LocoFocoIsNI, AS UNDERSTOOD BY THE VAN buren,
PARTY IN 1887.
The .4lboAay .argitS in October 1887, held the
following language
eTbe I.ocooF oco, or Equal Rights partizans
in the city of New York, have nominated an en-
tire ticket for the Senate, Assembly, and County
Officers. ALEXANDER MING, JR. is the candi-
date for County Clerk We shall
now know the precise length and breadth Of this
faction"
Of an effort to unite the party with the Loco
Focos proper, the Argus spoke thus
"We perceive with regret that John l. Nor
gan, Isaac l.. Varian, SIC. have declined the no
mination for Assembly from the city OF New
York; and we perceive with equal regret that
Robt Townsend, Jr. and Levi ID. Slamm arc
among the nominations made in their stead.
No party can deTiVe credit from the Sc
lection of such candidates aC,lder such clTcltm-
stances, and we shall be deceived il it contrI-
butes strength any more than character to the
ticket generally"
The sense of the judicious portion Of the party
then supporting the administration of Mr.. Van
Buren,, was expressed in the following resolu.
ton, adopted at regular convention, held IN
Oneida county, and published in the Argus OF
August 90, 1888
dResolved, That no portion Of the republicans
of this County or State, we trust, entertain amy
feeling an common with the distinctive views OF
that faction originating in the city of New York,
KNOWN AS THE LoCo-F oCos, and of which we
have small number in this county; that ace re-
gard their doctrines and principles as utterly
ahhorYentt to all principles ofTepaGbiicanlsnl and
,noralitli, and Ofthe good order of society, AND
AT WAR WITH THE SAFETY OF OUR
CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS;
and that any Dttempt to court their .facO1
or support, f0r amy purpose achateUer, tc01id
and should produce DEFEAT AND DIS
GRACE"
The Utica Observer, in the summer of the
same year, held the following pointed language,
in relation to this "iaction y
"That our readers may see the extern, toaShieh
follu and madness sometimes go, we also PUB
fish tie address of the late Loco-Foco meeting
in New York. 1t is the UeTy madness Of TGdi-
ealis,n a1ldagralidniSnl and if the sober minded
people ot'the country can be mislcd by such pa
royies as it exhibits, we greatley misunderstood
their character. The resolutions passed at the
same meeting, kindred in spirit with the
address Among them is one calling a conven-
ton to meet in this city in September, and re-
commenting that new constitution be then and
there proposed for the consideration OF the good
people of this State; who, as they are advised III
the address. have arrived at one of those periods
when all the power of the government should be
resumed by the people themselves, without re-
gard to existas law and order. This near con-
stitutio1a triH be a specimen Of human ctsd0n;
and If the people do not adopt it with acclama-
ton and at once, they are not such hot-headed
patYiots as the Loco FocOS take them to be-"
The Penn Yam Democrat said:
owe should net forget to state, and to urge
most forcibly upon the public atteRtion, that the
democratic party of this county, Qate9 were
never led astray by the doctrines which the Lo-
cofocos vainly endeavored to establish, as the
tenets of Rcpublicanism-they have ever abIur-
ed Locofocoism in all its forms and guises'"
The Cherry TaHey Gazette, contained the
following hints:
GAS to the LocQfocos proper, or that class OF
politicians who choose to turn demagogues, with
view of courtin. that faction, we care b'rt lit
tie for them. No true republican will desiI to
see endorsements among our citizens, for the
purpose of fostering prejudices or of injuring
our moneyed institutions, and the sooner we are
rid of such patriots the better"
The Tyoy Budget thus alluded TO the views
Of the faction:
GA fs,o political. asiatics, Of the Goblet CALI
bye, are willing and ready to let down the heed-
gatss of anarchy and misrule to carry with them
the banking institutions, and all independent
citizens who are net in their way OF thinking
and acting; but they will fail in their MEANS
There is a Conservative spirit in the democr attic
ranks. that will check this heretofore grow ing
evil and the quicker it is manifested, the be tier
it will be for the cause and the country"
In reference to the proceedings of the County
Convention, which adopted the resolution copied
above, the Utica Observer expressed itself again
as follows:
"November will confirm through the ballot
hot no 81 hsUp
claimed as the popular sentiment in the address
and resolutions adopted at Hampton with great |
unaaimity. They speak in no ambiguous and
undecided terms, whatswe believe to be the |
views of the great mass Of our fellow citizens: |
views which, however they may be temporarily |
mystiied, will be sustained by the substantial |
good sense of the country, and as surely prevail
a. the principles interests, and the feelings Of |
the people will always predominant. IS
They repudiate and condemn the agrarian doc |
tr;nes of Locofocolsm, against which the demo |
Gratis Of Oneida have set their faces a flint
There will be no fiinching, no hesitation, no |
compromise in this matter. Here old Oneida is |
as firm as a rock, and come what may, she is de- |
termined that Locofocoism in all its moods and |
lenses, shall meet with decided and successful |
opposition. II cannot abide on the same ground, |
or occupy the same platform with sense and rea-
son; and is fated, past all doubt, to utter extinc
tion."
The Lockport Balence echoed these views in
the following styles
"The people of this State are not visionaries;
they will not be carried away nor deluded by
fanciful theories, impracticabe in themselves,
and utterly unworthy of adoption, even if prsc-
teable. The unison and harmony OF the demo
cratic party can only be preserved, and its great
ends be only attained, by repudiating the loose
doctrines OF the Agrarian school. This political
