The red tiag is waving, and the days of the corrupt machine are numbered Boston Globe. There are many Republicans who see in the present candidate of their party none of the solid aualities of judgment sad prudence waica aaouia oe poeeesisa by a possible ruler of a Nation, and none of that soupoiout honor which ought to be expected in a nubile man. These Republicans are deeply disgusted with toe result of the Chicago Convention, aad some of them hare already de clared their resolution of opposing a restless ad venturer whose Admlaist ration, if, to the misfortune of the country, he) should be elected Preetdeut, would mean corruption at home and reckless entanglement abroad.

But whetb er the revolt be groat or small, it it groat Mr. hard to see how Blaiae's follow srt can be unprepared tor it. in ii their favorite did all he could to divide the party.

Audaotty, becauee if that e is anything the Re public sauiy needs, ana the putmc conscience demands, it Is reform in high places and the purification of the Gov ernment. Honesty, because Republican candidate have generally worn maska ot Hypocrisy, and in nominating Mr. Blaine the mercenaries have for the flrt time thrown away all masks, tiagrantly defied all claims to principles or reform and put up an out-and-out ticket for spoils only. in to us presenting toe disuaot issue of perpetuating Kepublican machine rule and corruption for the sole benetit of the hungry spoilsmen who have been aept om oy Artnur, tne t onvontiou is entitled to soma oredit It might hare nominated some obacure aonenity like Hayes, aad ooatioued the fane pre lease of patriotism, piety aad reform maequerade. As it Is, no one outride of a lunatic asylum will claim Blaiae or Logan to be rivil-serviee reformers, or anything else exoept grand marshals of the mnv erttac. It is aow a dear issue: Corruption vs. Beform! ngtoa is aaawered by the RepubUoaa uonvenuon urns: xs, a cmg or m wort. That Mr. Blaine is an abls maa, of great talents and daring, and still Setter popularity wun nit party, and at he is oevond doubt a true reoroentative of modern Republicanism, If not its idol, make the issue thus pre sented ail tne more pregnant, for nofore the canvass 1 fully opened it will be clear to the plainest understanding that Jamas u. Blaine represents not only the machine of the RepubUoaa party nut toe demoralising ana corrupt ing power of Wall street, the money interests, the monopolies, corporation. and all protected, privileged, special All that is reprehensible and baa in our demoralised political system will naturally rally to hit tupport. ill oe oe aeieaea r That is clearly in the hand of DomeIf tbe Democratic candidate for the Presidency should be precisely what Mr. Blaine Is nota man . of the high est judicial mind, the most elevated character and purposes he would doubtless attract the support of many self-respecting Independent Republic ans, carry .New rork and other doubt ful States and be elected. What tha country want Is Beform. To this yearning the Republicans respond by patting forward a man who stands arraigned by his own party as the embodiment of corruptioa ia legislation, demagogiteism in politics and cupidity la affairs. But- Democrat must not over-Mttmste the revulsion in the ranks of the Kepublican rarty at this time. Five months will elapse before the election, aad in that time mneh will be done, to smooth the existing aaperitie. It must b borne in mind that the Republican party twice elected urant couatea in naves oy iraud, ana elected Gartiekt. And, however bad Blaines reutotiosactoyj. hischarGrant, Hayes or Garfield. iieatocratte prudence ana natty will lead to Mr. Blaine's orfe4. roti Eaqle. ladepsndeats on Trial. The charge of insincerity sometimes made against the Independent Republicans has been due to the readfaaat ith which, in their natural aJfeetio for their old party, they have allowed themaeires to oe imposed upon by mine promises of reform aad to be induced to support undesirable candidates. Their prejudice against the Democracy bat prompted them to trust men they have known to be untruat worthy rather than to change the character of the AUramistratioa. Ther hare heretofore had some ex cuse for temporizing with their own eonsdeace because their party conventions have worn a matk and bays put forth sinners in the disguise of saints. But, iathe nomination of Blaiae aad Imogen, there It no attempt to assume tbe semblance of virtue, and the honest element of the Republican patty, instead of being hoodwinked, has been defied. It la now dearly the policy a well aa the patriotic duty of the Independent ttv a vi swytmaaw w wws to tot their porpoee aad without fear.

These can aot be effected if Blaine aad Uaran should be elected. Neither can they be made probable if those candidates thould be defeated without the open, undisguised, vlgoroui efforts of honest Independent Bepublioaas. Ayowed and orgaalxed Republican apposition to Blaine snd Logan is the teed from which alone a Future and Mrifled RepobHena party can spring.

Y. World, e Samuel J. TUatm. The political career of Samuel J. Tilden is closed. "Whatever doubt existed M to his intentlcni has been dispelled by the letter which he gave to tbe public yesterday. Further consideration of his name in connection with the Pvesideacy would be ntserarraatoi. Friend aad foe alike must rocogniso tin retirement as final, avnd applaud tha sincerity aad fraokattt wili which he hat made hit determination known. He has occupied for maay yean a commanding and at the same time a peculiar position la Ameriotva politics. Never an office-seeker, he became by the irresistible logic of event Governor of New York, and three years later, by the undoubted choice) of the) people, he was designated at President, -fly what corrupt baraeum aaad shajmelea subversions of law at was deprived of the high office to which, in the popular sense he had been chosen, and hit defeated opponent installed therein, It it not now necessary to recar. Tbt increased esteem in which he is held by hit countrymen, and the nntnlnaity of his party In the deeire that bt should one more lead it in a National campaign are tbt significant proofs of popular indorsement of hit course, aa extraordinary as they must be gratifying. With no vulgar aaahiuoa to aattsfy, assured of the rectUtade of his purposes and the patriotism of hi acta, not puffed up with Usee of kit own superiority, aad never, at fee hit ao wrileekL dwarfing into a psraoaal gvievanoo an act which was the greatest wrong that coakl be perpetrated against, a free people, be hat shown that ho could rise above the partisan clamor which would have consigned him to tbe attitude of a disappointed elaimsmt, and command respect as a statesman who looked beyond his owa sdrnAcement. He wilt be honored for this long after hit body shall have been consSfnod to earth, and when the renal conspirators who stifled the popular voice will bt remembered oalv in execration. Mr. TildWs influence on politics has been for good. Not a Democrat in the sense thai thousands of characterless aad avaricious mm are Itoanocrata, hs was rather a follower of Jefferson, whose simplicity and lionty in the ttfairs of Government it was his hihest aim to emulate. He won renown at a smasher of rings, but the thieves whoa be turned out were llemocratic thieves for tbe most part Tammany was secure and defiant matil he led the onslaught upon it. The canal ring, anadt up of Democratic Met Republican adventurers who annually combined to tiespoil the people, melted tway under IN sterajaetiot and Ittlemible virtue of hit admiaiatratioa m Governor. Waal would hare been tha result of hit labor! at Waahington had the will of the people been respected mar be easily imagined. The dewlopanenu of the past four years leave little room for conjecture' as to how much hit services were needed. There would have been such a turning oat of thieves and jobbers a this country has never teen, but which it roust sot era long, if ths people are aver to regain tha power to olMknge their adminttratkm at will. Standing as be does, it a sense, as a continual reminder of the tight of tbe people to rule, a right violated in his person, be will bt an intense ting figure in America aa loar a hb) life it spared. Fully recognizing hfat own physical in ftrmitie. but with a mind unimpaired, he will be ia a posuioa to atimnlate the efforts of the large part of his fellow citizens who cart nothing ior pany, out to whom the pririlage of lf-goem-ntent and the bUtsinjrs of good government are pricelest.
