and his campaign for governor of new york in 1807, daniel tompkins was a successful lawyer, columbia college graduate lawyer, no less. he betrayed himself as a simple farmer's boy, that's the term used in running for governor of the stage. in contrast to his opponent, mark lewis, who wasn't in the eye of the rivington family, so he's going to play up the fact that he's an ordinary farmer's boy when in fact he's just a lawyer with columbia college education. in 1810, the new york federalist tried to combat tompkins and the next election with their own candidate, a man named jonas platts whose habits and manners are as plain and republican as those of his country neighbors. platt was not a city lawyer like tompkins they said two roles in splendor and while those in luxury. now this is the beginning of a kind of anti-intellectualism, anti-aristocratic feeling an anti-elitism. we will use that term. they use aristocrat. we used the leaders him. that's endemic to american culture do we still have although not to the same extent. today in pennsylvania, this should give you another example.
