The ready retort of the IJlalne Repub licans te the great Independent revolt which found expression in New Yerk yesterday will be an appeal te the experi ence of 1872, when the defection of Sumner and Bshurz, Grccleynnd l'al iner, Trumbull nnd Curtln, Ohase mid Tipton, nnd hundreds of nble Republican leaders made no visible Impression en the fortunes of their party. Hut the circumstances nre very different. Then the Independent Republicans led off, named their candidates, nnd the great Democratic party tied te a Republican faction. New It is the organized Demo cratic party, with its millions of voters, that makes the nominees, layfl down the platform, invites nnd commands the Bupportef the dissatisfied Republicans. This is putting the herse before the cart nnd no such awkward nnd inconsistent arrangement ns thnt of 1S7I2 was. As the campaign progresses thenatute of the existing relations of parties and of men with them will come te be better understood ; and the significance of yes terdny's work will be mere clearly recognized. Then it will be seen t hut the wave which has started in New Yerk has strength te spread all ever th country. The rovelb of twelve veais ase undoubtedly loosed party ties, but the conviction then was net nearly se Keuernl us new thai the Republican party had finished its work and must no longer cumber thu ground. The revolt has developed into a revolution. Penienal integrity and administrative reform are Issues which are fundamental and which concern and quicken the ap prehension of every individual voter. It is understood that the Democracy stand for these things, and that the Republi cans de net. The wayfaring man though a feel can read it thus. Such an appeal reaches men of all shades of political faith and in every walk of life ; neccs sarily it must lese some votes te Clove Cleve laud ; there is a Democratic element, perhaps, which en account of Blaine's character will prefer him ; let them go, their places will be tilled with better men. The Democratic party does net lower lt3 standard in welcoming te the r.iuks its old time fees ; it does net "creek the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may fellow fawning," as it did in lb72 It made Cleveland its nominee because he was a true Democrat, in principle and in methods ; and who Is for that will find welcome and hospitality in our ranks, and a chance te fight for better govern mental policies -- - Needless Werry. The New Yerk Sun, whose Demo cratic afllliatien is of recent date, is disturbed by the suggestion that thu dyed in the wool Democrats were swerved towards Cleveland by the thought that he would poll the votes of fresh recruits te their party, and went net solely influenced te his nomination by the fact that he would be acceptable te the present members of their part). The isun should ba gratitled rather than displeased by tills evidence of the liberality of the party. It should net wish te close the party doers after it entered itself ; or be inclined te belt be cause there were indications of a tee free welcome by Its new party associates te ever one who stands ready te accept new the party platform and candidate. The sensible desire of the party, as ex pressed at Chicago, was te enlarge its voting force, and te uulte with the half of the voting population which it h.u if late years embraced, an additional num ber te ensure the political control of tins country which It is Its aim te secure. The Sim sjtitns te nsad te ba informed that the object of the Democratic ergani zatien is net simply te pronounce solid political opinions and nominate geed ineuforeliko te enforce them, but te elect Us candidates that they may have an opportunity te give practical eff'c1. te its principles. Any movements m.ule by it towards securing the success of U ticket, which does uet compromise 'in principles, Is a wise and honest one ; and if Governer Cleveland, a sound Deme crat, was nominated en a sound Il'iui cratlc platform, under the belit-f ! that he would attract the largest support te his party outside of its exist lng membership, It was a wise m ive incnt ; and If the Sun cannot see it it 1 1 bad for its reputation for sagacity ; and suggests that its eyes are troubled b a cataract. Auy accessions te ils ranks from the Independent Republicans that Gov. Cleveland's reputation as a wise governor may bring them, will Iw ro re ro celved by the Democracy with equaulm Ity and satisfaction. Tins account which we print of the phenomenal wheat crop of 1SSI, in Liu caster county, is significant of much mere than it ) cur of prosperity for Ihe local farmer. It proves that, under ravorable conditions, our land has lest none of Its wheat producing qualities by the cultivation of tobacco. The un exampled yield of wheat is of course due te a rare concurrence of favorable circum stances, but that It is possible shows conclusively the steady improvement of our soil, for all agricultural purposes, under the clese cultivation of tobacco fnrmlng; and It Is a most forcible an swer te the croakers who have foretold the waste of Lancaster lauds under the aystem which has enriched the farmers of this generation, who Improved upon the methods of their fathers. Mn. Wallaei: Is In the far West, en business nnd for recreation. He will take no direct part in the organization of the Democratic national committce ; Penn sylvania anil Mr.Wullace's views will be represented Jn the conference te morrow by Mr. E.A.131gler, son of Governer Rig. ler and member of the executive com mittce of the party in this stute ; he is u very level-Jieuded young man. Should the comraltlee exercise ita wisdom by calling Mr. Wallace te ita head, he will doubtless net tarry long in the West; hla direction of the canvass would un doubtedly stimulate an uctlve campaign till along the line. Pennsylvania, Ohie nnil Mnssa chusetts will be the doubtful states ; net 'New Yerk, 2ew Jersoy nnd Connecticut. TiinitE nre n great many geed signs that the Democrats of the country nre mere anxious te carry the election in November than in August. The brass band and torchlight business can be profitably supplanted with solid work. TiiBiVcfe J5ra is new saying about the Independents of Its party just whnt the Regulars have se often said about it. The best answer te its " arguments " is te be leuml in its own files, at which It will gnaw in vain. Tin: picturesque English of Jehn A. Legan's letter leaves no room te doubt who wrote it. liven the fascluntlng Mrs. Legan was net allowed te contri bute some choice gems of thought.

Cediuau, of Mass., the presi deut, made a riugiug address, in the ceuwe of whiohhe said : " Fer myself I de net hesitate te say that the defeat of Mr. Illaiue should be oempassed by all houer able means. It seems te me thatthecause of geed government, of pure politics, of Amcricau character, requires it te be dene. There Is but one way te de it, aud that way must ba obvious te us all. We desire llrft of all a president that is Incor ruptible, and if, besides that, he is able and independent, se much the belter. We have uet far te go te find a man who is all this It has been said recently .by sumo of the sunnertcrs of Mr. Illaiue that no Djmecratlc president was ever able te resist the pressure of party managers. It may perhaps be true, and pjssiblj sonie Republican presidents have been open te the same criticism ; but thore is certaiuly oue Democratic official who has shown the ability te successfully resist all pres sure that would interfere with the faith ful performance of official duty, and he is new govorner of New Yerk aud the Democratic candidate for president of the Puited States a man whose utterauces aud whose acts, whether as mayor or governor, have proved that he holds office net for personal cuds but as a trust for the people, whose servant hels. As a life luug opponent of the Democratic party, aud with no lutcutieu new of becoming idcnt.fied with It, I will yet rejoice, and I will say. that it is fortunate fjr the ro re ro publie that at a crisis wben the party which has been thi party et progress halts and is uufalthful, thu party which we have b.'eu accustomed te distrust, shows wise intelligence and civie cmr,i,re. It has risen te its great opportunity, and these Republicans who would make eflcctual opposition te a candidate they believe te be unfit cau, with no less of self respect, without surrendering a conviction, aud iu the exercise of the highest politic vl ex pediency, give their votes for the reform governerof New Yerk."

J F. Clailin. of Illi nois, said there was a strong Cleveland element among Republicans in the West. President Seelye, of Amhert, also made an address, in which he r aid be was uet pre pared te join the Democrats, but was in favor of cheesing a separate candidate.

Thi parameuut issue of the presidential eloctiea of this year is moral rather than pnlitieal. It cjuierus the national honor and character.und honor of administration rather than geuural policies of goveru ment, upon which thu platforms of the two parties de net essentially diiler. Ne positieu taken by enn platform is seriously traversed by the ether. Ileth ovideutlj contemplate a general agreement of public opinion upeii subjectH which have been lung In controversy and indicate an un willingness te declare upon ethor nud car dinal questiuns, viuws which in the present condition of opinion might seriously dis turb thu parties within thoraselven. Par ties, indeed, new cohero mainly by habit aud tradition, aud emeu the great issues which have divided thorn have bjen largely settled, the most vital pjlitical activity has berni the endeavor of jjoed citizeus m both parties te adjust thorn te living issues and te make thorn clfeottve agencies of political progress and referm, The hulls pensable necessity of this oeurfco has leug been apparent, for In a true el profound puace ut home aim abroad the most threatening national peril is an insidious political oerruptlou, a mercenary and demoralizing spirit and tendency, the result of what Is well doseribed by Houater Hear, of Massachusetts, as " the shiimeluss doctrine that the ttue way by which powersheuld be gained In the republic is te bribe the poeplo with iuu emces oreaieu ler ttielr isoivlce, and the true end for which it should beused when gained Is the promotion of selllsh umbltien nnd the gratification of personal rovengo." Hut thlsdoetrino naturally has produeed results whleh are still mero alarmlug. The corrupt spirit and tondeney have se rapidly doveloped that they seek political power, uet only te gratify nmbl tleu and roveuge, but te promte prlvate gain. They doeido appeals te the public couseloiico, defend thu soiled reputations of publle men by the bold assortlen that all publle men are equally guilty, dcolaie that Buceewi In obtaining eminent position dispeses of overy imputation aud ausplolen of wrong doing, nnd.desplslng nil practical measures te reform the system of official patiouage which festors dishonest politics, make a great party nominally respouslble for prolengod nnd mouBtreua fraud, nnd proclaim that it Is the duty of overy oltizen who, for great and bonetl benetl bonetl eout euds, has habitually supported a party te regard the success of the party at an election, without WjJ l 'f AlmrnMur of !, wllOIU it SClCCtS a lt executive agenU, te be a supreme national necessity.

The Republican party llrst sprang from a raerai sentuueuc. It was the party of p ! tical ruenlity and of personal liberty. It appealed directly te the oeuscience of the citizeu Hat, like all pvrtles, it was a plittcil agency ret te be worshiped, but t' be carefu'ly held te the spirit and purp '. en whic'i in 1 for which It was erjan.ed. "I ! net knew," said Mr. Seward thirty vears a.e, wheu ln left the Whig arty te Jein the Republic in; "1 de net knew that i' vvul alwtjs ei oveti long preserve its courage, its tnilera tieu and its consistency. If i: shall de se it will secure and save the country. If It, tee, shall beceme unfaithful, as all pre- ceding parties have done, it will, without sorrow and regret ou my part, parish as they are perishing, and will give place te another truer and better one." This reasoning must net be forgotten. It is with profound conviction of its wisdom that Republtcvus faithful te tbe-.i pvrty, but holding with the great Republican fathers that political morality and purity of administration are mere pri.cieas than farty. are mire consumed te oppiie the lepublicau presidential njTvnat.eu :u thu icurest of what they beheve te be pure republicanism, of the public welfare, and of the honor of the Amcricau name The Republican nomination has for the time superseded all ether issues by raising the question of official honesty. This question cannot be avoided except upon the plea that the official character of the candidates need net be considered, and that in order te sccute a party i rcsideut the members of a party ought te vote for any candidate who has been regularly nominated. ThUisapti,a be yond which party madness cannot go. Ac quiescence in it wjiild require the stir render et the self respect et every voter. Tnore could be no candidate se unfit that this plea would net deraand his support, and Republican success justified bv au ar gument which defies the public cmsciouce would be the overthrew of the vital prin ciple of the party and show that t'-e spirit and character which created its great traditions are rapidly perishing. Upen the piaetical questions of tar d" and finance, and ether qaesti ins up)i which both parties arc divided v ithin themselves, we also are divided In epiu m. We Khali vete, therefore, in the choie of represen tatives aud ether ofihers asc mling te our individual opinions of tticir p jlitieal views and their personal character. Divided en ethor questions, we nre tinted in the oenviotion that the foundation of ofilce and honor should ba pure, thit t'ie Wheat oince in ttie country shnill In filial by a man of absolutely uasuspceted i .tfgrity. As thore is no dutmetive usue upon public policy presented for the considera tionef thecuuutry, ttie chwictcr of the candidate becomes of the hiith'st .mper tauce te all citisens who de uet held that part victory should be secured at any cast. While the Republican nomination presents a cand.date whom we cannot support, the Democratic party prcsontHena whose narae is the sjnenym of political oeurago and honesty and of ad miuistrative reform He Ins discharged every eiuctai trut with a s de regard te the public weifare aud with a just disre gard of mcre pirtisan and peliti al ad .uuiki wmcu witn tne applause nnd coulldeue of both parties have raised him from the chief oxccutive administratis of a great elty te that of a jjieat state.

The history of the presidential cam paien of 19S4 will contain no mero thrilling chapter than that which rcoetds the midnight march of Legau's lettcr of acceptance. The great cemmander had prepared with tbe utmost care this magnU ficeut body of four thousand words, all of the most cxpensive character, aud at mid night of Monday ,Ch;cage time facing ene hour after miduiglit ou the Atlantic siope he started it forth te dovastate the land. Legan himself was moving in a contrary direction, nn his way te cukindle the tumultuous West, but he trusted the letter te the wires. Fer hours and hours en that memorable night the great army of adjectives was moving aciess the oeuutry. It was divided into detachmenta, with true military fere sight, each detachment occupying a single wire j but as the night advanced and the lines became obstructed by tbe heavy artillery of Leiran's monstrous psrieds, the columns fell into confusion. It wa no longer a compact letter, it was a dolorous dorannemont of enltaphh that began te stragi'le into the nowepaper offices at about the time of going te presB. The unex. peeted attack had doubtless been wtii planned, bu. time aud circumstances wero against it. Iiiame's dehbornte advaoce had carried the columns of the newspapers, but uight editors are net te be taken by surprise. Time, the telegraph and the blue pencil together wero tee much for Legau's letter, aud the fragments of it that reached the publle yesterday were but a melauchuiv remuaut of the proud array of rhetorical extravagances that started out no gaily.
