An Independent Candidate in the First
District.

The Republican wing Of the Independents
In the First District have acted on our
suggestions. and nominated Mr.. JAMES
OTIS. of Bcllport. for Congress. Mr.
OTIs has not yet brought into
play his great hereditary oratorical
powers. but we may expect to hear from
him ON the stump-stumps are plenty in his
neighborhood where the fire has run over
the woods soon.
The golden rod Is very abundant about
Bellport, and is now in perfection, or little
past We should not be surprised TO see
Slr. OrIs beat his opponent with golden
rod.
Really. there would not be much risk in
trying Mr.. OTIS for one term. II he did not
do much good he could not do much hurt.
He is very clever man himself, and has u
clever brother, and n very clever neighbor
named LYMAN, who raises n great many
Berkshire pigs ana sells them at ruinous
prices.
Very little business is done at Bcllport,
and Mr.. OTIS is not needed there nearly as
much as he is in Congress His brother
and Mr.. LYMAN can attend to the
home business and the Berkshires while
the nation, where there ought to bc at least
one descendant OF the great HARRISON GRAY
Otis.
1t ought not to be set down as anything
against Mr.. OTIS that tho Hon. l.. BRAD
FORD PRINCE made 4 speech in his favor
II is to be hoped that the Hon HENRY A.
REEVE, JOHN SMITH. and other Suffolk Dem
ocrats who We're mad enough TO bolt the
COVERT Convention will continue mad
enough to vote for Mr.. Otis.
The great JAMES OTIS of the Revolution
expressed wish that when he died he
might die suddenly, and he would prefer
death by stroke OF lightning. One
day a little cloud cane up. Only
one bolt descended from it. Mr.. OTIS was
standing in the front doorway Of his house
the door being open This single thunder
bolt struck him and killed. him.
The present Mr.. JAMES OTIS should feel
encouraged. There is apparently a much
greater chance Of his being elected To Con-
gress than there was OF his great name
sake. when he expressed the wish, being
struck by lightning

The King and Clown met together with
the Kings Council last evening and put in
nomination for Mayor the most Oh
jcctionable man included in the list
of five from which the Clown recently
offered 10 the frcemcn Of New York per-
mission to choose their Mayor. Mir
SCHELL Is probably the only real Indian
among tho sachcms Of the Tammany So
cietv. He was found here by the first
whites who settled ON the Island Of Manhat-
tan. and at that early period was seeking
an office.
Tho King and Clown have made tho issue
before the people very square and direct
They have presented ticket which has no.
thing to recommend 1t except that IL is the
wish Of tho King and the Clown IL should be
elected. The nominations are an open def
ance Of the pcoplc-a direct challenge to
measure strength with the King and Clown
OF course, IL the people care anything
about self-govcrnmcnt this ticket will be-
defeated. Who with one drop OF American
blood in his veins-who with one spark of
tho spirit of our fathers wants King-a
King In name or King in fact-to rule
over us?
Self-respecting, independent frecmen Of
New iork We coniurc you, in the name of
precious and priceless liberty, to stamp out,
by your unpurchasable suffrages, every
vestige OF despotic power in this city!
You have to choose between Liberty and
Equality on the one hand and an actual
King on the other. Which are you for
Despotism or Liberty?
