AlCGnEGols, H., June 2l.-That portion OF
tho Republicans who hayo been contclnptll-
onsly termed by tho machine men OF tho
party rs thu "lndcpendent vote" arc getting
to bo rather numerous and causing any
amount Of trouble to tho party Bosses. Four
years ago ut Cincinnati they carried OH the
prize iii the nomination Of Gen. Hayes. Tho
Chicago Convention which nominated Con.
Garfield Is another Instance OF n triumph of
these independent fellows. In both OF tho
instances cited above tho Independents went
into the Conventions apparently l,opelesly in
the minority, but they came In OIL tho 1lome-
stretch In 4 very crcditnblo manner with all
rights reserved. Particularly Is this tho case
In tho Chicago Convention, where tho intlc-
pentlcnts faced the entlro strength of tho ol,-
position under the lead Of men who were not
sccolld-rnte in political warfare. The con-
test was loNgcr anu more Intense, but the re-
suit was the same ntll oven more satisfactory
! than four years ago. III tho selection Of
Gen. Garfield the people Of tllis entire Union
aTo to be congratulated, md tho Republican
party III particular. Tho nomination Is In
every way n fortunate olie for the country rs
! we'll ns tho Republican party. IN this sclec-
| tlon a terrible and threatening evil was

as President for third term would do any
thing particularly wrong, but tho precedent
| established by Ills election would have been
frnNght will, untold dangers to future gen.
