LANCASTER DAILY FNTJilLlUENCEB. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, lfc82. ILancaster intelligencer. fcATDEDAY EVENING, OCT. 28. 1882. Independence us a VIrtHC. A notable thing in the political move ments iu Xew York ia the fact that William 11. Grace, the mayor of New York, who was elpclf-d to his position a? tbo nominee of the Democratic party, 'vho is now a member of tbe Democratic .ate committee, and who claims to be a Democrat, ia engaged in inaugurating and supporting a so called Independent Citizens1 movement which puts up a candidate in opposition to the nominee of all the Democratic organizations of the city. Mayor Grace's candidate, Allan Campbell, is the present controller of the city, also appointed as a Demo crat. The body of the vote which Mr. Campbell can get is that of the He publican patty, which puts up no candi date. He will get no other votes except from independent Democrats, like Mayor Grace and Controller Campbell them selves, who do not respect the party nom inations. This action ou the part of these Democratic officials Is remarkable because it is in opposition to the general line of the independent movements of today, which run against Republican and not Democratic candidates. Gen. erally the Democratic party line is. solid. It is further remarkable because it is made t a time when the three Democratic organizations of New York city, which have been at variance, have united in the support of one ticket, their nominee for mayor being taken from the ranKsof the organization with which Mayor Grace and Control ler Campbell have sympathized. These men, therefore, stand out from their comrades and refuse to countenance Democratic union. That there is no reasonable cause for their refusal is made most probable by the fact that they are thus isolated in their positions ; and that they, of all men, should be willing to take their stand alone against a party which has given them their otlices is certainly very strange. They can justify it if they can show good cause for their rebellion against their party, for we are of those who be lieve that a party cannot claim the sup port of its members to its ticket if it is not a good one. Parties should be taught, by the discrimination of the party voters, that they cannot nominate, bad candidates and expect their elec tion. The duty of the citizen to his country is above his allegiance to his party. The Republican party having been long in power, its leaders have, come to think that the voters of their party are under their absolute control ; but they are being taught their mistake this year all over the country by the independent movements of their former followers. The Democratic parly, hav ing been long out of power,ison ils good behavior, and it is generally nornr-aUntr men who are unobjectionable. It has done so in New York city, the unani mous testimony being that the Demo cratic candidate for mayor is emi nently fit for his place, and Mayor Grace does not base his opposition to hira on any personal objection. Wo understand his claim to be that mu nicipai clllcer ahouM not be selected on party li!"3. Evci :f this pos'lion should 1 sound, it is -apparent that Mavr Grace lax:c3 an i.i.ti. .pj-h'iis moment to declare it, wueii the party uoni'urvs are untfxcsit.ioua,ole a.n.1 when he and jus candidates ate occupying dices i which they wore chosou us warty c.vlidates. He croi lur-l'y claim that, theie is any thing in the present administration of the offices of mayor of New York and ontroller of New York which shows tile inexpediency of party nominations, for he can hardly bo so eager to condemn himself and the candidate for mayor whom ha presents to tho voters of the oity. Evidently Mayor Grace and Con toller Campbell are without proper jus tification for their rebellion against the nominations of their party and they annot claim the applause for their in dependence which is now generally ready for independent movements. Indepen dence in the supporting of a party is not in itself a virtue. It is the good cause which exists for independence which makes it commendable : if no such cause exists independence is folly or worse. There are some independent move ments among Democrats throughout tho country to-day which we consider laud able, because they are justified by some Tory sound reasons. In the Schuylkill judicialjdistrict in this state, for instance, the Democratic convention refused to renominate Judge Pershing for judge, although he is a good Democrat and a most excellent judge. That was wrong. It was a crime against the party and the state. Good judges ought to be re-elected whatever their politics ; and a good Democratic judge can never be refused the vote of a good patriotic Democrat when he is a candidate for re-election. The refusal of the Democratic convention of Schuyl kill to renominate Judge Pershing was utterly disgraceful to it, and the failure of the Democrats of Schuylkill county to elect him as an independent candidate would, in our judgment, be very discred itable to their good sense and patriot-" ism. In Tennessee there is independent Democratic movement, caused by the failure of the regular Democratic con vention to support the measure adopted by the Legislature of the state, with the approval of its creditors, to redeem its indebtedness. That is a praiseworthy movement, for there is nothing that will justify a demand upon a Democrat to oppose the preservation of state or na tional credit The national platform of the party pledges the party to the preser vation of that credit, and the patriotism and honesty of the voter likewise pledges him to it. A contrary demand makes good cause for rebellion ; and rebellion against party founded on good cause is the right and duty of the citizen. But little more than a week remains for tho Democrats to prepare themselves for the final and overwhelming assault that is to carry a Democratic adminis tration into power. The result of the election cannot be considered a matter ot' doubt. The signs of the times point unerringly to the election of Patti son and the entire Democratic state ticket, whilst large gains in .our legisla tive and congressional representation are promised. Even in this assurance of certain victory, however, no Democrat should allow his ardor to cool nor relax hiseffoits. On the eve of triumph is not the time for lethargy or indifference. A cheer, a dash and the victory is won. Lst every hour that remains between now and election be devoted by earnest Democrats to stirring up the Democratic vote in their immediate neighborhood. See that every Democratic ballot is brought to the polls and cast for Patti son and reform, and Beaver and the cor rupt Cameron machine will be snowed under such a majority as has never been known in this state. Jui'itkk Pluvius deserves a vole of thanks for the courteous treatment he ac corded the Bi-Centevnial people. Billy Maiionc is said to be as stiugy as he is shrewd.

" A wisi: economy must bo cnfoiccd iu fie public expense. Proluso expenditure by govei nment. is not only burdensome in itself, but generates in officials a spirit of profligacy which permeates even private life. Extravagance breeds extravagance. Every useless expenditure ctcatcs an ex cuse, if it docs not cause a necessity, for further waste." From Puttifon'x Common wealth Club speech. It appeals that Sullivan and Madden who have been running an athlotic show conspicuous only for its mediocrity are not dwelling in that peace and unity which should characterize the relations of a champion pugilist and his trainer. Some im.Minh:ist.iiuliug with the Boston Boy has caused Madden to leave tho or ganization. This is a sad Mate of affairs, but the public will bieathc easier when it is infoimed that Mr. Sullivan has substi tuted some one else to knock around in place of the irate trainer.

Fifteen Thousand Men lu Line Grand Climax to the rour-Day Series of HI Centennial Pageant. The loveliest of Indian summer suns had scarcely shone its rosy faco above the housetops Friday morning before Ph'ila riclphia's streets were thronged with troops of soldiers, preparing for tho mili tary parade, which so appropriately ended the fit-Centennial celebration. The civic display which opened the carnival ; the parade of the trades : the illuminated his torical mysteries, and the big procession of Knights Templar wero all thrown in tho shade by the vcteraus, militiamen aud cadets who aroused the enthusiasm of the multitude along tho lino of march Fri day. Hours betoro tho procession moved, the struggle for standing room on Broad, Chestnut and Market streets began, and the perspiration which trickled down the faces of tho policemen showed how energetically they were work ing to keep the crowd behind the curbstones. As a rule these efforts were successful, but every now and then a mob would como rushing out of some cross street, sweeping everything before it, until tho middle of one of tho more roomy thoroughfares was reached. A more chaotic scene than Broid street presented at 9 o'clock would be difficult to imagine, and for a time it looked as though the military could not bo straightened out. Regiments of soldiers marched and coun termarched through tho spectators ; pieces of artillery were drawn hither and thither without any apparent reason ; straggling cavalrymen were hemmed in by the crowd ; mounted officers galloped about, shouting iucomprehensiblo orders, and tuneful and untunetul brass bands rambled from placo to place,, increasing the general racket. Innumerable skirmishes took place between citizens and the police, and one communistic chap was arrested for begging the podblaco to demolish the stand of the aristocrats ou Broad .street and by that action get more standing room for themselves. Although the horses used by the privates in tho parade were as a rule far Irom fiery, there was one that mustered up enough of courage to ruu away and clear a swath through the crowd in less than it could have done by the entire police forco. Tho rider, who was thrown, is a soldier and a brave man under ordi nary circumstances, but, ho declined to remount when his desperate Pegasus was brought back. Just as the military com mands were getting into some sort ot order tho Baltimore colored Invincibles, followed by a horde of wildly enthusiastic friends, swept along like a cyclone, car rying men, women and children before tiicra and disordering everything. So stunning was tbo appearance of the Balti more Invincibles in their bearskin shakos and so seductive were the strains or " The torpedo aud whale," as played by the band, that fourteen of tho colored waiters of a leading hotel rushed out as the Grays passed, mingled with the crowd and to the despair of their employer did uot return to work. Although some of tho regiments did not turn out as strong as was expected the companies were fairly filled, and what was laeking in numbers was made up by excellence of movements and their sol dierly Scaring. The soldiers were all kindly received by the spectators, but tho most frcipient and geuerous hursts of ap plause were lavished on the First regi ment, t'to City troip ami two or three fine regiments from tho western p-ttt of the state. At some points' however, the multitude were only enthusiastic on tho ambulance loads of maimed veterans and stands of tattcicd battle-tl.igs in the lines of tho Graud Army of the Republic. Tho parado was seen at its hist on North Broad street, whom tho troops wero reviewed by Governor Hoyb from :i3tn!il at the intersection of Gi -.ml avenue A large number of distinguished poisons were on thi .st.tnJ with the governor, am'-ngthem Governors Ludlow, of New Ytik, Littlrfieid, of lthodo Island and II ill. of Delaware, while Col. Prink E-h-lem-iu, of this city, was among tho staff officers. The stand and its contents were photographed, and then a mild secsation was caused by a prophetic colored man who, when ordered off tho stand, said, "Gemraen, please -alts, doan put me offeu de stage :fo I'so Ink do governo's hand, kasc mebho do olo mau'll nebbar tot eyes ou a 'Publican govcrno' hcah after di; heah y?ah." Tho plea was a failure and as he parsed out his mo'.e uicuts were accelerated by th? storekeep ers. About this time the head of the pro cession canto up, but the stand was s-o crowded that the oiliceis in the procession could not .see tho governor and many of them did not salute him. His guidon was placed near him ou tho street and after that his excellency smiled complacently as each officer waved a sword at him. A lew drops of rain fell and the sky looked as though water would drop iu bucketsfull before long. " Wouldn't it be a good thing to get an um brella for the governor?" inquired a col ored matt, who evidently feared tho ruin of his excellency's shining plug hat. " Umbrella be hanged," replied the officer addrcssctl ; " the governor is a soldier and water won't pkaze him." This asser tion proved true, for although tho rain patted on the gubernatorial tile until it looked like a .plush stovepipe, its owner sat in his corner until the last straggler of the grand army passed before him. Tho procession, which was two hours and thirty-live minutes passing a given point, was composed of C.2j7 Pennsylva nia militiamen, 1,002 members of the National Guard of other states, 456 cadets and 0,729 veterans of tho Grand Army of the Republic, making in all 14,504 per sons. A Fanny Scramble. The Th ird brigade, commanded by Gen Siegfried, and in which Company C, o. Columbia, marched thirty-five men, had formed at an early hour at Broad and Catharine streets, and it fell into lino at 11 o'clock precisely. It was made up of five regiments and three batteries, and its totalf strength is 2,78:5 men, of which number 1,715 marched in patadc. Its appearance was not varied by any bright or contrast ing colors, as was that of some of tho other brigades. All tho'nieu turned out in their simple bluo uniforms. Company after compauy moved past, all displaying rijjid training by their time and way of march ing. Two regimental bands and three drum corps led tho different regiments. Wncn the brigade halted before the civio grand stand on Btoad street, above Race, thero was an amusing display, which lasted fifteen minutes. It was not, however, on tho piogrammo. A woman on tho stand tossed a rosy apple to one of tho privates. Immediately there was a shower of all descriptions of eatables, aud tho ofii cers permitted the men to compete in a generalscramblo. Sandwitches and fruit were lavishly tossed from all- sides and caught by the agilo soldiers. When in some spots the supply of thing of an edible nature gave out empty lunch boxes and baskets, cunningly tied up so as to give tho impression that they were full, were thrown down, and after a good deal of pushing and hustling were secured by a more or less lucky hero, whoso discomfit ure on fiuding tho lack of contents was bailed with a roar of laughter. Not all the missiles were aimed straight. A dignified captain, who was viewing thatussel from a distance, was struck in the face by a ham .-randwicb, whilo a boiled egg -which had not been in tho water long enough to harden, smashed itself on the back of a veteran's head and emptied itself down his back. It was noticed that the men who did most work got the least proven der. Dropping his bayonet, a belted war rior started across the street after a'n apple which was bowling merrily along in the direction of an nuathorized small boy. The apple flattened out under the boot of the hunter, who lost bis balance ana lcll while the small boy, being iu at the death carried off the game'. In tho middle of all the sports the diutn beat and the men were compelled to .'all into line, eyeing with a mourufull look the bread and slices of pumpkin pie which they had not time to secure. Heaver' IJrlgade. The second brigade, containing 2,300 men, was commanded by General James A. Beaver, who rode a daik bay horse with a cropped tail and proud step, aud, despite the absence of the right leg, he rode with grace and app irent ease. An orderly mounted upon a black horse rode with tho officer ot the staff carrying the general's crutches. All along tho line he received applause, to which ho occasionally responded by a wave of the gloved hand or a slight incli nation of the head. At the custom house several bouquets were thrown at tho can didate and the applause was louder than at any point along the lino of parade On Broad street, near Callowhill, considerable amusement was created by a man jumping over the rope which restrained the crowds from enctoaching upon the space assigned to the parado and shouting in stentorian tones : " lloorah fcr Jineral Beaver !" The commander of the brigade did not even turn his head in that direc tion, although he was within a dozen yards of the enthusiastic man, and, amid the jeers of the hundreds within hearing distance, the enthusiast shoved his way back through the ctowd, remarking : " Well, I'll be switched of I don't vote lor Stewart now." Besidos the militia was the immense turnout of the Grand Army of the Repub lic, many posts from outsido tho city being present. At night the Graud Army gave a camp fire at ludustrial Art hall, and a reception at the Academy of Fine Aits. Tho Academy of Music was filled in every part in the evening to hear a coucert by a chorus of 1200 girls from tho public grammar schools, under the auspices of tho board of public education. Addresses were made by Disttiot Attorney Gcorgo S. Graham, E. C. Knight aud Governor lloyt. The Ui Cdutenuial association, iu the Uuiou League building, gave a reception to the distinguished guests in the city. Many prominent people were prcscut. ki-ci:ntknxiai. fjgukkm.
