"THE Republican Independc n
n.ovemtnt," as Curtis psmpnusly
deuomiuates it. when sifted down
to the facts of the matter, consists of
what? First and loudcst, George
W. Curtis; the bung-hole of the col
lapsed Coukling cask, through
whom Conkling, always shrewd and
sly, continues to pour the dregs Of
his hatred of Blaine and the majori-
ty of the Republican party, knowing
full well that no one will be drown,
ed by them, but hoping to annoy by
the disgusting stencil which is all
the force there is left in the rotten
stuff.
Second, after the Oonklirg bung-
hole, comes foreign opposition to the
principles of the Republican party,
as voiced by the New York Times
and a few other rorcign-born papers
and a Ids and abettors of the foreign
land grabbers that are seizing on
millions of acres of the lands of the
Uuited States, hoping, doubtless, to
enforce, in time, the horrors of
their system in iceland.
Third, then comes Ben Buffers
Republican adherents in Massachu-
sctts under the name of "Indepen-
dent"!! who weuld destroy Blaine's
support in that State, SO far as they
can, in the interest of the most per,
sistent and scabby demagogue he
world has ever seen.
Summed up, the movement con~
stats of malice alien interference
and demagogue fanaticism, and
must necessessarily fall to pieces, as
it will, by the weight Of it's own un-
principlcd carcass.
In the nomination of James G.
Blaine to be the candidate for the
Presidency of the Up1fed States by
the Republican party, there was a
most glorious victory of the really
Independent Republicans; the peo-
pie at large are opposed to bossism
and machine bosses. The great
purifying Republican movement
which began six years ago TO sweep
corruption from the party triumph
cd. Bossism is crushed within the
party. A flood of popular indlgna>
ton has been turned through the
Augean stables where the bosses
their dehling herds, and
they have been swept clean, even the
bosses going down with the flood of
The present so-called inderen-
don't movement, includes none
of that pow erful wing of the
Republican party as it has
existed in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York, and, in fact, all over the
Union, for the past few years, and
which to-day has swallowed the
whole party EXCEPT the spew which
now attempts to take on the name of i
Independent and hypocritically !
assume virtues that have never
been known to abide where its lead
ers have shown themselves.
Regenerated and purified the Re {
publican party has doubtless enter
ed on new lease of life. Any
party that has the power within +
itself to kick out corruption, choke {
of the thieves that attempt to take /
Judgement under its cloak, and pre-
sent to the people and the world the .
pure principles Of a self>redeemed E
pelitical syrdy, is worthy the cenfi- ]
dence ofthe American people and 6
will enjoy that confidence to the
fullest extent. No name, ne mask,
no cloak of virture over body of
corruption, no tricks, 10 threats, no
attempts, no malice, no sarcasm, no
abuse, no vaunting, no attempt at
subornation, the weapons and tools
of the Conkling Bung Hole and his
lilipuiion following can ever divers
the attention of the people from the
powers of recuperation
and publication of the Republican
party and its grand principles en-
bodied in its present nominee for the
presidency.
