RATIFICATION MEETING AT CINCINNATI.
Cincinnati, August 4.-The call for
meeting at Woods Theatre, tonight, 10 rat
ify the action Of the peoples convention
held at Columbus, on the 30th ult., drew .
crowd of from l, 500 to 2, 600 persons. VIM.
N. Ramsey Was elected President, With
long List Of Vice Presidents. Mr.. Rameey,
on taking the chair, arraisned both parties
ior having been false to the interests Of the
people. and said that under Republican rule
the Federal government had been increasing
in power, while the Democratic party had
forgotten the doctrine Of strict construction
Of the constitution. The ballot. he claimed,
bad been cast reluctantly the past few years.
and that the time had now come for indie
pendent action.
E. NJ. Davis, representing the Labor Re
formers, was introduced at the close of the
speech, and read the following preambles and
resolutions, which were, at the close Of the
meeting, adopted:
WHEREAS, The Republican party has
ceased to be means Of protection for the
people, and the Democratic party has ceased
to be . full instrument Of reform; and
WHEREAS, The condition OF the country,
and the distress Of the people, demand a rev
party; therefore be it
Resdred, That We, the people Of Cincin-
natl, do hereby endorse the platform adopted
at the Peoples Convention, held at Coium-
bus on the 30th OF July.
Resolrsd, That the name of this party shall
be the Peoples party.
Hon. Thos. Z. Cunningham, an,hor ofthe
Allen county resolutions, followed Mr..
plause. He said the Democratic party was
no longer useful TO the country, and held
that a party had no right to live after the
purpose Of its organization had been accom-
plished. Beyond that its continuance vas
mischievous. Both parties had outlived
their usefulness. The movement ending in
the founding OF a peoples party was born Of
necessity and would succeed. The Demo-
cratic party might postpone success, but
could not finally prevent the people from
succeeding.
Hon. George E. Pugh was loudly
called for. In responding he spoke specially
Of his observations of the operations Of
the Convention of Columbus, arrzigned both
parties for dishonesty, and said he proposed
to spend the remaining years Of his life in
whipping thieves and rascals out of the tenn
ole OF our Liberties. Letters we're received
from ex Secretary Cox and Judse S,,llo
both giving their adhe,ion TO the new move,
