It assisted consplcuonsly In the pirth
OF that remarkable anti-secret society
agitation whlcl, swept over the country
In the COS. and originated n political
nnr.v of n very tolerable strength. &
The ca,ise Of this agitation, 1t IS inter-
esting to recall, was the mysterious ana
never explained disappearance OF one
william Morgan, a Mason. 1ncensed pc
cnuse his name had been omitted from
n certain lodge charter-llst, Morgan de-
clared that he would publish BOOK
revealing the Masonic secrets, ana en-
gagged y. G. Miller printer OF Batn-
via, to publish It. An incendlary visited
Miller and fred his office-presuma1plS
by way Of friendly warning. a short
time afterwards. on September u, 1875,
Morgan was spirited away to canaan
laigun, and afterwards, tradition runs
to Fort Niagara. He was never seen
nlve again. No one ever told how or
when ho died. A. year later BODY was
found floating near the mouth OF niagara ''l
River, whici, many believed TO be that or
Morgan. The promised book was p"p-
lishcd in Batavia In 1897.
There was grent outcry over Morgaeln,s
taking of, accompanied by marked .tt
reaction against Masonry. Hundreds OF
lodge warrants were surrendered during
tho next few years. Through New York
State especially, excitement ran very
high. The issue ran over into politics,
md an nntl-Masonic party was formed
with Il following In New York, Pennsyl-
yania, New England and else where. which
took an active part in the campaigns
of 1928, 1880 and 1882, w. II. Seward,
Willard Fillmore, Thurlow Weed and
Thaddcus Stevens made their political
doubts as antf-Masonic leaders. 1t was
on an anti-Masonic and Wing platform
that John Quincy Adams was elected to
Congress In 1880. Tho party held q ma
.t,onol convention In 1882. nominated regu-
lar candidates for the presidency, rolled

she has suffered. An interesting COM
