Where the Independents" are Going.
As soon as Governor Hayes was nomi-
mated at Cincinnati, the Republican news
papers began 10 announce the return of
the Grant Liberals and Independents to
the Republican fold. They claimed it as
the chief advantage of Governor Hayes's
nomination that il "united the party"
This string has been played upon pretty
continuously eyer since. Only the other
day the Herald (which, under the guise of
independence, is, as usual, bitterly hostile
to the Democracy undertook to play upon
il, and could recall the names of only one
or two Liberals who had pronounced for
Governor Tilden. The Republican organs
are extremely nervous, and with good rea
son, about the effect which the example of
prominent Liberals and Independents
must have on that large class OF voters,
hitherto acting with the Republican party,
who are disguised with.its present condi-
ton and policy, and are preparing to look
for reform outside of it. They carefully
abstain from publishing the names Of those
who have gone over to the Democratic-re-
form cause. 1t is high time to bring up
all this twaddhng with round turn. The
fact is that not only are a large majority of
the prominent Liberals and Independents
of the country now supporting Tilden, but
also that absolutely all of the wisest and
most influential of the number are doing
So Ii IS 10 the nature OF things that they
should carry with them the bulk of the
honest and intelligent Republican voters.

New York Herald and others among our
