MANLY INDEPENDENCE.
Principle, Not Patronage, Animates Tru
Republicans.

Principle, Not Patronage, Animates True
Republicans.
Every republican has the right Of free
Judgment. No president in either party
has succeeded in satisfying every mem
Der of his party, and no president has
escaped the criticism OF friends whose
every wish he has found it impossible to
crafty.
President Harrison has been no eX-
ception to the rule which does not adj
nit of exceptions. We believe he will
be nominated on the first ballot at Min
neapolis If not by acclamation, but we
have no quarrel with those who believe
otherwise. Gen. Malone, of Virginia;
Senator Quay, Of Pennsylvania, and
ex-senator Platt, of this state, may all
hold to different opinions. They have
the right of free Judgment, and SO have
we But their opposition to President
Harrison's s nomination has for its basis,
as every one knows, their dissatisfac-
ton with the distribution of the pat
ronage.
The republican party, speaking now
of the great mass of its voters, is far
less concerned in the question as to
how the patronage shall be distributed,
or who shall be favored in its distribu
tion, than it is in the question whether
or not republican principles shall pre-
vail; whether the republican policy Of
protection and reciprocity, Of honest
money, free vote and fair count, Of
good wages to American workingmen,
and the defense of American manufac
turing interes is shall be upheld or shall
90 down with the defeat of the repub-
lican party.
Principle, not patronage, is the ami
mating purpose of the republican heart
and anyone among the leaders Of the
party who makes patronage, not prin-
ciples, his guiding motive must in
evitably meet with opposition and
eventually with overthrow, because the
basis of his republicanism will be con
strued to be selfish, unpatriotic, narrow
and unprincipled.
If President Harrison'S nomination
should come, as it obviously will come,
in spite of the opposition of a few po-
litical bosses, it will reveal the strength
of the republican voters and the weak
ness of the bosses themselves. He can
not afford to make, should not make,
and, we have reason to believe, will
not make, any pledge of patronage or
spoils in return for denomination. If
his splendid administration is worthy
of the Endorsement it has received from
every state republican convention this
year, it would be folly to cast him
aside. To commend an administration
and then thrust aside the administra-
tor would be to subject the party TO
merciless ridicule and ceaseless criti-
cism.
President Harrison will be rel omin-
ated he will enter the canvass unfet-
| tered, under bonds to no man, obligated
only to his party and his country. Ac-
cepting the nomination as free man,
he will be infinitely stronger with the
people than if he accepted 1T as the
slave of political bosses. At this time,
when manly independence is asserting
itself everywhere in politics, the power
of bosses to make or unmake public
men is confined exclusively to the dem
ocratic party.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

DRIFT OF OPINION.

rE~The democratic ma joritieS in the

E-A democrat holding a stolen seat
in congress was kept there by partisan
majority, and the result is hailed as a
democratic victory. Every successful
fraud on the ballot-box and every out
rage on honest voters that is consum-
mated by the authority having final
Judgment in the case is democratic
victory. Chicago journal.
ET5- Owing to this kind Of filching and
grabbing the appropriations of this
first session of the economical demo-
cratic congress already exceed the
appropriations Of the last session Of
the ''billion dollar" congress. The

gress will not be heard on the demo
cratic stump this campaign except
among the most ignorant and most
bigoted of democratic audiences.-De-

EECongressman Holman, Of Indiana,
who has posed as the democratic watch

WThere are enough democrats IN
congress one would suppose to make
sure of quorum of their own. But
when horse race or baseball game is
on hand there is no holding sufficient
number of them to do business. II
would be very simple, fair, constitu-
tional procedure for Speaker Crisp to
count the republicans who are in their
seat attending to business and make a
quorum. But that is not to be thought

damage to railway property, destruc-

farm buildings, machinery, live stock
