Boston Post, the veteran Democratic
organ of Massachusetts,, has this tc
say Of the late Ohio Convention Of
the "new movement" Democracy:

true secret Of the vitality OF the Dem
ocratio party, which puzzles so many
wlllful partisans, is its identity with
the Constitution 1t can 60 down
only with the Constitution 1t can
go down only with the fall of that
Hence the frantic efforts to put the
grand old party out of existence are
