Concise and to the point yet in view
OF the facts, entirely meaningless. We
are not aware of . single principle Or
"independent cause" advocated in our
early issues that we do not hold to-day
aud stand ready to promulgsts and de-
fend upon all proper occasions. Win
not our friend furnish bill Of speci-
fications. We will gladly give him .
reasonable amount Of space to lay the
matter before our readers. The Lon
dondery Sitter in its early issues
"ehsmpionsd" the right Of the Repub-
lican party TO meet in convention and
nominate lite candidates without the in
tervention Of rings, cliQues or trading
politicians. 1t deprecated the existence
of the 30 called "Snith ring" and bit
terly opposed its methods. 1t occupies
the same position to-day, aud will con-
tinue, while ander its present editorial
management, to advocate clean politi.
cal methods and to oppose all rings and
trading politicians. True we have not
swallowed Cleveland and his babies,
neither could We adopt that monstrous
doctrine put forth by pet journal Of
the writer Of this letter; that the pri-
vats character OF candidate, even Tor
the high Office OF President Is not .
mstter to be taken into account, whore
bis public record ID correct.
We would also assure our early day
friend that true Independence does not
lead into the democratic camp where
rests dependence upon the shot gun and
ballot box frauds for the greater pro.
portion Of the l5s electoral votes they
count assured
We are sorry to part with any Of our
subscribers and especially this one
whom we esteem Is ready writer aud
q gentleman, but such is fate, and a.
the same nail brought US two new
ones We confidently expect to survive
