nation. II possible, to wrest the power from
the ruling party. The Democratic prcss
are jubilsnt over the split in the Rcpubli-
can party. and arc nearly unanimous for q
straight Democratic ticket.
The nominees Of the Cincinnati Conyen.
tion arc to well known to need any notice,
and We pass on to the platform upon which
they stand. This document no true Dem.
ccrat can endorse. In II the nre contained
ncady all the principles Of the Radical
Republicans. the only difference being the
de@sad, on the part Of the Liberal Repub-
Rcans. for an honcA and economical ad
ministration Of the affairs Of khe govern.
anant. and Tor the immediate and absolute
removal Of all disabilities imposed on ac.
count Of the late war, which was ended
moro than seven years ago.
The Liberal Republicans have hopeless

gaining strength every day. They will
carry with thcm q very large minority Of
the Republican party, including the ma.
joriiy Of their best and ublcst men. ANY

scunion Of the two wings Of the Rcpub.

Democratic victory can be easily achieved
A few thousand votes drawn from the
Radical Republican party by the Liberals,
nm each Of the States Of New York, Penn
'sylvania, ohio. Illinois. .Nes Jersey and
Connecticut. will ensure them for the
Democratic nominees. These States, will,
those the Democracy can now carry, make
Democratic victory a certainty.
The Cincinnati movement is purely Re.
publican--got,en up by Republicans and
led by Republicans, and has no sympathy
at oil with the Democracy. They abhor
and denonncc Democratic principles in the
strongest terms. and VIC do not see how
: any Democrat eau surpor. the ticket.
The proper course for the Democracy te
pursue is. 10 adhere strictly to their
iimc-honorcd principles aad place iu tho
field men Of high moral character, devo.
fedly aud sincerely attached to them
