The "Vindication" Cry.
It must be exceedingly dis
couraging to the Independent to
perceive, as itsaeuteness must nec
essarily perceive, that its persist
ent attempts t.o awaken enthusiasm
for Mr. Blumle by raising the cry
for vindication, are meetiug with
such, utter want of success. The
Independent has attempted a task
which an abler and more resource
ful organ than itself would find im
possible to perform. It is butting
up against the logic of facts, and
is finding that it cannot move
them. Let us briefly analyze some
of these facts. What we shall say
is not prompted by any spirit of
animosity or discourtesy to Mr.
Blumle. When, however, a man
comes before the people asking
their suffrages, and when his plat
form and party organ demand his
election on the ground of vindicat
ing a wrong, it is the privilege and
also the duty of voters to look at
the facts as they are. What we
shall say merely voices the general
sentiment of the people of the
county.
The Independent is ordinarily very
acute,but sometimes it does fatuous
things. Of all the fatuous things
that it has ever done, the most
fatuous was its attempt to serve
Mr. Blumle by publishing in its
columns the bulk of the testimony
taken before the legislative com
mittee of investigation two years
ago. The Independent thought
that by publishing this testimony
it would be made to appear that
Mr. Mullin was as deep in the mud
as was Mr. Blumle in the mire,
and that therefore it was an act of
injustice to give Mr. Blumle's seat
to Mr. Mullin. It is needless to
say that the maintains the
justice of the seating of Mr. Mullin;
but the point which we are wishing
to emphasize in this connection is
the fact that the Independent itself
published testimony which shows
plainly that the canvass conducted
by Mr. Blumle has marked by cor
rupt and illegal methods. The In
dependent was willing to publish
testimony which besmirched Mr.
.Blumle's canvass, in the eagerness
of its desire to do something, if
possible, to injure Mr. Mullin.
The practical net result of the
publication of this testimony has
been to convince nearly every one
that Mr. Blumle, for his part, con
ducted a corrupt and illegal cam
paign. Even those whose strong
partisanship, or those whose gen
eral distrust of the manner in which
legislative contests are often de
cided, has led them to disapprove
of the seating of Mr. Mullin, will
not for a moment contend that Mr.
Blumle conducted an immaculate
campaign, or anything approach
ing to it. Yet to read what the
Independent is printing these days,
one would suppose that Mr.
Blumle has always been absolutely
free from the slightest taint of
political corruption, that liis can
vasses have been a model of all
that the most exacting political re
former could ask. The public
know that all this is simply not
true. The public, even that por
tion of it which is noi friendly to
Mr. Mullin. are aware of the char
acter of the methods used by Mr.
Blumle in his campaigns. The
public know that Mr. Blumle,
using such methods, has twice en
joyed tin' honors and emuluments
of the oilice of Assemblyman. The
general sentiment consequently is
that Mr. Blumle has fared exceed
ingly well, and that it is asking
too much to demand a third term
merely for the sake of ''vindica
tion." Cameron county will
think twice and three times before
it will turn down a man of the
character of Mr. Josiah Howard
merely for the sake of "vindica
ting" a man whose methods of
campaigning are so open to criti
cism as have been those of Mr.
Blumle.
The Democratic Conception of Liberty
In our article commending Mr.
Howard's speech of acceptance we
remarked incidentally that ''the
conception of liberty which the
Democratic party has always cher
ished is that of mere absence of re
straint. This statement has given
offense to one of the Independent's
assistant editors because it was not
properly understood. We did not
say that the Democratic party de
sires the absolute realization of its
conception of liberty, in other
words that it aims to abolish all
forms of restraint. A good Demo
crat is as law abiding as is a good
Republican: and we have no doubt
t hat if Parker should be elected,
peace and order will be maintained.
Thomas Jefferson, while recog
nizing the necessity of government
for the maintenance of order,
nevertheless stood forth as the
champion of liberty rather than of
law. There is greater danger, he
thought, of law overriding liberty
than there is of liberty overturning
| law. He therefore set himself to
keep the functions of government
down to the lowest possible notch
consistent with the demands of
public order. Within certain
limits his principle was that the
less of government there is the
greater liberty there is. He regard
ed government in the light of a re
straint upon liberty, necessary to
some extent, indeed, but still a re
straint. No one can understand
the pi inciples which underlie the
history of the Democratic party
without grasping this fundamental
fact, that the Democratic party—
the party of Jefferson, not of
Bryan—stands for the narrowest
practicable limitations of the
powers and functions of govern
ment.
EDITORIAL fIENTION.
The man who has not patriotism
enough to give up a half day for
the sake of voting without being
paid for his time, is a contemptible
specimen of humankind and is un
worthy of the right to vote.
The man whose political support
can be purchased for half a dollar
with which to buy drinks is as low
down in the scale of humanity as
he can go. There are a few of his
kind in the county and they are
not going to vote for Howard or
for Bardwell.
The Independent has come out
flat-footed against the evil influ
ences of the saloon in social life.
This is commendable, but it
would be more to the point just at
present were it to come out flat
footed against the evil influences
of the saloon in county politics.
Mr. Blumle is either not serious
in professing to be a Jeffersouian
Democrat or else he is ignorant of
the very A. B. C. of Jeffersonian
Democracy. It was the policy of
Jefferson to keep the functions of
government down to the lowest
possible notch, interfering to the
least possible extent with the pri
vate affairs of the people. Such a
socialistic measure as Mr. Blumle
introduced into the last legislature
at Harrisburg would have been de
nounced and repudiated by
CAMERON COUNTY PRESv c , THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1904.
Thomas Jefferson as utterly cut of J
keeping with the true functions of 1
government as understood by aim. (
