TIE OHIO NEW PARTY.

So far as the new party movement in Ohio
looks to an abandonment of the field by the
old Democracy, or offers to the Democratic
party way out from the shadow of q bad
record and a bad name, while affordirg at
the same time an opportunity for Republicans
dissatisfied with the policy and the leadership
of their own party to combine and make ef-
fective their opposition, it is deserving Of en-
couragement. SO far as it offers good nomi-
nations and evinces determination to uphold
its principles it deserves success. The plat
form adopted is, in the main, well enough,
but unhappily the country has lost con-
fidenee in platforms. 1t is so easy for
bad party to adopt good platform
for an unfaithful and dishonest party to
put forth double-faced and tricky reso-
lutions, or to promise squarely what they
have not the slightest idea Of fulfilling, that
the people have come to consider platforms
as of the slightest possible account-the merest
lumber of politics. A convention may resolve
till all is blue and it amounts to nothing
binds no one; it has no responsibility; the
politicians have always understood that; the
people are beginning to get hold of it. Reso-
lutons are very pretty reading and that's
all. When your political party comes to the
responsibility of legislation it finds the crystal
lizing of the abstract resolution into the con-
crete statute not so easy thing to do.
The ticket nominated at Columbus is upon
the whole a fair one. The candidate for
Governor is q Democrat of sterling integ
rity, who has the esteem and confidence Of
the people of his district; the candidate
for Treasurer is one of the weathiest and
most trusted financiers in Southern Ohio; and
the candidate for Lieutenant Governor. is q
gentleman of ability and culture, who was a
soldier during the war and served gallantly.
Whether the ticket or any portion of it win be
adopted by the regular Democratic Con-
vention yet to be held remains to be seen.
Nor is it really matter of much Importance.
The trouble with this, as indeed with all new
party experiments, is in the impatience of the
leaders for immediate success. They cannot
wait to grow, but must attempt some combina-
ton OF offer some inducement for alliances
which they think will send them forward at
once to victory, but which in fact only fetters
and impedes their growth.
The result of this experimentation it is only
an experiment-cannot now be predicted. It's
chief significance is in the restessnsas under
the existing condition of affairs which it IN
dcates and thei universal reaching out for
some way of escape from present and i'm
pending evils. The comments upon it are
various, as will be seen by extracts from
prominent journals cnncerning it published

INDIAN NATIONALITIES.

The theory that our relations with tie In.
dians might be smplifed by abandoning the idea of
treating them two OF independent nations
maintaining their separate existence and territorial sove
reignty within limits, finds cOuntenance with
The Independent. This Is its way Of remandng us ia
the old massacre-breeilng and IndianexterminatIns
system:
The sum OF what wish 70 is this th3t the tribal
and national character OF the Indians distinct pOt
cal communities with Its resulting rights and dutiess
theory which has been adopted by tho Government for
nearly a century in s intercourse with them, and which
has, moreover been soemnly affirmed by the Supreme
Court OF the United States-ncidentay appears the
Constitution itself. Those who are talking so ppaly
about denationaliZng the Indian tribes, aud by
the law OF force remtting them to the condition
OF inhabitants. irrespective Of their own choice.
are simply proposing that the United states should be-
the killer OF the Indian nations and the TobOer Of
territory which belongs TO them, and that, zoo, In
the face OF four hundred treaties which have
pllctly recognized their nationality. II the people
should accept the theory OF these reeandeasy takers
and perperate the enornity, the deed while deserving
the wrath Of Heaven would expose the American name
TO reprOach OF the civilized wOrd. IL would be the
strong outraging the rights or the weak.

Controller Green recalls one of the old
armory swindles to give notice that he means
to contest the payment of the rent under a
lease which allows the lessons for one-fourth
of the armOry building rental equal to a
third of the assessed value Of the whole prop

such bill will find very nearly unanimous
approval.

Marvellous is the gastronomic senstiveness OF man
kind We mentioned the other day the protest of a
German against The Spectators sneers regarding
sauerkraut in particular and German cookery in
general Now both Spectator and German fall under
the scorn Of Frenchman, who considers the cul-
nary remarks of one and the criticism of the
other to be characterized by presumption almost
sublime. He asserts that he does MT know which is
the more ridiculous, the bold Britsher or the Ger
man who attempts to instruct the world in the gas
tronomic art. lie thinks it as absurd as that two
deaf people should talk of music, or two blind men
