JSgc’As new issues have arisen, the Republican party has taken grounds plainly and unequivocally, and marched straight forward to the accomplishment of its purpose. And now it has entered upon the great contest being waged between the people and the railroad and other moneyed corporations. Already the influehce of the position taken by the Republican State Conventions of Ohio, lowa, Minnesota and Maine is beginning to be felt. A month ago the railroads of this State defiantly published their rates of freight and fare even highef than they had been before. But now they are beginning to yield, so that on all principal lines in this State their rates have been and are being reduced to a point lower than they have been for the last ten years.— Princeton (III.) Republican. Boston (Mass.) Journal says of the attempt to make a political machine out of the farmers’ movement: “That many wrongs exist that demand righting we do not doubt, but to break loose from all ties and give up all other principles to effect a change is not the way to succeed. Influence enough can be brought to bear on legislation without new organizations, to bring about all that is desired. The wiser portions of the Grangers believe this, and are deprecating the formation of a party which will be Sure to fall into the hands of designing politicians. Rapids (Mich.) Eagle says: If there is a class in Ohio more particularly noted for their trading propensities than any other, it is composed of the movers in that new party. They are the same set that assisted in the labor of preparing the crow feast for their Democratic friends last year, in the most astonishing bargain and sale operation ever known .in American politics—a trade in which each party was sure, when the election returns came in, that though it had bought the turkey-buzzard, the other had not secured the turkey. CjSTThe Detroit (Mich) Tribune says of the coming elections: The issue is a fair and square one between Republicanism and its average tendencies and Democracy and its average tendencies. Of course the ' result will be another emphatic Verdict against that party whose .record is stained by pro-slavery, disloyalty, -repudiation, resistance to equal rights, Tammanyism, and self-stultification.
