The 'Independent" Vote of the North-lt
Represents the Balance of Power
What the Democratic Party Must Do
to Secure It-A Negro Halter Can Not
be Elected President of the Unitod
states-Governor Tilden, the Negro
and the Confederates, etc.
NEW YORK, October z, 1875.
There exist in every State and county
and town at the North independent voters.
WHO, on the one hand, will never support an
ola line Democrat for President, nor will
they, on the other, vote to continue in pow
er those who, by official corruption, have
brought the name of Republcanism into
disrepute, if it is possible to avoid it. This
large body of Independent voters forms
what is called the 'foating" vote of the
country. Such vote is unknown to
Southern politics. but forms most impor-
tant element of politics at the North To
control this floating or independent vote is
now the one policy of both parties, Repub-
| licap and Democratic alike.
The effect of this independent vote on
| the two rival parties is quite different. The
| Republicans can with perfect safety and
entire consistency recogulze the demand
which the independent" sentiment of the
country makes upon them. Indeed, the
| party in New York, as we'll as in Ohio and
| Pennsylvania, have done this in regard to
| the question of third presidential term.
1t is well known that the President is only
anxious for the safety of the country, and
that there are six or eight men of the party
whose nomination would please the "inde-
pendent" voters of the country, and that
| these gentlemen are personal and political
friends of the President. Consequently we
are absolutely safe on this question and can
arrange our presidential ticket accordingly.
Any good staunch Republican will suit the
party, and we have number of such to
select from. But the case is quite different
with the Democracy. If the Democratic
leaders select man for President with
reference to this floating Independent vote,
they will either be compelled to take War
Democrat who was an original Abolitionist,
or they will be forced to select their man
l
from the ranks of the Liberal Republicans.
