FEY. DR. HEDGE,s POSITION.

Clergymen appear to be taking more prominent part in politics this year than usual, and many of them do not hesitate to make public their intention to vote for Blaine and Logan and give their reasons therefor. And most of the reasons are so sound and good that they deserve wide cir culation and general attention.
 The Rev. Dr. Frederic R. Hedge, a well known clergyman of Boston, being challeng ed to state his political position by the Rev. Dr. Bartol, answered that he means to vote for Blaine, and his reason for doing so is the belief that of the two candidates, one of whom is sure to be elected, Blaine represents the party most likely, on the whole, to favor and promote reform and good government. He cannot believe him so unworthy and dangerous character as the seced- CTS from the Republican party represent him. On this point he says: I have been at some pains to as certain the truth in this matter, and find that those who have known MT. Blaine best, and have had the best opportunities of judg- ing him, are those who respect him most and have the greatest confidence in him. More over, must consider the opinion of such men as the two Hoars, of Governor Robin son and ex-Governor Long as to his fitness for the presidency more trustworthy than that of the so-called "bolters,' in whose final action I seem to discern more of temper than of wisdom.
 Dr. Hedge then proceeds to pay his respects to the Independents, whom he says he should have sympathized with had they started a new and separate party, based on the issue of practical reform, of continuance in office of the tried and approved and promotion to office of the worthy and competent; and had they nominated their own candidate on that ground, distinct from Republican or Demo crat But when, he says, in their recent con- vention i'll New York, it was resolved, in or der to defeat MT. Blaine, to cast their votes for the Democratic candidate, the movement lost all it's significance and lost the sympathy of many who cannot acquit the movers of something like bitterness in their action. ''For say what they will, to vote for the presidential candidate of 8 party is to vote for that party; it is to assume the responsi- bility of the action of that party should it come into power. Can the seceders say up on their conscience that they believe the Democratic party more likely than the Re publican to carry out the principles which they, the seceders, advocate and on which they profess to ground their dissent If not then is theirs most lame and impotent conclusion,' the very irony of would-be re- form"
 Dr. Hedge further very pointedly remarks that if what is said of Cleveland is true the Independents will be found to have reversed the experience of Saul, who went to seek asses and found kingdom. We commend all that Dr. Hedge says to the consideration of our Independent readers.

PHILOSOPHICAL.
