Fargo Argus: The selection by the
republican state convention of Mime
sofa at st. Paul, of Hon. G. F. Kin
dred as one of. the electors to cast the
vote of the state for president, is a fact
of significance in view of the contest
that has excited so much feeling in
the district over the river. It is q
recognition by the party in the state
of the standing of Mr.. Kindred in the
party, and virtual endorsement of
the efforts towards pacification and
compromise. The position is one of
honor and high trust, and it's bestow-
ment with the apparent approval of
all the elements that have been an
tagonistic may be accepted as a step
toward adjustment and pacification.
All concede the eminent fitness of the
selection.

poI,tics and vital Statistics,

CINCINNATI, April ga correspondent OF
The Enquirer gives series of tables showing
the Democratic and Republican strength in
the counties of that state, and says: "Here it
is shown that there are 230,9S4 males in the
Republican counties and 222, AIS in the
Democratic counties, an excess of $500 Re-
publican males over the Democrats. AS there
are 1OS,671 in the Democratic counties over
q years old it would have 114,SO4 under
that age. In the Republican counties there
are 123 900 over 81 years old, and only 107,-
1874 under p. In the prime of life, between
is years of age and a, the Democrats have
96,65S, as compared to only 91,5O6 Republi-
cans. The Republicans have 14,419 more
males of all ages than the Democrats in
these counties, and yet they have
$50 who are 81 years old or over,
and 5lS2 less who are between the
ages of IS and A. they must therefore ex-
coed the Democrats by about 10000 of those
who are over A years old, being those who
have been with the party since 1856, and are
dying off fast. He then proceeds to show
there are less births among Republicans than
among Democrats, and at the same time
more deaths, and figures that in few years
the Democrats will be in a majority in the
state by the operations of natural increase
on one hand and natural diminution on the
other.

In speaking of the recent Repub-
lican state convention the st. Paul
Dispatch says: 1t was in many re-
poets, the most remarkable political
convocation ever assembled in Min
nesota. It accomplished results for
the party in the way Of correctly
representing the popular will, recon-
Cling personal antogonisms, promot-
ing peace and harmony, and strength
ening desirable alliances, such as no
previous convention has ever wrought.
The most obtuse observer must now
see what is the dominant element in
Minnesota Republicanism. 1t is the
honest, independent, fearless and de-
termined young men, who, unawed
by bosses and unswerved by threats,
90 in to smash all combinations, burst
all rings, give voice to the party will
and yet do justice to all its elements.
The Republican party of Minnesota
was never in so good condition as it
is to day. Yesterdays convention
placed in that condition-and the
element which controlled and guided
yesterdays convention is on deck for
the next twenty years. Make no
mistake!

The work of the state convention
can not be otherwise than satisfactory
to tair-minded men. The delegates to
Chicago, the members of the new CEN
tral committee are all selections which
will tend to harmonic all differences
IN the party and unite the Republicans
OF Minnesota so thoroughly for the
coming campaign that the majority
this fall will be greater than it has
ever been before.

Minneapolis Tribune is still fretting
its worry about Mr.. Nelson's vote on

him and all of his supporters out of

all county conventions in Mr.. Nelson's

which re-nominated him for Congress
have passed resolutions endorsing his
action in that matter, any paper, not
having a representative of innate stu
pidity at its head, would know enough

Fourteen Persons Roasted Alive.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, April 3o.-Meager
advices from Hartford, Mich, state that the
Van Buren, county poorhouse, which is los
eatei near there, was burned to the ground
during the night.
From fifteen to twenty of the unfortunate
inmates are said to have persisted in the
flames, but at the present writing none of
the names of the victims can be learned, and
the actual number of lost is shrouded in I'm.
certainty. sseS2,%
The lack of efficient fire apparatus was
sorely felt, the employees Of the institution
being able to do but little toward fighting
the flames, owing to the panic which pre-
vailed. The loss is not heavy, being proba=
bly, not over SIS, 900, as the building was not
q valuable one Further particulars are
hourly expected. tsesf

Sad W0rds-It might have been.

st. Paul Globe: The Democrats in
the Fifth district might have hope
lessly and permanently divided the
Republicans two years ago by uniting
with the kindred faction and defeat
ing Nelson. Instead of doing so they
fell to abusing the Globe for giving
them good advice. The placing of
Mr.. Kindred at the head of the Re-
publican electoral ticket will undoubt-
eddy harmonic matters in that dis
trict, and enable the Republicans to
give Nelson about fifteen thousand
majority this year.
Waseca Radical: Wakefield Nelson
and Strait voted to take up the Nor
rison tariff bill because their consti-
tuents wanted them to, but they are
not so sure about voting for the pas
sage of the bill. They should not be
too backward or thinskinned in the
matter of voting. There is no doubt
that the agricultural classes, at least,
of Minnesota-and that class greatly

whereby the rich are made richer and
the poor poorer, as is done by pro-
tective tariff. Let Minnesota look

BelVa Is Eligible.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept l9.-The ques
ton of female eligibility to the presidency is
being mooted largely iii Washington in con-
nection with Mrs BeIva Lockwood's nomina-
tion for that office by the "Equal-Rights
party" Mrs Lockwood asserted in an in
terview that there was no constitu-
tional inhibition TO the election of a WON all
president In the Kansas contest last session
of Wood against Peters, which involved the
eligibility of state judge to be elected to
congress in violation of the Kansas state con-
stitution the elections committee took the
ground, which was sustained by the
house, that no state could add to
the qualifications prescribed in the
constitution for representative in congress
The point was made by the contestant that
while Susan B. Anthony, if elected to con
gresS, possessed all the qualifications of age,
citizenship and inhabitancy required by the
constitution, yet, being a woman, she
was ineligible under the laws of New
York. The elections committee took the
opposite view, and the house practically de
cided in this case that ii woman possessing
the constitutional qualifications was eligible
to seat in congress, no state having the
right to superadd prerequisites to those pre-
scribed in the second section of article l oi
the constitution of the United States.
