The Republican Ward Bosses
! To the Editor of Tie Tribune
| CHICAGO, June 14.-THE TRB uSE traces Repub-
| lican defeats TO Republican nominating conyan-
tions.
| What influences these conventions,
glance at stheir composition discioses the secret
It is quite generally known that At least five
wards in Chicago are what may be termed S'pet-
sonal wards, wards wherein one individual con-
trols,-who can name the delegates beforehand and
elect them.
To this individual IN Office seeker may apply and
leave with him certain sum OF moneys and. II the
amount is satisfactory. that ward delegation will
vote for that Office seeker in convention.
Republican clubs in the wards referred to are go
largely conposed Of free-iunch hends and bum
mers that decency and rcspectability are either
excluded, ontyoted, or counted out.
The political pri1na donna assemblies and unftes
nll the vicious elements of his ward by moneys
contributed by his fsvorte candidates for the vart
ous Offices and from these elements chooses his DEL
egates to the nominating convention, where, after
doing his bidding. they crown their labo.s BY chos-
ing their ''Boss'' member Of the Republican
Central Committee and with their gains. in-gotten
and expected, adjourn to seek comfortable board
ing places during ''elcction times" The Central
COMMITTED proceed to0n as chosen, to levy pol1t
fcal assessments unon all the nominees, ana divide
up the money among themselves as ward represent
The .'Boss- Of Ward" {for such our Central
Committeeman may now be conaidered} places this
money where 1t will do the most good 70 Mnself).
During the campaign his strikers md blowers must
be fed on the crumbs that fall from hs political
table; but, since he is responsible to no one but
bimsclf for his wards portion Of the money, pre-
sumaby he keeps the lions share Of il. FOR, after
election is over, his body guard Of wretches and
Feeders on broken meats disband, md snbsisr the
best way they can until needed again.

chised and II. perchance the ballot IL found at
Inst to contain votes Of too many citizens opposed
into returning board and count them ont. The
men chosen TO act as primary judges are usually
endowed with muiishness TINT suits them to
ndupt ono course az we'll as their lack OF moral
honesty does the other,-ail Is immsterial 90 that
their master succeeds. ...
Sometimes a powerful opposition IN the ward
compels the Boss to summon to his assistance one
or more men who inhsbit the border-lsnd Of de-
cency and respectabil1ty, and these might refuse
his IL money, but are ready to be elected or ap-
pointed to some minor office, IN consideration for
which they do bits bidding and insult the populace;
and 90 doe. ward history repeat Itself in the Re-
publican party, and the Democrats are ten times az
bad. Such is the cause. What is the curef One

to be made responsible to the Congress in
all matters. While we boast that this is q
republican government, the fact remains
that England, France, and even Spain are
nearer to the true republican idea than we.
In those countries an administration or a
policy IS changed promptly upon the vote of
the Legislative assemblies, while here, no mat
ter how radically Congress and the cabinet
may differ, the country is compelled to submit
until Presidential election rolls around,
and the questions at issue can be submitted
to the people. Congress, more especially
the lower house, is the mouthpiece of
the people. The members are chosen every
two years, and represent, more faith
fully than any other body of men, the tenn
per of the people. The cabinet may not
represent the people in any respect, and yet
it is independent of the people and their
representatives. TO make the government
truly republican, it ought to be patterned
after that of England SO far as it makes the
tenure of office of the cabinet depend upon
the approval of the popular branch of Con-
gress. If such change was made, we
would enjoy the blessings of representa-
tive form of government more completely
than we now do, for it would be subject to
change at any time that the exigencies of
tho times might require. The cabinet min
listers unquestionably ought to have voice
in the debates of Congress, and they ought,
also, to depend upon acquiescence in the will
of tie majority of the people for their con-
tinuance in Office.

SENATOR MCDONALD, who has Stewards nom :
NATION. says that two days ago an Illinois
Congressman, whom he will not name, came to
him and showed him telegram asking that
action be postponed until the person signing
the telegram could be heard from. Mcdonald
Will mention no Names but said he felt bound
to give the man chance to be heard. It is
supposed that the telegram was from Baker.
The above is the way a correspondent of
Bill Kings paper puts it. The member of
the House who received the telegram was
Springer, of Illinois. One of the clerks in
the Surveyor Generals office has been to
the Probate Office to secure a transcript of
the settlement of the Perdue estate when
Dr. Stewart was guardian. This has been
sent to Washington, though it is difficult to
see what bearing it has ON the case. Gen.
Baker is about the last man who should

Crookston Journal.

A granger brought two wolf pelts to Coun-
ty Auditor Christianson's office this week
and demanded the bounty. s.All right" said
John; "did you leave their heads on?''
YES" replied the granger, ''but I have
killed four and did not know that the law
requires that the head should not be scalped
before the auditor had seen them, until
had skinned two of them, but those two are
all right anyhow" However, when he came
to take the affidavit required by law the
granger found that he was not entitled to it
because the time provided by law had ex-
PRED. We published the law relating to
wolf bounties last winter, and had this gran
ger been subscriber he would have known
just what to do to secure his
bounty. Six times the cost of the
Journal for year lost, because he did not
take his home paper! Thus one item alone
would have procured his paper whole year
and left him $40 clear. We do not gloat
over the misfortunes of any man, and it is
not in that spirit that we relate these facts,
but it happens that before we published the
law relating to wolf bounties we had asked
this very man to subscribe for the Journal,
and his reply was that che couldn't afford

cllnch the argument that we have always
used, that every man in Polk county can af-
ford to have his county paper, nay, more, no
man can afford to be without it. Moral
