The new Declaration of Independence
as formulated by the Independent bolt
ers, touching and concerning Mr.. Blaine,
is published by the New York Tribune,
as follows: "The history of the present
Presidential nominee of the Republican

manifest destiny. He is the earnest and
unhagging champion of the development
of American trade in every conceivable
channel, and he was never known to sit
up nights devising schemes for the de-
velopment of the trade of rival coun-

never be counted upon to serve the

wanting in attention to our Republican
brethren. We have warned them from
time to time that If we could not have
our own way we would kick. We have
reminded them that politically speaking
we were infallible in the first degree.
We have cordially invited them to ac-
cept free reserved seats to Professor
Summers lectures. But they have been
deaf to the voice of justice. foolishly
arguing that the majority was to be pre-
sumed to know thing or two,
and that the will of the minority was
not safe corner stone upon which
to erect a government of the people.
"We, therefore, the Representatives of

ing to our own supreme dogmatism for
the beatitude Of our intentions, do
in the name and by the authority Of a
minority which was badly beaten in a
fair fight at Chicago, solemnly publish
and declare that the Free Traders and
their allies are, and of right ought to be,
free and independent Of the Republican
party; and that as free and Independent
persons they have full power TO kick
like sixty, bolt nominations, vote in the
air, labor for such forerunners of the
millennium as Democratic restoration,
and to do all other acts and things which
kickers and boilers may of right do.

endorsement of Charles Francis Adams,
