The New York Timtn editorially indorses the Hepiiblican bolt in Pennsylvania, saying The Independents have their usion fixed on the beyond, but for the Cotneronians there is no hereafter. Let Don Cameron's cohorts bo routed next November, and they can never be rallied agun ; but the Republican pirty will survive, and the Independent li-adcrs lo ik forwaid to control, which fhall reunite it for new conquests. Senator Mitchell and iiisasso ciatcs apparently look for a regeneration through the defeat of tho Republican party ol I'ennsylvnnia. This contest has a significance broader than a Camoron and anti Cameron fiiht wider even than the liel.l of I'cmisil- vania p ilitic3. It is a fresh embodiment of the tendency which 6hows itself in an us parts of the union, and displays increased vigor at every exhibition of its character and force. It is a protest agani't a system of politics which derives its life blood from the "snods svstein" of disivisiiit; of public offices, and it must perforce tike in the civil scrv.ee reform movement. It is prepanng lor that movement which shall givo it power to defeat parties until it can control them. Another significant thing is tint tho current of this movement which is breaking into channels, is destined to liim the present national adminis tration in itH way wherever it apprar". Tho 'tribune says on tho same subject Looking at tho work of the convention from this distance, wo are not prepared to say that thn course followed is tho easiest which could have bern adopted in tho present party emir gency, but wo must say that the Independents havo not acted without just provocation, and that they have kept their protest within Re publican methods and within the Republican part, and what cH" ct that will havo upon vo crs the State cannot yet bo estimated. Their ticket is in every way equal to that of tho Cameron convention, and in ono way much superior. It w as nominated by tho peo ple and not by a "boss." If it were not for tho question ol its regularity, there can be little doubt that in tho present state of ex aspcration against family rule among the votirsot Pennsylvania, it would receive two Republican votes for eveiy ono cast for tho Cameron ticket.

Was I not right when I told you to always stick to your bush J" He died a few days after, and I had to make my way in tho vvo-ld as best I could. But mv father's words smk deep into my mind, and I never forgot tho experience of tho blackberry party.
