TEE FNDEPENpRNTs.

The late organ Of she Independents"
our city contemporary, the Banner, says of
she Independently
"They were, in this campaign, not unlike
the steam doctor who was called to treat q
chronic case Of chils. He did not exactly
understand how to cure cllills, but he could
throw the patient into fits, and he was 81
on fils'"
This candid confession we gladly vel
come. The independents" in Tennessee
in the last canvass, were just what
their organ defines them. They
did not understand how to cure anything.
They were quscks enough to say aud ad-
vertiss that they could cure any exist
ing political disease, 0us homes enough
finally to sa if the patient could by any
extraordinary process Of treatment be
brown into fits, spas7Is or spoplexy, then
they could cure him. Such is The politico-
medical science of the Banner. It's Oh
on f s. and if there be any advantage in
personal experience, it should be more so.

EXPLAINING DEFEAT.

The Banner founders about wonderfully
in attempting to ex plain the collapse of the
Liberal move. First /. tells US that ''the
death Of the Democracy was a cOnditio sine
qua non to a success of any value" The
natural inference from this is, that if mere
Democrats had stayed away from tie polls,
and more had voted for Grant, Greeley's
election would have been an fat GccOmpj.
Another plain inference is, that in proportion
as the Democracy has been weakened, in
that proportion does The Banner think the
Liberal prospect brighter.
Next it tells us that ''the mistake was the
renomination of Greeley at BALTIMORE if the
D moara.ic '.abel" had not been pasted on
his back, ne would have reached the White
House. SO the Banner argues that it was
the Democratic .qAosl' which drove thous-
ands Of Democrats from his support and
forced some even to vote for Grant.
Alex. w Mcclure, the Liberal chairman
ofPennsylgAnia, declared after the October
election that forty thous md Democrats had
stayed away from The polls, refusing to vote
for Buckalew as "Greeey Republican"
Some eighty thousand more seem to have
stayed away in November in that State.
And the Banner says it was the Democrat
ic Isabel" that drove these Democrats from
the support Of Greeley.
But the Banner, as last desperate re-
sort, finds third explanation. The mis-
take was Horace Greeley himself. 1t was
not Baltimore after all, but Cincinnati that
blundereI. The Banner never was for
Greeley; it was for Charles Francis Adams.
Tina sristocratic ape Of English snobbery
would suit it 10 a 7. But the Banner
forgets that the generous Irish vote of this
country, well nigh one million strong,
could never have been brought TO the sup
port of its semi English and aristocratis
Puritan fsvorite-Charles Francis Adams.
They hs.ye a Democratic horror of the very
name.
And SO we leave the Banner to cudgel its
brains for other explanations Of its over
whelning defeat at every point.

VARYING VIEWS,

The Banner quotes and endorses the fol-
lowing view of the St. Louis Republican:
We have said that the result would have
been diff rent but for one fatal mistake.
That mistake was the denomination of Mr..
Greeley at Baltimore, Il Gid not bring Mr..
Greeley a thousand Democratic votes that
he would not have received without it,
ana It repealed half million Republican
votes which he would certainly have receiv-
ID hut fer It.
We leave these two Liberals to fight it
on: with The Liberal Cincinnati Commercial I.
which, 50 FIR from believing that any "hal.
a million Republican votes " had been re-
peeled by any cause, said on the very eve Of
the election:
''The Liberals will be al the polls every
man Of them"
And again:
There are enough independent Repub-
Leans weary Of Grant to defeat him, pro-
vided the Democrats will vote with them -
We may also quote the Liberal New
York Sun which says, after the election:
"The Liberal Republicans have been
faithful to their pledges, but the Democrats
have beaten Greeley by not coming out to
vO.e"

vHE rRIUrpH OF HAZE.

The morning before the election the New
York Tribune made statement and pro-
pounded an inquiry as follows:
"Horace Greeley is Republican, and
never pretended to be anything else siuce
(in 1854 the Republican party was fsre-
Swallowed a. d then nodded by passing
events. As Republican be for eight years
resisted the extension of slavery into theFed-
eral Territories. AS Republican, he was
one of the first TO demand the abolition Of
slavery as a war measure. As a Republi
can, he supported the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth constitutional amendments,
and still heartily sastains them. As Re-
publican, he has ever insisted on the sup
preston of the Ku KlUx outrages. The
platform ON which be was doubly nominal
Ted for the Presidency is an advanced Re-
publican platform, and he can never stand
on any other.
"Why, then, is he widely denounced as
an apostate and renegade?"
The answer to this inquiry is furnished
in subsequent paragraph of the article from
which we extract: "Mr. Greeley wants
universal amnesty as vel as impair ial suf-
frage, and is looking to that end" 1t was
because his Republican brethren feared, if
elected, be would bring about reconcilia-
ton between the sections, and that he would
oppose those outrageous measures by which
the Southern people are harrassed and
goaded almost to madness that they de-
nounced him Gas an spostate and rene
gade." 1t was the followers of those who
are still fighting the war oyer-the aiscip'es
of The gospel Of hate, who thus denouuee
him. When Mr. Boutwell,, Grants Sscre-
tary OF the Treasury, was IN North Carolina,
pleading for a new lease Of power
for his chief, he met the proposition
to "shake hands across the bloody
chasm," with an emphatic owe pro-
test" Mr.. Robson, Grants Secre-
tary of the Navy, on another occasion,
declared that 'ahe North and the South
are as irreconcilsble as fire and water.n
Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts, one of Grants
benchmen, declared at Hartford, Connect
cut, only few days before the election,
thst 'the war, which seemingly closed at
Appomattox, is still being waged," and
that ''the war viii be waged until the last
Democrat has passed out of sight" Need
the Tribune have asked why these men
and their followers denounced Mr.. Greeley
as an apostate and renegade?' They en-
terrain the bitterest luminosity toward the
people of the South, and would make them
to this government what the Poles are to
Russia or the Irish are to England. They
mean that the war on the South shall be
waged as long as The apostles Of bate want
Office, and the people of the North are to
be educated up to the Standard OF these
men-to hate the Southern people and treat
every Northern man who treats them with
the least consideration as an enemy. The
result Of the late election is triumph of
this sentiment, more than of any principle
in government O. P0lifics9 economy.

MAMMON AND VOTES.

Under this caption last Sunday, we
showed how the silent power, the viS iner-
tie, of invested capitalists unwillingness
to hazard the chances Of any change-was
liable to affect the Presidential election.
The cowa'dice Of capis2l is proverbial. So
long as dividends come in promptly, old
MOHey-bags argues that it is better to '.let
well enough alone" What cares he for
taxes? he knows all taxes are ultimately
ground out Of the poor masses, the workers
and consumers. What cares he for the
rights and liberties of the people? he knows
instinctiyely tha the people ought to be
his enemies, because they are his victims.
What cares he for corruption? he has the
money to buy up corrupt officials and bend
them TO his benefit; corruption makes
him and his money bags a power.
Nearly year ago, before the Liberal
move took shape, we earnestly called atten-
ton to this money power, and stated that
we would have to fight it as well as Grant.
We thought it better to fight it as an open
enemy, than as silent auxiliary of Radi-
calism. We argued that we could not gain
it over to our side by any bonied phrases or
honest promises; that we would have it to
contend with, whatever we might do.
Therefore we urged that it was best to make
the issue clear and distinct before the peo-
pie, and appeal to the people. But Cincln-
natl was timid: few gingerly generalities
constituted all its platform against the huge
money corporations which are eating out
the vitals of freedom in the North. Cincin-
natl was afraid to defy the financial power
lest it should raise '9oyal" howl against
Reputation; and Baltimore, unwilling to
embarrass the Liberals, said nothing.
The North, be it remembered, are far
u.ore interested in this matter than the

Mrs. GENERAL GAINES and her famous
Law suits are again commanding the atten-
ton Of the people Of New Orleans, this time
with prospect of speedy termination Of
he? long protracted battle in the courts.
The indefatigable woman has proposed to
the City Counci! to compromise her large
claims on the city, based on judgments
sgainst the innocent holders who have Pur-
chased from the corporation property which
the United States courts have decided be-
longing to Daniel Clsrk's heirs. The New
Orleans Times says il locks very much as if
Mrs. Gains had the city in a corner on this
point, and expresses hope that reasona-
bic compromise may be effected,

TEE Bonner says of the Liberal move

TEE Bonner says of the Liberal move
ment:
1t was foredoomed to failure, ard the
failure but illustrates the truth of the prop
ositiop, and the cause Of the failure is well
understood by all who have the intelligence
for correct Interpretation of cause and eff
feet, and the honesty and the truth to &C.
knowledge it.
Does the Banner credit the New York
Tribune with ''honesty and truth" when it
quotes on another page from the Tribune
as follows:
The Liberal movement was at one
time formidable, and had a prospec of
success. Had not millions been expended
TO arrest its progress in the State elections
of the last three months, it might have
even swept the country, though all the
money raised in its behalf would ct best
have heen pence to lslance pounds. But
peril anticipated IS often q peril ayerted.
1t viii be noticed that the Tribune says
not word about that "label," ard it dates
the decline of Liberalism within "the last
three MONTHS thus exculpsting The Balti-
more Convention fiola all blame.

THE St. Louis Republican says the DEM
ocracy should have made no nomination at
Baltimore
1t should have formally and conspicuous
ly withdrawn from the field.
No doubt, If the Democracy had done
exactly this thing, the Republican and the
Banner wonld have told US that it should
not have withdrawn "formally and conspic-
uously," but just willed in The most uncon-
spicuous manner possible.
