The Columbus Convention has made O good i'm.
preston on the public, no matter what the parti-
san press or the opposing politicians may say to
the contrary. What commends 1t most to popular
regard Is the almost entire freedom Of the ticket
fiom the strictly professional politician, although
nearly all the nominees men more or less iden-
titled in years past with State politics. Judge Col
Inns is lawyer OF good ability, enjoying lucrative
practice. He is In no sense an orator, but good
plain, sensible speaker. Saunders Piatt is brother
capitol The nominees for the Supreme bench ant
the attorney generalship are men noted for ability
and integrity, while the remaining names Of the
ticket are regarded as first class men.
The morning press devote a large space TO q
canvas OF the Convention and the ticket to-day.
OPINIONS OF THE OHIO PRESS.
The Commercial says, In substance, that the
third party movement is a surprising and auspi-
cious success to Its friends who Will show evidence
of their encouragement and resolution to perse-
we're by nominating county tickets In the more in
teigent and important parts OF the State setting
the example at an early day in Hamilton county. The
Convention was one that will trouble the Grant
grabbers and the Thurman Beurbons. II SAYS the
fifth resolution contains the pith OF the platform

The Gazette says 1.-THE Convention did not ac
cept Mr.. Groesbeck's excellent advice as to name
for the new party. whereby he proposed 10 join
the ancient dead odor Of the democratic name
with the smell OF the more recent decomposition
OF LIBERAL 1t took the name OF Peoples Party
probably for the reason that 1t is unknown to the
people. General Ewing being called on made
speech, in which he told them that the name OF
democrat is so odous to the people Of Ohio that
1t would be fatal to any party. We see no reason
why anybody should not hold a convention and
nominate ticket and make platform. 1t is a
harmless enjoyment. The ticket is composed OF
inOnenslve men, and doubtless some one looks
upon his work In the composition OF the same with
pride. Why should any be forbidden this inoden-

The inquirer says: ''The new party, judging from
our standpoint does not come into the world under
catering auspices The men who stood as god
fathers to IL at Columbus yesterday may be earnest
and sincere but they will be looked upon as po-
ltcal adventurers Their desire TO reform the poll
tics OF the country may be intense, but their pro-
mise Is no greater than that OF other political
organizations which will lift obscure men into place
and n3htoriety II Is apparent 70 an observer that
democracy last Fall was but slightly represented
at Columbus yesterday The rank and file OF the
liberal republicans will act with the regular demo-
cratic organization, we take it, in counties where
they have no organization OF their own. To
sum up, the new party which comes TO us
with a flourish OF trumpets Is but weak and
puny affair. The meagre Convention, the indiner-
ence with which its action is received and the
character and antecedents OF the participants all

there was great popular demand for new party
was but deluson and snare. 1t is not a peo-
pies movement and 1t Will never become peo-
pies party. The managers, through their platform,
propose nothing that cannot be obtained through
The regenerated, lberaiized and m0dernzed demo-
cratic party. We look upon this movement now as
but an instruction among the quartermasters
and contractors OF the democra tic party. Their
EFFORTS Will be mainly directed against that organi-
cation but IL will rise superior TO their assaults It

ask no animation or cooperation with the demo.
