TO THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
The Democratic State Convention vlilcli
convenes at Allentown on next Wednesday
to placo In nomination eandldatcs for tlio
several. Stato offices to lro Toted for at tli6
comlni; fall election will act wisely and dis
play a judicious regard for tlio Inlorcsts of
tlio Common people if 11 nominates for
JndRO of the Supreme Court tlio Hon. W.
Jf. Itnpslier, of Standi Chunk, Pa., a man
In whom Is embodied the essential quallll'
rations necessary for so Important a post
Hon. Democrats who have at heart the
welfare of party cannot help but realize tho
Importance of putting in nomination for an
office which so closely concerns the poor
peoplo, a man whoso every interest goes out
to ttiq common people; such a man will be
found In Hon. W. M. Ttapshcr, who has al
ways been identified with movements tend.
ing to the elevation and betlmrtent of tho
condition of tho masses. Hut not tills
alone, political justice demands tho recog.
nitlon of a candidate from tho solid old
tenth legion which has not been recognized
on the State ticket sinco the days of tlio
late Judgo Asa Packer's nomination for
Governor, twentv or more years ago. In
consideration then of Hie fact that tlio noin
inatlon of Mr. Itapsher would spur the
Democracy on to moio determined and
vigorous action and consequent larger m.v
jorltlcs the duty of the convention Is ap
parent. They will not overlook tlio fact
that tho demand which Issues from tills
section is a spontaneous outburst of sent!
ment which calls for the nomination of a
man who has left corporate monopolies se
verely alone and whose Ideas are modified
to meet tlio contingencies of complicated
questions of law which constantly arise by
virtue of the intricate maimer in which tho
affairs of corporations are conducted. Of
all corporate powers thero are, perhaps,
none more complicated than the authraclto
coal Interests of Pennsylvania, and no class
of laborers liavo felt mpro severely the In
justice of oppression than hayo the coal
miners of this region. Asa matter of hu
man justice then, a man should bo nomin
ated for tho Supreme Judgeship who Is
heart and soul In sympathy with, alid who
understands correctly the dllllcullles of tho
anthracite coal miners, such a person will
be found in lion. W. M. Itapsher, of whom
an anthracite, coal minor once said: "In
such bold and fearless champions of .tho
rights of labor as Itapsher mast the tollers
see their chance and condition in society.
so that even tlioso who are plunged Into
the depths of poverty and oppression may
take courage,"
With all due respect for the candidates
for Supreme Court .Ttulgc wo would ask of
the Democratic State Convention, to con
vene at Allentown on Wednesday, a care
ful, Impartial and logical consideration of
all the facts geographical location, emin
ent fitness of the'Tundldnte and tho ile
mands of the people and we feel confident
that Mr. itapsher will be the nominee of
the Democratic party and the next Supreme
Court Judge.
The demand Is spontaneous and issues
'from tho masses; ai:d the Democracy can
not well disregard It.
The Itepubllcan county meeting at
Maucli Chunk last Saturday was very har
moniously conducted a fact which proyes
'he Republicans to be in good lighting trim
for the coming fall election. Impartial
political observers can not fall to recognize
the fact that the opportunities of the Re
publicans are very encouraging In this coun
ty. This cannot bo disputed.
TitoiniLK is anticipated In tho ranks of
the Democracy unless the old board of
commissioners are renominated. This In
an indisputable truth which every Carbon
county Democrat wilt acknowledge.
failure, to renominate Messrs. Coll and
Arner will be an acknowledgment that the
Hoardlias not fulfilled the pledges mado by
tho Democracy to the peoplo; a consequent
loss to the majority party, will ensue and
HWiinal resait Is obvious. Is it not a fact?
Tins Pennsylvania Prohibitionists In con
vention assembled at Harrisburg tills week,
severely denounces tho Itepubllcan and
Democratic parties for all existing evils In
matters of legislation. Tho Republicans
are denounced as hypocrites for favoring
the submission of a constitutional amend
ment fr the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating beverages. The Democracy es
capes with but little censure, while the
Republicans must bear the brunt of all bad
legislation, A c.
It seems to be the prevailing opinion
with many of our country and metropolitan
contemporaries that tlio Carbon Democrats
go in for unadulterated free trade, nothing
more or less, when tho true facts are that
they only want thorough tariff revision
all reductions being mado on such articles
as affect tlio living of the poor. The Dem
ocratic National Convention of 188-1 prom
ised this to the people, consequently they
are looked to for the fulfillment of the
promise, aa upon it greatly depends the re
sult of 188a
Tin: Lansford Ittcortl understands and
appreciates' tho sterling worth of our es
teemed friend Hon. W. M. Rapsber, as the
following will evidence:
Now that the bosses have placed Williams
in nomination for Supremo Judge, tho Al
lentown convention will display wisdom by
naming Mr, Rapsher, of Carbon county, a
candidate the workliigiuen of Pennsylvania
can suppert. It take something along
with Democracy to v. In this battle, and
that is why wa believe Mr. Rapsher to be
the most available, man.
Tub Democratic State Convention will
be held at Allentown next Wednesday,
Aug. 31st. The delegates and friends of
Mr. Rapsher have engaged, suitable rooms
at the Hotel Allen for the purpose of open
ing headquaiters next Tuesday to push his
candidacy for SupreipH Judge. Wo may
say that Ids fiiemlt are In receipt ofj-n
couraging letters from allparU of the State
and In some rates I hey make uiniialllW
pledges to support Id in. From the pretenl
outlook It seems probable that there will bo
anywhere from six to a dozen candidates
on the flnt few ballots for Supreme Judge,
We call upon the Democracy of Carbou
- county to lie on hand and report at Head
quarters for duty lu full force. It Is our
duty and everyone tun do something for
the cause. To My tit Mr. ItihePi
cuances to make the tietuiuttlen are at this
writing fully as good thote of any of the
distinguished men naineU for the position,
BnriMnft New M Letter.
Special to the OAitnoN ADVOoAtk.
We scarcely look for any extraordinary
sensation In tho dog days; with a thermom
eter ranging between 00 and 100 degrees,
tho most enthusiastic worker feels like giv
ing business a rest. Dutthls city Is a good
deal lllto tho ocean, ovcu In Its calmest mo
ments thero Is a long, deep swell that tells
of everlasting unrest and seems oyer por
tentous of disaster. What was tlio mean
ing of tho wild shout of joy that rang out
through tho Stock Exchange on Thursday
when tho Vice President announced from
tho desk that Henry S. Ives had suspend
ed? In their wild glco tho brokers remind
ed mo of a shoal of porpoises at sea; when
ono of tho unfortunate fishes Is struck with
a harpoon, as soon as his blood appears the
wholo trlbo jump for him and hound him
to death. I am willing to admit that at no
tlmo since ho lias been upon tho street has
Mr. Ives been a subject for pleasant con
temptation. In his ordinary Intercourse
with his fellow brokers there was a sort of
patronizing superciliousness which made
tho man cordially haled and universally un
popular. It Is a mystery to-ilay how tlio fellow
oyer got foothold among Hie Wall street
magnates. It Is only a few years ago since
he was rt little clerk with an unsavory repu
tation, yet so rapidly did ho turn his op
portunities to account that on Thursday
last ho was able to fail for firteen millions
of dollars. Even after his failure ho Is aide
to live In a hundred thousand dollar house,
and up to Wednesday morning ho was ablo
to rldo In an clglity-slx thousand dollar
steam yacht; It cost from three to four
thousand dollars a month to run her, and
with the expense of Ills hundred thousand
dollar town house, and Ids fifty thousand
dollar country bouso it must hayo cost Mr.
Ives quite a penny to live. Hold on a
minute I I forgot tho clubs. No doubt that
ho belonged to at least four tho Union,
the Century, the Racquet and tho Athletic.
Everybody who Is anybody, except Jay
Gould, belongs to them. Then come tlio
races, a little poker, an occasional aristo
cratic mill at fifty or a hundred dollars a
ticket. Yes, it must have, cost him a pile
of money. How did he get it you ask?
Aye, there's Hie rub. We know ho had It
and spent It like a nabob; in fact, a nabob
might get some valuable points from Hen
ry. Ho is only twenty-seven to-day, and
ha has not been more than three years in
active business. Ferdinand Ward bad just
gone to States prison after Ives started In
business; Henry Vlllard, whoso comet-like
amazed and terrified the financial world,
had turned one of tho most remarkable
somersaults in history; Jim Keene had
been knocked out some tlmo bafore, and
from that day to this has been trembling
on Hie ragged edge without money enough
to redeem tho prizes from tlnr Custom
House which ho won When Foxhall bore
his colors to victory in tlio Grand Prix,
fin tho outside Wall street lias the credit of
being careful and conservative. Tliero
neycr was a greater mistake; a moro reck
less, desperate set of gamblers does not
exist on tlio face of the earth. Of course
thero nro honorable exceptions, as far as
the business of stockbroklng can bo hon
orable, but, as a general thing, they will
gamble on anything. They will match
dollars or eagles or half eagles; they will
bet on the number of pieces of paper on a
given number of square feet of the Ex
change floor; they will plunge, their hands
In their pockets taking up a handful of
change and bet a thousand dollars odd or
even. This is substantially the Chinese
game of fan tan, but I never heard of a
broker being arrested though wo have sent
.several Cliluamen to the penitentiary for
the same offense. But their stronghold is
faro or poker preferably poker. Now
why did theso desperate gamblers set up
such a howl of delight when Henry S. Ives
went up in a balloon on Thursday, In tho
polite vernacular of the street, "he raised
the buck and tlio boys couldn't see tho
ante." When a man plays for a stake of
mlllions,the question naturally arises where
did he get the stake. That ho had tho
stake wo know, wo also know where some
of It ranin from, but not all. Do you know
what he was playing Wall Street for? For
tho biggest railroad combination In the his
tory of the world. Tho oldest heads on
Wall Street were appalled at tho treiucn
dous audacity of tho combination. And at
ono tlmo shrewd men said, "It can bo
done," and as an evidence of their faith
they put their money in it; ono man plank
ing down a million in solid cash, and an
other eight hundred and fifty thousand. If
the deal could liavo been accomplished Jay
Uouid would hayo' been crushed llko an
eggshell, and U. P. Huntington would liavo
been pushed to the wall, and IlentyS.
Ives was quite prepared to fill their places;
but the gong sounded on Thursday, and
air. lyes is relegated to the large fleet of
liave-lieens, whoso shattered wrecks along
the shore serve to point a moral If not to
adorn a tale.
A much moro acrrcablo subject to write
about Is themeetlng.of tlio Association for
the Advancement of Science with which
unrcuy lias ueen nonoreil Uurlng Hie past
week. It Is tho business as It Is tho pleas
ure of these gentlemen to Investlgato tho
heavens above and earth beneath, and the
wa'.ers that are under the earth, i:d from
the lectures and reports it is pretty evident
tliatevery Held of human research has been
thoroughly explored. It Is amusing as
well as Instruet!yo i gee the dlffeient
phases of research. One magnificent Pro
fessor with a head "fit to stand by Caesar
and give direction," seemed to go almost
wild oyer the discovery of a new bug. An
oiuer maites a vaiualiie contribution to
botany, others In physics and others still
In the various fields of abstract science.
Among modern scientists there seems to be
a very general disposition to take nothing
on trust; wiin inem it either Is or is not.
u it is prove it, ir it is not drop it. The
meetings wero lield In Columbia College
and were crowded lu svery department. It
was a maltcrof general rcmaik that such n
splendidly Intellectual body of men and wo
men has seldom been seen In tills cltv
One tiling remarkable about tho meeting
was tlio great number of young men. In
tho past ten years death has been busy,
and l rotiid not fall to notice the terrlbl
gaps made by the relentless reaper. Anion:
tho chemists I looked lu vain for the kindly,
genial face of my dear old friend Professor
Heiijlmln S Iicdrlck, for many yeais tho
principal chemical examiner of the Patent
OHIch at Washington. Tliesa annual renn
ions were abvajs a joyous holiday for him.
in fact It was almost his only holiday In the
year, and here in the association of the
men he honored and loved, and by whom I
h was honored and loved In return, he
gave freely thoj.i proclous stores of wisdom j
for which 'he was famous, and with!
modeitj and genial kindness which was '
his crowning glory. Though we mlfseJ
him sadly let us hope that somewhere,
perhaps above the stars, restldg In the calm
light of everUslin day, he Is enjoying the
roposo wlileh Is the rewnrd of tin honorable 1
and well spent life. The women who wero j
present had no complaint to make nbout .
tho Impediments thrown In tho way of j
their sox.- Never In any public body liavo ;
they received greater honor or distinction, j
and it Is only Jusl to add that they got on
moro than thoy deseryod.
Stocks havo been having a lough exper
ience, almost nil of tho gtlt-edgo securities
being affected by tlio general trouble. It
is evidently a speculator's light, tlio gen
eral public having very lltllo Interest In tho
row. Soycial times In the past fow weeks
a few countrymen In search of rapid for
tunes havo tried a flyer, but those who
went for wool generally camo back shorn,
and now the dogs aro eating each other,
there being nothing clso left to feed on.
An addition to tlio Interest of tho week
has been the doings of the different branches
of the Labor party, which now promises to
bo as numerous as tlio sands on the sea
shore, or tho stars In tho milky way. Wo
have tlio Union Labor party, and the
Union Labor party, which, by Hie way, Is
not very much united, but at tho present
writing Is much in the condition of tlio
Kilkenny cats. Thru there arc the Knights
of Labor and the Knights of Industry.
Thrco seperato branches of Socialists who
nro not at all social, and, four divisions of
Anarchists and Nihilists ready at tho drop
of the hat to blow up all creation, and
then cut each others throats at tho closo of
tho fifth act. In prospective wo liavo n
mlghtyprelty fight In sight, and It is hard
to tell who will coino out on top, but I
will venture this, It won'tbo Hciicry George.
