Ahead OF his Party.
From the Chicago Tribune.l
Mr.. Horace Maynard has ventured
something upon the dark and tempest
uous sea n Independent politics, with which
be has heretofore useu scarcely acquainted,
by approving and promising 70 support un-
eQuivOcaly the new civil rights bill The
convention which nominated him avoided
this issue Be Is, therefore, IN advance OF his
party, and may expect 10 be accused OF
nv i aEsngfatas. " q rgiOlga
that he has come down from Jne fence; the
event VIII SHOW whether he has come down
on the wrong side for political prefermenL
The suspicion in Washington Is that he does
not expect 70 be elected governor, but is max
ng bold attempt upon the Republican noml- I
nation for sident in 1910. AZ Is ahsured,
lf course. 10 suppose that Mr. Maynard has
been betrayed by honest convictions into
political suicide.
