column. Independent Republicans who
have the courage to break their party
lines should be assured that 10 Demo-
cratic neglect will allow the election OF
the bosses candidate against whom they
revolt.
REMEMBER, Baily has no civil rec
ord except blind devotion to the Grant
column ut Chicago
FREEMEN to the front tomorrow beat
back the bosses.
If the Fourth ward, Philadelphia, shows
up unduly for Baily on Tuesday, Bill Nc
Mullin will never again SEQ the inside of a
Democratic state convention. Make a
note of it.
PENDING Baily's nomination the Nerth
american SAID: eff Mr.. Baily is to be
pressed under the auspices which are al
legged, it does not require the vision Of a
seer to predict his defeat BaiIy was
pressed all the same, and to- o-morrOw will
prove that the NORTH American was right.
INDEPENDENT Republicans should re-
member that according to the Philadelphia
Press, the leading Republican organ in this
state, the Republican nominee, General
Baily, has no civil record except "his
blind devotion to the Grant column at Chi
| cago."
THE banquet of the New York Chamber
of Commerce to the French and German
guests came off on Saturday night, was a
success and was duly reported, notwith-
standing the gloomy representations aris-
ing from the fact that the newspaper men
were invited to hear the speeches but not
| to taste the viands.
TIE lot of right minded Republican
paper is not q happy one. In 4 single is
sue the Philadelphia Ereaiag Telegraph
has to take issue with its PARTY friends on
the projected admission of Dakota a; On
Conkling's attitude toward the New York
campaign Oh the society Arthur keeps ;
on the proposition to make Gen. Heale
secretary of the navy and on Commits
sioncr Dudlcy's demand for 500, 0Oo, 900

THE Philadelphia judges and the law
yers for Megargee's estate against tho
New York mutual life insurance COMPANY
had quite wrangle OH Saturday over the
move to try the case in some other count,
as all the city judges except Ludlow have
passed upon some phase Of it, adversely to
the claimant, only to be set right by the
supreme court. Quite naturally the plain
tiff seeks another forum, but the court
took the motion as reflection OH its in
tegrity and made Dan Dougherty sit down
when he began, God forbid that should
say anything from which the inference
might bc drawn that | considered this
court corrupt" The court seemed to be
touchy and Doughcrty refused to go on.
TWELVE states hold elections tn-inOr-
w-Massachusetts, Minnesota, Misss-
sippi, Virginia and Wisconsin, for gov
ernor and other state officers New York,
for all the state officers below the gov
ernor and his substitute; Maryland: for a
comptroller, and this state for state
| treasurer Nebraska, for a group Of ju
dicial officers. Each Of these states, cx-
cept Pennsylvania elects all Or a part of
its state Legislature, as do Connecticut
and New Jersey, and in Colorado at the
county elections held tomorrow, :: state
issue, the location of a new capital, is
voted upon. New York, Pennsylvania
and Virginia absorb the interest, and the
Democrats have good chance for all of
them.
JUDGE BLACKS rejoindcr to Ingelsoll's $
last attack is published on our first page
to-day, taken from the Philadelphia Press.
In sending it to- that paper the author in
weighs very bitterly against the publisher
of the North american Reriem, in which
publication the first papers of this contro
versy were published. He explained
that he was importuned to answer the
bold infidel, against his own Judgment,
by the Reoiew editor, who "was absurd
enough to insist that if did not answer
Mr.. Ingersoll he could not be answered at
all, and it would thence he inferred that
the Christian system was false" From
the beginning it was distinctly understood
that my defense was to be printed in the
same number with the accusation. The
editor was Cor at least pretended to be) a
firm believer in Christianity, and he would
not for the world publish Ingersolrs pois-
onous stuff without putting the antidote
right beside ito do so would not
only afflict his conscience, but greatly in
jure the character of his Reoie,c. "
To the judges surprise, however, Inger-
soils last fifty page article was sent to him
with the information that no contradic-
ton, correction Or criticism Of mine or
anybody e!se would be allowed this new
effnsion of filth. 1t was to be printed i'm
mediately, and would occupy SO much
space that none could be spared for the
