WHAT REPUBLICAN PAPERS HAVE TO
"a SAY ABOUT IT.

=. e. ..5+ar
If the late Convention had only.
kept on as it commenced, and left G..
A. Gilman where he ought to have
been the people would look with
more favor upon the ticket. It is the
bad egg that spoils the custard--
Elk Rtver Ne,cs.
The nomination of the notorious
Gilman was corruptly and treacher-
ously done, and if he is elected he
will probably be obliged to resign
year after his election, as he did the
St. Cloud land Office, to avoid an in
vestigation into its management,
when the investigation could no long,
er be STAYED of:-Mi,,',eapoHs MaI.
The nomination of G. A. Gilman
to the position Of Railroad Commits
sioner was shameful one. Gilman
is a stencil in The nostrils of honest
men generally, and is not entitled to
vote in the State. He is a disgrace
to the Republican ticket and the re-
spectacle men whose names we, have
mentioned above-Lanesboro Jour-
nal.
&C. A. Gilman, nominee for Rail-
road Commissioner, was formerly
Land Officer at St. Cloud, and is a
well-known politician, whose antece-
dents will subject him to a hotter fire
from the Opposition than any other
on the ticket. His nomination was
conceded to considerations of locality.
Chicago Tribune.
The ticket placed in nomination
is in the main a good one, and since
we cannot say unexceptionally good,
we cannot in justice to the good men
on it, fail to designate the man whom
we have reason to believe unfit 70,
the position for which he has beer
named. We refer to the candidate
for Railroad Commissioner, c. A. Gil
man. 1t is publicly charged that he
has been one of a ring ofmen engaged
inlarge schemes of pine land plumber
corrupt in its character, and it i,
equally notorious that he was investi
gated as to the irregularities in tn,

and that this investigation resulted il
his retirement from the office. Thes'
are what we believe to be facts, ant
the only excuse that can be urged fo1
his nomination must be ignorance O

:5$ Ex-PREs1DENT Andrew johnson
died Saturday morning, at Greenville,
Tenn, from the effects of a stroke OF
paralysis. He was in the 68th year
Of his age, and had been almost con-
tinuously in public service from the
age of 20 years, when he was elected
IN Alderman, until his death, when
he was q United States Senator. AL.
though without wealth or education,
BY bis great natural abilities be
made himself conspicuous and influ.
entail. He was egotistical and am
bilious, and these qualitiesled him into
positions which drew upon him the
censure and arrayed against him the
opposition Of those who had been his
political friends and supporters. He
was very decided and thoroughly hon
est; he was patriot when thousands
in his native State were traitors in
arms; and there are few persons who
will not now be willing to overlook
his faults ard to follow him to the
grave with feelings Of kindness and
esteem.

the eighth paragraph in the Republi-
can platform Of this State, and is not
put to much labor to demonstrate that
it is considerably mixed, and that the
statement that "the example of

President Grant of that principle is

all over the state, and before we know 1t,
every city, village and township will have It's

Indeed It is time an effort should be thought
of to bring the politics OF this country back
to some such principles, standards, or land
marks as are suggested by the name "Jeiier'

the opposite Of nearly every governmental

in all public contracts or employments, and
in the bestowment of office; unauthorized

back and told them If they could come to no

them. At that hour they sent note to the

OHIO.

The following view OF the case presented
by the Ohio democracy though not what we
are prepared exactly to endorse, yet presents
material for democrats to soberly ponder 1t
| is from the New York Hsm!d;
In OHIO the democracy have presented a
platform which operates somewhat like to
the lightning in the collied night" giving a
glimpse of light which enables the wayfarer
TO see the Chasm that yawns in his path, and
leaving him in the gloom, troubled with
wonder how he may get safely over or around
the danger. Can we get away from Grant
ism only by moving on the road that leads
ultimately to financial calamity, reputation
and dlshonor? Is the Democracy, upon
which the country counted for the overthrow
of the corrupt party now in power disposed
TO render this service only at price at which
the country cannot afford TO take il? Must
we accept the Republicans years longer,
third term and all, unless we are prepared to
give place to party which avows its pur
pose to cast down the pillars OF the temple
and bring upon us financial catastrophe
that will leave of our whole commercial and
industrial fabric and our national credit only
u ruin,-a rubbish heap for beggars to grub
in? This Is the dilemma in which the Ohio
platform places the country. There is apos'
sibility that the sky may clear little when
the Ohio conflict is over 1t is probable that
on their initiation doctrines the Democrats
will carry Ohio. With that state in their IA
vor their chances are greatly strengthened
everywhere, and it is possible that in gener-
al Democratic rally, and IN generalization
Of Democratic force the country over, there
may be enough political virtue to put down
these Ohio paper makers, the good may out
weigh the bad, and we may get a Preslden-
tial candidate whose name and record Will
be guarantee against the things threatened
in this Ohio platform, than which we do not
doubt the country would rather have all the
corruption: of the Republicans. But it does
not turn out in this way there may arise out
Of the conflict another issue-that of the res
toratiOn OF the old system by which the states
aud not the nation regulated the banks and
their issues II the Ohio people want to
multiply dollar bills till they are worth about
2 cents apiece, the people of this state have
net the same desire. And if, out OF thirty
seven states, nineteen or twenty should sym
pathze with Ohio the people of the other
states would become very FESTIVE under the
loss that this would infict, and they would
moralize with energy upon the system that
thus determined their comparatively local
concerns to suit the fanCies of the sparse In
habitants Of the lands in whlch'the love of
wildcat currency is endemic. 1t would be
a great mishap to fall again into our old sys
TEN of state currencies; but it would be al
smaller calamity than what the democrats
and perhaps preferable 10 the con-
tnuation of republican rule
