WILL THE IN DEP ENDENTS
BOLT?

New York Herald: Mr.. Carl Schurz
is a very good representative Of the indie
pendent voter in politics, and we sup
pose he will express the views Of the In
dependents. About two weeks ago he
said to a Herald reporter
1t is now being recognized as al actual
fact that the nomination OF Blaine would
be disastrously obnoxious to quite a
large and strong e~leIsent in the party
which it would be simple folly TO ignore
in a probably close canvass The
simple truth is that party shackles are
very loosely worn by a vast number OF
so-called Republicans, whose prejudices
lead them into the Republican camp. if
they find the right sort OF a commander
and the right principles Of warfare, but
who care SO little for the regular stock Of
slogans Of the Republican party that
they are ready at any minute to fight
under another flag in order to obtain
what they demand in the shape of re-
form. These men will all argue that if
the Republican party in convention
assembled can nominate for the Presi-
dency a nan Of Blaine's a~ntecedents it is
no longer safe to be intrusted with the
control OF the Government.
Well, the Republican party in conven-
ton assembled has nominated Blaine.
We would ask whether the Independ-
ents will swallow this bitter pill and fall
in with the party, or whether they will
boltt
Finally the great agony is over, and
Mr.. Blaine is the candidate OF the Re-
publican party for the Office Of President
Of the United States. We are sorry for
it, and we believe the Republicans will
be sorry for it mex November. But al
though every man who cares for the pu-
rity Of public life and the welfare OF the
country, and especially all those who
hoped for the redemption Of the Repub-
lican party from the evil elements that
have already nearly dragged it down the
depths, must poignantly regret a nomi-
nation like this, yet there has grown
within a day or two in many circles a
sentiment that will regard the nomina-
tion with q certain grim sense Of salts
faction. Indignation of decent opinion
at the ever-recurring nuisance of the
Blaine candidacy, a revolt against the
open shamelessness Of the Blaine men
and their methods and at their scheme of
carrying things with a roar and not by
reason, has made men feel that at last
that there was perhaps but one cure for
all this, which was to have the Blaine
element carry the convention and nomi-
nate their man, and then see the man
and the party buried out of sight by an
overwhelming defeat at the hands Of the
people. All who have felt that way have
their cure before them; and they may at
least congratulate themselves that they
are now indeed in a fair way to have
done with Blaine forever.

TILpEN.s

We publish elsewhere the letter Oh
Mr.. Tilden declining to be a candidate
for the Presidency. The d~eclination Is
positive. absolute, final. We publish,
also. the views Of a number Of promi-
nent CalifQnians on the subject. Read
these and you will probably get, BY sum-
ming up and averaging, what Democrats
generally think OF having to lose the can
didate that the Democracy prefer to al
others. II ia not unnatural that some
emotional Democrats should think they
have reason to be discouraged. The
Sage Of Grammercy Park has been their
f~avorite and they don't know for the mo-
ment whom to bet on now that ne IS
taken off the field. There are other
Democrats who are simply disappointed.
The best balm for encouragement or dis
appointment is offered by Mr.. TIiden
himself, who, in effect, says that any
party that depends upon a man IS not to
be relied upon. As for ourselves we nave
TO say that we deeply regret the impossi-
bility Of nominating Mr.. Tilden- 1t IS
only in his person that the people OF the
United States, taking solemn, second
thought, have the means OF declaring 70
the world and establishing for themselves
whether or not elections In the
United States are sacred-whesner
or not the will Of the people
expressed at the ballot box may be over
ridden and put aside. A proper conald-
Grafton for the American people, by Mr..
Tilden's compelled d~eclination, is rem
dered impossible. The Fraud must
stand on the books unatoned forever,
and the disgrace Of the nation be emPha-
sized as perpetual.
The issue now is ~squarely impersonai
between Republicans and Democrats.
The two parties are to be judged for
what they are in the present by the rep
resentative men they put forward as ex-
p~onents Of the principles they respective
ly advocate.
The Democracy is not a one-man party.
1t has in its ranks a score OF available
men, who will receive the universal in
dorsement and hearty support OF Demo
Gratis. TiIden out Of the fight, we have
Cleveland or Bayard or Flower for Presi-
dent, with Morrison or Mcdonald or
Carlisle for Vice President. This is the
way it looks. Joe Mcdonald or Holman
may be nominated for the Presidency, or
that noble Senator Thurman. No M
can tell now. Whoever is nominated
will have the party solid. The same can
not be said OF Mr.. Blaine. Already he
is bitterly attacked from within his own
household. The New York Herald,
which is about as near Independent as it
can be, but inclined to the Republican
party, gives the Plumed knight a going
over, which we offer to our readers in
this column this morning.

In another column will be found q re-
port of the proceedings of what is
claimed to be the senatorial committee
or the 38th senatorial district, We are
not IN the habit of ''kicking, - but when
anything is done which is so outrageous
as that, we will always be heard from.
The committee made the apportion-
ment on the vote for Hanback,, who ran
away ahead of any other candidate in
Decatur and RaWlins counties. Why
did they not take as basis the vote
cast for Jas. Smith instead of that for
Hanback, 1t was because they were not
disposed to be fair and give Norton
county the delegates it was entitled to.
1t looks very strange to us outsiders TO
see that Norton county has two dele
gates in the state convention and Deca-
tur one, while in the senatorial cOnVen-
ton Norton has but nine delegates and
Decatur ten. It. has ALWAYS been the
desire of Norton county to be on friend
ly terms with its sister county Decatur,
but when it attempts to perpetrate such
an outrage as that, we have the stamina
to get right up and resent it. We wish
to say right here that there must be
more fairness and less trickery by the
managers of the Republican party, or it
will go to the devil whoOping. Peo-
pie have got tired of political trickery !,
and will not stand it. It has been re-
peatedly sat down upon in this county,
and will continue to be so long as it is
attempted. Nothing can be lost if fair
and honest in politics as well as in any
thing else. We are sorry this occurred,
sorry to be compelled to speak so plain
In q of nH1$ oh
deem ourselves direlect in duty to our
county, did we not protest against such
apparent fraud as this apportionment of
delegates by the self-constituted sena-
tOrial committee. We are on the verge
of an important political campaign, and
every honest effort must be put forth
to carry the republican party to victory
| this fall. Our ranks are already scat
tered, on the congressional question,
and we can assure our friends that the
party has no votes to throw away. We
will have all we can do to carry all our
candidates through, and it stands us in
! hand to treat each faction with fairness
| lection to the calling of the convention
at Oberlin; we would have been salts
fed with anything fair, and, for the
sake Of harmony in our ranks, have
advised that concessions be made, but
to see our own people so unfairly treat
ed as they were by the senatorial COM
mittee is just little more than we are
able to stand without a vigorous pro-
test. We hope the committee will re-
consider their action and make new
superintendent, It cannot injure any
one and will only be equitable to Nor
ton county for them to take such action.

their neither garments to put Plumb in
that position feel richly repaid for their
part in the scheme. The whole matter
