The Republican State Convention, which
INDUCED in prolonged oreie, Yesterday
afternoon and evening, will pass into history
as one of the most disgraoeful exhibitions
ever made by political party. A candidate
for Governor vas forced upon the party
against the popular will, by the most outra-
geous frauds and corruption. It was sim
ply the rule of the most despicable and
most rascally political ring which ever
afflicted any community. For the first time

not in the public interest, but because the
old Ramsey gang of strikers wish
to retain their hold upon the public udder.
1t is in reality the old Ramsey Davis FIGHT
over again, with new principals but the same
identical elements.
The undoubtedly truthful exposures made
OF the Stearns county Pillsbury- Ramsey
gang, simply shows what the nno
which triumphed yesterday is throughout
the State. 1t is dynasty which only per-
petuates itself by the lavish use of money!,
and the most rascally, fraudulent practices.
The vote to admit the Stearns county dele

One interesting feature of the convention
was the nationality wrangle for the money
bags. Germany was defeated by the Scan.
dinavians and goes mourning about the
streets. We have no sympathy for the de-
feated nor congratulations for the successful.
Neither are deserving. So long as men
choose to tie themselves to such ring az
that which controls the Republican party of
Minnesota to-day, they deserve neither re-
spect or sympathy.
The way to remedy the evil is to give the
State over to the Democracy, for at least
brief season. The State is Republican and
IS likely to continue so, but the mi.
nority wing of the Republican party can
never hope to gain control or i'm
prove their condition unless they permit the
ring to be defeated at the polls. That is
their remedy, but so long as they fear to ap-
ply it, so long will they be spit upon as they
were yesterday. A Democratic success,
if only temporary, would purify
the political atmosphere in Mime
sofa, as nothing else will.
If the defeated wing of the party wishes to
cringe and fawn at the feet of those who
smite them. they can have the privilege for
generation after generation. When man
hood asserts itself sufficiently to rise above
party ties they can secure relief.
