THE editor Of the Neu Era, who was
there and ought to know, positively denies
that Congressman Bayne said at the lnde
pendent conference in Philadelphia !;
tThis contest is to be carried on strictly
within the party we will make an effort
to capture the convention, but if the ma
chine and its methods overcome us then
will gracefully submit" :" The editor
should tell us wherein this differs from tho
proposed programme and what Bayne did
say.
TIE Independent editor of the Press
apparently satisfies himself and thinks to
satisfy its readers with this:
The difference between reform within
the party and reform without the party is
that one is reform to improve and the
other is reform to destroy it the difference
between stopping train with IA rail across

AS the Tribune discredits 4 recently re-
ported interview with Grant in which he
despises its editors, Blaine and the rest of
them, the Lcdger's New York correspond

it. There is no man on Manhattan island
more accessible than he, and what is more
his Office is within five minutes easy walk

evidence necessary to convict the accused.
The act Of the commissioners was wholly
