JUDGE GAYNOR WITHDRAWS. His Place Filled By Judge Brown—vU Democrat* Hopetal—Cleveland Ken in Lmo - A Good Old Domoci«1t9 Campaign Pull of Life. The final decision of Judge Gayuoi to ivfnse the Bommation for the Court <>f .Ai,peals was made pubLc on the (>th in.stant, and during the day some (1 sappointment was expre.ssed*. The hwii-ty endorsement which Judge Gay- nor gave Senator H.11, and liis predic tion that the Senator would be elected gave new hope and courage to the un daunted Democrats who have elurgc- of the campaign. The committee de termined that enough time had already been lost, and that from this on fight ing must be pressed with renewed vigor. The State -Committee prompt ly decided to nominate Justice €h F. Brown, of Xewburg, and thei notification committee ivas calle inform the candidates of their n( COCKRAN SPEAKS. Congressman Coclcran made a r ug speech and predicted victory le start. In closing he said: “We appeal to you by all the tri- mphs of the past, by all the diffioul- ■sent and by all the hopes ‘ forward. ties of the pres of the future, ask you to lead us once more, aud we are certain that when the Standard will he placed in your hand.s, 't will be the signal that the batfe is alr-’ady won, and we will be guaranteed a victory before the first blow shall have been struck.” SENATOR HILL’S SPEECH. “Mr. CTiairman and Gentlenieu of the Committee—For the courteous m.anner in which you have formally notified me of the action of the recent Democratic convention, I can oxpre.ss iny sincere thanks. It i.s unueee.ssary for me to reiterate to you who were present at that gathering; that the nomination was as uueipectcd by me as it was unsought and undesiml. “Seven of the best years of my life were -devoted to the service of the State in the di.scharge of the high and re.sponsible duties of the office of its chief executive, and I have never ex pected nor intended to resume its tre mendous burdens again. While kccu- !.v apprec'ating the high honor con ferred on me in being nominated for a third time by one's party for so im portant a position, yet I cannot but feel that, personally, I have every- tU’ng to lose and nothing to gain by the contest to which you summon me. The gubernatorial office has no longer any attraction for me, and personally 1 prefer to remain In tbe Senate, where the duties arc gradually becoming more congenial to my tastes, and where I believe I cou'd move accept ably serve the interests of this great state. But personal considerations must have no weight where public duty is concerned. The Democratic party, p.spccially in this -State, is con fronted with a great crisis, which sub stantially involves its existence as a political organization. “Our opponents who are taking ad vantage of their temporary and acci dental supremacy in the Legis'atnre and in the Constitutional Convention, are seeking to fasten upon the people of tbe State a system of apportion ment or representation wh'ch virtual ly gives the Republicans control of the legislative department of the State for twenty yeai’s to come—a system based upon territorial area rather than population—founded upon inju.s- tice and inequality and designed to enable the minority ratluw than the majority of the people to control the “The very life of our party is at stake. Besides the control of the next IIou.se of Representatives may depend upon the election here. The Demo cratic convention having, against my protest, selected me to lead in such 'a erisi.s and although I exceedingly re gret Its action, and e.speclally regret that my advice was not adopted in regard to repre.sentation in the con vention itself, and while I have sought during the past week as personal aud intimate political friends well know, not only to heal and harmonize poli tical and factional d.fferences, but to seeare some other candidate whory ac ceptable to everyone to a.s.sume my place In this great struggle in whoso favor I would gladly reliro. but which has not proved feasible, and rocolleet- 'ng that the Democratic party of this State has honored me in the jiasr. When I solicited its favors in the days of its sun.shine and pro.sperlty, I can not desert it now in the hour of its danger and in this great emergency. “It Is a time when personal sacri fices are demanded, when individual preference must be subordinatt'd to the tenoral good and when there must be exhibited a lofty patrloitism. If we win this contest it will be the party’s Y I’tory. not mine; if we Jose, it will be the party’s defeat which will ho in volved in my own. Per.sonaFy, I am largely indifferent to tbe consequenee.s ' the struggle. A duty ronfroni iuty ronfr ’ni it as Hod gives it—let the resu'ts that no honorable effo on my part shall be spared to aclilevo success and with that confidence wbleh is an earnest of a.s.^’ured victory.” MR. LOCIOVOOD ACCEPTS. Mr. Lockwood also accepted the nomination, and in closing said: “The nomination was unsolicited and unexpected. Should I consult my own personal wish, I should most unhe.si- tatlngly decline the honor-^hut as a citizen of the great State of New York and a Arm hellavei' in the priu- ciples of Democracy, I am ready to copt the generous and unanimous fon of our conventiin, aud I now as sure you and the people of the State that if elected to the position of lieu tenant-governor I will discharge the duties of the office -fully, fear'es.sly and to the best of my ability in the interests of all the people of the Stati of New York.” JU D G E BROWN ACCEPTS. Charles F. Brown is the presiding .iustico of the second judicial district Of the Supreme Court. The jusfees, be.sides himself in this district are; ■\Villiam J. Gaynor, Edgar N. Cu’lon. Jackson O. Dlckmnn, William Bart lett and Calvin E. Pratt. Justice Brown’s term expir's December, 1894. Both he and his brother, the ex-war den, are well known throughout th.? The follffwing letter of notification was sent to Judge Brown: “Sir—The Democratic 'State Commit tee, exercising the power conferred up on ft by the State convention, has nominated you for judge of the Court of Appeals, at a meeting in 'which every Congressional district of the State was represented. “The Democratic party, which has always been the zealous vigilant guar- (1 an of freedom, regards the Court of •Appeals as the final depository of onr cimstitutlonal system. Its pui-pose is now, as it has always been, to secure an enligbteLcd and Independent ju diciary for the protection of popular rights. “Your eminent professional qua’ifl- cations, and your illustrious Judicial career, have led the representatives of the Democracy to place you in nomi- nat on for the exalted judicial po.sition wh’ch the electors of this State must fill at the coming election, and we rely upon your patriotism for a favorable answer to the popular appeal which finds expression through this commit tee, when it asks you to accept the nominat’on. “W. BOUBKE COOKRAN, “Chairman.” In response Judge Brown sent a let ter. in which he said: “In the emergency created by the deepnation of the gentleman nominat ed by the convention I do not feel at liberty to refuse the invitation to be come the candidate of the party which lias heretofore honored me with groat responsible official positions.” IMPORTANT BUSINESS. ICallroacl BarnlnRS Increase—This Is • Business B a r n m e ter. In a recent interview, Dr. Ohaun- cey M. Depow, president of the Cen- tral-Hudson River railroad, said: “Our freight business is a great deal larger this year than It was/last .sea son, but the passenger traffic is small er. This is due to the large number of people we took to the \VVorld’s Fair. As compared with 1892, however, I if the impression that the pas: for this year is ger traffic f though I ha’ ! made no close estimate. ’ no signs of a strii•ingeuey ;h there and the road is doing a very large busine.ss. There is every ind ention of prosperity.” Officia’s of the West Shore, New Y'ork, New Haven and Hartford, Penn sylvania and Erie lines indorsed Mr. Depew’s views of the situation, and a representative of the Canadian Pacific “To our surprise our passenger traf fic is as heavy this year as it was last season, although we had a very large World’s Fair travel. One reason for this has been the great number of ex cursionists who have taken ’round the world’ trips. Olhere has also been a large traffic In foreigners who have gone to China and Japan. We have carried thousands of Chinese and Ja panese on their way to their homes since the beginning of the war.” T H E W ORDS O F A PA T R IO T .

The present constitution S’mply prohibits lotteries, but the republican amendment prohibits ‘pool-seH'mg, book making, or any other kind of gambl ng.” Under the Ives pool law, race tracks for improving the breed of horses can be maintained under certain re-trictions. The republicans now propose to aboli.sh race tracks by amending the constitution. The amendment might as well have en- cludtd the manufacture and sale of liquor, worse eyil than garobUng. Saratoga county j ’idges, dlstilcls attorneys and grand juries have never .«eriously inter- fereij with the race track people, The gr. ater part of the citizens of Saratoga Springs, without regard to party, regard the Saratoga race track as the chief at traction of that fashionable resort. Dur ing the season just closed the hotels and boarding houi-es were most crowded dur- the races. How will Saratoga Springs republicans vote on the cunstiUilioKal amendments oll’-Ted by the republican constitutional conyention.

DEFA U L T IN G COUNTY TREASURERS The taxpayers o f Saratoga county last year paid (axes to the amount of $16,580 on account of the defalcations of Henry A. Mann, a republican county treasurer who was retained in office for seycral terms. This abominable taxation will coutinue uniil 1908, when the tax will be $18,360 In 1875 the supervisors unani- monsly adopted a resolution in fayor of a single term for a county treasurer. Have thepeoftie forgotten this? Henry A. Mann’s succFSSOfj, James H Wright, was elected for a second term notwithstanding the Mann experience, and within a month was found to be $13,000 khort in his accounts. H-ie was another disaster. Stepljen C. Medbery .succeeded Mr. Wright, and has now held < nice for sixteen year.s. He now comes before tbe pei'ple asking f<>r a sixth term of ofli.'e. This is too much. The county nooks and county funds should go into new bands. It is high time for a change. Many honest republicnns in all parts oi the county openly express this opinion. Jeremiah Husied of Waterford is the demociatic candidate for county tre.asnr- er. He is known throughout the county as a man of the strictest integrity and high! St business ability. Eyeiy grocer in noriheaste n New York is personally ac quainted with lim, as for twenty years he represented in this section the best wholesale grocery house in Albany. Re buke Ballstoti’s greed for office and place the county funds in Mr. Husted’s hands for the next three years. Oclober 15 arrived this year beforte a single frost visited- village pumpkin vines, squash vines and other “garden sass.” This record is something unusual The M ercury is the only jiewspaper In Saratoga' county whose ownership has not changed in any particular during the past ten years. Very few newspapers can say as much. - - Already m.any village shade trees are b.nre of leaves. The absence of killing frosts has greatly prolonged the season of grass, and cattle will go into the barns for winter In good condition. Two Sunday Railroad 'Wrecks.

On a certain evening last week, at about ten o’clock, strange soucd-i w re heard in the vicinity of a priyiite hoard ing house, on So Main-st. The landlady, who was the first to notice the sounds, iramedioWy notified the school ma’ra and her bean in the parlor, adding that •‘there might be burglars around.” The vnung couple began to investigate the matter-from the inside. Another boarder who had retired wa.s called and the two young men started out, with cautious .steps to find the burglars, They searched the premi.ses thoroughly, the landlady giving exrlicit directions from a second story window. After a long and fruit less se.arch they relumed, the young couple resuming their interrupted visit, aud the other boarder his slumbers. Next morning it transpired that the next door neighbor, not feeling well and being un able to sleep, had deciiie<i to step out and take a lit'le air. In his maneuverings he made the peculiar noise attributed to burghr.s. When he found that he was watched, he kept up the game for a time. Wh 11 he relumed to the house his spirits had liscn. Tbe inmates of the afoiesiid house have not yet dei'Ided on whom the joKe f-dls heivie^t.

M. to Fassett’s Cruel Sarcattn. •overblal and It \was •e cruelly than on ctracts Jx-Senator Jacob Bloat.Fassett, who •an for Governor on the Rhpub'.ican ticket against Gov. Flower in the cam paign of 1891, and who ardently wish ed to be tbe nominee this fall, cannot conceal his contempt for the man for whom he was shelved and his indig nation at the scurvy treatment he has received from his party. He was the principal orator at the opening Morton and Saxton ratification meeting re cently held In New York. Fasset’s keen sarcasm Is prov never displayed mor< that occasion. Here are a few from his “ratification” speech: “That convention (Republican) chose for its standard bearer one of the princes of the land,” “No more loyal Republican could bo found than, that dear old mam, Levi P. Morton.” \His sincere character breathes from his face like;;^ kindly benediction upon all fortunate enough to come in h's presence.” “But our opponets say of him that he is old. He is old, too old to be the tool of any boss.” “He is Old and majestic in the dig nity of an age that has not made him infirm.” “Ah, but they also say that Morton is rich. Whatever he may have he holds in trust for the benefit and kind ly uses of his fellows.” “'But they say that Mr. Morton as a candidate was discovered by Mr. Platt. It is one of the best discoveries Mr. Platt ever made.” “From whom does the criticism that Morton is Platt’s man come?” “Columbus discovered America, but you and I occupy it. Mr. Platt may have discovered Morton but you- and I adopt him.” “We had three years of Hill through Flower. Name one opportunity ful filled.” (Voice from the audience—“He left the State of New York free from debt. That’s what no Republican ever did in any State of the Union.”) “Do not underrate this man (Hill). He is tireless, he is keen, he is able, he is sagacious, ho is shrewd. In na tional politics it Is hard for us to at tack him.” During this address ex-Chairman ■r^Mil- smiled Stic r During this address ex-Chai Brookfield and ex-Senator Warner Icr sat side by side on the p’atl and looked at each other 1 audibly at the speaker’s si marks on the “dear old candidate,” and at his eulogy of the renowned Democratic nominee. SECRETARY LAMONT’S VIEW. Be Believes That Senator HUl WUl Bo Ejected Governor* Secretary Lament gave his views ihoutbout thehe nominationsominations madeade by thel a t n m by t New York Democratic Convention. “I see no reason,” said the Secretary, “why Mr. Hill should not be elected. New York is a Democratic State, and has been for thirty years. Mr. Hill is a vote-getter, and the ca-mpalgn will undoubtedly be an active one. “There may be some men of greater r less prominence with more or less of „ following who will refuse to support him, but he will not bo concerned about that. H e has hla ow n way of m aking a canvass, and will look elsewhere for his votes. “He has, unquestionably, looked the ground over and knows about where his strength lies, and thoroughly un derstands the situation. '^Ris opponent Is not an exceptional- rong candidate. Mr. Morton is an eable gentleman, but there Is no thing in. his candidacy to attract such Democrats as may not like Mr. Hill, nor is he likely to draw the indepen dent vote. “I see no reason why Mr.•.
