with tho rcguiar Democratic organization, wo
take 1t, in counties whero they have no organi-
zation Of their own. 70 sum up, tho now party,
which comes to uB with flourish of trumpeta, is
vention, tho indifference with which it's action is
received, and the character and antecodenta Of
tho participants MI 60 to prove that the oft-re-
peatod declaration THAT there WAS O great

peoples movement, and it will mover be-
come Peoples party. Tie managers,

Wo look upon this movement now aB but au ILL
surrection among tho 9uartotmaatefs and con-
tractors Of tho Democratic party. Their efforts
but it will rise superior to their assaults. It IL
understood that tho founders Of tho now party
ask no afli]iation Or cooperation with tho Domo-
cratic party. Let lib soc to it. then, that they
do rot recoivo any. Tho Democracy, on tho
9Th Of. AnguBt, can nominate good ticlot,
and adopt platform which will be in
doraod by overy true roformer In tho State.
With our consent, the ticket nominated on that
