No Independent Party Here.

Nothing more clearly illustrates
how easily parties over reach them
selves in attempting to secure the
privileges they condemn in others,
than the efforts of the so called Inde-
pendents to force everybody to vote
for their candidates while they in
weigh from the stump against party
rule and the party whip. In truth
there never existed party in which
the party whip was used more vigor-
ously and more numerically than in
the Independent party of California.
At their primaries in this city the In
dependents used on all who would
stand it a pledge of the strongest IRON
clad proclivities and their candidates
are now patroling the county begging
and scolding voters into the ranks.
In San Francisco the Bulletin, the In
dependent state organ, is laying the
lash on the backs of the refractory
with the earnestness of slave driver.
