a.o Powerful Independent Press Eve
lu-hcrc Against HIm--.SOmethlnS
',bout the Newspapers.
Never. since the birth of the Republi-
rarty and never since the press be
Anna the power it is in politics, has there
lo., such revolt against a nomination.
i, tba following list are included several
w tb. most influential journals in the Re-
,.nblic-7He Ece7ai1lg Post, Of New York;
tho Chicago Herald and Neaus, the Herald,
If Boston, and especially the Times, of
yDv York. are the very bullwarks Of Re-
nublicanism. They show the opinions of
fine vast army Of Independent voters in
+bn Northern Stotes, and from Massachu-
sets 10 the Mississippi. No newspaper
from recklcssness or from mere whim or
nqrsonal spite bolts a nomination for the
Presidency. 1t feels sure that it's readers
will follow it in rebellion. This unprece-
dentcd revolt, therefore, is a very serious
piecc of business. The bOlder part Of the
conscientious Republicans, the Independ-
pnt part Of the party, and not a few of
the Germans utterly repudiate the Repub
Gcan nominee The machine politicians
who nominated him will have to elect
him.
1t is a situation without precedent, and
gives the Democrats reason for better hope
than they have ever had since ABRAHAM
LINCOLN was elected.
