w. S. GRoEsBEcK of Ohio who made a ma
tional reputation at the impeachment trial of
President johnson, has been writing letter
to Democratic friend. He wants a new
party and says the Democratic party cannot
succeed nor even become the nucleus of a
successful party. All this is very unpalata-
be to the Boston Post and other ID II cratic
organs. Mr.. Groesbeck has always acted
with the Democrats. He is a statesman and
not a politician. There are signs that in
Ohio the experiment which he recommends
