Independents Who Won't Harmonic.
1t turns out that the independent Re
publican party is not in the possession of
Senator Mitchell and Mr.. Wolfe. The
selected by Senator Mitchell
to treat with the one chosen by Senator
was entirely too harmonious
to suit the Independent idea that idea
to be the political annih;-
lation of Senator Cameron. This idea
was the one presented by Mr.. Wolfe a
year ago as the basis of his opposition to
the election of Baily, the regular Re
publican nominee, and a fit man for state
treasurer, against whom Wolfe's
complaint was that he was the man of
the Cameron machine. So determined
was he that no candidate thus presented
should lie elected, that he presented him
self to the people in opposition and ran
distinctly and solely on his virtue as an
anti-machine man. Now, however, he
shows himself willing to accept from the
Cameron machine declaration against
machine rule, and to trust to its SINGER
ity even so far as to be ready to support
the candidate for governor long since
selected by it. Senator Mitchell, who de-
clares that he has inffectively labOred
ever since he has been in the Senate
to induce his associate senator to aban-
don machine methods, is also ready to
trust to his good behavior in the future,
Notwithstanding the political heads of
his friends are still falling rapidly under
the blade of the Arthur guillo
tine.
All the Reform Republicans are not
thus trustful. Mr.. Wolfe's associates on
the Independent Republican state COM
mittee issue q call for a convention which
is quite without a harmonious ring; and
an Independent convention in Delaware
county rises up to declare that it will have
none of Beaver because he is Cameron S
candidate, and that is quite sufficient
reason that he cannot he their candidate.
They do not believe in the sudden con-
version of the machine leaders, and as
they want them buried they fail to see
the propriety of putting their friends in
office. Wolfe cannot unteach them the
lesson lie taught them a year ago, even
though circumstances have untaught
him. They have not the same induce
ment to harmony perhaps that he has.
When he realizes this perhaps he will
understand that he did not know SC
much rs he thought he did. At present
he appears to have gone off on the
wrong track.
THE Delaware county Independent
Republicans have an objection to Gen
eral Beavers candidacy outside hi:
Cameron affiliations. They think thai
his management of the affairs of the
agricultural college affords poor ground
to expect great efficiency from him in
the gubernatorial Office. 1t seems that
this institution has not been a success

against his nomination, declares that hi:
