THERE are only two courses open
for the Independents if they con-
clude to 60 forward. They can
make their battle for the control OF
the Republican organization or they
can fall into line with the Democra-
cy. Either way they choose to go
the result leads to Republican de-
feat if they stand by their colors.
If they make their fight as Repub-
licans they can hope for no present
reward. On the other hand, the re-
suit of coalition would be practical
absorption into the ranks Of the De
mocracy. The action taken in the
Convention to-day will disclose the
order of procedure. Whatever may
be done, it is a matter of public
graduation that there is to be po-
litical breakup. New men are
brought to the front. and the old
parties are put upon their good be-
havior. If the Democrats have the
wisdom to follow up the action Of
the Republican Conventions by
placing in nomination o strong tick
ct, no great harm can come to the
State whichever party succeeds

Hor SPRINGS, Ark, May 23.-Re-
ports Of the destruction by a .terrif-
&c tornado last week in Polk county,
are coming in by mail. Besides the
destruction Of the Turner home
stead and the killing of the two
children. DR.. McDaniel's residence
was torn to pieces, and the doctor
seriously, ifnot fatally, hurt. The
entire family of Scott Lindsey were
badly hurt, and Mrs James Davis,
a visitor, was probably fatally IN
jured. Mr.. Barber lost every build
ing on his farm, and Mr.. Meningitis
residence was also destroyed, the
occupants escaping. Joseph PEN
ner's little daughter was killed, and
Mr.. Holmes and his wife received
fatal injuries. The Baptist Church
at Gardner's was demolished. IL is
estimated that fifty farms were dew
astated. The damage in Yell and
Polk counties is not less than $780,
900.

4 FEW weeks win dear up the DO
litical sky and show the weakness
Of the kickers' ticket among the
people. In 1872 when Governor
Hartranft was first nominated there
was four fold the howl raised there
now is over the nomination of Gen.
eral Beaver, and the Democratic
press then as now, whooped her
up" for the kickers. The conven-
ton refused to make Hartranft's
nomination unanimous, and at first
refused to let him address it.
Charges of fraud, and completely
with the " Railroad Ring" with the
q Evans fraud" the " Sinking Fund
Swindle,7 and with having used
State funds for private speculation
in conjunction with Cameronism
were howled throughout the State, a
large number of influential newspa-
pers refused to support the ticket,
many prominent Republicans falter-
ed and hung back, and committee
from New York begged that he be
Withdrawn, as his defeat would lose
us the coming Presidential election ;
but the true Republicans stood firm.
After awhile came the reaction, men
began to inquire if the charges were
true, end if they should be accepted
as fatal to the party. Public feeling
generally changed, the mass of the
party united in his support, and he
was elected by over 5000 majority.
His administration is known as one
of the purest We ever had, and he
was renominated without opposi-
ton. The reasons urged against
General Beaver are trivial compared
to those offered for opposing Gen.
Hartranft, and experience shows
how utterly powerless are reasons
based on real or imaginary relations
existing between a candidate and
any particular person or persons.

Now, that the kickers have nomi.
mated a State ticket, is there man
in the Commonwealth who honestly
believes that it can be elected t? Does
not every intelligent man know that
either the Democratic ticket or the
regular Republican ticket will win
in this campaign?
For twenty years the Republicans
hare carried this State, and the
Democracy can win only with Re
publican help. Is there anything
in the history of the Democratic
party to induce Republicans to help
restore it 10 power? No man can be
50 blind a. not to see the result ol
dividing the Republican vote, and
he who throws bis vote away on tie

fan consciousness that be is helping
to elect the Democrstic candidates.

THE editor of the Lancaster Nesc
Era, an Independent Republican
journal, says: The Philadelphia
ticket is one of the best ever put up
in the State, land while l am not
certain the candidates can be elect
ed, I do believe they can defeat Mr..
Cameron's ticket" Mckee, Chair
man of the Independent State Com
mittee, says: 1.-The ticket will re.
ceive fully three times the vote given
to Wolfe in this State last year,
which means defeat to the regular
ticket. 1t is evident from this, that
all the Independent bosses care for
is to defeat the regular Republican
ticket.

THE Philadelphia Convention
came very near nominating Judge
Agnew for Governor. Nothing but
a sudden adjournment prevented it.
On re-assembling, John Stewart was
put through unanimously. An ad-
journment is a common political
trick of the bosses, to force through
a slated nomination, or to prevent
one they do not want. And yet
this convention, proftssedly based
on hostility to machine methods,
adjourned to prevent Agnew's nomi.

SPEAKING of the Kickers' Conven-
ton held in Philadelphia last week,
the n. Y. Tribune says:
Delegates were present from all
parts of the State, who were elected
BY the free soM of the people, and who
were allowed to execute that will
without dictation from any man or
set of men,
How the little bosses in this COM
mupity must snicker in their sleeves
when they read this, and then think
how much of "the free win of the
people" of this county was exercised
in the election of the delegates that
professed TO represent them in that
convention.

What this means may be inferred
from the following editorial item

publicans, and if Tennessee will
stand firm the Republican party
may be defeated in the National
contest in 1884"

The unanimity of the Democrat

The unanimity of the Democratic
press for the Philadelphia ticket is
something to be admired. With
one voice it is proclaimed the best
Republican ticket ever nominated,
and every Democratic editor in the
State has suddenly been endowed
with the gift of prophecy and freely
predicts that it will receive as many
or more votes than win General
Beaver and the regular ticket. This
voluntary tribute of the Democratic
press TO the great and good indie
pendents who have consented to be.
come candidates for the purpose Of
helping that party into power, is
most touching, and is proof positive
of extreme disinterestedness.

strength from the fact that these

pie, there was no popular demand
for the nomination Of any one Of

LII will be news to majority OF
our readers, We presume, that the
people of this Senatorial district and
of this county were represented in
the kickers' convention, held last
week in Philadelphia, by John H.
Snyder, of Stoystown, as Senatorial,
and George w. Brinham, of Summit,
and J. o. Meyers, of Meyersdale, as
Representative delegates. How it
came about, the Meyersdale Com
mcrcial is kind enough to inform
the public, after the convention is
over. In that journal of Friday
last we find the following:
At called convention of the Independ-
ent Republicans of Somerset county held in
this borough on Saturday last, twenty-six
of the thirty-three districts were represented
in person, or by proxy or letter. The con-
vention was called by the sub-committe-
man of Fifty in obedienbe 10 the demand
from all parts of the country by the oppo-
nents of bossism and stalwartisn1. Geo. ].
Hibner, of keystone Junction, was called to
the chair and WI. Meyers, of Meyersdale,
was elected secretary. The credentials, let
tiers and proxies, were presented, accepted
and filed. On motion J. H. Snyder, of
Stoyestown. was elected Senatorial delegate /;
J. o. Meyers, of Meyersdalc and Geo. w.
Brinham, of Summit, were elected repre-
sentative delegates. The delegation was
not instructed. On motion to adjourn to
reconsene at the call ofthe President in or
der to provide fer future action, short spirit
ed addresses were made by many members
and letters from differsnt sections of the
county were read, when the motion was
unanimously adopted. Convention then
adjourned to meet at the call of the Presi-
dent.
When, how and where was this
convention called? Was it secret
meeting, or if not, why was not the
call published in that widely circu-
lated newspaper? What twenty-six
districts were represented ? Who is
the great Mogul-"th sub-commit-
teeman Of ffty?" Whom did the
delegates. the letters and proxies
to this convention represent? Who
authorized the writing of proxies
and letters? Have we a secret polit.
ical society in our midst? These
are few of the questions that will
occur to an inquiring mind. Here
was great gathering of the people

THE MURDER.

UNIoNrowN, Pa, May 26.-The
special train which brought the muir
derer of Policeman Robb, Bayard
Low, here last night, was the only
thing that saved him. The station
at Dunbar, where the train passed,
was crowded with an excited mob,
and the entire town here escorted
the party to the jill. Your corre-
spondent returned IL Connellsville.
The excitement had subsided, but
every one joined in saying that had
the men remained in Connellsville
they would have been lynched. A
post mortem examination was had
on the body of the dead officer, and
it was discovered that either Of the
balls which took effect in his breast
