JUNE 20. 1872.
The Cincinnati movement conceived In
corruption, has so far spread It's malignant
influence that prompt measures alone can
save the Democratic party from disbanG-
rnent and destruction. II Is impossible for
the village politicians who have seized
the party machinery 10 succeed In any.
thing but their avowed object is to dis.
band the party as o means OF future
usefulness. The democratic organization
should be preserved and as the Greeley
ties announce their intention 10 bolt and
to support their candidate II they do not
secure their object, 1t Is now the duty Of
true Democrats to prepare for severance
from politicians and by throwing off the
elements Of discord to make the organiza.
tion purer, stronger and better in the
tuture. The honest men Of the country
will be attracted to that party which
plants itself upon those principles. The
Cincinnati Convention was a sell con-
stituted body Of leaders without follow
ers. Half Of them have bolted. It
requires only one bold prompt action TO
send dismay into the ranks of the schem.
