TRE INDEPENDENTS.

Ine Nominating Committee of the
Independent Political Club was in
secret conclavo on Monday night.
Owing to a break in DIR grapevine
telegraph, we were unable to furnish a
report of the dOings until this morn
ing, it taking some time to repair the
damage done to our means of
communication.
From the time the meeting was
called to order were evident signs of
their being ~''brcakers ahead" pre-
monitory symptoms of a general out
break were noticeable. The spirit of
discomfort +" ruled the roost," and ere
long the gathering storm broke i'm all
its fury. The n free and Independ-
ent voters, acting as committee to
nominate good and worthy men to
office, emerged into u mutual admira-
ton society, and no office was sought
to he represented. but what from three
To five of the Committee on Safety had
their names presented As aSpirants to
sucE hOnOrs. An entire new ticket
was insisted on-demanded, as the
only means 10y which the party could
hope to succeed. No Endorsements for
them; nothing but a party ticket
would meet the emergency. James
Reilly and Samuel Goldstone were
nominated as candidates for the As
sembly formerly men of the
Democracy now OF the peoples
party. The announcement of
the intention to run i'll opposition to
the legislative nominees of the other
parties vas greeted with the greatest
confusion. Two of the prominent men,
bers of the committee announced that
they ''washed their hands" and would
leave the party. One OF them showed
a spirit of independence that was not
anticipated. Some remarked that
he was u ''bolter." when the individu-
I'll arose and in atcrse speech expressed
his views and ideas of Independence,
and concluded by saying that if his
action was not agreeable to the COM

peudonce in its true sense. The spirit
of di>cord once famed to life sCOn
burst into a flame. Another member
had discovered that the nomination
of John II. Baker for District Attorney
was illegal; that he had not received 4
sufficient number of votes to he given
the nomination. Unfortunately, Mr..
Baker, who is Secretary of the club, is
absent Oh hunting cXpedi-

defense, the nomination was reseinded.
one OF the prominent members here
arose and showed boiling symptoms
on count ofthe committee not obServ-
ing parliamentary usaSes, and the mu-
tual admirers took Il vote to ascertain
il the gentleman's charge was true.
The result was the committee being
sustained, and the parliamentary
man." under the prcponderance of ev-
idcnce that he WAS mistaken, subsidized.
Dissatisfaction became infectious; a
number of those heretofore promi-
ncntly identified with the organization,
are Disguised with the actions OF the
committee, and think that they would
rather stand a little corruption than
being mixed up with the new party.
Tie business before the committee was
not conciuied; the unexpected bolt of
some of the leaders in;eriered with the
routine, and after some discussion on
the aspect Of affairs, Il "recus>ion of
their many wrongs and the '.cilSsin'"
of everybody in general, the meeting
adjourned. Notwithstanding the
bolt the remaining members intend
to hold another meeting and continue
