Al. WHITMAN,
The Duluth Democratic Candidate
For tho LsgislAturs from tho 46 Dis
tr;st, nskss Hi Bow t. the
People Of thst City.

The following are extracts from his
speech Of the 22d, at the Opera House,
and published in the Duluth Evening
Herald of Oct. Pad, 1884:
"When accepted :he nomination
for the Legislature, at the handS ri
the Democratic pssty. / did not re-
ceive it so much because I WAS q
Democrat as because I was resi-
dent of that portion of the district
which is entitled to the first and best
services of representative and be-
cause the opposing candidate was
from a small and spa rsely settled
county, county which At the last
election cast but 600 votes. -
-. -,
81 have consented to be a canGi-
date solely: on the ground that it. is
not for the weltarnofll,is the 41>,,-
lest end of the district to be ~wagged
by the poorest. Our interests are of
too much Importance to be confine d
to the care of a stranger, and ( W ish
to say that if elected, while neglect
ing no part of the district, my
especial attention will be given to this
ehd of it. We have the greatest
wealth, the largest business, the most
important industries and the major
|ity of the votes. For every reason,
therefore, should we have the repre-:
sentatives." =.
Read, ponder and reflect! Do the
people of this district want to send
man to the legislature whose sole
interest is bounded by the city limits
of Duluth or even of st. Louis
county?

The Republican Rally at Peake's
Hall, Tuesday evening, was we'll at
tended. The speakers were ex-Gov.
Austin of Fergus Falls. ex-Lieut.
Gov. Barto, of Sank Centre, and the
Hon. Knute Nelson, of Alexandria.
The first speaker was Gov. Austin.
He carefully reviewed the tariff ques.
tion and produced some very good ar~
guments in favor of maintaining pro-
tective tariff. Gov. Barto next took
the stand and briefly reviewed the
platforms of tho different political
parties, and endeavored to show
wherein the Republican platform WAS
the most substantial and reliable.
He showed, exclusively, that the
Democratic party had always been for
the past Is years on the opposite side
of every good measure that had been
brought before the people. Mr.. Bar
to's speech was a very able one, and
made good impression upon the audi
ence. 1t was then Mr.. Nelson's turn
to talk. His speech was confined
mostly to the subject Of States Rights.
He showed that the Democratic party
had always been preaching States
rights, and were therefore in favor of
weakening the powers of the United
States Government and strengthening
the powers of the States. He showed
that the Republican party had always
fought this and would always contia-
ue to do so. He claims that this par.
ticular= question should be considered
ma Of the most important of the sew.

The Tammany nomination of Grant
for m ayor of New York against ex.
Mayor Grace, nominated by the Coun-
ty or Irving Hall Democrats, clearly
means the defeat of Cleveland, if the
charges and counter-charges of the
organs of the two factions are to he
believed. On the one hand. the 1rv-
ing Hall people and the Independent
Republican papers charge that Kelley
has entered into deal with John
O'Brien by which Tammany Hall is
to sacrifice Cleveland in exchangesfor
Republican votes for Grant. On the
other hand, the Tammany organ, the
Star, charges that the introduction of
ex.Mayor Grace as aAon-partisan can
didate means that the Democratic op-
p6nents Of Tammany are preparing to
trade for Blaine. It closes an .editori.
al on the subject with the following
significant paragraphs: !
Despite all til cir fierce ardor at Chic
ago, and all their ostentatlous pledges
Of loyalty now, the County Democracy
think much more of Thompson and
his commissionership, this moment
than of Cleveland and the presidency.
The organization had its birth in the
Eopth allianeeaAwith the, Republicans
which made Mr.. Cooper mayor. It
promises to: exhaust its expiring oner-
gies in making Mr.. Blaine president.
1t has fatty ignored and disregarded
all the pleadingS of the national and
state Democratic committees. It may
defeat Cleveland, but it cannot elect
Grace.
Whichever way this quarrel over
the maycralty is looked at, therefore,
it means that either faction cares more
for the mayoralty than 1T cares for
the presidency. The Republicans
have practically no ticket in the field,
none ut least that they have the slight
est hope of electing. A good many of
them probably care more for the
presidency than they care for the
choice between one Democratic mayor
and another. 1t is not difficult to fig
ure out from these conditions that
Cleveland is likely to fall between the
two stools, and that Blaine will gain
immensely from the quarrel between
the rival factions. New York is ap.
parently as sure for Blaine rs Massa.

TIE CASE or TIE PIEG1yS.

The latest and most authentic information regard
ing the PIeean Indians shows TINT while they can
hardly escape severe suffering this winter, measures
have been taken by the Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs and the Interior Department which II -
hoped will preserve them from starvation. III ap-
pears from the report of the Agent that Their" are
now $500 Piegans on the Blackfect Reservation,
and that rs per cent Of these or 1919, are depend
ent upon Government supplies for their subsistence
The appropriation for the current fiscal year. avail
able for their relief is only 1000. about three
cents per day per head. Because of the faut-indng
of Democratic congressman. the Department re-
Gently adopted rule that the Agent should limit
his issues of subsistence for each week to oncfty-
second part of the supplies for the year. This order
however il not to be enforced i'm the present case the
Agent having been authorized to issue, batveen now
and the end of March, all the supplies provided for
the period ending June 80 if it be necessary to do So
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has also trans
ferred about 800 900 from the appropriations OF less
needy tribes for the benefit of the Picgans and he
has expended for subsistence stores E5l 300. and
81, 2D0 for clothing
In case Of emergency supplies can be borrower
from the military posts, but there VIII be dlhcultes
about transportation. II seems also that II the chill
dren could be brought into n boarding school they
conld be fed ont of a fund which is not otherwise
for only twenty children ont OF several hundred on
the reservation The Piegans are now on haif
rations. and must so remain during the winter
That is to say. plainly. that they are and will be
half starved This Is the result Of first forcing them
upon n reservation which will not support them
and then refusing sufficient appropriation TO Keep
them alive Congress is IN fault ms 10 the appropria
ton II Is picco of petty parsmony, probably
undertaken without any inquiry as 10 the consc-
oucnces The commissioning mud the Interior De-

or decent thing to put down to the credit OF the

hoyen no difficulty in proving that throughout that
long period the Democratic party has been ON

has arisen.
During the war Democracy implied treason

declared the war to be iaiNrc, and was ready
TO make craven peace on any terms. IL Stood
in the way of the abolition of slavery and OF the
cnfronchiscmcnt of a race. II obstructcd re-
construction, and sought to cheat the Unlon out
of the practical results of the wai. 1t
attempted to pull down the National banks, to
flood the country with irrcdecmabe currency,
and to break the sacred pledge of National
honor involved in the resumption OF specie
payments. 1t organized lawlcss bands of white
desperadocs and stole away the civil rights OF
the blacks. 1t encouraged intimidation and
ballot. box pollution and converted the new
South into pocket borough which might al
ways be at its disposal. 1t plotted against every
industry of the country and sought to reduce
all classes of workingmcn to the level of Euro
pcan pauper labor.
1t is one long record of blunderS and crimes.

ocracy as bankrupt in morals as in patriotism

PROTECTION FOR UORhINGMEN.

| Just in time to clinch the argument III favor
| of the American policy of protection comes the
official report of our cOnsuls in Europe a. to the
| wages of labor and the cost of living there and
here. Though this will be in some respects the
most valuable document ever issued by the
State Department, its printing has been
strangely delayed; but THE TRIBUNE has
attained through its Washington Office the
essential facts set forth III the official reports
and they will be read TO day with deep interest.
Nowhere should they be read with greater
attention than in this city, Brooklyn and Jersey
CITY. where 100000 persons were earning III
| 1850 wages amounting to 3le,)oO,OoO
yearly. According to the latest previous com
| garrison, at the British rate Of wages these
pcople would be getting only %l96, 100000
yearly. or 1921, 100000 less than they now
receive.
But the later official investigation make the
compa,ison still more startling, Woikmcn III
