The Independents Don't En-
thuSe.
From the Westliche Post

The abominable way they have
here In this country of running ma
tional political conventions almost
precludes the possibility of the non,i-
nation Of man of prominence and
of universally recognized ability for
tile presidency. For years this fact
has been patent to every one, and
since the Cincinnati Convention yes
tcrday perhaps more so than ever be-
fore. OF all the candidates before
that convention, tho one least known,
Hayes, of Ohio, bore off the victory.
If the man was ever heard of at all
outside of his own State, it is due to
the remarkable campaign in Ohio last
fal', in which, he. rs tho hard ,noney
candidate, was, byt the help of the
Independents, elected Governor over
the inaationist, Bill Allen. Hayes
letter of acceptance has not been
published yet, and until tbs, we don't
care about taking decided stand
either for or against him. We must
first know the position he expects to
take on the leading questions of the
day. If he declares himself in clear,
unmistakable language against the
corruption in the civil service depart
ment of the nation and for tllorongl,
reform there, then we might in some
measure reconcile ourselves with his
nomination, and particularly in case
the Democrats do no better, and tue
Independents should place no candi.
date of their own in the field. That
the Republican National Convention
has not come up to the demands of
the times, must be admitted by every
one, but the nomination could have
been worse, and that is something.
1t is evident that we are not to have
2 Centennial campaign after our own
hearts. Mr.. Hayes is neither a man
of much talent nor of force and char
acter. He was not born to be a lead.
er, but, on the other hand, he re-
qnires one. and were he to fall into
bad hands, he would probably be
misled. A man of such weak ma
ture is hardly the man for the great
need of the times. They might have
done worse at Cincinnati, but, too,
they might have done much better,
and we're afraid they've let u good
chance slip.-Cdrt Shurt:'s.

War Prejudice.
From the Baltimore Sun.

lONi li1C 1IulOliiINkC yum
The Philadelphia Enquirer, a Re-
publican journal, says that "tlle
newspapers of the country-those of
the North, East and West, as we'll as
those Of the South-very generally
and very properly denouncc the MIA.
i8F}iitt S Ct MI. RotIeriaersi lt efuf fs OF tle
battle of Gettysburg to occupy a
place in the American department."
The Enquirer gives two excellent rea-
sons why it should not be there-onc,
its want of merit as a work of art,
and the other, its otfensiveness to
thousands of guests who have been
invited to join the Exposition.
1t seems that Rothermel was COM
missioned by u committee OF the
Pennsylvania Legislature to paint a
commemorative picture of the battle
of Gettysburg, paying him q price
far beyond any that lie ever before or
since received for his work, or more
than his work, i'll this instance, was
worth. Indeed, the Inquirer states,
after it was painted and paid for, the
Legislature partially declined to re-
ceive it, an1it never had a place al.
lotted to 1t by the Commonwealth
The artist seems to have the Thought
that lie could best accomplish his mis:
sion by making his picture express
nothing hut sheer brute force, and by
representing those who fought on the
losing side rs men Of the most brutal
and rufiiauly type, and all those Of
the winning side as of the noblest and
fmost heroic type. The Inquirer con
siders its presence in the Art Gallery
as ian insult to all our Southern
guests and that, in addition to it
glowing and monstrons defeats as
work of art, "the Art Committee pub
licly declared that no picture illus
trative of scenes in the rebellion
would be accepted for exhibition.
So far, however, as the Southern visi
tors are concerned, we hardly suppose
them to be so thin skinned as to b'
disturbed about the picture on othe
grounds than that it is 4 poor work 0
ant. fit were really a good picture
VIC have no doubt they would be in
terested in its study.

In his speech on Hayes before the
late Republican Convention, ex Gov
ernor Noyes said he had defeated sue
cessfully Thurman, Pendleton and
William Allen. This was true, but
not 4 good point. If any one chooses
to investigate he will find that Hayes
is not strong candidate even in his
own State, and each time that he
has been elected it has been by the
"skin of his teeth" He first ran for
governor against Judge Thurman in
1867. The year before the Repnbli.
can candidate for Secretary Of State
had been elected by a majority Of 49,
696. Hayes received about thirteen
thousand votes less, and his majority
was only 1888 while the excellent
leadership of Thurman gave the De.
mocrats the legislature for the first
time in ten years. The next year the
Republicans carried the State by H.
asa, and Grant had mojority Of Al,
400. Tho year after, 1869. Hayes
was again a candidate for Governor
when the Republican majority drop
ped to 7,5l7, bnt the succeeding year
when Hayes was not on the ticket, il
run up to 1881. Last year when
| Hayes was ON tho ticket against Al
len he got through with the meagrt
majority Of s, 544 in an aggregate vote
of 592, 653> During fifteen campaigns
in Ohio, when Hayes has not been OF
the ticket, the average Republican
majority has been q, 9l5 in the tl're'
elections when his name headed tn'
ticket the majority has averaged y, Sa
5,As. His majorities have been q, )
567 less than the average of his party
There is nothing about such a can a,
didate hard to beat. Under tn
changed condition Of things it Is no
improbable he may be beaten IN n''
own Republican State.

How to Secure Good Nominees.
From the New Orleans Democrat,

Nearly every man in the State ex-
presses the opinion that the material
interests of the State imperatively dc.
maud a reform administration. la
borers, mechanics, merchants, bank
ers and planters affirm their earnest
desire for the election in November
next of honest and capable men, and
establishment of legitimate and
economical government 10 Louisiana.
This desire is proper and common
dable, but it does not seem to us that
all classes are pursuing that end by
wise and practicable means. The
time is approaching when the prima-
ry conventions are to be held, and it
is the primary conventions which will
most largely influence. the nnmiHa-
tons. Yet we do not find q disposi-
ton among certain classes of our PEG.
pie to enter cordially with their fell
low citizens into these important pri-
maries. On the cantrary, we find
men talking down the conventions
and those who take sufficient interest
in the welfare of the State and the
success of the Democratic party to
organize and attend them. We hear
the same old pulaver about politi:
clans, ward bummers and stocked
meetings, and notice the same dis
position to stand aside and let the
politicians and ward bnmmers stock
and control the conventions. If it be
indeed true that the class of men re-
ferred to control our politics, it is
more solcmnly the duty Of nerclvnts
and others industrial classes to take
part in our public affairs to prevent
things from going to the bad. 1t is
not creditable to men, however rich
they may be or however high their
social standing, to affirm that the
politics of the State are being con-
trolled by impure men, and at the
same time to refuse to aid good men
in reforming the party. We live in
a free country were all men are vo.
tiers, and the men who attend meet
ings and conventions, and do the par
ty work, are apt to make nominations
to suit themselves aud those who
decline a just aud honorable share of
the labor and responsibility, have no
right to censure. We do not presume
that there is any class in the COM
munity so week and foolish as to sup
pose that the working men are going
to concede them the privilege of
holding private meetings in back
parlors and private countiDg~rooms
to dictate the nominees for whom we
are all to walk up and vote. All this
twaddle about politicians and bum
mers is wrong, because 1t is idle ; it
will reform no evil and it will &C
con,plish no result. If any man is
sufficiently interested in the welfare
form in is government, LET him act the
part of free man assume to dis.
charge his duties as a citizen, and
aid lis fellow. citizens in organizing
the primaries, and thus secure con-
yention which will nominate hon
est aud capable men to govern the
State.
When all classes Of our community
shall, adopt this advice a better era
will dawn upon us; our people Will
understand each other better bnm-
mers will he at a discount, aud the
honest working men will cooperate
with the honest mercantile and 9th
er classes to nominate and elect to
position our best, trucst and abiest
men.

There is a cheering sign noticeable
with ns in this "wav down South.
land, in connection with the nominal
ton of Hayes, which is, the entire
failure of the radicals to enthuse.
Such a nomination falls like a wet
blanket on the carpet. Dagger and
scalawag; a doubt IS raised in his
mind if lie will be permitted to steal;
the will aud the way they still have,
and consequently they have been
dumb and calm since the Cincinnati
Convention.
