CHRONOLOGY.
di,y.

The sapient editor of the St. Adams Re-
publican, in rejoicing over the unexpected
result of the Baltimore Convention, and the
precious nominations there made, falls into
the old stereotype routine of Loco foco gam
mon, and by not varying his form to suit the
case in hand, falls into ludcrous anachro-
nlsnl.
Speaking of Polk, he calls him the "tricd
and incompatible patriot, the supporter Of
Jefferson, &c. &c.
If the Albany Argus is not very far out OF
the way, the aforesaid Polk did not conde-
scend to appear upon this sublunary sphere
until abou. the year 1905.
Mr.. Jefferson was first elected Presiden,
in 1900 when this his "supporter" was of the
ripe age of fire years. He was reelected
in 1904 when this prodigious Tennessear
was farther along in life. lie was ther

We must throw ourselves upon the indul-
pencc of our friends from abroad. Hundreds
have doubtless failed in receiving that &C
commodatioe, and those attentions, which il
was the design of our citizens to bestow on
all. But, in truth, the number so far excee-
ded the utmost limit of our expectation
that all calculation was SET at defiance
Every wing house was filled, and doubled
upon; and finally on Tuesday evening, the
Methodist, Congregational, and Unitarian
churches, the vestry room, and Meritt's new
building were put in requisition, and fIlct
to their utn,os, capacity. We calculated fol
another 1910, but forgot to multiply i, by
four.

between the mature ages of FIVE, and four
teen We believe Mr.. J. makes no mem
ton in his "Witness" of this prodigious
friend of his, but this must certainly detract
from his reputation as Democratic prophet.
He ought to have seen that when the term
"Democratic" came to be appropriated by
a party of sposmcn, some such founding as
this Polk would naturally spring up as their
standard bearer, and claim all sorts ofintima-
cy with him. He should have looked for
ward with far-secing eye to the very crisis
which has now arrived, and there would he
have Dissolved his supporter" in pantaletts,
waiting to become Democrat Demigod,
thrown up on the fro,h of project bego,ten
in sel6shness and prosecuted in recklessness;
having for its object the cnriching of despc.
radoes, and the extension of sin.
A "supportcr" of Mr.. Jefferson! The
old cant of Locoiocoism, with whom it is &C.
counted more to have crawled round Jef1er'
fcrson or Jackson in search of an office, thar
to be a true and consistent democrat.
The paragraph in question was doubles
copied from some Loco book of forms, ant
the editor was too careless or stupid to "vary
the form to suit the case" 1t reminds US
worthy justice of our acquaintance who il
administering an oath TO a witness Away
read from the Statute thus; "you solemnl
swear Tor affirm as the case may be'') &c.

ORANGE COUNTY.

The wings of Orange County are doing
nobly. They are to have Mass Conven-
ton at Bradford on the fifth of July, and
we are Informed by the editor of the Brad
ford Protector that they have engaged the
services of MIR. Phelps, Mr.. Marsh, Mr..
Collamer and some others, as speakers on
the occasion. Loco focoism in Orange
County must certainly quail under the innu-
ence that these men will exert there on that
day.

ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGREss.-The two
Houses of Congress adjourned in conformity
with their joint resolution previously passed,
at II o'clock, noon, on the 18th. Much i'm
portant business, which demanded the atten.
ton of Congress, remains unfinished, and
very little Of any importance 10 the Nation
has been done, with the exception of the
mere passing of the Appropriation Bills.
Although serious Inconvenience will be suf-
fered by the public from the neglect and in
ability Of the two Houses to bring their labors
on some Of the important subjects which
we're brought before them to maturity, the
general feeling will be one Of gratitude, that
enough of intelligence and harmony of views
among the members to enable them to do
much good, we may be thankful that there
was enough of intelligence and watchfulness
on the part Of a sufficient portion Of men,
bers to prevent any serious mischief being
done. The N. Y. American in speaking Of
the dolngs OF the late Congress, and especl.
ally of the proceedings and character of the
House of Representatives, which it describes
as 'the least able, least respectable, ant
least efficient body, that even assembled il
that Hall, pays the following very deserved
compliment to the U. S. Senate:
A Senate worthy of the Republic-worhy Of its il
lustrlous annals worthy, twice worthy, both b.
what it has accomplished and what has prevented
In the first rank Gifts merits (says the Amercan) W
place the scornfu rejection Of the infamous Texa
treaty and in the second its stern dsapprova of tn
multltudnous jobbing and corrupt nominations mad
by the President. II it has not done all that unde
the circumstances memorable justice might demand
II has done much as to find acceptance and homo
in all parts OF the Union. But for tho Senate, tn
Wing Senate though in much Gifts good work som
Of the most intelligent and able members of the othe
party concurred-the Tariff would have been repeal
ed; the Sub-Treasury have been restored; the high
est offices of the country have been put up at auction
and very possibly, Peace itself have been sacrificed a
the shrine of personal ambition. In announcing
therefore, with satisfaction, the adjournment of Con
gress, we again say honor and praise TO the WIFI
Senate.

Mr.. Hardin, member of Congress from
Illinois, in the course of discussion o! the
political principles of James X. Polk, and
the party in the House of Representatives,
between himself and Mr.. Paine of Alabama,
thus hits of the candidate of the party:
"What now, he asked, were the beautiful principles
of this man James X. Polk He had been deadly
opposed to the sub Treasury and then for II he had
been in favor of deposlte banks and then against
and utterly opposed TO protection TO American INDUS
try and in favor of bringing down the tariff TO 20
ner cent. horizontal duty This party went for the
progressive principles OF democracy, and the man
who stood still got entirely ont OF their ranks and INTO
the federal party. 1t reminded him of Domlny bod.
sons black silk stockings. His house-keeper darned
them with white wool; every Sunday morning he
asked for them until there not particle OF black
silk left and visible in them. So with democratic
nrincples they had from year to year been patched
by the addition of doctrines TO suit the changes
of popular sentiment until at last no vestge of what
was once called democratic principles remained"
Nothing can be more true. Democracy
is any thing and every thing to suit the times.
One thing at the North, another at the South,
and any thing for the "spoils." In 1924 it
was for a protective tariff 1.-THE doctrine Of
Jeflerson) and for national currency. In
1884 it advocated a .judicious tariff, and the
distribution of the proceeds of the public
lands among the States (ride Gen. Jackson's
message) and I" asked nothing but what was
right, and submitted to nothing that was
wrong" In 1874 it is anti-tarif, anti-distri-
button, anti national currency. The last
antic of democracy is pelLmell rush fol
Texas and Oregon, in violation of solemn
treaties-the honor of the nation, and the
rights of foreign country. In our owr
State democracy" goes step further. II
violates in addition the law of Congress re-
curing the State to be dIstricted for the
choice of members of Congress, and denies
the right of the people to make the public
improvements which the necessities Of the
age imperatvely require. 1t here unadul'
terated pure loco focoism.-N II. Sentinel

final issue shall be made up, and the anerndtire dis
tinctly presented TO The free States, either 10 admit
1erds into the Union, or TO proceed Pedceabiy and
calmly 10 arrange The terms Of dissolution Of the

Such are the grounds on which the "PoN
and Dallas" ticket is supported at the South.

State will lend its aid or countenance TO SO
foul plot 2-Jornat.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE2s 1914
THE CONVENTION.
THOUSAND FREEMEN
IN COUNCIL! THE NOUN
TAINS ON FIRE!!!

We have been so much occupied by the
presence Of the countless throng of Wings
gathered here on Wednesday, that we can
give no account in detail of their dongs.
The people were here, and we were so busy
in striving in common with our brethren
here, to wait upon them, that all power to
give circumstan,ial history of the pro-
ceedngs of this vast assemblagc IL de-
nicd US. All we can say, is, that every
body agrees in saying that the number
vastly exceeded that of the 25ih June, 1910.
The number cannot be much if any below
TWENTY THOUSAND And such a
convention we have never before witnessed,
and hardly expect TO again. Tho Hon.
SrLAs II. JENIsoN presided, and the pro-
cccdings were characterised by the most un.
bounded enthusiasm and the most perfect
harmony. The speakers were Messrs.
Thaycr and Fowler of Ncw.York, and
Mossrs. Foot, Marsh and Phelps of our Con-
gressional delegation. The vast concourse
stood for six hours, listening with patience,
beneath a hot sun, to the eloquent speeches
af those gentlemen, and the interest and de-
termination manifested by the multitude
gave glorious earnest Of an approaching
triumph. Nothing was lacking to the enjoy
ment Of the occasion--nothing occurred to
mar the general felicity. Half dozen bands
and glee clubs were here, who enlivencd the
day with most eloquent music.
In short, it was all and more than we ex-
pected or hoped, and next week we will
give the details. The spirit of 40 is AVA
kcned with renewed force, and The name OF
CLAY is destined to sweep our hills with ten
fold more power that even that of the lament
ed Harrison. To our friends abroad VIC
say, be not afraid the Star that never
sets" is still brightly bcamng, and its clear
though unobtrusive, lustre will be sure to be
seen amid the splendid galaxy of States who
will rally in November around the illustrious
Statesman of Kentucky.
The Banner vas awarded to Grand Isle
County. Addison, Rutland and Windsor
mustered their thousands of gallant Wings,
but the entire population of the Island
County was out and there could, of course,
be no competition against such zeal.
Ex-Governor Jcnison presided, and E.
p. Walton, Jr. oflica,cd as Secretary. The
nominations for State Officers and Electors
are as follows:
WILLIAM SLADE, Gorernor.
HORACE EATON, LIT. Gorernor.

worthless syrups they don't touch the real
