 Judge Walter Q. Gresham's presiden- tial boom has been undoubtedly tine political even: ot the week in this city, from where i. seems really Co have started. Judge Gresham b extremely popular personally in Washington, aud many people here wauld rejoice to See him president, your correspondent among tue number. But cBndor com pels ne tO say that 1T the Judges boom is not more heavily backed elsewhere than it Is here, he stands little show of receiving the nomination 6t ChicagO.
