 having the Administration on their side, have fought the Stalwarts within the Republican organization and have waited for 1880 to get another verdict of the people in their favor. Moreover, Republicanism has been more than usually fortunate in the character of the op- position it has had to meet. The cry of Re publican fraud has been more than met by cipher disclosures in New York and the Flu sion criminality in Maine At the very mo ment that Republcanism is freed from it's Southern Carpet Baggers, Democracy gets an additional load of Southern brigadiers; !" while internal dissensions rend the party asun der in the very State upon which the election of next November seems likely to hinge,
 Such being the case, what is the duty of the Independent in case of Grants nomination i? Must he accept third term, with all it's re sultant dangers to popular government anoth CT era of personal government, with it's Belknaps, it's Shepherds, its Babcocks? Anoth- or era of civil service debasement, and a re- packing of the New York Custom House with the tools of Roscoe Conkling? Gen. Grant seems of late but little afraid of the ''Southern Brigadier," and in that he has our sympathy !; but what need, then, of the strong man :? Our theory of the duty of the Independent is that 1t is bls special mission to bolt bad non,i nations. If the Republican machine at Chica. go sees fit to nominate Grant, the Republican Independent is justified in staying quietly at home on election day. If the Democratic ma. chine at Cincinnati nominates Tildcn, the DemocFatle Independent should do likewise. Ihis may not be popular doctrine with poli- tcians, but it is the only way in which they
