Steady!

One of the results of the outbreak of ma chine politics under the opposing war crles of
 "Fraud" and Revolution" is the reappear- ance of the "old war horse." on the political stage. In Iowa it is said that Harlan is ma neuvering for seat in the next House, while
 Subsidy Pom." is laying pipe for the next
 U. s. Senatorial nomination in Kansas. In the East, Don Cameron will claim the Inde- pendent vote of Pennsylvania, and Conkling that of New York, as the only way of check ing the revolutionary Democracy which is threatening to oust Hayes! Undoubtedly the best men of both parties, and the men who forswear allegiance to either party, dislike the Blair-Potter move on the political chess board. People at large consider the Presidential ques- tion settled. They are satisfied with an hon. est President and a liberal Administration. They do not wish to see them disturbed, and the country disquieted with threats of a re- newal of the anarchy which characterized the short session of Congress which ended on March 4th 1877
 Even if Hayes position were seriously threatened, however, r,-which we do not be- lieve it to- be-we doubt whether ''war horses" like Harlan and Pomoroy, and ''bosses' like Cameron and Conkling, would be likely to give him much aid. The experience of the past year does not lead US to expect it. It is the duty of the real Independent to pay little attention to all this clamor of an opening campaign. Let them lose no votes by helping noisy Republicans to rebuke "Reyolution," or sly Democrats to rebuke Fraud" The way to bring. the politician to terms is to scrutin- iZe the man he nominates as sharply as time and opportunity will permit. If both parties nominate men who are neither buyers of votes nor peddlers of patronage, the Independent vote will be naturally divided between them. If one candidate has a clean record and his opponent has not let the Independents con centrate on the honest candidate, regard less of old party affiliations. If we are offered buyers of votes and peddlers of patronage on both sides, let us vote for neither.

How to Meet It |?

If the object of the Potter investigation was to attack MT. Hayes title to the presidency, it will certainly prove a failure. The strong ter Gen. Key do not over state the feeling of a large majority of the American people regard | ing such an attempt. Mir Potter disclaims | any such intention, and we are inclined to be- lieve in his disclaimer
 What the Democracy really mean, is to throw strong back-light on the rascalities of Republican rule at the South especially on those connected with the electoral count in Florida and Louisiana. In anticipation of the old Song of the Bloody Shirt, next fall, they propose to show that there is a good deal more dirt than blood on the typical garment. All the new evidence they yet offer is the confes- sion of the Carpet Bagger. That political person naturally hates the President who righteously squelched him, and his quickened conscience is working powerfully in the inter- est of the Democracy. We never believed him he when lied on the Republican side, and, now that he is retracting hisoldlies and telling new ones, we believe him aslittle as ever. We trust him, only which he tells us what scoun- drel he himself has been, and now is. Will honest Republicans continue to complain of Hayes for going back on" the Southern Republican after the perusal of this precious collection of autobiographical matter now be- ing edited by Potter & Co?
 Incidentally the Democracy mean to dispar- age Sherman, Matthews, and the rest of the "visiting statesmen" by showing the kind of pitch they handled while the electoral count was making in Louisiana. The Apostle Paul probably disliked to be reminded of the fact that he held certain peoples garments while they stoned Stephen. So Messrs. Sherman and Matthews are nettled when they are shown to have looked on approvingly while Wells and. Cassanave, and the rest counted in Hayes. Probably the picture Mr. Sherman drew of those patriots on his return seems to him lit- tie high colored today. Still, no one expects evidence that will convict Mir. Sherman of di- rect cemplcity with fraud--unless it be some newly discovered evidence of Carpet Baggers, such as would not now hang dog, North or South. How then is Republicansm, North, to meet these disclosures of the rottenness of Re- publicanisnl, South? Certainly not by denying it norby denouncingan Administration for not fostering rascalty in the interest of partisan ship! The Southern policy of the President is polite as well as honest. Whatever doubts there may be in the mind of the politician whether honesty is the best policy in his bus- ness, as general rule, there can be no reason | able doubt in this particular case. The Car pet -Bagger is such monumental fraud" that no party can sustain him and live So long as Northern Republicanism fails frankly to adoptthe sound policy Mir. Hayes has inaugural ed, and to cut itself completely loose from the dead body of Southern Republicanism from its Andersons, Packards, Kelloggs and Patter- sons-it will continue to stink in the nestrils of an intelligent people.

England and Russia have agreed that Bulgaria shall be divided into tive provinces, one north and the other south of the Balkans, and Turkey is to have no control of either.
