TnE INDErESDENT.

The Independent Republicans thro-
ughout the East, aud especially ia
Massachusetts, New York and Conn
et.cut are as busy as bees and grow
ing in strength daily. In Massach-
usetts the disaTection among RepublI-
can town and city committeeman
will uecessitate an overhauling OF the
local party organization before the ac-
tive work OF the autumn canvass bo-
gins. The Republican managers. are
not little worried over the outlook
in the state. In Newton, the banner
Republican city, The treasurer and
five other members OF the ward and
city committeeman have resigned.
In Cambridge the Republican commi-
ttee is badly demoraIized. Among
the designations Is that of the mem
Der whose influence In securing iinal-
cial support was OF great value TO the
party locally. The Concord commit
tee isreported to have resigned bodily
after having discussed the situation.
The Hon. John M. Forbes, member
Of the Republican national committee
said to be waiting the progress of
events before positively declaring him
self against Blaine and Logan. Righ
after the Chicago nomination Mr. Forbes
was filed with mingled indignation and
dependency.
If half what is given out at the busy
headquarters of the independents is true
they hold not only the balance of power
but they expect to beard the lion in his
den. They claim to have received let
ters from Prominent II publicans in
Bangor, Portland, HalIowell, Deering,
Houlton, and Saco, Me-, who write
that the anti-Blaine sentiment among
the Republicans of the plumed knights

the state election takes place in Sep
tember. They claim that Blaine will
not by any means have the walkever
that is expected at his home in Novem-
ber Leading Republicans in Cheshire,
N. H., especially in the city of Keene,
announce that he independent move
ment there is developing remarkable
strength.

ITEM.

Our contemporary of the Hcraif
quotes an extract from the Yolo, (Cal. }
Mail, in which that Taper gives list
Of so-called Blaine Democrats, and a
list of intensely Democratic" papers
which, it says, will support Blaine. To
show that this Is an attempt on the part
of the Hail to deceive, we call attention
to the list of papers named. The Phil
adelphia Times is one which it calls
intensely democratic" and which it
says will support Blaine. Now, the
Times is rot intensely democratic, ,"nor
In fact democratic at all, neither does it
support Blaine. We receive the daily
Times at this Office, and arc Pleased to
inform the Nail and our contemporary
of the Herald that it tn ows all its i'm
meuse influence to the support Of Cleve-
land, and enthusiastically asserts that
100000 Republicans in the doubtful
states will support Cleveland. The
Georgetown Gasstte Of Cal. is another
one Of the list, but it is also put down
in the newspaper directory as in1epsn-
dent. The Irish WorM, Of New York
is another in the list, but it is notably
greeAback labor AMI Land Leogne
organ. Now of the others in the list
We have no knowledge. but as the Nail
misrepresented the matter as to those
mentioned above, The infert nee is fair
that it has done 20 ss to the OF ers in
the list. The r epub'ican lress will
ind it very improbable campaign stock
if it attempts to build up Blaine's
waning fortunes by giving lists of
Democrats and Democratic journals
that support Blaine, for as an set-off
Democrats can find twenty Rspa blicans
or Republican papers that support
Cleveland to one Democrat or DEMO-
cratic newspaper that supports Blaine.

General business throughout Cali

and it was predicted on all sides that
the year wouldibe one of great pros
perity; but the fiattering prospects of
the spring months nave not been
realized, and business, both in and out
of the city, is very dull. The disastr-
Gus floods in the southern part of the

for the most part they, are for small

While the fruit aud grain crops will
be considerably short of expectations
formed three months ago, they will
be above average ic quality, and as
soon as the crops are marketed sea-
son of better times will certainly set

or the greater part of it, has fallen
heavily upon the wholesale trade, and
it is predicted that it will not fully

till the general growth Of the country
compensates for the large Northern

tariff laws, this amount ran up to Sf4,-

Is ra Assoc..rED rarss DISPATCHES

It is to be regretted that those who
control the sending of associated press
could not divest themselves
of their partisan prejudices and devote
themselves exclusively to the Legitimate
business of transmitting news,and whom
sending political news let it DO sent
fairly, fully and truthfully, aud with
out regard to party prejudices. We
read assurances soma days ago in an
editorial in tho ore9oniaa to tho effect
that from now on both parties would
be treated fairly in this matter, and we
were thus led TO believe that new Leaf
has been turned in the matter, and we
refrained from saying some things
about the matter that needed saying.
We now feel called upon to call the
attention of our readers to two points
which shows tho unfairness of associa-
ted press news. The first is the report
sent here concerning the Democratic cen.
vention of Illinois. The committee on
resolutions reported platform contain
ing a reform tariff plank, In which the
course of Hon w. r. Morrison in
congress was endorsed. IL also contain.
ed clause instruotirg the delegates to
the national convention to vote as a
unit to secure the adoption of similar
plank in the national platform. This
latter clause was, on motion OF Carter
Harrison, stricken out. The associated
press dispatches To tho 0regonian stated
that all that part of the platform per.
timing to the tariff was stricken out,
and the course of Morrison was disap.
proved. This was an attempt to create
division aud distrust in the Democratic
ranks, and tho Ovesoaian went into
ecstacies over the crumb of comfort
thus afforded it. II will be remember
ed that when Blaine was nominated
ths dispatches teemed with accounts o.
Blaine ratification meetings in Califor,
} MIA, but when Cleveland was nominated
the dispatches said that the ness wal
received coldly in San Francisco among
Democrats, aud there vas not an ae-
coun. Of single meeting or ratification
n The whole state. CalifoIn paper,
shows that al the very moment, when
the dispatch above alluded to was sent
from San Francisco stating the colducst
with which the nomination was rcceiv-
at that place, a monster ratification
meeting was then being held by fifteen
thousand democrats of the Golden Gate
City. So these papers show that rati-
fcation meetings were held in all parts
OF the state. Can any one fail to see
the partiality and bias in all this ? But,
with these facts before us,we will eand-
idly confess that We have seen lets of this
bias up 10 the present in this eampaign
than has beea shown IA previous cans
paigns. Credit shall be given in these
colum MS 20 whom credit is due.

FOOE ssM.

We notice an article going the ounds
Of the Republican press to the effect
that George Jones, the editor of the
New York Times, ,whos bolts Blai1e ard
supports Cleveland, is AN Eoglishma1
and therefore might be expected to bolt
Blaine. But these Blaine Republicans
fail to notice the fact that this same
Jones supported Grant. Hayes and Gar
feld,an that in the estimation of these
journalists was at that time good Re-
publican and good citiz ,n Of the United
States. This is very weak and in
efectual way cf warding off the blows
which the Times and other independent
papers are dealing out against Blaine.

SILLY.

In an exciting political campaign
many silly things are said by those who
are promoting and supporting the eleo-
tion of their favorite candidates. But
the silliest and sickliest things we have
yet met are to be found in the Chicago
Tribune in support of Blaine. Note
the following: "The season for bass
fishing opened in this State Tuesday OF
this week, and Nh. Blaine with many
sthers improved it. He is unusually
skillfal with the rod, and is accus toned
to taking long strings of fish.
"The grounds belonging to the Blaine
mansion are quite extensive ana sur
round it on every side but one. The
lawn is covered with a thick matted
growth of grass, which is kept snugly
moved. immediately in front of the
residence the grass is entirely trodden
and the bare earth appears. The many
visitors moving back and forth have
brought this about. In the rear Of the
house is large garden, which farnishts
the family with necessary vegetables II
their season. The Fourth of July Mr.
Blaine dined ON green peas from hi
own vines"
"Mr. Blaine is finding time for few
days just now to put in some eflectiv,
work on his book, and is devoting sev
eral hours each day to the labor"
"Mr. Blaine and family attende,
church to-day, as is their custom. Th
Rev. E. X. Cressey, of the Tromon
Temple, preached, Mr.. Cressey is writ
ing a biography of Mrs. Blaine, and i
in the city getting material"
Now since We have learned tha
Blaine is ''skilltui with the rod" "
see no longer any reason to continue I
hold out for Cleveland. Il would be
great misfortune to the country to elec
man president who was not "skiile'
with the rod" Agaio, we are gravel
informed that the lawn around th
Blaine "mansion" is "kept snu2l
! moved" This is highly important an,
one Of the indispensable qualification
of good president. How few men i
all the land have these tao essentia
qualifications for the presidency. w
are also told tbat"immediately in feon
of the residence the grass is entiyel
trsdden and the bare earth appears.
This we are told was caused by th
many visitors moving back and forth
How thoughtless aud careless mus
Manning and other friends of Clevelan'
have been to have no: seen to it tha
his lawn was snugly moved. Then
too, the faithful writer of the above ha
not failed to tell of Mr.. Blaine's garden
out of which he pctually gathered pea
on the Fourth Of July. Think Of it
Think of the great risk we ran of elect
ing president who did not have pea
of his own raising for bis dinner On the
Fourth. There are probably not NOR
than ninety-nine out of every huadred
farmers in Oregon who also had peas o
his own raising FOR bis Fourth OF Juiy
dinner. This is only a part Of The
boasted record of James c. Blaine. II
due time we will doubtless get the bal
ance of it.

three members Of the Republican town,
committee of Concord have done the

difficulty about filling their places that
the malter was postponed to future
meeting, a member of the West Boyls-

same reason, and like cause is repor-
