That the so-calIed Independent ele-
ment in the Republican party is any
thing like a unit for Mr.. Blaine is by
no means manifest. 1t has never been.
Prior to the assembling of The Republl,
Can national convention in 1876, he was
Enthusiastically described by Mr.. SchuI2
and his associates as the kind Of man
who was not wanted. In 1880 Mr..
Barker, Mr.. MacVeagh and others,
who felt their ideas were viudi-
Gated in the choice of Mr. Garfield
had the same antipathy to Blaine as
they had to Grant and the politicians of
his ilk In this part of the country it
has been assumed that Mr.. Blaine repre-
sented the independent anti machine
sentiment of his party, but that this idea
Is not concurred in generally is very
plainly to be been in recent editorial of
Hdrper's Weekly wherein Mr.. George
William Curtis very plainly declares his
opposition to Blaine, for reasons that
will strike every fair minded person az
forcible and consistent from Mr.. Curtis
point OF view.
Mr.. Curtis finds text in the recen
very significant declaration Of ex.Gov
Claain, that Blaine could not carry Mas
sachusetts against the Democratic nomi
nee. Harper'S Weekly regards this as
well founded view, aud for itsel
adds ''We presume that few well
Informed Republicans suppose tha
he could carry New York" An
ticipating challenge for reason!
"why it is that the one possible candi
date whose name excites enthusiasm

The New York Tribune, which pro-
fesses to have its circulation among "the
higher classes" and rolls up the whites
OF its eyes in frequent protestations of
its journalistic decency and political
piety, is pleased to make this gentle oh
servation upon current affairs " The
name of Democracy Is a stencil in the
noStrilS. 1t is associated with all that
Is meanest and most Infamous in Ameri
can history. A man of sense might
we'll give five years of his life to get rid
of name that smells OF defeat and d's-
honor, of slave pens and AndeTsOnyIIt
prison, of organized assassination and
vote stealing"
The Tribune is the hide. bound organ
of party which has had almost uTlim
tied control of the government for
nearly a quarter of century. Within
that time ten fold more meanness and
infamy have been disclosed in public
administration than in all the previous
history of the country. During the -four
years of war the shining lights Of the
Republican party were pillaSlng the
public treasury, and for ten years follow
ing that vital struggle, all shames aud
!. crimes were perpetrated under its pa
tronage. Railroad rings, naval rings,
laud rings, war department rings, In
dian rings, whisky rings, and hun
dred other combinations stole everything
in view, and traded in every public in,
terest that came within their control
from the building of men of war to the
erection of unknown soldiers grave
stones. And when the people rose in
wrath to drive them out, they stole the
presidency itself and made fraud trium
phant for the first time IN the electoral
college. During all this time-eXcept
for one brief aberratiOn-lhe Tribune was
the apOlogist, the defender and the par
ticipator in this intamy of its party. Its
present outbreak is, therefore, not due
to short memory, but to the fact that
thief is generally also liar.
