THE NEW PARTY.

the Ohio and Indiana elections, says:
The Indiana election was a revolu-
ton. A change of 10000 votes to tile
Republican party within two years in
so closely contested State is signifi-
cant of the final overthrow Of the Dem
ocratic party. This revolution not on
ly means the defeat of Hancock in No.
vember, but it means the dlsbandment
of the Democratic OganiZation, to be
followed by the disruption of the Re-
publican party and the reconstruction
of parties on new issues. The disinte-
grafton of the southern wing of the
Democratic party is now far advanced
III nearly every Southern State. With
"a reasonable certainty of the election
of Hancock the southern Democrats
would stick to the national ticket and
cast 1873 electoral votes for the Demo-
cratic candidate; but the unexpected
overwhelming disaster in Indiana will
paralyze the southern Democrats, and
the l3S southern electoral votes will
not now he counted rs sure for Ham
cock. The change of opinion by the
result Of the election Tuesday has fair
~ stunned the southern Democrats
They see in that result 4 solid North
for Garfield. The Indiana verdict de-
mands that the political solid South
shall he tie first to disband.
During the past two or three years
the ADVANCE has iterated and reiter-
ated the fact, that the times demanded
new party. OF course we have been
called Greenbacker, ''traitor," etc., for
doing so, but this does not change the
fact or the tendency of the people to
bring in change. The N. Y. Post re-
Gently proclaimed the same fact, The
Republican and Democratic parties
will hold together during this cam
paign, and then rapidly 90 to pieces.
AS i party, the Republican party has
become the tool 1T mOnopolists, capital
lists and corrupt politicians and the peo-
pie will condemn it. AS 4 choice be-
tween this party and the old Democrat
ic, they will for the present stand by
the Republican party. But the settle
ment Of the Southern question and pol
itical reform demand Il new party.
Two years ago we copied from the La
Crosse Republican and Leader bonn
bastic article on Dunnell, and the Win
dom Reporter now publishes portion
Of il and credits it to the Republic.
Two years sometimes change Il mans
opinion in regard to men. Less than two
years ago We were foolish enough to
write Dnnnell urging him to appoint
the editor Of the Reporter Deputy Rev.
enue Collector; but if the good Lord
will forgive US for 80 foolish an act we
will never do it again. We have since
learned that the man was brainless
dnl,e and that truth, decency and re-
spectability are entirely foreign to his
nature, and Dunnell did Just right in
not appointing him.-Jackson Repub-
lie.
Go for him, Chamberlin. Hit him few
for us. We also recommended Eb for
that Office, and few years ago we
tramped around at the Owatonna Con-
vention and got him on the District
Committe for this end. He isn't as
grateful to his tumble" friends as he is
to his master, Dunnell. Now he says
we are in favor Of smashing the Repub-
lican party and the Christian religion
and all that. But, then. Dunnell cot
him a 81. 900 nail telling to print and
we don't blame him much for being a
Dunnell man.
