Not TO he Left.

When Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER announced IN
his paper that the Rcadjusters had carried
New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachu-
sets at the recent elections he furnished
pretty good evidence that IL he had been
Zfor ARTHUR because ARTHUR was for him
The could without dislocating his conscience
declare now for the Democrats. because the
democrats were likely TO play winning
game in 1884. "But what will ARTHUR
Say 2" we asked last week. What Will he
say when he learns that the two virginia
{Rexdjuster senator's are still claiming
Ito be "Tndcpendents "l--tbat they are
+ not Republicans at all? that RIDDLE
BERGER went for ARTHUR because ARTHUR
i was for him, but had no idea OF commit
hing himself to the fortunes OF the Repub-
Slican party? II ARTHUR wants RIDDLE
zsgRGER's support, he must continue to be-
Hong to the party in power. Lord THUR
4 low once told delegation of Presbyte-
T rians that IL they would get their Church
=. established" he would treat them as nc
) did the members OF the Church OF Eng
Hand. So RIDDLEBERGER in effect, in the
3intervicw reported below, notified Mr.
3 ARTnuE that he was not going to DC Re
Apublican unless the Republicans could get
Stheir party established" We quote
8from the Wheeling hateHi9encer;
8 WASHINGTON, November Ex-senator
. ELECT Riddleberger is in the city, and being
&interviewcd as to the cause OF the Republic
Scan defeat at the late election, SAID
a "Not being in fellowship with either Of
2the two great parties, |, OF course, cannot
Sspeak from the standpoint Of either. Ir
3my opinion the people are becoming more
land more Independent every day. They
: are tired Of boss rule in parties, as well a'
& in other things"
4 "Senator, what about the Reorganization
Eof the Senate after the 4th OF March,"
4 81 suppose there will be no difficulty
about that. The Republicans will re0r
&ganize It without any difficulty. as they
3will have majority OF two over the Dem
3ocrats without the aid of the Indepen
&dentS.''
y "Who are the Independents in the Sen
Hate after March 4th?"
3 "Wel, myself and Senator Malone"
q "Do you call Senator Malone an Inde
Xpendcnti"
"Oh. yes, he is not Republican nor i
Hhe a Democrat. He is Virginia Read
8juster, who votes and acts with that part,
(which most nearly accords with his view
Hon those questions which most interest hi
Aconstituency. so far the Republican part
dhas thus acted"
a GLOW about yourself, SenatOr?"

$of legislation. | shall not tie myself to an
xparty. ! shall vote and depOrt myself il
