OHIO LIBERALS.

Union. except New York. have they
n more perfect and compact party or
panization. more earnest, prominent
and Intelligent leaders, or a larger
numerical supportamong the people.
Il has been seriously suggested that
they should in the coming election
nominate q ticket and make the fight
as an independent party; and there
are those who are sanguine enough to
anticipate success in such a move.
Since the framing and adoption Of the
famous Allen county resolutions, their
author, Hon. I. E. Cunningham, has
been mvorably mentioned By many rs
a fusion candidate OF the Liberal Re-
publicans and Democratic Reformers
for Governor.
The action of a caucus held last even
ming In Columbus. Is Indicative Of the
feeling which obtains among Ohio
Liberals. 1t seems to be the opinion
OF many that while success cannot be
expected this year, it mutt come
eventually. aud that the party a at
ford to walt. Others argue that the
time hts come In Ohio when the Lib
erar Republican party as a distinct or.
ganiz,tlon should be abandoned, while
others. though doubtful OF the policy
OF giving up the organization, advise q
fusion with the Democrats Of Allen
county. aud others In the contest, and,
II necessary to success, the formation
OF a new party. A resolution was al
ter much Discussion, finally adopted
by the caucu. as follows:
Resolced. That we will heartily join
with the Democrats OF Allen county
aud all others who choose TO particle
pate to form 4 new party to deal with
the living issues Of the day. aud will
unite with them in the adoption OF q
platform and the nomination OF u
ticket.
This movement will. If carried out,
unite the more progressive OF the
Democratic party with the Liberals
Into n new organization. and though
doubtless it will fail to achieve success
In the October election It will have the
double good effect Of compelling the
nomination OF honest men by both or
CARNATIONS and the final and total dis
indignation Of that fossllized combina-
ton Of antiquity and prejudice known
as the Democratic party. There are
many questions pressing themselves to
the front for immediate consideration,
and 1t behooves all political organiza-
tions to look out for good men. The
farmers movement has already the bal
ance OF power in all the States Of the
Mississippi Valley and westward to
the Rocky Mountains, and they won't
stand any more nonsense or imposi-
ton. They have broken the Ring in
Minnesota beaten the Washburne
clique, aud nominated their own man.
They say they will do the same every
where. Not satisfied with The SUI
premc Judge Of Illinois. they coolly
turned him out and elected one more
favorable, In their opinion, to their
Interests. They are peculiarly, and
not without reason, hostile to ring
domination. and neither the Repuo-
lisan nor Democratic parties have yet
been able to capture them or to tell
where they were tending. This move
ment In Ohio, though more political
than the Farmers Oranges, has for Its
basis the same feeling of dissatisfaction
at ring rule aud desire for the d~isplace-
ment and downfall OF the corruptlon-
lists, Of whom so many now stand In
the way Of honesty and progress. The
warfare between progressive Demo-
orats, Liberal Republicans and MEM
bers Of the Administration party Is
not so much n contest Of principle as
a dissatisfaction OH the part Of the
former with the men who assume to
represent the latter, but whom they
believe unfiithful to their trusts and
dishonest In their avowa!s. It Il In
fact dissatisfaction with the majority
which Is now holding the reins
OF government, aud not with tile
platform OIL which they were elected.
or the principles they have promised,
but fall to maintain. And this feeling
Of rebellion Is growing everywhere.

1t aunot be denied, however, that
the tendency OF the times Is to disrup-
t'on Of party ties, and that an under
current OF popular feeling Is running
strongly against aucu domination
and ring government. New parties
are constantly forming. There are no
national issues upon which to crystal
lize an opposition to the Republican
organization; save the single one OF
corruption, and doubtless all needful
reforms could be made within the
