The new "Pooples Reform Party" Ct
winch that eminent citizen, Mr.. Cornell
Jewett, is the father, held an adjourned
meeting, in Cincinnati, on the 18th instant.
As the number Of the audience, on that oc-
caslon, was only twenty-five, and aa Nj.
William II. Cory and Mr. Alexander Long
were, beside the eminent Jewett, The only
announced speakers, the meeting would not
be worth paragraph were it not that Mr..
George E. Pugh appeared, unannounced and
unexpected, among them. Mr.. Pugh made
a little speech, in which he defined
his present position. He cordially
agreed" he smd, with ssmuch"
Of A1r. Cornell Jewett'a report Of
platform, but how much and what, he
did not state, believing, perhaps, as We Ger
tainly do, that the how much and what
were Of not the slightest consequence.
Neither was he yet disposed to give in his
adhesion to this new party, preferring to
"think over it" before he abandoned that
with which he had acted for twenty-five
years. On one point, however, he did not
agree with this Peoples party-he "was net
convinced as to the propriety Of entire re-
pndiatiou;" and, on another, We think, n
much larger number Of people than 31r.
Jewett will ever draw together will cordially
agree with the excellence Of Mr.. Pnghs
aspiration ssthat he trusted in God he
should never again be "a candidate for
ofhce!"

ALL represent General Sickles' friends MS
making an active effort to prevent the con-
6rmation OF Sanford to Spain, in order to
secure that position for General Sickles.
One Of these is evidently misinformed, and
We do not doubt it is the Tribune. General
Sicles has spent several fortunes in
political contests and IN the war,
but he is not man Of fortune nov. That
he should, on leaving tho army, refuse to
accept any public office, and prefer to re-
su1ne the practice OF law, is at least remark
able, if the mission to Spain has been
offered him. He denies that he has had
any Misunderstanding or unfrendiy inter-

must have greatly changed since be accept
