| Some Aftidavits Bearing on the Subject In
Question.
State of West Virginia, Ohio county IS.
Personally appeared before me- Joseph X.
Paul. a Notary Public, in and for said
county, I. J. Parsons, who being duly
sworn, says on his solemn oath:
l reside in Moundsyille, Marshall county,
West Virginia, and am an attorney at law:
On some day in the resent month, which L
am unable to fix more definitely than that
it was after this petition had been filed by
Joseph S. Miller aud itor in the Supreme
Court Of Appeals, and before the case was
argued, l was in company with Col Robert
White, of Wheeling, andL. S. Newman, of
Marshall county, al the dinner table of the
Henrietta House in Moundsville. Both of
these gentlemen are prominent and active
Democratic politicians, and Col. White
is a lawyer practicing in Wheeling and
member of the bar of the
Court of Appeals. l am Republican,
These two gentlemen were not acquainted
with me and did not recognize me. On the
occasion have mentioned these gentlemen
conversed earnestly about the political in
terests in the State, their favorite candidates
for different offices, and the chances Of
such candidates for success. Both of them
spoke warmly in favor of Joseph S. Miller,
now State Auditor, as a candidate Tor the
Democratic nomination for Governor. Col
White said to Mr. Newman that in case the
assessment order which had been made by
the Auditor should be held constitutional
by the Supreme Court Of APPEALS, Mr.. Miller
would, Notwithstanding his previous letter
of declination, be a candidate before the
Democratic State Conventions to be held
July % next, for the nomination for Gov
ernor, and would be successful in that con.
nection. Col White said it would be the
object of Mr.. Miller's counsel in the manda-
mus case to push it to an early decision, be-
cause of the eifoct that such a decision if
favorable to Mr. Miller would have in his
candidacy before the convention and in the
general interests of the Democratic party.
Toward the close of the conversation | took
part in it, and said that what Mr.. Miller had
done, with regard to the assessment order,
had been done in the interest of the Demo
cratic party and didn't think it fair to
shoulder on him all the political consequent
ces of such order. This remark, presume,
led Col White to suppose that was Dem
ocrat, for after dinner he approached me
and requested me to come to the Democratic
Convention of July %, as delegate in ia
vor of Mr.. Miller. informed him | was
a Republican Since that have not heard
Col White say anything on the subject.

THE INDEPEWDENTs.


The delegates who will come together at
Chicago to nominate Republican Presiden-
tial ticket will have need of all their wisdom
and political skill. In order that the Re-
publican party may be victorious in the COM
ing campaign a ticket must be nominated
that will secure the support mot only of the
strongly partisan Republicans, bat also of
the large and increasing number Of voters
who would be glad to vote the Republican
ticket if it suited their ideas Of what ticket
ought to be. These -Independeats will play
a very important part this year. We believe
that their number IL large enough to control
the election. Their attitude ia well and
forcibly set forth by writer in the Christian
Union.
These voters. it Is pointed out, would,
most of them, be sorry to see Democratic
candidate elected, because they have not
much faith in Democratic platforms, are dig
trustfal of Democratic leaders and are afraid
of the Democratic constituency. But they
know that Democratic victory could not re-
establish slavery, NOR repudiate the national
debt, and they do not fear serious harm of
any sort from q Democratic administration.
But they do fear losing all that has been
gained in Civil Service Reform. They fear
the victory Of the machine more than the
victory of the Democracy" They
perceive very clearly that all fu-
ture political progress depends upon
the overthrow of the machine and the
utter destruction of machine methods. They
will not by their vote aid in machine vie
oh oil l.
ocratic victory. They will mot be ens of
the crowd to carry on its shoulders TO the
Presidential chair any man who is manipu
lating caucuses and conventions and organ
izing boom to get himself carried there. If
either Blaine or Arthur Is nominated, q large
proportion of these men will bolt the nomi-
nation. If no Independent ticket is nomina-
ted, some of them will vote the Democratic
ticket; more of them will stay at home.
What happened to the Republican
ticket in New York State two years
ago, when the machine controlled
the convention and dictated the nomi-
nation, is q presage of what would happen to
it in the country at large if the machine con-
trolls the convention and m axes the nomina-
ton at Chicago. The result of the Republi-
can State convention makes it tolerably clear
that no manipulator Of the machine can Sc
cure the Presidential nominatian by the Re-
publican convention, for it makes it perfectly
clear that no such msnipulator can secure
an election by the Republican party.
This is not overstating the case, and the
managers" of the Republican party would
do well to heed the warning. There are
good many Independents right here in Con-
neeticut who would not vote for some of the
men now prominently mentioned" in CON-
nection with the Republican nomination. The
Republican party cannot afford to throw
away any chances this year, and therefore 1t
cannot af ord to ignore the ideas, or, as the
machine men" say. the notions Of the Inde-
pendents.

A correspondent writes to the st. James
Gazette in reference to the observance of
April 10 as Primrose Day in honor of the
late Earl Bsaconsfsld, whose favorite flower
was primrose: The following Primrose Day
statistics may possibly be of interest. On
Saturday, between 2 and in the afternoon,
I stood at five different points in London,
aud, Watching the first 200 adults that passed
me at each place, noticed how many of them
wore primroses. The percentage of primrose
wearers was, at the corner of Ksnsington
road and Westminster bridge road, 56; at the
corner of Parliament street and Bridge street,
SO. 8; at the corner of the Strand aud Dun
cannon street, 63 s.; at Piccadilly circas, 46;
and Mt the corner of Apsley House, 4S s..
These figures show that, of the thousand peo-
pie whom observed, no fewer than 535 wore
prinroses. I afterward walked westward
along Hyde Park to Princes Gate, and on m,
way passed 213 carriages, some or all of the
occupants OF 1O3 of which wore primroses.
Five or six of the remaining carriages seemed
to be empty. In the evening went to Dru-
ry Lane Theater, where 'tLusia di Lammer-
moor" was performed. I could not, of
course, take stock of the whole of the house;
but, beginning at the front row of the stalls
and working backward toward the pit, no.

The first Republican national convention,
in 1856, took an informal ballot, and it ap-
pearing that General Fremont had large
majority, he was declared the unanimous
nominee. There were three ballots in 1860,
when LincolA received his first nomination.
One ballot sufaoed in 1864, and one in 1858.
General Grant vas renominsted by acclama-
tion in 1872. There were seven ballots in
1876, and thirty-six in 1880. 1t is not proba-
BILE that anybody will be nominated on the
first ballot this year.
