INDEPENDENTS.

The experience of the tad-pole ell
ement, in this country, has heretofore
been rather discouraging-having met
with defeat every time, and it is most
too late now for them to ever expect to
gain favor with the people. limited
we stand" and impressing this truth
upon the mind of every true democrat is
now very essential. Anything that
tends to disorganize the party to create
dissension and engender strife. should
not be countenanced, and the less coun-
tenance an Independent receives, the
sooner will these departures" cease.
The gentlemen running as Independents
are men whom we would have loved to
support had they received the nomina-
ton, but as it is they had better pull
OFF, before it is everlastingly too late
for by so doing they will retrieve their
falling position.

was heard issuing from Ept's breast and

having broken his neck, but merely for

LAFAYETTE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.
Democracy in Lafayette county ap-
pears to be sadly disintegrated andpros-
poets, at present, we are sorrow to say,
are not at all ilatterlng for an early ad-
.justment of the differences. 1t appears
that the nominating convention was not
conducted in Il manner to suit certain
gentlemen of prominence as candidates,
and after the nominations had been
made and ratified, they violated their
pledged words to abide the decision of
the convention, by boiling and coming
out us independent candidates, relying
principally, or we might say wholly,up
on the white radicals and negroes, and
few disaflected democrats, for their
election We can hardly abstain from
the opinion that before the election the
democrats who have, heretofore, stood
up like men and battlcd for their party
will desert the cause they have so un-
graciously volunteered to advocate, and
return to their places in the ranks OF
the party whose destiny it is to rescue
the people from Z; calling vassalage and
the country from bankruptcy, ruin and
perennial internal strife, violence and
bloodshed. Unity is strength; and if Il
political party is once divided into clans
its ruin is sure and inevitable. We
caution the dissenters in Lafayette to
ponder well the course they are pursu-
ing. 1t has shocking appearance to
those residing abroad, who do not thor
oughly understand the difficulty. and for
reasons of policy, all efforts should ut
once and forever be discontinued. even
ii there be Il glimmering hope of sue
cess. Who does not regard The election
of an Independent candidate, in IL strong
democratic county, rs stunning blow
to democracy? Do not patriots revile
| and shun him who deserts the ranks on
the eve of battle, when the smoke of the
enemy's guns is blackening the bright
horizon; when every mans arm IS need
ed to meet the shock of the deadly
charge, and every voice to cheer on to
glorious victory? Democrats of Lafay-
ette, beware! The eyes OF the whole
state rest upon you. Do not disgrace
yourselves.

LAFAYETTE COUNTY POLITICS..
The Lexington Intelligencer is having
it rough and tumble with the ''lnde
pendents" or boilers ticket in Lafayette
county: The Register, the radical paper;
champions the independent ticket. and
the fight is narrowed down to one OF
principle on the part of the Intelligencer,
which is a straightout democratic, paper
The Register having boasted of being
the '.organ" of the democrats, the Intel
ligencer retorts rs follows:
The Register as the organ of the
democrats Of this county is good joke.
All democrats who choose the Register
rs their organ are much more in place
il; the republican party than elsewhere,
and there is where they will eventually

Probable Erect Of General Harrison's
Candidacy.

From the New York World, August l0.]
Governor Hendricks spent yesterday
morning very quietly in his room at the
New York Hotel. and in the afternoon,
with Mrs. Hendricks, drove through the
park. After dinner he received num-
Der of visitors, including Colonel VIM.
Ii. Pelton, Abram S. Hewitt, Mr.. and
Mrs. DeSilva and others. At s o'clock
his party went to the Fifth Avenue Thea
ter to see "Dundreary" for the first
time. Gov. Hendricks will remain In the
city unit, tomorrow afternoon, when he
will 60 to Philadelphia, and, after re-
naming in that city for a day or two.
will proceed Immediately to indianapolis
where executive duties demand his at
tentiOn. lie is in excellent health and
spirits, and Is confident as to the success
full issue of the campaign, although he de-
clines to talk at length upon politic'l
affairs in his own state further than to
express his conviction that Mr.. Williams,
the Democratic candidate for governor,
will be elected.
Mr.. WIN. Ii. Henderson, an intimate
friend and relation of Governor Hen
bricks, and prominent citizen of In
dianapolis, is with him at the hotel and
accompanied him on his homeward Jour
ney. In conversation with World re-
porter, yesterday, Mr.. Henderson said
that the selection of General Harrison a.
Republican candidate tor Governor Of
Indiana, vice Orth. withdrawn, would
make but little difference as affecting
Democratic prospects in Indiana.
General Harrison. he said, while
a man of thoroughly upright character
and unimpeachable record, is not at all
popular with the people. His manner is
cold and forbildng, aud he is utterly
destitute of any OF those magnetic quail
tiles which either inspire enthusiasm in
a political canvass or attract to the
candidate the warm support OF friends.
On the contrary, Mr.. Williams-Bl
jeans Williams is plain unaffected man,
but all the country districts rally to his
support with very unusual enthusiasm.
He will obtain the almost
unanimous support OF the In
diana Grsngers-a very pow
erful organization in the state--and will
thus secure several thousand Republican
votes He has been in public lite as well
AS conducting his farm with great sue
cess for a number Of years, and his
strongly marked and honest, albeit
homcly face, is very familiar to the peo-
pie throughout the state. There is not a
flaw IN his record, and he commands at
once the respect and esteem of all who
know him. He will be elected by
majority of probably ten thousand in Dc
tober, and the state will go by an even
larger majority for Tilden and Hendricks
Ia the following month.
