Others in this crisis. Courage, unfal-
tering courage. Truth, morality, honor
are not dead. They cannot die. Half
a-scOre years hence, and far sooner
men will wonder that it was ever a
question among honorable men whether
such a ticket as Blaine and Logan
should be defeated or not.
| wish, in conclusion, to express my
strong sense of the great and honorable
service which the press, including The
Independent, is now doing for this
cause. | think they are doing vastly
more than any other single agency to
bring deserved defeat upon a dishon-
orable nomination.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1884-07-03
WASHINGTON GLADDEN., d. d.

OF COLUMBUS OHIO.
Your editorial of last week exactly
expresses my feeling and purpose. The
Independent justifies its name and
goes forward in the line of its best ira
ditiOns when it refuses to support a
thoroughly unfit nomination. Surely
no question can be raised respecting
the loyalty of The Independent to the
republican party. 1t has been an ear
nest friend of that party from the first :;
it has never before declined to support
the regular presidential nominee. If
it has erred at all in this matter, dur
ing the last twelve years, its error has
been too strict adherence to party
lines. Its positive. revolt from Mr..
Blaine will be justly regarded as sig
nificant.
Doubtless The Independent has dis
covered by this time that it does not
stand alone. Among the classes whom
it represents, and to whom it appeals,
the disgust and Indignation evoked by
this nomination are deep and wide
spread. The American Home Mission
airy Society is made up of men who
have done this country some service,
and who have some right to express
nominations; and friend who has Just
returned from the great meeting of
that society at Saratoga informs me
that the news of Blaine's nomination
was very impatiently received by the
majority of those present; and that
the purpose to vote for respectable
democrat, if such one was nominated,
was generally expressed.
For one | see not how any intelligent
and patriotic man, who is at all famil-
lar with Mr.. Blaine's record, can hesi-
tate to follow the line of policy indi-
Gated by The Independent. His nOmi-
nation is, to my mind, an appalling
fact. How the republican party can
put its standard into the hands of IA
man so thoroughly discredited passes
my comprehension. 1t is said that
every great political leader is bitterly
traduced but | submit that no case
like this has ever appeared i'll our
history. Party passion often finds vent
in irresponsible and foundationless
charges against the integrity of candi
dates but the case against Mr.. Blaine
is not of this nature. The most seri-
Gus accusations against the character
of the republican nominee are in the

Whether he shOuld vote for the nomi-
nee OF the other party, or for nOmi-
nee OF an independent convention, or
not vote at all, should depend on cir
cumstances. The nomination of Blaine
detiles the republican party. To puri-
fy the party is of more value to our
country than to elect the republican
nominee as next president. We must
look further ahead. We can bear de-
feat If it is suffered in the cause of
cleansing our party and making it the
litter for future action. The alterna-
tive is the corruption and destruction
of the party, and permanent injury to
the vital interests of the country which
it represents. In the present case, if
the democrats have the wisdom to
nominate Bayard or Cleveland, we
should do no harm to the country by
voting for them. Bayard's sympathies
in the war should no more operate
against him, after twenty years, than
LODgstreet's. Bayard is man of honor,
integrity and conservative patriotic
instincts. Cleveland has shown him
self governor of the first order, to
whom the country could safely entrust
itself.
r. however, the democrats should
nominate an Objectionable man, an in
dependent convention might be the
wisest plan by which republicans could
show their determination to have no
unworthy character forced upon their
sutfrages. In any case, they that seek
purity and righteousness will triumph
in the end.
We made no mistake when we re-
publicans voted for Cleveland as gov
error. Let that act be our guide. l
have always been a republican, having
been a whig before the republican
party was formed. 1t is as a republi-
can, loving my party, and seeking its
welfare, that | advocate a determined
opposition to the Chicago nomination.

COURT PREsENTATIONs.-Every lady
who goes to London from America is
apt to wish to be presented to the
Queen. The modUs operGadi is exceed.
ingly simple-if one has plenty ol
money and good luck both are, how
ever, needed.
The names of the candidate for pre.
sentation and of the presenter must be
sent to the Lord Chamberlain a fort
night before the important day. He
signifies by card that the applicant is
satisfactory, and sends large paste
board of admission.
No woman who has been divorced
from her husband, or who is openly
living away from him no woman to
whom any great scandal is attached,
can be presented at court. The Lord
Chambelain is very searching in his in
quiries, and many an American woman
striving to find in London oblivion of
the past has been astonished at the
revelations which this dignitary has
brought to light.

| The times are sadly ont of Joint
And 50, perhaps this song:

Or else the people quite mistake
The phrases now in use.
10 wit, the phrase a Gentleman"
We write the meaning plain
a Inlng corpore0l, strutting round
With neither heart nor brain:
Marked on the scale of quality
BY style of boots or hat,
Inc collars shining altitude
Or tie of the cravat.
And then the phrase; "a Villain" Who

ShlpWreck of his means and homes
Upon the sea of trade.
Though honor ever kept the helm
And prudence trimmed the sail
Ihe hidden reef has wrecked the baroue
That Knocked the maddening gale

What care the shippers? Villain! YES.

Who swindles by no plebeian rule.

Justice upon his jewelled shield.

A golden ladder takes him up
Above the reach of law.
