New York Conference of Independents.
MIDDLEBIRY. VT. Julv 70 1891

MIDDLEBURY, VI. July 30, 1891. ~
EdHOr Register and JourHuI Permit
me to correct number Of errors in your
mention of the Independent conference
at New DIRK. | was present during the
morning session and at the lose in the
afternoon. There were, think, certain
ly GOO in attendance. The convention
was very harmonious, earnest and en-
thusiastic. The addresses. i'm the morn
ing at least, were very able, especially
those of the chairman and Col. IIiggin-
son.
| was not present in the afternoon
when the report of the committee was
brought in, which amounted to a recon-
mcndation to support Cleveland and
Hendricks, and which was adopted. The
leaders of the convention, Messrs. Curtis,
Schurz, etc, seemed to resign all inter
est in it after this was adopted; but it
was evident that the convention had not
accomplished all it wanted to. George
+. Williams of Boston offered the fol
lowing resolution
Resolred, That the rule in the political
code which attempts to bind delegates to
the support of all the nominees and candi-
dates OF IL convention Is perniciOus. oppres-
slye and destructive of political honesty.
mat caucuses and conventions are for
deliheration, and do not bind the conscience
of the individual.
If bad measures or bad men prevail it is
the right and duty of every citizen to repu-
diate them.
ms resolution was very favorably re-
celved, but finally, on close vote, was
tabled. because there was no committee
to which to refer it, the chairman decid-
ing that the committee having reported
was dissolved.
At the same session Il second resOlu-
ton, offered by Mr.. X. II. Bowker of
New DIRK, for the appointment of Il com
mlttee or seven to consider and report
upon party methods and party reform,
was also tabled.
1t was here that good practical lead
er was needed. The convention was in
search of platform; they hated to adj
lourn without one. Several motions to
adjourn were voted down; but at last,
after tabling motion nominating Cleve-
land and Hendricks, an adjournment was
taken.
The mistake then, of the meeting was
IN not making platform. A platform
should have been framed including, per-
haps. such plank as the one offered by
Mr.. Williams, and whatever else was
necessary for the correction and improve
mcnt of party management and methods,
and also plank endorsing government
telegraph; perhaps others.
1t seems to me the thing to be done now
by the Independent party is to rectify
tins mistake us soon as possible.
our remark hat no one could get Il
ticket of admission until he had signed "A
pledge. etc, was not correct as to my
self, as was admitted on a letter of in
vitation. | believe, though, that ma
jority of the members did sign pledge
stating that they had determined not to
vote for Blaine.
Truly yours, JOSEPH BATTELI..

eral brigade of workmen do find
some field of enterprise opened up
by such catastrophe The moral
effect of anything which disturbs
the common and complacentcourse
of selfshness and awakens the
kindly emotions on a large scale
is not to be disparaged. Calami-
ties seem almost necessary to save
men and. women from utter cyni-
cism and cruelty. When great
bodies of people engage in the
beautiful enterprise of relieving
misery, they are bound to be bet
ter people for this crusade of mer-
cy. The angry and destroying
waters will subside, but the recol-
lection of good deeds will remain
to comfort and sustain Out of
these awful floods some perma-
nent good will emerge that is built
on a sure rock and cannot be wash
ed away.

Il MANUFACTURED LIE.

"Mr. Evans will finally be con-
firmed, but probably not before
next week. The object of his OPP
ponents now is to gain delay in
order to keep Wisner in as long
as possible"
We clip the above from the
special correspondence Of the
Wheeling InteUigemcer of the goth
inst, Mr. Evans may or may not
be confirmed as postmaster at
Martinsburg. That is immaterial,
but the man who attributes such
little motives to Wisner or his
friends as is contained in the last
paragraph knew that he was man
ufacturing a lie without clothing
when he wrote such stuff. We
call the attention of the people OF
Martinsburg and of Berkeley
county to the above rascally re.
mark of the correspondent.
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1884-02-23

GREAT calamities, such as the
recent floods which have devasta-
ted the Ohio Valley, bring out in
instant and cheering relief the gen
erous instincts of the American
people. All classes cooperate in
humane offices. The Federal and
State authorities put aside consti-
tutional hair-splitting and come to
the rescue of the suffering masses.
The railroad managers show that
corporations may have souls. The
general cry of distress touches all
hearts and it is seen that underly-
ing the eager ambition for gain
which is thought to animate our
whole people, there are warm hui
man impulses which may be count
ed on in times of affection. The
waste caused by the waters will
not be wholly unmixed with COM
pensation. Whilst those who have
been injured in houses and goods
will suffer palpable loss, the work
of repair and replenishment will
furnish employment for thousands
OF laborers and artisans, and cause
a demand for the wares of mer-
chants and manufacturers. Every
railroad bridge damaged or de
streyed means gain as well as a
loss. The owners of the bridge
lose and commerce is embarrassed,
but the willing hand finds fresh
work by the disaster, and supplies
are needed from those who can
furnish them, as damaged goods
Of all kinds must be replaced, and
although the absolute destruction
of property is a real wiping out Of
so much of the wealth of the com
munity, it is equally true that the
mason, the carpenter and the gen

"OCH HONE" "BILL MA
HONE,'

We clip the following from the
special correspondence of the
Wheeling htelligencer, of the
goth.
81 asked Senator Malone this
evening if Evans would be con
firmed.
YES said the Readjuster; the
delay is only caused by a little
petty meanness, and because OF
toe d-n much Senatorial courte-
sy in the Senate.
We infer ''little petty meanness
means BILLY Malone" and the
expression is apt, and the "too
d-n much means of "little petty
meanness Billy Malone also, and
the Senatorial courtesy" of the
Senate,if the correspondent speaks
the truth, must be full of forbear
ance and patience to longer bear
the barkings of 'little petty mean
ness Billy Malone.

RATES OF LABOR.

Congress has no more power to
fix the wages for labor than it has
to place a price on potatoes by
the bushel. The law of supply
and demand regulates all such
questions. The interests of en-
ployer and employe are mutual
and not separate. When one pros
pers the other prospers No en-
ploye has a right to command that
his employer shall pay rates which
must bring him to bankruptcy.
Neither can the employer force a
workman, against his will, to &C
cept special rates. Both are and
should be perfectly free and indie
pendent, and the interests of both
are better protected by natural
laws than by any process concerted
by Legislation. Farmers SOW their
acres in grain, but the price per
bushel must be regulated by the
abundance or the scarcity of the
Weld.

A Good Catch.

The Wheeling Register says a
house was caught by man at Fish
creek, Marshall county, during the
food. 1t was Il good sized dwelling,
we'll furnished and had evidently
been occupied by well-to-do people
Among the other household goods
was an elegant cabinet organ. In
one of the drawers of a bureau a lot
of gold coin was found, amounting
to about $50. Judging from several
newspapers found in the house, it is
supposed that the building came
from Oil City, Pa. The house still
remains under the care of the gentle
men who captured it, and he has
taken charge of the valuables. If
the owner hears of this catch he will
likely be down for it.
