in our country who by the influence of their
united wealth, could paralyze the industries
OF the country and create such financial
crisis as would spread disaster throughout
the land. He is indeed happy optimist who
does not feel that this is in some degree a
menace to society. a struggle is pending in
the near future between this overgrown
power, with its vast ramifcations all over the
Union and hard grip on much Of the politi-
cal machinery on the one hand and the people
in an organized condition on the other, for the
control of the government. Tt will be watched
BY EVERY PATRIOT
with intense anxiety. The transportation of
the country as we'll as the manufactures Of
the country are thus controlled, SO that ev-
cry member Of the community is subject to
their influence. l would not be understood
that mean 10 say that it is reprehensible to
thus accumulate capital for this purpose. 1t
is not onfy proper but necessary TO do so.
Transportation by steam, by water or by
land, is one of the necessities of modern civ
1liZat1on,, steam engine is one OF the ne
cessities of modern civilization, too, but each
would be dangerous unless controlled by Wig
nance and proper power. What wish to
say, therefore, is that these instrumentalities
which have grown up must be controlled by
the people or they will be dangerous to the
people. am opposed to all kinds of SUBJ
sldy, either of land or money in aid of this or
any other enterprise. Tue interest of the
people, so far as my observation goes is always

under such circumstances, and the benefit
has been to the few and the wealthy, and
am equally opposed to that other and more
Objectionable form of subsidy, namey.a high
protective tariff to aid and build up the strong
and rich at the expense of the weak and the
poor. Political corruption, perhaps, more
than anything else, like the dead fly in the
1lrrfo t,N1n
cal corruption do not mean only the corrupt
use of money. include all corrupt comb1na-
tionS to control nominations or electlons
against the will or without the assent Of the
people. Men who will resort to or counte-
nance any such means to obtain or retain
office are unfit for any place and would use
their places for their own end, regardless OF
the interest of their constituency. We must
stand up for better methods, and stand by our
president in his efforts to purify the public
service.

REJOICING AT AUSTIN.
Special to the Globe.
AUSTIN, Minn., Aug. 24.-The news of
Wilson's nomination and acceptance caused
much satisfaction to both Democrats and
those Republicans who are dissatisfied with
Lovely. There was demonstration in his
favor here tonight and the band played
and the cannon doomed.
CONVENTION NOTES.
To-day's convention was the larg est Demo
cratic gathering ever held in this district.
There is much enthusiasm manifested on
all hands at Wilson's nomination, and the
general feeling is that he will be elected by q
large majority. The delegates from all the
counties say the judge stands very high in
the estimation of the people, and that the
disaffection in the Repub lican ranks, coupled
with his own strength. will insure him very
cordial support everywhere.
The laboring men were we'll represented in
the Wtnona county delegation and took an
active part in all that was going on, which re-
pudiates in very forcible manner the pre-
tense that Mr. Lovely has gobbled the labor
vote of this city, as some of his supporters
still claim.
Judge Rand of Minneapolis was around
among his Democratic friends at the conven-
ton.
Hon. II. r. Wells, Preston-I think Judge
Y .lson the strongest man that could be
nominated, and. judging from the present
sentiment of the people, he will be elected by
q large majority. He is very popular with
the people down in our county and besides
receiving the united support of the Demo-
Gratis, will get many votes from the Republi-
can ranks. His record as a judge and an at
torney is well known and his record in the
legislature is highly satisfactory.
A. J. Leach, Dodge-Judge Wilson will be
elected by large majority. You have no
idea of the amount Of dlsaffection in our
county. There are scores of Republicans
there who will vote for him.
Hon. John Frank, Mower-Mower county
will be almost unanimous for Judge Wilson,
and am very glad that he was induced to
run. He will be elected without doubt.
Hugh Murray, Steele-He will receive a big
vote in our county and although there is a
large majority to overcome, l think he will
be elected.
DR.. Milligan, Wabasha-The judge will be
elected. Wabasha county will give him big
majority.
Judge S. NJ. Rand, Minneapolis-Judge
Wilson will be the next member of congress.
He will receive q large support from the
Scandinavians. If necessary 1 would be
willing to take the stump myself in this dis
trict in his behalf.
Hon. John Ludwig-He will be elected by
large majority.
Editor Leicht of the Westlicher Herald
Judge Wilson will get big vote among the
German Republicans and will be elected.
