[From the N. Y. Herald]
But in advance of this Cincinnati New Party Convention there will be two others, and they are to come off at Columbus, Ohio, next month. We allude to the National Convention of the Labor Reformers and that of the Temperance Reformers. Each of these parties may nominate a Presidential ticket, or they may combine upon a joint stock labor and temperance reform ticket.
The probabilities, however, are in favor of a ticket from each of these new parties, because, as we have seen in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, your labor reformer, as a rule, looks upon your cold water doctors with much of the contempt of an old line democrat. In any event these Columbus reform conventions of February may somewhat disturb the calculations of the politicians on all sides, and with these and two or three other Presidential parties in the field General Grant will have a fight as interesting as that of General Jackson, of 1832, against national republicans and anti-Masons and Southern Nullifiers, and most likely with the same general results.
