its standard bearer the republican con-
ventiOn makes emphatic its declara-
ton in favor of progress and reform.
In politics Mr.. Davenport is identified
with the young republicans who fought
for clean methods and clean candi-
dates. A thorough business man, he
believes in the observance of business
principles in the administration of pub
lie affairs. After careful scrutiny of
his record no Independent can find any
source of objection and no factiOnist
will be given ground for opposition

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
President Cleveland's letter to Dor
man b. Eaton must be counted among
his best efforts to impress the popular
mind with political truth at happy
moment. Coming just between the
nominations of the two parties in New
York and, accompanied rs 1t is, 10y the
suspension of the appointment of Ster-

BRAVE AND CHEERING SIGHT.
1t is the most interesting spectacle
that politics has presented for long
time-this spectacle of the president,
sincere and resolute in spite of the
mistakes he has made, complaining, as
he has right to complain, of the par
tiSan and factiOuS criticism of pOliti-
clans who, having done all they could
to defeat him and to hinder reform,
now season their fault finding with
selt-righteOusness; appealing to his
own party to make sacrifices, and eX-
pressing faith in the people to enable
him to carry ont the reform, and in
their appreciation of it, whatever fault
his critics may find, and however slow
his own party may be to learn the les
son of self-denial to its own profit. 1t
is very brave and cheerful spectacle.
