There are known to be a number OF Dem
ocratic members of the legislature who are dls-
posed to vote for Senator Window as soon as IL
is demonstrated that a Democrat cannot be
elected The GLOBE attempts TO intlmldate tins
class by using the following language:
''No Democrat viii vote for Window unless he
gets cash for doing so"
The GLOBES language is an insult to several
Democrats of unimpeachable integrity who ara
personal friends of Senator Window, and VINO
will exercise their undoubted privilege OF voting
for him, despite this bare-faced attempt at bull
DOING minneapolis JOUr1tdJ.
This personal friend' dodge is simply
thrown out as a cover for the scheme the
manipulators of the Window barl hope to
consummate. The GLOBE makes no attempt
to intimidate, but simply records self
evident fact. The Democrats have held
conference and unanimously resolved to
recommend the members of their party to
vote for Judge Wilson. This IS
simply party position, and is binding
on those who claim to be party men and
belong to that organization. 1t does not
matter whether Judge Wilson can be elect
ed or not. Those who wish to maintain
their political standing in their party Will
vote for Judge Wilson until their organ
ization selects another candidate. The
Window barl men have been boasting
that they could secure DEM
ocratic votes when they needed
them and have made no concealment OF
their expectation to buy them. This is
where the ''insult" comes in, and the GLOBE
reiterates the fact that any Democrat vot-
ing for Window, under the existing cir
cumstances gives evidence of cash in hand.
In the article from which
the Journal selects sentence,
the GLOBE distinctly avowed its
belief that the boast of the Window
bar'lites was gross insult, and that no
Democrat could be found base enough to
accept bride. This belief the GLOBE re-
iterates. If a man assumes to be indie
pendent of all parties the situation is diff
ferent, but if he proposes to remain
member of political organization there
are certain bounds within which he must
remain. There is now fair prospects for
national Democratic success in 1884,
and it is not only insulting to the integri-
ty but to the political sagacity of the
Democrats for the bar'l fellows to assume
that men will cut loose from the organiza-
ton to which they have chung through
years of adversely, just as victory for their
party looms in sight. No man leaves his
organization under such circumstances
unless he has consideration, for there can
be no other motive. Every political
iuducement tends to hold him in line
for the coming success of his own party
He knows that if he cuts loose from. his
comrades at such time he, brings dis
credit both upon himself and his party
and that for all time he will be politically
ostracised. Could there be palmer case
than this that no man would pursue this
policy except he was corruptly influenced
and paid for his service?
That is the fact which the GLoBB re-
corded and now reiterates. The insulting
boasts of the WindomItes of securing
Democratic votes are simply falsehoods,
thrown out to hold their forces together
with the idea that they can buy success.
The roll call in the legislature will vindi-
cate the Democratic members and give the
lie to their traducerS
