WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1604
1872 nnd 1884.
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.

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

states ; net 'New Yerk, 2ew Jersoy nnd

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.

Chas. It. Cediuau, of Mass., the presi

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."

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

two parties de net essentially diiler. Ne
positieu taken by enn platform is seriously

opinion upeii subjectH which have been

willingness te declare upon ethor nud car

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

the true end for which it should beused

remorseless despotism. 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

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

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

of the well-known firm of ship brokers at

upset just nbove his head by ene of the
careless artists who are new engaged in the
painting or the olevated railway structure
at that plase. His silver gray, brand-new
summer suit, from his Panama hat down te
his pateut leather sheea, iu the twinkliug

drenched completely by the cataclysm of
red toad, tiirpcutiue aud iiusccd oil. Men
jumped trem thu sidewalk, women
dodged into doerwajs, bootblacks

at the unfortunate gentleman as be
passed hurriedly down Old Slip te
his office, looking us if he had been " keel

house, or possibly been interviewiujj Mr.
Jehu L. Sulltv.au en the tompara-ice quia quia
tlen with bare knuckles. He had, in tact,
brcn " painted red," nud he looked like
it. "I taw tbe contractor or his foreman
about the matter," said Mr. Watsen, aud
he requested me te be quiet about it, and
that all would be made right, etc If
temetluug is uet deuu immediately I shall
take legal steps toward getting satisfaction,
ier tue manner in wmcu this work has
beeu and is new bciug executed is an out
rage. Yeu cannot tell whether the daub
ers are painting the structure or the stroet
as tbe paint is cquady bespattered en both.
Come and sce my clothes," he said, aa he
escorted the reperter te tbe back of the
store. " I shall preserve them." They
were "laid out" carefully coat, pants and

tifully in daubs, blotches and streaks of
bright red, which color was in strong
contrast te the light gray of the clothes.
" My tailor was proud of thorn, and they

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.

The crop reports from ever the country
show that " the outlook for all kinds of
