FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 20, 1894.
The Wane of the Demagogue.
From tla Scran to a Tribune.
It is one of the misfortunes of govern
ment by the people that it often degen
erates into misgovernment by the dema
gogues. The anarchist with his dagger,
Jiis bullet or his torch, is seldom dan
gerous for long; because by the very hor
ror of his agitation he antidotes his
worst poisons. The socialist, with his
learned and impractical dreams of im
possible reform, is not to be too greatly
feared, for, however, alluring his sophis
tries may seem in visions and in books,
they soon are found out when put to
stern experiment. Nor, by himself
alone, is either the criminal, the pauper
or the illiterate to bo regarded as a seri
ous menace to free institutions, inas
much as each is amenable to some form
of obvious remedy.
But the man with the gilb tongue and
still more slippery conscience, the artful
and unscrupulous demagogue, the trick
ster, the fellow whose principles are
changed as often as the coat is to the
breeze—here we have the real and reg
nant peril. With all our civilization and |
all cur culture; with all our churches I
and schools and charities steadily reach-1
ing out among the unfortunates in the
efToit to teach them knowledge and duty ; J
with all our manifold and multiplying i
agencies of public instruction as checks !
upon his ravages in our political life, I
the political quack, the partisan empiric
has kept abreast of every movement and
has seldom lacked at following. A
well-turned phrase and a hypocritical
voice; a frenzy that is summoned or si
lenced at will; a knack of deceit which
seems almost, at times, to challenge sin
cerity itself; combining these with the
desperation of the man who is notoriety
mad and you have to the nation what a
snake is to the thicket or the poison is
to the spirit.
In the wane of the demagogue true
Americans should take infinite delight.
Jt should be commemorated in story and
celebrated in verse. The date of it
should be made notable in local annals
and the lesson of it taught at the firesides
and in the schools. Not from dictators
nor tyrants need we fear the fruition of
those dire prophecies which bespeak our
nation's death. The thing to be guard
ed against, the evil to watched for,
comes not from the tramp of armies nor
the blare of tbe trumpet or drum. !
"\\ hatever tends to limit, cripple or sub- i
tract from a demagogue's power or mis
chief—this adds to real patriotism's
work; and it should not pass unnoticed
and unsung.
We look to Luzerne soon to scotch one
demagogue.
Freelund Still Lentlx.
From tho White Havon Journal.
A prominent Freeland fisherman,
living within a stone's throw of the post
office there, swears that while fishing in
the Oh'v last week the reflection in the
heavensTrom the electric lights at Free
land was so intense that he could dis
tinctly see the fish, clear to the bottom
of the dam, all night. Their shadows,
while increasing their size, seemed to
double their number. He says the
farmers of Butler valley, by the same
light, can see to plow and sow at night.
Many are digging potatoes, picking pears
and other fruits from the trees, and I
expect to husk their corn, etc. Others j
sit out under their "own vines and fig !
trees," as it were, and read the daily
papers as readily as by daylight. Truly,
'tis a wonderful thing. "Beats old
Andy Jackson," said one grizzled old
veteran. EIJ.
A Conservative Estimate.
From tho Philadelphia Press. '
While political predictions are never
safe, except in rare instances, it would
not be exaggerating to say that from
present indications it looks as if Leisen
ring would carry the county by 2,(XX),
and that appears to be a conservative
estimate.

THE POLITICAL FIELD
Morton Nominated for Gov
ernor of New York.
Saratoga, N Y., Sept. 10.—Republi
can confidence In the success of the
grand old party In the empire state
niude the convention here one of the
largest and most enthusiastic since the
war. Men of brains und ability, as
well us men prominent in politics
transformed this town of summer fash
ion and gaiety into a busy scene of
business that may have a marked ef
fect upon the history of both stute and
nation.
Convention hall was filled to its ut
most capaciy, at the three sessions
thut were held between noon and mid
night. Delegates who took part in tlie
proceedings on the floor und enthusi
asts who looked on and cheered every
prophecy of victory in November num
bered 4,000. Between sessions half a
dozen bruss bands und bodies of
marching men in the streets kept the
excitement at white heat.
Factional fights for nominations
were numerous, but once the nomina
tions were made there was nothing
but union and a hurrah for the com
ing campaign. The influence of
Thomas C. Piatt was ever present, but
it apparently caused no friction. The
convention may, perhaps, be consid
er 1 the triumph of Mr. Piatt's polit
ical life. J. Sloat Fassett, Cornelius
N Bliss, Stewart L. Woodford, Les
lie W. Russell and Gen. Daniel Butter
Hold who opposed Mr. Piatt's selection
by allowing their names to be present
ed for governor, one and nil pledged
fealty to the nominee which they were
snowed under In the convention.
A lively battle for lieutenant gover
nor was waged und Senator Charles
T. Faxon, best known as the author
of the Saxon ballot reform bill, was
the winner.
The candidates for the governorship
wore named by the following gentle-
Oen. Benjamin F. Tracy, ex-secre
tary of the navy, placed in nomina
tion the Hon. Levi P. Morton. When
Gen. Tracy named Mr. Morton there
was cheering and handclapplng for
over a minute.
Then Col. Archie Baxter, of Che
mung, was recognized. He spoke from
the platform and placed in nomination
J. Float Fassett.
When Senator Fassett s name was
first mentioned by Col. Baxter there
was a hubbub of applause confined
mainly to the galleries, and continued,
varied with cheers, for thr <• minutes.
Kvery repetition of the name brought
fresh nppluuse. The subject of it was
riot present.
Filas B. Dutcher, of Kings, present
ed the name of Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford, of Kings, for governor. He
spoke of the military career of Gen.
Woodford.
The Hon. E. A. Nash, of Cattaragus,
presented the name of Gen. Daniel
Buttorfield, of Now York. The shout
era of the lower end of the state gave
the general's name a lively reception.
F. X. Parker, of St. Lawrence, an
unintentional humorist, followed with
a speech urging the nomination of a
man who would attract the farmers'
vote and named Judge Leslie W. Rus
sell.
Mr. Parker said it would be a mis
take to select a man for governor who
had been through the retirement of
the vice-presidency. He called Mr.
Morton "Governor" and alluded to his
having been sent to the war. The con
vention was convulsed with laughter
and Chairman Miller was obliged to
rap for order and finally to appeal to
the audience to give the speaker a fair
show. This finished the nominating
speeches for governor.
After the nominations for the var
ious candidates had been seconded
there were shouts from all parts of the
hall of "Vote!" "Vote!" Roll call was
then proceeded with on the ballot for
governor.
Morton's total vote on first ballot
was 545. The nomination was made
unanimous on motion of Silas B.
Hutch, r, seconded by Col. Archie
Baxter.
The candidates nominated by the
convention are as follows:
Lev! P. Morton for governor.
Charles T. Saxton for lieutenant
