Party Without a Principle.

Mail and Express.
The Ohio Democrats are in a pitia BILE
predicament. Having no fixed politi-
cal principles that they dare avow,
they are unable to unite on any issue
in opposition to the Republican forces
that threaten to irresistibly sweep
the State. OF course. deep down in
its heart, the Ohio Democracy still
cherishes the fundamental Democratic
dogmas of State sovereignty and free
trade. But these dOctrins are so very
unpopular IN Ohio just now that the
men who used to cheer for Vallan-
digham do not think it good policy
to embody them in their State plat
form. Hence their dilemma.
THE farmers who are fighting the
Jute trust have got a black eye from
the Liverpool cotton men, who have
notified the New York exchange that
they will not receive bales put up in
cotton bagging. There is but one
question to be considered in dealing
with this phase of the subject, viz,
How far can the farmers afford to
hold their cotton? If the alliances
can command the means to make
advances on this cotton and hold it
for ninety days or six months the
Liverpool cotton brokers must come
to time. If the alliances cannot do
this the farmer will be compelled to
surrender to the julie trust. 1t is
question of the longest pole and the
persimmons.
