or safety in any other course. To
stand still now, or attempt to go blind
ly forward with the present ticket
would, in our judgment, be an insult
to the ruler of nations, sure death to
the democratic party, including its
leader, and an everlasting disgrace to
the republic.
The Independent does not, as would
inferentially appear from the republi
can press, support Blaine. 1t with
draws none of the accusations it has
made against him, nor does it propose,
as choice of evils even, to accord
him even lukewarm support. As
long as the independents criterion in
a presidential candidate is a correct
and blameless private and official life
there seems to be no other course opeT
for it than to support such a man IL
the person of eX-GOv. st. John.

The BraIrIebOro Independents

The county convention of indepen-
dents at Brattleb0ro on Thursday en-
dorsed the republican county ticket
without opposition, and adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved, that while we recall with
pride the glorious achievements of the
republican party under the leadership
of Lincoln and Seward, of Sumner,
Chase and Wilson, we cannot shut our
eyes to the reckless extravaganza and
wholesale corruption which has char
acterized its later days, nor forget that
its front ranks are now crowded with
the Robesons and Belknaps, the Keif-
ers, Dorseys and BlaineS, and that
such are the men the "grand old party
to-day delights to honor.
Resolved, that we are in favor of Il
political application of civil service re-
| form in all the departments of nation
nj, state and municipal governments,
and we will use our best efforts to Sc
cure the nomination and election OF
such men as are known to he open and
determined enemies of the present dis
reputable spoils system.
Resolved, that in the selection OF
james &. Blaine as the republican
standard bearer we recognize the
triumph of the worst elements of the
party, and, believing that his official
record has plainly proved his unfitness
for the high position for which he has
| been nominated. we hereby pledge t.
him our hearty and infexible opposi-
ton.
Resolved, that we are unalterabll
opposed to political rings, with al
that that implies.

Does Not support Blaine.

The New York Independent has
withdrawn from the support of Cover
nor Cleveland, it having been satisfied
that he was guilty of the one act
charged to him, which, it says, sis
quite enough to determine orr course. y
1--WE utterly refuse" it further says,
''to accept two standards of character.
We repudiate with contempt the
doctrine that public mans private
life : not to be inquired into" This
course is taken, it says, "without one
word in derogation of his record as
governor of the state" In conclusion.
the Independent says:
The attempt now to force such a
candidate upon the people would, in
our opinion, disgrace the party which
nominated him, and the whole nation.
if he should be elected. :. Gov.
Cleveland should positively decline to
be a candidate, and withdraw imme-
diately from the canvass, and be COM
PEELED to do SO if necessary. The party
which nominated him through its cbO-
sen representatives should then recon
vene and select new ticket that will
command the hearty support of the
people of all parties. There is time
enough to do this, and there is no hope

preside on this interesting occasion.
As YOU have come here to listen to dis
tinguished gentlemen, who have not
the felicity of residing in Burlington,
and some of them not even the comfort
and safety of living in Vermont, the
pole star of sound politics, it would be
ungracio us andcruel i'll me to occupy
the time that has been devoted to our
guests. | must say, however, that a
very close study and observation of
the professions an. practices of the
democratic party, in congress and in
the county, that the generous conf
dence of my fellow citizens has enabled
me to make for long period, has de-
monstrated to my mind, that the safe
ty and welfare of the people of the
United States continue to demand its
exclusion from power. Whatever
doubts or difficulties may embarrass
our cOuntrymen, here or elsewhere in
the United States, it seems to me that
in the present attitude of political af-
fairs, the defeat of the democratic par
ty is a need fairly paramount to any
other.

lief of opinion and of action that be-
longs to citizenship it is the funda-
mental part of our creed none of us
can avoid the great responsibility that
results from that freedom. Under
such responsibility and looking at
every aspect of the public veal, the
people of the state of Vermont are to
express their opinions of the princi-
| II, Al. a., III La, nt
the democratic party. 1t has been
wrong for more than a quarter of a
century and fear it will continue so fol
as great length of time to come. In
the recent periods when it has had
control of one or other of the houses al
congress, it demonstrated it's unfitness
for government in respect to nearly
all the important measures it proposed
or resisted, and every succeeding veal
seems to decorate it with new folly
but must return to the duty | stat
ed at the outset, and have the pleas
ure of presenting to you Congressman
Horn of Michigan.
1t will be seen that he does not ever
mention Blaine's name, and his sterling
republican principles did not caus'
him to overcome his objections to Mr.
Blaine. His course ought to set a
thinking those who have admired hi
sturdy devotion to republican princi
pies, his official integrity and his aver
sion to place-seeking, for, while hi
name was mentioned in connection
with the presidency, no one for
moment thinks that he is sulking from
political disappointment. All mus
concede that his course is actuated b.
the cOnscientiOusness that has eve
characterized his private and otficia
life.

Police News Journalism

Many hitherto admirers of the BOs-
panied to think that such Il clean and
wholesome paper should descend to
the means it has employed to further
the interests of its presidential candi-
date. The Montpelier Waterman, it
self an advocate of Blaine, voices the
feeling of Indignation felt at the
spreading of such filthy details before
the public. If the facts as originally
stated had only been published, the
case would have been different but col
umn upon column of the Journal has
been given up day after day to
the exclusion of treatment of more i'm
pOrtant issues. If what is alleged con-
corning the public acts of Gov. Cleve-
land is true, there is no need of a scan
dial to encompass his defeat, when the
facts are laid before the public. The
Journal has not been given to this
sort of thing, and the evident delight
it takes in serving it up to its readers
every day would seem to Indicate, that
it is not content to rest its ease on Gov.
Cleveland's public acts. The Watch
man characterizes its course rs ''infa-
nous, Says "nO useful purpose is served
by the publication" and that the "thin
Disguise of virtue" or "the prurient
prudery which the Journal affects
will not ''destroy the venom of the

No one believes that the Journal was
actuated in this matter by burning
zeal in the cause of virtue. 1t has

less will in the future support, for of
flee men even more open to criticism

Cleveland. 1t seems to be plain that
it is impelled solely by desire to Oh
