TIE MAIN STEP IL THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
From The CAioaoo ni5uAs (Tndl
The main step has been taken in affOrding
the citizens OF Ohio the opportunity for breaking of
from political associations which longer represent
anything useful. They may feel that they oppose
the vllanes against which they have protested in vain
without doing violence to former attachments, and
without abandoning principles which they advocated as
long they needed advocacy In the present condition
things the displacement Of the Republican party
the advancement OF the Democratic party TO power. The
Republican party can never be dspOssessed on these
terms. The ohio movement recognizes this fact and
therefore commences by antagonizng the Democratic
rather than the Republican organization II the hard
heads OF the Democratic party MAINTAIN their old
organization in Ohio. as they seem likely to do they will
do the new movement "A service in the end. IL wants
be an essentially new political movement, array
ing itself against party abuses on all sides. The
walk. This is what the new party must do.
IL the opposition keep clear OF both parties,
1t will grow by acereton from both parties. Individual
Republicans and individual Democrats will unite with

the time. In this respect the opposition movement In
ONO has started out In the right direction, and 1t
better afford defeat than compromise with the Conven
which meets the 9th Of August. The country Is
sadly In need OF party composed OF brave men fighting
for principles needless OF numbers and regardless OF
success. Let us hope that OHIO has furnished the
clsus OF such party, with which the AntiMonopoly
OF Iowa. Illinois, and Kansas aud Minnesota, whose
aims essentially the same, may unite before the
paign OF 1876.
