THE INDEPENDENT vIRG1NIUs.

Conceding all that may reasonably be
claimed by the Independent Republicans
who threaten to bolt the NOMINATIONS made
by the party, their case may fairly be stated
as follows: We personally and collectively
represent the better elements of the Repub-
lican party, in proof of which we ask the
closest scrutiny of our characters. We have
been faithful to the party and its principles
since the formation of the organization, never
wavering in our allegiance until now, and
hesitating now only because we conscien-
man against whom such grave charges have
been made. Loyal still to the principles and
purposes of the Republican party, we would
be with it again in the struggle against the
nations old-time enemy but for the reason
named above.
This, we think, is the fairest platform that
can possibly be framed as an apology for the
present detection of the New York city and
the Boston boilers. This, however, is not of
OAC piCCOJ u q b1nuC lOl IL DC0u
explanations of various members of the
party of strikers. In fact, there seems
to be little unity of sentiment except in the
one idea of withdrawing allegiance from the
Republican party. An examination of the
merits Of the plea set forth above will not be
without interest.
Let it be conceded that there are fifteen, OF
fifteen hundred, OF even fifteen thousand of
these displeased Republicans, and that they
and lone for the remaining four and a half
million Republicans who will not only stand by
the nominees, but will work enthusiastically
for their e~lectiong For the sake of argument,
let it be conceded that there are as many as
$4,000 Republicans who do not want to vote
Tor Blaine and Logan. May it not with reason
be claimed that there are fifteen hundred
thousand still left in the ranks who are the
peers, morally and periodically, of those who
threaten betrayal In the ranks already
formed to support Blaine and Logan are liter
ally hundreds of thousands of Republicans
who never voted any other ticket, men who
followed the flag of the Union OH
every battlefield, besides others who
have grown up into the party of patriotism.
These hundreds of thousands of tried and true
Republicans, men who not only helped save
the nation from dissolution, but have aided in
every hard-fought campaign to make the Re
publican party what it has been and is, these
are the men, animated by a well-defned senti-
ment among the people of all sections, who so
unanimously made the selection of James G..
Blaine and John A. Logan as the party's can
didates before the nation. While, by a liberal
estimate, one in three thousand Republicans

WHEN a man is alive he is not held response
BILE for the conduct of his wife's relations, but
after he is dead it seems to be different. At all
events, large number of exchanges appear to
consider the late William Cullen Bryant in some
way to blame because the widow of his deceased
nephew, living over in Illinois, has created a
neighborhood scandal by her naughty behavior.
The relationship is alluded to by all in semi-re-
proachful head lines, which imply that it is a
case where the sins of the uncles are being Wis
tied upon the brothers children. If Mr.. Bryant
had never been guilty of writing poetry,
this might not have happened.

POLITICAL CORRESPONDENCE,

The Journal will be obliged to the officers of
county committees and of political clubs and as
sociations if they will furnish us with such items
of a political nature as will be of general inter
est during the campaign. BUT SUCH NEW
SHOULD NOT BE We cannot
undertake the expense of receiving by wire re
ports of the organizations of campaign clubs, or
preliminary matters of a like nature. The
regular correspondents of the Journal will not
telegraph such matters.

DETECTIVES are trying to find out how the

they have not discovered the secret, but it does
not appear that they have thought to ask the

A resident of Lynn, Mass, has been

THE hospitable st. Louis POST Dispatch says
of the Democratic State convention soon to be

patch reached the conclusion that the money
will be used by its thirsty brethren for buying

AN Erie woman, who ran into her burning
house to save some property, was followed by a
large hound which was greatly attached to her,
and both were burned to death. Apostrophes to
'the faithful dog" which are now inevitable,
would have more point had the animal made
himself useful by dragging the woman out.

THE London Spectator is afraid that when Mr..

To admire Mr.. Blaine and to praise his liter

political editor a burden, through his efforts to
adhere to it and so maintain harmonious rela-

A NUMBER of well-meaning but UNIFORMED
exchanges are puzzled to know why the Repub-
licans of Indiana praise Governor Porter and
profess high regard for him, ana yet did not re-
nominate him. Indiana would, no doubt, have
made practical Endorsement of Governor Porter
by giving him the Office for a second term, did
not a constitutional provision limit the chief ex-
ecutive to a term of four years in any period of
eight. 1t is a plan which has some disadvant-
ages, but, on the whole, works well, and might
be adopted by other States to their profit.
