The Industrial Age, an organ of the rag
baby portion of the Independent party,
speaking Of the Independent party and its
state ticket and platform, says:
"THE Rock ISLAND ARGUS says it has
no fault to find with the platform or the
candidates. 1t proposes TO let the matter
settle down little, but thinks it can sup
port both platform and candidates"
The ARGUS said nothing of the sort,
and if the Age had desired to be fair
towards us it would, instead of misrepre-
senting us, hsve quoted our words and
left its readers to form their own conclu-
sions. Here is what we did say:
with perhaps one or two exceptions
we do not now, from the imperfect report
before us, perceive why the Democratic
state convention cannot indorse the plat
form, AS to the ticket, those Of the
"men that we have a knowledge of we
could support, and we hope they are all
such men as can be Endorsed by the Dem
''ocrats. A few weeks discussion will
tell"
Our chief objection is to the rag baby
portion of the platform and in this we
represent the Independent party Of this
county--not a man of whom, to our
knowledge, is in favor of the imitation and
reputation ideas of s. M. Smith 4
Co. The people of this county, without
regard to party, are in favor of return te
specie payment. We admit, however, the
wide division of sentiment throughout the
country, and in all parties, on the question
The Independent party is not united OF
the question. Good judges, who were
present at the Decatur convention, say
that the financial resolution does not rep
resent the solid and sound sentiment O
the party, or even of those present. Ant
the Republicans are forced to admit tina
they are perplexed by the money question
no less than are the Democrats. Will
two state conventions held the same day
that of Wisconsin and that OF Indiana, de
claring, the former for hard money AM
Blaine. and the latter for soft money an,
Morton, it is evident that there is n
harmony among them. Indeed the DANCE
of a quarrel is SO threatening that tn
Chicago Tribune advises the state CONVEX
tons to let the money question alone an
trust to the national convention to dein
the party's status on it. TT looks Xix
folly" says the Tribune, ''for state cor
vention to proclaim its policy in advanc
when, in a few months or weeks, the ma
tional convention may provide differer

Bab's Serenade.

The st. Louis Republican, the day after
Babcock's acquittal, gave an account of the
serenade to that individual, in which it
said:
The rotunda of the Lindell hotel was
more crowded than usual last evening, it
having been noised abroad that there
would be serenade. The Arsenal band
had been ordered up and Messrs. Mckee
Mcguire had secured the services Of Her
wigs band. Gen. Sherman and his staff,
the latter in uniform, arrived shortly be-
fore o'clock, and many prominent Re
publicans were fitting in and out. p"
''The Arsenal band had been ordered
up" Who by? Babcock of course. And
thus the people of the United States were
made to contribute to the glori6cation of o
man whom two thirds of the people, to day,
believe guilty. 1t seems that the serenade
was managed by the convicts, Mckee and
Mcguire, and that Gen. Sherman played
second fiddle to the conyicts. Gen. Sher
man could have been in better business
What Gen. Sherman may do as an in
dlVlduai Is matter OF no Particular lni'
portance. But Sherman as General Of ths
American army is a representative o
America, and when he and his staff in thu
uniform of the United States join in witt
such a crowd and on such an occasion, j
is disgrace to Gen. Sherman, and an &C
offensive to great majority of the Ameri
can people. The Republican says:
THE crowd was not very enthusiastic
and except in cases where good words wer,
spoken of Missouri and her citizens, tn,
applause was confined to but small mum
Der. At the conclusion of Judge Krum'
speech the band struck up, and the CARR
age drove of, passing around the block t,
the ladies' entrance, where its occupant
alighted and assembled to Gen. Babcock
room. There Gen. Sherman and stat
were in waiting, and the evenings pro
gramme closed with little sociable."

From he Cincinnatl commercial.

We are not of opinion that the acquittal
of Babcock is due to his established inno-
cence or to the lack of testimony against
him. 1t is due, first, to the charge of the
judge, who was at pains to point out
Hogue as the man who gave the ST. Louis
ring the information that they obtained for
their purposes-to emphasized the great eau
ton with which the testimony of conspir-
ators should be received--to speak of the
Impressive array of witnesses" who had
testified to Babcock's good character, and
the importance of such testimony-and
especially to declare, with an evident appli-
cation TO the case in hand, that "charac-
ter might outweight evidence that other
wise would be conclusive" This was
about as rear as judge could come to in
structing the jury to bring in verdict of
not guilty. M However, the most
potent influence in the acquittal of Bah
cock, and the one that. combined with the
instructions of the judge, brought about
the result, was the impression made by
Judge Porter, that the party on trial was
the president himself The Judge knew
that there is deep in the heart of every
citizen the feeling that the personal honor
of the president of the United States is, as
Billy Mckee would say, "a sacred thing;
that the Office of the president must be re.
spected; that any stain upon the office
would blemish the character of the coun'
try, and be reflected upon all citizens.
Now Billy Mckee must have a new

what They Think of the Verdict.

WASHINGTON. d. G. Feb. 24.-The
news of Gen. Babcocks acquittal was
received from st. Louis this evening with
no little surprise, and in the absence of a
full knowledge of the chargs Of the court,
is believed to have been brought about on
technical questions of law rather than on
questions Of fact. The most that the
sanguine friends of Babcock hoped for to-
day was disagreement of the jury. To
them the news of an acquittial is quite as
much matter of surprise as the news of
conviction would have been. o
ST.. JOSEPH. Mo- Feb. 24.-The .eport
of the acquittial of Gen. Babcock was
received here to-day with universal sur
prise. The charge to the jury may throw
some light on the subject. The very least
that was expected was hung jury. The
matter had been universally discussed,
and the opinion expressed, so far as your
correspondent heard, by men of all parties,
without one single exception, was that
Babcock was guilty. The finding Of the
jury will not, of course, change this verdict
of the people. The deepest interest is
felt here now as to what may follow in the
ring prosecutions.

From the cincinnaa Enquirer.

The verdict will give great satisfaction
in some quarters, while in others-espec-
tally in and around the United States
treasury Department. will create gloom.
1t can not be denied that Gen. Babcock
was open to suspicion. Some very strange
kilograms passed between him and wicked
men 10 St. Louis, but so far as the legal
guilt of the accused is concerned, the pros
ecution utterly failed to establish it. The
evidence was chiefly circumstantial
