On Tuesday last the Independ
ent Republicans met In convention
in Mew York and adopted an ad
dress. tQ„Uie independent voters of
tbe country, the concluding portion
of which we give below. Tbe con
vention was largely attended by a
number of prominent men, and an
organisation was effected looking
forwsrd to setivb work during the
campaign. The address shows that
they are in earnest in their deter
mination to detent Blaine.
Wbitf .Uie Republican nomina
tion presents a party whom we can
not support, the Democratic party
presents one whose namo is the
synonym of courage and honeBly,
and,of administrative political re
form. He has discharged every
official trust with sole regard to the
public welfare and with just disre
gard of mere partisan and politieal
advantage which, with tbe applause
and confidence of both paities,
have raised him from the chief ex
ecutive administration of a great
city to that of a great State.
His unreserved, intelligent and
sincere support of reform in the
eivll service has firmly established
that reform in the State and cities
of New Yoik, and his personal
convictions, proved by hiv official
acts, more decisive than any possi
ble platform deolaratious, are a
? guarantee that in Its spirit and in
ts letter reform would be enfor
ced in the national administration.
His high sense of duty, his abso
lute and unchallenged official integ
rity, bis Inflexible courage in resis
ting party pressure and public out
cry, his great experience in the de
tails of administration, and his com
manding executive ability and in
dependence are precisely the quali
ties which tbe political situation
demands In tbo chief executive offi
cer of the government, to resist
corporate monopoly on the one
hand, demagogue communism on
the other, and at homo and abroad,
without menace or fear, to protect
every right of American citizens,
and to respect every right of friend
ly States by making political mor
ality and private honesty the basis
of constitutional administration.
He is a Democrat who is happily
free from all associations with the
fierce party difTeienoes of tbe Blave
ry contest and whoso UnancLl
views arc in harmony with those of
the best men in both parties, and
coming into publio prominence at
a time whan official purity, cour
age and character are of. chief im-
portanoe, presents the qualities
and promise which the independent
voters desire and which the great
body of Republicans, believing
thoso qualities to be absolutely in
dispensable in the administration
of government at thiB time, do not
find in the candidate of their own
party. Such Independent voters
do not propose to ally themselves
iiiextrioably with any parly. Such
Republicans do not propose to
abandon the Republican party nor
to merge themselves iu any other
party.
But they do propose to aid in de
feating tbe Republican nomination,
which, not for reasons of exped-
ienev only, but for high moral and
patriotic oonsldcratious, with a
due regard for the Republican name
and for tbe American character,
was unfit to be made. They desire
not to evade the propor responsi
bility of Amcricau citizens by de
clining to vote, aiid they desire
also to mako tne!r votes ns effee
tive as possible for an.honest, and
pure, and wise administration,
