WHERE THE INDEPENDENTS" ARE
GOING.

WHERE THE INDEPENDENTS" ARE
GOING.
From the New York World
AS soon as Governor Hayes was NOM
mated at Cincinnati, the republican
newspapers began to announce the re-
turn of the errant liberals and indepen-
dents to the republican fold. They
claimed it as the chief advantage OF
Governor Hayes nomination that ii
united the party" This string has
been played upon pretty continuously
ever since. Only the other day the
Herald (Which, under the guise of lnde-
pendence, is, as usual, bitterly hostile to
the democracy undertook to play upon
it, 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 reason, about the effect which the
pendents must have on that large class
of voters hitherto acting with the re-
publican party who are disgusted with
its present condition and policy, and are
preparing to look for reform outside of
it. They carefully abstain from publish
over to the democratic reform cause. 1t
is high time to bring up all this twad-
ling with a 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. 1t is in the nature of things that
they should carry with them the bulk of
the honest and intelligent republican
voters For the information of the anti
Tilden New York Herald and others
among our contemporaries which, if not
able to collect the news themselves, may
be willing to learn it, we print the fol-
lowing list of Tilden men, which COM
prises the names not only of those who
