Your new one is designed for cars that have the steering shaft and or column grounded to the chassis. The brass spring hoop at the top of it pushes up against the hole in the wheel to make the ground connection. Use a volt meter with continuity tester to see if the steering shaft is a good ground. Or, just touch the hot horn lead to the splined end of the shaft and see if the horn honks. If so, you don't need to worry about a ground lead.
