The precipitate haste with which the Democratic slate makers on Saturday turned to Mr. Amerman was hardly complimentary to the four or Ave other gentlemen whom they had successive ly sought to inveigle into an accept ance of a hopeless nomination for con gress. It affords a signal illustration of their utter desperation. How Pro fessor George Howell will like it, or Attorney Comegys or Mr. (Jearhart remains to be seen; but should they, obedient to human nature, resent this repeated trilling with their young af fections they can scarcely be less pleased with the action than the peo ple of the district will be when they come to pass upon it at the polls. In a personal and professional sense Mr. Amerman Is a gentleman for whom we entertain the highest re spect, nor would we willingly say any thing of his political associations that would tend to wound his feelings or interrupt the cordiality of our indi vidual relations. But we think it will be apparent to Mr. Amerman, now or later, should he consent to accept this nomination for cougress,that he would have selected an Incongruous compan ionship, which would win him ,110 friends among his partisan opponents and inspire no marked enthusiasm in his own political household. There have been times when, with cleverness of disguise, a protectionist could successfully masquerade as a Democrat. There have been times when the people, trusting in Demo cratic goodness of heart to neutralize the eccentricities of the Democratic brain, have been generous enough to confide the keeping of the industrial interests of Lackawanna county to the hands of an economic Ishmaelite. But this, we submit, is not going to bo one of those times. The portents are inauspicious for a second fooling of tho people along a familiar line. They will resent the low estimate thus placed upon their credulity and administer to the would-be beneficiary of the arti fice such a rebuke as would become his toric. Mr. Fahey has the prestige of one small victory behind him, but when Prothonotary Pryor gets through with his case that prestige will be swallowed up in an utter Infinity of defeat. With a Grain of Salt. A good deal of unnecessary stir is being made, just now, because of the announced intention of the Bugar Planters' association of Louisiana to support the Republican candidates for congressmen in that state. It may be that this "bolt" of the regular Demo cratic ticket will be the means of add ing two or three to the Republican majority In the next congress. To this extent, therefore, the present stir 1b justified. But in any larger view of the ques tion we are convinced that the Repub lican press makes a mistake in attrib uting to the selfish action of the Louis iana planters fundamental and perma nent political significance. The pres ent action is conceived in pique, at the loss of the sugar bounty granted In the McKinley tariff bill and denied in the new Gorman bill. It has no deeper meaning, and it would vanish tomor row if a Democratic congress were to throw a inouetary sop to those who are now disaflected. We do not wish to rebuff southern converts to the beneficent principle of protection to American industries; but we regard It as no more than fair to in sist that these converts, in order to be received with the fatted calf and a brass band, shall first be genuine. They must, in other words,be disposed to accord to other sections and other in terests an equal measure of protection to that demanded for their own. This the Louisiana planters will not do; and their conversion to Repub licanism must, therefore, be taken cum grauo salis. Clerk of Courts John H. Thomas has been physically "under the weather" for the past few days, but he will reeuperate in abundant time to moke things iuterestiug for his Demo cratic opponent. It is imi'o.ssiule to measure the usefulness of such a career as was that of Frofessor Helmholtz, whose death is ) list noted in a brief cable dispatch. There is scarcely a department of nat ural science which his patient and ac curate researches have not illumined. Although particularly celebrated for his discoveries with reference to the physical properties of light, heat and sound, Professor Helinholtz was in many senses a profound philosopher, in that he held it to be tho duty of mankind to rest content with tho best kuowlcge attainable by honest pro cesses, and regarded all ulterior specu tion as teutativo rather than fixed. It was natural that his environment should predispose him to materialism, yet there are traces in his life and works of a fine spiritualism which would do credit to any poet, painter, artist or theologian. In short, he "was but as he was," and would have been less had lie been otherwise. The refrain in Mr. Comegys' mind Just now as he reflects upon the slate makers' ingratitude unconsciously takes on this meter: ''Perhaps you did well to dissemble your love, But why did you kick me down stairs!"' Keep an Eye on Maine. Following closely after the phenom enal vote cast for the Republican can didate for governor of Vermont, Mr. Woodbury, whose plurality of 2S,0i;3 is the largest ever polled in that state, will come today's verdict in Maine up on this Democratic administration and whatit has done and undone. Chair man Mauley, of the Republican com mittee, estimates that his party will have a plurality of 25,000, including the re-election of every Republican congressman by increased majorities, and Chairman Hughes, of the Demo cratic committee, gives the minority's case away by admitting that the Re publicans will have 10,000 to 11,000 plurality on their state ticket. An analysis of the Vermont vote is Interesting as giving an advance hint of what may be expected in Maine. The completed returns show a gain of 15,292 over the plurality for the Repub lican ticket in 1800, the last off year election, and the total vote is larger by 10,234 than that given for governor the last Presidential year. The plu rality for Woodbury is about 7,000 greater than that given for Harrison in 1802. The total Republican vote this year is 4,791 greater, and the Dem ocratic vote 2,205 less than that cast for the presidential ticket in 192. Tho Prohibition vote dropped nearly out of sight this year. lu 1892 the third par ty cast 1,415 votes for Bidwell. The Prohibitionists have polled for their ticket a mere handful of votes, less than 1 per cent, of the whole number cast, a fact whicli will exclude their nominations from the ollielal ballot in 1890, except by petition of the required number of voters. The Populisls cast 500 votes, a small fraction less than the 1 per cent, to entitle them to represent ation upon the official ballot, except by petition. The returns show the re election of Congressman Powers from the First district, and of Congressman Groat from the Second district by ma jorities of about 13,000 each. All tho Republican candidates for comity offi cers are elected in every county. The senate is solidly Republican, and there are only eleven Democrats in a house of 241 members. In only one respect has the Maine campaign differed from that in Ver mont. This has been in the growth of the Populist strength. Even Re publicans concede that the Maine Pop ulist ticket will poll a largely increased vote; but they allege that the increase will come almost wholly from Demo cratic sources. To be a Democrat In Maine has for years meant such a strain on one's stiffness of backbone that those Democrats who are now disgusted with their party will change over only by degrees, taking Populism merely as a preliminary step. It is significant that Congressman Reed, who has led the Maine campaign, has been uncommonly moderate and con ciliatory In his speeches, showing that he appreciates the wisdom of drawing the Democratic waverers into the Re publican ranks by mild means, instead of making them angry by incessant clubbing. The effects of this shrewd policy ought to reveal themselves at to-day's balloting. It is a safe guess that Maine will join in the merry dance which staid old Vermont has begun, following the latter's phenomenal vote with another not less remarkable. It might be well to have a definite explanation of Candidate Amerman's attitude in this campaign. Is he a protectionist for perfidy only or a free trade for party dishonor? Upon a day that witnessed the death of a real benefactor to his race, it is a queer coincidence that the wires should also flash intelligence of the demise of Louis Phillipe Albert of Or leans, grandson and heir of King Louis Phillipe, count of Paris and last of the Bourbons. The count was a man of many personal recommendations, but he had one inexcusable fault; he was an analyst always, aud never a crea tor. He could dissect like a surgeon and criticize like a fiend, but when it came to building up and to assuming the lead in things he was helpless and hopeless, a mere cork, as it were,played upon by every current. Bourbonism is dead in France, we believe for all time. The count of Paris, in politics, was a reminiscence and will soon cerfse to be even that. Rev. Dr. Parkhurst gets back to New York to find himself no longer sueered at, but wholesomely honored, respected aud feared. The courage of one brave man, in other words, has routed the entrenched villainy of whole generations of knaves. The personal element in politics never counted for less than it does now. In a crisis lnvolviug the very life or death of fundamental princi ples, it matters little what' names the temporary candidates bear. The corrupt use of money in poli tics is a cry which, however truthful in some iustances, is generally most exaggerated by the guiltiest corrup tiouist of them all. So quickly was the Sando senator ial boom done for, one may, perhaps, be pardoned for querying what it was begun for. The Democratic hope that is build ed ou Republican secession deserves to collapse. POLITICAL NOTES. The siiBKotion which originated with Tub Tkiuune that Colonel Thomas C. Zimmerman, of Heading, would prove the most acceptable antagonist whom tbe Re publicans of the Ninth district;could pit agiiiuBt Constantino J. Erdman has met with cordial favor from evory person ex cept tbe one most intimately concerned in it. Colonel Zimmerman, with his very best bow, informs the public, through his excellent journal, the Reading Times, that "he is not a candidate for political office of any kind, and that while deeply grate ful to his fellow -journalists as well as to many personal friends and well-wishers, for so frequently commending him to pub lic favor, he prefers to devote himself to the les vexatious and infinitely more pleas ant, if even more exacting, duties, that lie aloug the lines of journalism, to the ad vancement of which he has given an hon est purpose and the best years of his life." Colonel Zimmermau's wishes will neces sarily have to be respected, in spite of the fact that it takes from the Ninth district congressional problem the one factor that promised most seriously to interfere with Mr. Erdmau's ambitions. The Philadelphia delegation iu the next house of state representatives is quite likely to line up as follows, new men being indicated bv u slur: District. " District. I (loiiruo A. Vuro.

Walton. Representative Riter, of the Tenth dis trict, will probably be replaced by Presi dent Cunningham, of tbe William R. Leeds association. Cunningham lives in the fciistb ward, which claims that Ri tor's ward, the Tenth, has been represented long enough. A careful analysis has been made at Democratic national headquarters of the congressional situation so far as it has un folded opportunities for observation. Down to tbe present time, of tbe districts now Democratic, 131 have made nomina tions. Of this number ninety-seven are re-nominations aud tbirty-fonr are new nominations. This gives a ratio of 74 per cent, of re-nominations and but 20 per cent, of new nominations. The conclusion to bo drawn from tbis is regarded by some as assuring to Democrats, but this view is superficial. The greater number of Dem cratio re-nominations, the more bitter will be the opposition of those wbo were disappointed in expectations of party pat ronage, and consequently the stronger will be the incentive to increased Republican effort. It is the invariable rulo of shrewd campaigners that patronage, uuless iu ex pert hands, is a source of weakness instead of Btreugtb. The November congressional returns ought, we should say, to sustain this belief. As an aid to the attraction of backward delegates it is now announced that Candi date Singerly will actually be present aud "shake hunds with the boys" at the re convened Democratic state convention to be held at Ilarrisburg Wednesday. This announcement has beeu necessitated be cause of the difficulty experienced in get ting delegates to attend. There are 454 delegates m all; and about 400 want to save themselves the bother of a special journey to the state capital all to no con ceivable purpose. Since the Pennsylvania refused Chairman Stranahan's request for passes there has been a great slump in tbe state delegate market, and it is now a seri ous problem how to secure even a quorum. That sterling Schuylkill county Repub lican, Major Sam Losch, having found that things were not inclined to go his way politically speaking, this year, has wisoly decided to seek nls lortnne In business cares. Major LoBoh has leased from the Reading company a coal tract extending from Lor berry to Lower Raush Creek and containing what is known in that section as the "Lorberrv mammoth vein." ItiSBaid tbat Mr. Losch will be associated with several capitalists in the development of this property and that there is every prospect for the investment proving renumerative. JUajor JLoscu de serves good luck of some kind. He has had more than an avorage share of hard luctf, in politics. The Philadelphia Times must have grown sarcastic when it said on Saturday: "Lhatrmau etrauanan win open head quarters at the Lafayette hotel, -Sept. 17, and is now in consultation .with leaders of the party all over tbe state in reference to the effective programme of speakers for the campaign. In tbis programme some of the best Democrats of the country will engage and an aggressive campaign, cover ing many questions and not a single issue, will be presented to the voters." "Not a single issue" is good and also true unless an isms niignt db constructed out or Mr. Cleveland's "perfidy and dishonor" letter. Upon the first page is an interesting special article reviewing the campaign in Now York state. Those who are inter ested in politics at all will be interested in this resume of the situation in the greatest political state in tne union, showing, as it does, tbe disadvantage of over confidence and tbe futility of tbe belief, which ob tains even in Pennsylvania, that "every thing is going our way" this fall. If this feel in a shall not soon be guarded against. the Democrats will take advantage of it in more states than one. Too much conn dence is ofton worse than not enough. Frank Thompson of Lackawanna and Colonel K, Bruce Rioketts of Luzerne, are the executive committee members of the Democratic society of Pennsylvania, from this section, who will meet at Harrisburg tomorrow to nx the time lor toe society's general assembly at Altoona. Speaking of coincidences, here is a good one. mentioned by Representative C. W. Stone at ilarrisburg last week. "I live in Warren, which is tbe county seat of War ren couutv: my middle name is Warren. I have a son named Warren and I am for Warren for league president." The policy of loyal Republicanism is thus outlined in a paragraph from tbe Hyde Parle correspondence or tne scranton Free Press, from which we now qnote: "Hon. John IL Fellows takes his defeat of last Tuesday philosophically, and said yester day that he would abide by the decision of the convention, and would use bis influ ence and efforts to elect the whole Repub lican ticket. He says he Is loyal Repub lican, and because he was not a winner bt does not propose to sulk or to Bbow ingrat- uuue tor wnat tne party nas none tor mm in tbe past." From tbe safe distance of Atlantlo City Chairman Btranahan announces tbat tbe Democrats will earrv the Twelfth district. Tbe genial chairman will understand things better when he shall get closer to tne scene. Every prospect favors the election of Emerson Collins as state representative from Williamsport, in lieu of Walter E. Ritter, Mr. Collins, if elected, would b the first Renublicau iu niauv years to carry his district. a Oof OO I. th. -I.,. -,.. 1 Ifn.Hnrr.' vuv. ID ,110 UBbV Ul visit to Scranton.
