In the late Congressional and Estate cleo

South The exception we alluded to was q

by some strange freak, got the democratic
nomination for Congress. His speeches
proved him to be fire eater of the mos

he said:

might make. -l.' -
He advised Southern-rights democrats to
go to the Charleston Convention and de.
mand the Endorsement Of the Southern con,
struction Of the Cincinnati Platform, the re.
pudiation Of squatter sovereignty, the pro.
lection Of slave property in the territories,
and the recognition Of all the rights claim

could not control the Convention, and carry
these points, that they should then quit the
concern and come home He desired tc

These are the kind Of men, who, in the

SHIELDS VS.. RAMSEY

Gen Shields, during his long public ca
reer, has invariably manifested the utmost
zeal IN defending the interests Of the people
of the West. While commissioner of the
general land office, during the administra.
ton of Mr.. Polk, in lengthy report to the
President, he urged upon Congress the JUS
tice OF reducing the price of the public
lands. In accordance with this suggestion
a Dill was introduced into the House of Rep
rescntatives in 1916, by Mr. McClernard, tc
reduce and graduate the price OF the public
lands. The bill was supported by western
men as measure for the benefit of the
West. The speeches, as they appear in the
congressional Globe show that the bill wa,

TIN RAIL ROAD BOMBS .NDr1s
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

rs!A RAIL ROAD BOMBS AND TIE
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. w
The important State question at issue be.
tween the Democrats and Republicans of
Minnesota, is whether the State should
provide, at the next session of the Leeisla.
ture, for the payment Of the interest and
principal of the State Rail Road Bonds. as
fast as the same shall become due. Two
n,iIiions and half of Bonds have boon is
sued to the companies, and all work upon
the roads has been, for tho present, discon-
tinued. Now what the State should do
under these circumstances, is a matter Of
the greatest practical Importance, that should
have the dispassionatc consideration Of ev-
ery one. ys " 7. -
This ought not to be party question:
1t is one that members Of either party might
differ from each other upon, without chang.
ing their relations, politically: and SO it was
considered in the beginning. Republican Or
CANS and Republican leaders, differed widely
among themselves on this question, and yet
could pull together harmoniously as Repub-
Leans. But the course Of their leading par
~ apsdi0Dpted to that end ever since the
first inception Of the $4,000 600 Loan Bill,
has finally triumphed overall opposition in
their ranks-silenced every Republican
voice that differed from it; and, at last, has
brought the party, rag, tag and boo tail. right
square over.to its position. This position
has been from the beginning, undying hostili
ty to the present Rail Road Companies; for q
return Of their charters, and franchises to
the State and re distribution Of the Rail
Road Lands, among its Gavorite pets. The
Republicans in their platform now declare
that they will do nothing until the Rail Roads
have completely failed, and The lands and
franchises are sold and taken possession Of
by the State, and then they will do what
they think best. tg' ~.F ~ ~.
The Times and other Republican papers
having succumbed to the N,,nesotion aud
its clique, and the Republicans having made
this practically reputation policy party
test, the Democratic patty was forced to
come up to the rescue. It has done so
boldly and manfully. It avows itself in ia
vor Of providing for the interest and p:inci-
pal Of the bonds as fast as they become due,
at the next session Of the Legislature, and
of fastening the construction Of the roads.
1t is for the people te decide between them.
