The political developments Of the past year have

men whom it has denounced and the measures that it
has opposed have directly indirectly brought de-
feat upon the Republican party and carried the DEM

with Republican rule.
In this situation Of affairs, THE REPUBLICAN finds
for great rejoicing Mixed il Is trgc, with some
regret that in Massachusetts, the Independent voter

welfare Of the republic is the vital fact In laboruS
to bring them about The Republican Is and will be
wholly independent of men parties aud factions rec
oguizng and using instruments, but bound to none.
