed and he would be credited with politi-
cal ambition he does not possess, He SAYS
the North Carolinans lose all their good ma
ture at the mere mention OF the name Of
Butler. The judge was engaged in CONVEX
sation TO day with prominent democrat.
The latter said he was certain OF Buffers
reelection, Mahone's defeat In Virginia and
large democratic victory in New York
aud New Jersey. Judge Davis said II this
were true he did not see how the republican
party could expect to win next year. He
/ then went on to say that the republican
( party organization would certainly break
! up if it should sustain defeat In ma
/ tional canvass. Then the breaking off from
/ both Of the existing parties would naturally
make new party. No new party could
come until then he believed. For instance,
the south would be solid so long as the re-
D
that up, and the s0idity Of the south would
naturally disappear. The democratic par
ty had been defeated many times, but ~
: vitality depends upon It's opposition
There was nothing more TO 10 than that.
Judge Davis believes Tilden can have th,
% democratic nomination next year L he de
J sires IL, but he does not pretend TO have am
special information upon the subject. IL,

postmaster-general and thinks he has

high-minded to remain In the cabinet AM

unprecedented observer from bis vantag
q ground OF private life, says that he thinks

have their say about the nomination mex
