The ''Independent" Bolts.

The Independent will not support the
ticket nominated at Chicago. 1t COM
mands neither our enthusiasm nor our
convictions. Our convictions were not
transferred by Powell Clayton, with his
drove of Arkansas delegates. Our en-
thusiasm is not kindled by gush and
dash and magnetism" The level
head and downright conscience of the
Republican party demand devotion to
principle Devotion to party is not
enough.
We love the Republican party and
are proud of its history. 1t has saved
the Nation. 1t has liberated the slave.
1t has paid third of the National debt.
1t has restored our currency. 1t has re-
formed our civil service. 1t has recov-
cred harmony between North and South.
But party must stand on its present
record and not on its past history. The
Republican party is worth nothing to
us except as it continues to represent
principles and reform. If it ceases to do
this the quiet, earnest patriots to whom
we speak can not be coaxed to keep
swinging its banners. When it is dead
they will bury it. That is what must
be done with corpses-
Blaine and Logan are fit comrades.
They were the two most Objectionable
candidates before the convention, and
it was natural that they should combine
and conquer. They represent the self
seeking demagogical clement, which
uses party for personal preferment.
No one suspects them of an earnest de-
sire for single reform. They are not
known as advocates of a pure civil-serv-
ice, of frugal expenditures of the pub
lie funds. or of the publication of pOlit-
ical methods. On the other hand, they
have the reputation of being shrewd
and INSCRIPTIONS party dictators. Their
chosen, eager friends, who have engi-
neereG their success, have been the
Star-routers of the West and the bum
mers of the East, whom Mr.. Arthur
flung Sw2y when he became President
We have no heart to go into Mr.. Blaine's
personal record, but we regard it as
not that of man who is fit to be the
candidate of the Republican party. We
can advise no vote for men who repre-
sent not the conscience of our party but
the profits or the prejudices OF its camp
followers.-M Y. Independent (Rep.)

Signs OF Revolt.

The red flag of revolt has been raised
in the Republican camp by the indie
pendents, and Republicans of all grades
are either rallying around the standard
or muttering their discomfort in man.
ner which indicates that they will joan

operations. The few who remain in
the regular ranks are but half-hearted

The Massachusetts delegation returns
from Chicago shrouded in gloon and

any strenuous efforts to stem the tide of
revolt which they encounter at home.
George William Curtis issues orders
to have the record of Mr.. Blaine worked
up for Harper's Weekly, and Mast is
sharpening his pencil TO puncture every
joint in the armor of the Plumed

The influential Republican and indie

chusetts mas bolted en- nlGSse from the
Republican camp and burned the
bridges behind it.

posed entirely of Republicans, taking
the lead with a unanimous vote to work
for his defeat.
Colonel Mcclure, the veteran jour-
nalist-politician of Philadelphia, proph-
estes the humiliation of the Repub-
lican party.
Charles Francis Adams, Jr.. declares
that he will either support the Demo-
cratic candidate or take to the woods,
and calls upon the Reform Club to take
hold and defeat Blaine and Logan any
way.
Young Roosevelt has already taken to
the woods or the prairies, and his play
mate Lodge will probably seek the Sc
clusion of Nahant to study up the rudi-
ments of the game of politics.
Colonel Higginson offers to enlist
under any flag to beat Blaine, and is
ready to lead the colored troops in the
assault.
In the New York theaters the audi
ences hiss the mention OF Blaine's name

Reform clubs and boiling Republic

to the Democrats to save the country

In a Baseball Factory.

- ne DdSe-Ddll manufacturing DuSlueSs
has had a rapid but prosperous growth, >
said a manufacturer recently. 1T is
confined to few men, and probably
will not be encroached upon by speech
latOrs. There are in the United States
to-day only eight factories of any i'm
portance, and yet these are entirely
sufficient to supply all the base balls
/ that are wanted in this country. Re-
Gently there mas been sort of boom
in the ball market. This is caused by
the adopting by clothing houses
throughout the country of the custom
of giving to juvenile purchasers base
balls as presents. The balls are of diff
ferent grades and prices. The kind
that are given away are of course cheap
but quite durable. Perhaps YOU would
| like to see how base balls are made.
Follow me and l will show you the
whole process.
On the upper floor of the establish
ment sat several men with baskets OF
dampened channels and buckskin clip
pings at their sides. Before each work
man stood a stout piece of ioiSt, in the
end of which was inserted mold, hem
spherical in shape, in which the balls
are formed. Taking a handful of cut
tings from the basket the workmen
pressed them together in his hands and
then worked about the mass afewyards
of strong wooden yarn. Placing the
embryo ball in the mold he pounds ii
into shape with a heavy fiat mallet, and
then wound on more yarn and gave the
ball another pounding. After testing
its weight on pair OF scales and its
diameter with tape measure he threw
the bali into basket and began anoth-
er When the newly-made balls are
thoroughly dried they are carried to the
sewing room on the floor below, where
they are to receive their covers. Forty
young women sat ut tables sewing on
the covers of horse hide. Grasping q
ball firmly in her left hand. with her
right hand one of the young women
thrust three -cornered needle through
the thick pieces of the cover and drew
them firmly together. In less than ten
minutes her work was completed. A
smart girl can cover two or three dozen
of the best and eight dozen of the cheap
or grades of balls in day. The wages
earned weekly range from seven TONNE
dollars. The balls are afterward taken
to the packing-rOom, where the seams
are smoothed down and the proper
stamps are put on. The best bells are
made entirely of yarn and lndia-fubber.

A Fit Candidate for His Party.

We have never had a Republican
candidate so fit representative of his
party as Blaine, and it is we'll that the
pressed and plundered the country is at
Ia put fairly and squarely'on trial.
Grant was not such representative
candidate, for he embodied the loyal
spirit which throttled the rebellion, and
it was for that, and in despite of the
faults of the Republican party which he
fairly personated in his second cam
paign, that he won the favor of the
Northern States. Hayes, in striking
degree. and Garfield also, to some
what less extent, stood before the
country Is tokens of repentance and
pledges of reform. The country bad
been threatened with Republican can
didates so much worse in personal char
acter than Hayes or Garfield that many
honest-intending people fancied that
in these candidates they had assur-
ances that the party would begin with
them new era of political purity and
moral cleanliness. That it has
so signally failed to redeem the pledges
of reform it thus first gave eight years
ago when Hayes was nominated would
have made many sober, thinking Re-
publicans hesitate this year to support
any candidate nominated by their par
ty. The nomination of Blaine will
change these from hesitating uncertain
ty to unequivocal opposition. His
brief masquerade as reformer in Gar
fields Cabinet will not eface recollec-
ton of the fact that he was the parent
of all the Stalwarts. The country does
not merely suspect him of personal dis
honesty as it did Garfield, but suspicion
is replaced by firm conviction, and he
stands before the people a good exem-
plar, in the incidents of his own person
al career, of the audacity, shameless
ness and corruption of the party which
has made him its nominee. We shall
not say that we are glad that the Re-
publican party has given evidence, in
the selection of Blaine as its standard
bearer, that it has the courage of its
convictions, for the Republican party
has no convictions; but we do say that
we welcome the fact that it has at
length the impudence to fight under its
true colors, as assuring evidence that
its characteristic audacity has at last
passed the limit of size country's endur-
ance.-St. Louis Republican.

,g centralized power at Washing

ton.
A platform which declares for re-
strictions on the abuse of power by rail-
road corporations is met by twenty
four years of corrupt favoritism of rail-
road corporations at the expense of the
rights of the people.
A canting claim of good work per-
formed and yet to be performed in the
cause of Civil-Service Reform by the
Republican party, adopted by body s
clear majority of which are Office
holders and notorious office-seekers,
stands confronted with the attempt of
two-thirds of the party to turn out an
Administration pronounced ''wise, con-
sentative, patriotic and successful"
and to put tainted or untried Admin
istration in its place.
The declaration that ''the public
lands are a heritage of the people of the
United States is met in the face of the
gift or the corrupt sale of hundreds of
millions of acres of the public lands to
grasping railroad corporations.
The demand for the restoration of the
Navy to its old-time strength and eff
cheney comes from party which keeps
Bill Chandler and Roach at the head OF
the Navy Department and squanders or
steals the naval appropriations.
Finally, the desperate bid for Ohio
comes from party which for twenty
four years has had the power to Il .is-
late as it pleased for that State, and
which has too long pulled the wool
over the eyes of the sheep-raisers of the
country.
We advise the people to read the Re-
publican platform of to-day by the light
of the Republican practice for twenty
four years.-M Y. Star.
