Mr.. George William Curtis has been spend
ing the week in Buffalo in attendance upon
the annual meeting of the National Civil
Srrvce Reform League A reporter of the
Buffalo Express awaited himself of the Op-
portunity to find out how the acknowledged
leader of the independent" voters of New
York proposed to cast his ballot in Nnyem-
Der. Answering his question, Mr.. Curtis
said-we quote from the Express: 81 shall
vote the Republican ticket this fall. In
politics | regard myself as an independent,
but when it comes to choice as between
Tammany Hall and its powerful organiZa-
ton on the one hand, and the Republicans
on the other, have no hesitation. NOtwith-
standing all that has been said about Mr..
Plat, there is among Republicans no such
malignant influence as that represented by
Tammany Hail." In cOnsonance with these
views is the position taken this week by the
influential Journal which Mr.. Curtis edits.
Harper's Weekly pronounees squarely for
Mr.. Fassett. 1t approves the characterize
ton of TammaDy MS the most corrupt and
INSCRIPTIONS political organization which
ever existed in this country; it commends
the Republican platform because it "de-
clares strongly and unequlv0cally for the
great measures of State policy which all
good citizens approve and which Tammany
Hall instinctively opposes; it supports Mr..
Fassett because che stands for the lnteli-
gent opposition of New York to Tammany,"
and because Sin personal character and adj
dress, Intellectual aud political ability,
educated intelligence and familiarity with
public affairs he Is what the Governor OF
New York ought to be-"
We believe that the Independents" OF
the State whom party ties bind loosely will,
as body. act with the Republicans this
year. Neither Mr.. Curtis nor Matthew Hale
nor Harper's Weekly may be authorized to
speak for any except themselves, but where
