TO accuse this paper Of being instru-
mental in causing his death by its pub

by his daughter. Prof. De Wolowski is

that the article referred TO by him con-

Independents and Independents.

Independents and Independents.
Philadelphia Times.
That the PENNSYLVANIA Republicans who
bolted the nomination of Beaver last year
should.support Blaine this year is quite
consistent. The position of these indie
pendents is different from that ofthe In
dependents of New York and New Eng
land, who refused to support Blaine be-
cause they do not regard him as a fit can
didate. The bolt of the Pennsylvania
Independents last year had nothing to
do either with the character of the candi-
date or with the principles or purposes in -
yolved in the election.
1t was simply an issue of party organ
ization and methods. One faction had
control of the machine and the other
faction, believing themselves defraud
of their rights, refused to obey. 1t was,
In fact, as Blaine men not less than as
anti-Cameron men that these Indepen-
dents bolted Beaver. Now that they are
on top and expect to run the machine,
they have accomplished, their purpose
and from their point Of view there is no
more occasion for boiling.
The address published this morning is re-
markable mainly for thesBill with which
it evades every genusne issue of the
present campaign. The country is very
little concerned at this time about the
unit rule and district representation and
other like questions which stir the heart
of Mr.. Blaine's Pennsylvania friends.
1t is thinking about matters much more
important and of a higher scope and it
will find use for much broader kind of
independence, that which subordinates
all questions of personal integrity and OF
governmental reform to considerations
of party discipline.

We publish another letter from
Judge Wofford Tucker in which he
asks us again to publish the reSolu-
tions of the temperance convention
at Palatka. Duty called the editor
elsewhere on the fourth, but rep
resentative of THE News called on
Judge Tucker who assured us that
we should I've furnished with every
important feature of their proceed
ings for which publication was de-
sired, With this understanding our
reporter left the gentleman, and at
tempted to see him afterwards at a
place agreed between them. When
no copies of the minutes or resolu-
lions were furnished after promise
given, and after THE News had
done all in its power to arouse an
interest in the purposes of the con-
vention; when this information was
given to other journals and not to
the only daily in the city where the
convention was held, we felt that as
we had be9n left out, the most dig
nifed course was to stay out. With
much repect for the gentlemen COM
posing the convention, and with real
sympathy for their purposes so far
as we think these bear practically
on the ills we suffer, we felt that
without any desire to exclude them
from hearing" the matter was ia
ken out of our hands.

THE PARTY AND THE CONsTI-
TUITION,

Mr.. Hind in his letter claims that
the democratic party has failed to
give the people of Florida a new
constitution instead of the one ad-
mitted on all hands to be bad. Now
if the facts herein charged are true,
the indictment will weigh heavily
against us.
In 1868 the republicans then alb
solute in the state imposed upon us
a constitution which, among other
Objectionable features, gave the APP
pointment of all county officers to
the governor. Under this the re-
publicans ran the state to suit them
selves till 1876, when the democrats
elected Drew. Now under the pro-
visions of this republican constitu-
ton no constitutional convention
can be legally assembled within less
time than four years and three
months. a majority of one legisla-
ture must recommend such revision
of the entire constitution; if the
next legislature favor the revision,
such determination shall be published
for three months before the election,
and if ''majority of the electors
voting at such election" vote in IA
vor of such convention then the
next legislature shall provide for the
same within six months thereafter,
Con. 1868, art. Il. Immediately af-
ter their accession to power, the
democratic party as represented in
the legislature recommended such
revision, the succeeding legislature
endorsed their action and the people
refused or neglected to make the
call in 1880. The state was then in
debt, and we believe motives of
economy governed many in their ae-
ton, but the records will bear US
