POLITICAL REFoRMERs.-Carl Schurz,
Chas. Francis Adams, Park Goodwin,
DR.. Bacon and three hundred other
" Reformers," met in convention at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, day before
yesterday. The object of the meeting
the call for which we sometime since
published and commented On-is the
organizations OF a third party, a party of
purity. The object is praiseworthy, hut
the time is i'll chosen. Success the APP
preaching fall must fall either to the
Republicans or the Democrats. All men
are in the face Of the enemy. 1t is too
late to change the front Of battle. These
respectable gentlemen may perhaps
exercise an almost controlling infiu-
nee in the campaign by casting their
strength for that man and that plat
form which give the most reliable
promise of honesty and economy j..
the public administration. Four years
must elapse before a third party can
entertain a hope of power.

OHIO DEMoCRATIO CONVENTION
To day the Ohio Dem ocratic Conven-
ton meets at Cincinnati. Our tele-
grams advise us that the friends OF
Thurman and Bill Allen alike claim
the convention. In the event of AL
lens success the convention will un-
doubleday take initiation ground.
Should Thurman be successful a hard
money platform will he inaugurated.
We incline to the belief that Thurman
and hard money in Ohio means Thur
nan and hard money at st. Louis:
and, in that event, it will be well for
the party in power to look to their
laurelS Should, on the other hand,
Allen and irredeemable money carry
the day at Cincinnati. the struggle in
the Democratic ranks will be renewed
at the National Convention, and the
chances for the success of the Democ-
racy will be vastly lessened. Time
will show.
