The attitude the real Independents
hold in this campaign was we'll illus
trated last week in Buffalo, when the
Independent Republican Club of that
city ratified the nomination of Blaine
and Logan. The demonstration re-.
called that other oDe in 1882, when
the same club indorsed the candidacy
of Grover Cleveland for Governor of
New York State. The same man,
Sherman S. Rogers, presided, and the
same orator, General Stewart l..
WoodfoTd, spoke on both occasions,
but the meeting of this year was larg
er and more enthusiastic, and more
successful in every way. No event of
the campaign has indicated more
clearly the set Of the political tide
than this Buffalo demonstration. 1t
brings over in body $500 former
Independents.

TAMMANY HALL does not propose
to be satisfied with half measures. 1t
has not only nominated a full county
ticket without conference with any of
the other Democratic organizations of
the city although overtures for such
conference were made, but it has
placed in the field full Congression-
al representation for the city. The
purpose of all this is manifest. Tam.
many proposes hereafter to be the
Democratic party of New York. The
producing cause of this defiant policy
can be found in the Chicago conven-
ton. In that convention Tammany
was in the minority and was made to
feel very bitterly its weakness. It's
advice was not only rejected but re.
jected with insult. That was the day
when Cleveland was praised for the
"enemies he had made" and no heed
was given to the complications which
might in the future flow from such in.
judicious praise. The Tammany lead.
ers were the enemies" then aud Tam.
many was the under dog in that fight.
Now the positions are reversed. The
Tammany dog is on top, and the Tam
many leaders are preparing to show
the Democratic party of the country
that without the support of that or.
ganization the party is pOwerless.
The sePerate and independent and de.
fiant nominations by Tammany mean
that and nothing else.

THE Democrats objected to Grant
because he was soldier and not
statesman and now they object to Mr..
Blaine because he is a statesman and
not a soldier. AS Mr.. Cleveland is
neither the one nor the other, they
take to him, we suppose, not because
of any mental ability, but because he
wears q No. Is collar.

LESS than six months ago 152
Democratic Congressman voted for a
reduction of 20 per cent. in the wages
of workers in glass factories and iron
mills. Is it strange that business is
paralyzed during a campaign while
the danger of the success of its sworn
enemy is imminent?

THAT SAME OLD COON!

The Derrick, which never overesti.
mates Republican majority, gives
figures this morning showing that the
Republicans have carried the State
of Ohio by over sixteen thousand ma.
jority, which is a Republican gain of
2S,529 over last year, and about 35,.
900 of gain over 1882. The same
returns also indicate that the Repub.
licans have made large gains in the
Congressional delegation. The indi.
cations are good for the election of
Romeis over Hurd, the noted free
trader.
In the case of Ohio as in Maine the
Democrats claimed that if the Re.
publicans did not carry the State by
10000 it would indicate defeat, and
all the time they were expecting to
carry it themselves. Did the Repub.
licans carry it by 5000 or 5000 it
would have been grand victory, con- E
sidering that at the last two State
elections it had given large Democrat.
ic majorities, and had the entire DO.
litical machinery in their hands and
used it for all there was in it. So
that, considering the very many dis.
advantages of the Republicans in
Ohio this year, they have won enc of
the grandest victories ever achieved.
1t is far greater than the October
victory of 1880, when the lamented
Garfield was the candidate. The
achievement of such handsome vic.
tory will fill the Republicans with re.
newed vigor, as it should. Hurrah
for Blaine and Logan!

Duty of the Hour.

But three weeks more remain of the
campaign, and it therefore behooves
ali good and true Republicans to be
up and doing. Our enemies are on
the alert and ready to take advan.
tage wherever and whenever it can be
had. See to it that they are watched
on all sides, and let no inroads be
made in our ranks. The canvass thus
far has been quietly progressing. The
time has now come fer every man to
buckle up to the work. By standing
shoulder to shoulder in the past we
have won signal victories; by stand.
ing shoulder to shoulder we will do so
again. There is no need to impress
upon Republicans the Importance of
winning this election; every one of
ysu knows that full we'll. The way
to win is for every man to do his
share, to be unceasing from this on
till election day is over. Be watch.
ful, be vigilant, earnest, and above all,
energetic. Talk to your good neigh.
bor; show him that Republican de.
feat means death blow to our cher.
ished industries. Our county ticket
must be elected to a man. Don't lose
sight of this for one moment from this
on. A few selfappointed bosses, act.
uated solely by Self.aggrandlzement,
have hatched up so called fusion by
which they hope to defeat US. No
voter who respects and cherishes the
principles of his party is bound to
support any such dicker, for it is
nothing more nor less than a dicker,
and there is not the slightest politi.
cal principle involved in the trade.
Our enemies have attempted to doub-
le.team us; let the voters rise in their
might and put the seal of condemna.
tion on such bartering away of prin.
ciPles. Work and be vigilant from
now on.

10 measure the miserable turpitude
of those constantly engaged in assail.
ing Mr.. Blaine as corrupt in the posi-.
tons he has filled as a public man,
there is only one fact to be considered.
No one has yet charged him with a
corrupt official act. While he was
Speaker, with the Record of the House
accessible to them, not one of the foul
detractors has found vote or ruling
that they can cite to the world as a
ruling he ought not to have made, or
a vote he ought not to have given.
While in the Senate the same remark
holds good. OF course, on political
questions, there were many of his votes
distasteful to the Democrats, but those
votes they do not call in question, be.
cause they know that the majority of
the people do not agree with the Dem
ocrats, and the latter are only too
anxious to keep them out of sight. He
was assailed while Secretary of State
for the policy he wished to pursue
toward Chill and Peru, not specifically
for the policy, but for some indefinite
speculations they charged him with in.
tending to engage in. The charge of
Bolivian Minister Adams, that
Chill had sent 100000 to this coun-
try to influence the newspapers to op-
pose Blaine's Peru.Chilian policy, and
the papers that did so, show what in.
spired that attact, and what was done
with the money, and disposes of that
charge. Now, reflect that these same
papers are the leaders of the assaults
upon him; that these assaults
consist of the wrenching ofall the busi-
ness letters Of his they can find into
meanings that they would not bear if
read without reference to his political
life; and that this is the whole ofanti.
Republican campaign material used,
and 1t is easy to see how lost to every
sense of honor or patriotism these vile
detractors are. And ell that is need
ed in reply to them has been said.

One of the most conspicuous candid lies
and at the same time the least likely to
receive the republican nomination for
president, is senator Edmunds of Yer
mont. His qualifications for the position
are every way as ample rs any Of the
other candidates mentioned, but he has
several drawbacks which will handicap
him i'll the presidential race. The great
est objection to him as an available can
didste is his location Vermont is sure
for the rcmiblcaus, whoever is nominated
and what the political bosses are seeking
FOR is Z man who can carry New York,
Ohio and Indiana. A statesman from
Vermont III the republican party has
therefore no more show TO be honorc,i
with the presidential nomination. than II
native of Delaware in the democratic
party. As rule the grand Old party of
fraud anl morality would rather have q
third rate man from one of the middle
states, than Il first class man from Yer
mont or Massachusetts This Senseless
prejudice operates powerfully in favor of
Mr.. Blaine, who is only New Enslander
by accident and emigration, while at heart
he remains Pennsylvania
Mr.. Edmunds is uuqucslionablya an able
lawyer, and for republican politician he
is unusually independent in his opinions
and acts; bnt he is not Independent enough
to satisfy the requirements of patriotism
and justice. He bore prominent part in
the shameful transactions which estab-
lished Hayes in the white house after Mr.
Tilden had been lawfully elected This
fact constitutes blot which can never be
wiped awaw from the character of Mr..
Edmunds. Again, his friends arc not as
numerous as they might be, and he has
but few that will work and fight for him.
Nothing in his cold, logical, and rather
cranky nature attaches men to his cause.
Blaine, on the contary, has sort of mag
netism about him that makes him a ia
vorite with those with whom he comes in
contact. Taking all these things into
consideration it is safe to say that Ed
munds win remain in the senate, and in
one respect he can be considered fortu
nate He will not be Inundated by the
severe drubbing that the republican can
didate will he compelled to sustain this
fall.

CINCINNATI May 3 .--William McHugh,
who brutally stabbed his wife to death on
the night of July g. 1881, and has thrice
since been convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to death, has paid the
penalty of bis crime on the gallows. The
death warrant was read at 1905, and he was
conducted to the scaffo!d at 1915 The drop
fell at l0:lS, and the body was cut down
fifteen minutes later. Father Brady
Catholic priest was with the coz
demned al the morning, followed him
30 the scaffoId, and administered
the last rites of the church. While on the
way from the Jail TO the gaIlows he knelt and
made short prayer. About 200 persons in
addition to the police were present, and the
most perfect order was observed After the
body fell there was movement of the crowd
toward it, but at word from the sheriff
they fell back, and none but physicians and
the coroner approached the body. The
moose was adjusted loosely, and the knot
slipped to the back of the neck
McHugh was perfectly calm and composed.
