Mr.. Beecner ON tho Indep endents

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher attended
the meeting Thursday evening of the
Brooklyn independent republican com.
mittee of one hundred, held to decide
whether the com mittee should disband
or continue as q permanent organiza-
ton. Mr. Beecher said he deemed 1t
wise for the independent movement
throughout the State to continue. The
independents had won victory and
what were tLey going to do? They
were not going back on the republican
party again He would so with the
republicans as far as they were right in
| local matters, but in national matters
he was democrat 80 long as that party
acted fairly.

The Federal district judge in New Orleans,
instead OF getting names from the Demo

proceeded TO select such Democrats Demo
Gratis, indeed y rs it pleased him to appoint

Two years ago Democrats of The Second

committee. nominated a candidate for the
