The Pioneer Press having constructed q
platform of Business Reform" upon which
'the Republican candidates are to stand it is
well enough for the voters to examine the
platfOUm to discover whether it is SubStan-
Tially constructed, or whether it is not q
regular RUDENsEIK structure composed of
mud and liable to tumble down at any mo-
meut. In the first place the head of the
ticket is put forward aS the representative
OF the business reform embodied i'm the
platform. Mr.. MERRIAM is young man
with limited public record, but what little
record ne has is worth SerUtinizing for the
purpose of gauging the business capacity of
the young nan who is pushed forward as
the evangel of reform to teach new methods
ofbusinoss to the people of St. Paul.
In the fall of 1852 Mr.. MERRIAM was
elected a member of the state legislature.
It was general matter Of surprise at the
time that the young man should expend
81, 900 in an effort to secure $500 office
Old men Shook their heads and predicted
that such extravaganza would bring any
young man 90 ruin and the friends of the
boy candidate tremhled for his fate. But
subsequent events proved that the youthful
legislator had more Ssgacious business
mind than his friends had given him credit
for That he was able to see through pretty
goOd-Sised milestone was Illustrated by lit
tie biz of history connected with his IegiSla-
tive career which we viii proceed TO relate.
On the Sth day OF February, ISIS, Mr.. MER-
RIAM introduced the following bill into the
state legislature:

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
watch Dog of the Treasury.

To the Editor of the Globe.
John W. Roche, the city comptroller, is
again before the people for reelection. lie
has been faithful public servant against
whom not single word can be said in re-
gard to his integrity and honor. For years
he has stood between the city and the con-
tractors and has saved more to the tax
payers, ten times over, than he has re-
ceived by way of compensation. Has the
time come when faithful, tried and true
man is to be cast aside and replaced by one
without experience? Has the time come when
the contractors are TO designate the
man who is to audit and adjust their ac-
counts? The only opposition to Mr.. Roche
springs from those who cannot use him and
cause him TO Swerve from the path OF
straightforward honesty. Mr.. Roche en-
tered his present office twenty years ago.
He found the records in bad shape, owing
to the want of system. Unaided and alone
he brought order out of confusion, and now
anyone with a slight knowledge of book
keeping can see at glance the condition of
our finances Can we afford to lose the ser
vices of the man who in times past has been
the watch dog between our treasury and
those who would deplete it of every dollar?
Can we afford to lose his faithful, honest
services and take up an untried
man, let every voter who owns a
dollars, worth of property in this city re-
member that by casting vote for John w.
Roche he is voting for safeguard between
him and the ravenous wolves which seek
their own welfare above and beyond the
rights of property owners, and which, if
left free to themselves. will steal every dol
lar in the treasury and render oppressive
taxation necessary. a man who for twenty
years has managed the Office of city comp
troIler so ably should be retained. So let
every honest man show his appreciation of
such ecord and vote for Mr.. Roche.
