50 HE DID.

A friend of Gov. HUBBARD calls the at
tention of the GLOBE to the fact that On
two separate occasions the governor called
the attention of the state legislature to the
loose methods which prevail in the matter
of public accounting and which have been
referred to by the GLOBE i'll its review Of
the public examiners report. An exami-
nation of the governors messages to the
legislatures of 1888 and 1885 shows that on
each occasion he did direct the attention of
the legislature to this subject. In 1888 be
saws that it appeared from the public ex-
aminer's report ''much carelessness and
neglect did prevail relative to the official
bonds of the treasurers or disbursing officers
of some of the institutions and their boards
of control" and Re urges that these defects
should be remeded without delay. as they
might result in much public loss.
Again in 1885 he dwells more at
length on the suggestions contained
in the examiners report and mildly
rebukes the legislature for its fail
ure to give attention to former recon-
mendations in the following language: "A
remedy for this is so apparent and so
urgently demanded by the simplest princi-
nles applicable to all business methods,
that il would seem only necessary to call
attention to this defect in the system to
have the remedy promptly applied" And
vet. Notwithstanding this criminally loose
svstem in dealing with the public finances

ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN.

The Democrats of the Third district did
grand days work yesterday. In their
harmonious and unanimous nomination of
Judge MACDONALD, one of the most popu-
lar men in the state, they have practically
insured the representation of the Third
district in the next congress of a Democrat
who will be not the representative of a
clique, class or party, but of the people
first and above everything else. For not
only will Judge MACDONALD go to congress
by means of Democratic votes alone. IRE
spective of party affiliations the people Of
his district, as they have in the past with
regard to other public positions, will unite
in selecting him as their representative,
confident that he will discharge the trust
their best interests He is man
with an enviable and unblemished
record, who will reflect in the
discharge of the duties to which he will
be called cledit upon himself, honor upon
his district and state. In contrast with
those of his Republican opponent his quail
6cations are most marked. and his elec-
ton will follow as a certainty. But
the friends of Judge MACDONALD
should not allow the sarety of victory
to lessen the ardor with which they
will enter the campaign in his behalf.
With enthusiastic cooperation they should
enter the canvass with the determination to
send him to congress behind such majority
as his well-proven merits warrant. And
It
full in the performance of this pleasant duty.
With such representatives as Judge MAC
DONALD. EDMUND RICE and Judge WILL
SON, Minnesota will take the place she de-
serves in the councils of the nation.

has been repeatedly brought to the atten-
ton of successive Republican legislatures
by the public examiner and remedy urged
by the governor, the same old no-sys-
TEN prevails. Republican legislatures have
been too busiIy employed in promoting the
interests of the wheat rings, the state house
rings, the land rings and the railroad rings
to give any attention to matters pertaining
to the protection of the public moneys.
The machine bosses didn't want the public
treasury protected. They preferred loose
system of public accounting. There were
obvious reasons for this preference. And
as long as the Republican party is continued
in power in this state the same old careless
methods will continue to prevail. The only
way to get a reform is to reform the party
out of power

BARTON, BOOM.
Row Near the Rice County CandI-
date Ca amc TO Being Nominated.


The movement in favor of Barton came
near assuming formidable proportions, much
nearer than most people imagine, and at
one time 1t was not the small affair it turned
out to be. Barton had secured promise
of the support of Rice, GOodhue and Da-
kota counties, and with these twenty votes
he calculated that it would not be hard
matter to get additional strength. BartOn's
friends allege that r. G. Libby. of Hast
ings. had agreed to support him with the
votes of that county. With this understand
ing he came up to the convention and made
an effort for the nomination. The reason
for Barton's inactivity after the Rice county
delegation had been instructed for him, the
impression thus getting abroad that he had
Withdrawn from the race, was that he
waited for the result of the Northfeld con-
vention. He did not intend to make the
race if Reed or Denny got the nomination,
but he was willing to stand against Her
bert. After Herbert's nomination the time
was so brief before the Chaska convention
met. that Barton had no chance to make
any canvass, but he had Rice, and Libby's
promise of Dakota. Senator Hall was also
willing to aid him with Goodhue. Hall
was also the choice of Kandiyohi and
Meeker. and it was calculated that he
would be able to transfer this strength to
Barton. This was the plan, and Barton
came to Chaska expecting that it would be
carried out. but Libby, after arriving here,
told Barton Dakota county would leave to
go for Macdonald. and Hall found he could
not induce the Kandiyohi and Meeker dele
gates to vote for Barton. and thus the plan
failed, but one can see how near it came to
success. and how narrow was the escape of
Judge Macdonald.

Chip. and Spliuters.

Senator Hall says he would have been
candidate for the Democratic COMPRESSION al
nomination if any one but Herbert had been
nominated by the Republicans. But he and
Herbert are personal friends, and besides, he
could not draw the Republican strength that
he would from any one else. He reached the
determination, before the Northfield coDven-
tion, that he would not stand If Herbert was
nominated. This was generally understood.
Dakota county refused to support Barton,
and that broke up the combination. The
Barton men claim that if Dakota had stood by
them they could have drawn sufficient
strength from other counties to have nomi-
mated their candidate. This was all that was
lacking to make the Barton boom q formid.
able one.
Anderson, of Carver, merchant of that
place, is candidate for the senate to sue
ceed Senator Ackerman. 1t is asserted that
he can be elected, although Senator Acker-
man is very popular with the Germans. Mr..
Anderson says Carver county will give Ames
a good majority.
Senator Peck says Judge Macdonald is the
first candidate in twenty years who has fully
and clearly outlined the principles and plat
form upon which the campaign would be
conducted.
Nordin says every drop of his North ern
blood will be spilled, if necessary. In defense
of Ames. Mr.. Nordn says he has not be-
come Democrat entirely, but he can't stand
the methods of some of the Republican
tricksters.
The court house was decorated with flags
and bunting. and a large portrait OF Ceve-
land and Hendricks occupied conspicuous
position over the chairmans desk.
The parade was not imposing. but the d ele-
gates who marched looked as If they had
come to nominate man who would ba GER
tain winner.
Senator Hall says Ames will get an as
toundingly large vote in Goodh1e county.
He is astonished at the strength be is devel-
oping.
Both Fred and George A. Du Toit agree
upon one point-that Ames will have 500 ma
jorty in Carver county and that he will be
elected.
Every man you meet here is for Ames.
McGill men are scarcer than hens teeth.
Defeat is not dreamed of. Everybody talks
of victory.
Marshal Denny says he has never had any
understanding with McGill about the coal Oil
inspectorship and had never heard before
that such thing was contemplated.

REMARKABLE FoRGETFULNEss.

REMARKABLE FORG Elf ULN ESS'
Gov. PLLsBURY must be very absent
minded man. He says that he forgot he
was miller when he agreed to accept the
Craftsmanship of the Republican state CEN
traI committee. Of course the governor is
entitled to credit for the sincerity of his
statement. But it does seem singular that
there should have been the appearance of
so much method in this kind OF forgetful-
ness. The result of all this absent
mindedness has been to put the wheat ring
right on top in the Republican deal. Take
Mr.. MCGILL'S nomination, for instance.
While all of Mr.. MCGILL's supporters may
not have been members of the wheat ring,
it is a singular fact that all the members of
the wheat ring were supporters Of Mr..
MCGIIL. According to Gov. PnLsBURY's
view of it, this may have been an innocent
occurrence, brought about without any
ulterior design at the bottom of it. Simply
the result of sent-mindedness, you know.
But it is still more singular that in this
spirit of forgetfulness the Republican state
convention should have stumbled on can
didate for acknowledgements who in times
past had been particularly serViceable to
the wheat ring. By reference to the jour
nal of the last state senate it will be OBJ
served that Senator RICE voted every time
against the popular SToRDoCK bill, and
even went so far in his friendship for the
grain speculators as to vote against the
provisions for an open grain market. With
McGILL at the head of the ticket, with
Senator RICE occupying the second place
on the ticket, with Gov. PILLsBURY at the
head of the campaign committee and the
whole wheat ring contributing to the Re-
publican campaign fund, it really looks to
the farmers of Minnesota as if there was too
much methodical forgetfulness about the
whole business.

A MONEY AND DIRT CAMPAIGN

MONEY AND DIRT CAMPAIGN.
They want money, and they want 1t IN
larCe amounts. Such is the summary OF the
Republican platform as it was agreed to by
the Republican state central committee IN
secret session in this city Wednesday after
noon. 1t was generally agreed by the COM
mlrtee that nothing less than $780,
OOn would meet the emergencies OF
the campaign. OF course the wheat
rings will be drawn on heavily to make up
this amount and the assessments on the
candidates and the members of the state
bousa ring Will be expected TO make up the
residue. This is a good deal OF money TO
he evDended in one state campaign by the
dominant party, which affects to believe
that there is no danger of defeat. 1t was
nor expected that the proceedings OF this
secret conference would be given to the
nubllc. But with its characteristic
facility for getting all the news that
is going. the GLOBE presented its readers
Yesterday morning with full and accurate
and exclusive report of the conference
Now the question is, what does the Re-
publican state central committee expect to
do with such large amount OF money?
There is only one answer. They intend to
make an effort to buy the election OF the
Republican state ticket. They are conscious
of the general revolt throughout the state
against the domination of the wheat ring.
and more particularly in the Fifth district.
Consequently they put their heads together
and agree that an effort shall be made to
buy enough votes to make up the loss OF
the disaffected element of honest Republl-
can farmers who will not hold their noses
to the wheat ring grindstone. Then again
they concur in the opinion that the personal
popularity of the Democratic candl-
date for governor is a serious menace
TO the success of the ring ticket. And
accordingly they agree that campaign OF
personal villifcation shall at once be IN
augurated, and that circulars shall be DIS
tributed broadcast over the state, traducing
the character of the man whose popularity
they dread. Such. in brief, is the kind Of
2 campaign the Republican bosses have
outlined-a campaign of money and dirt.
IT must be very desperate strait that sug-
gests such indecent methods in the conduct
of a canvass. But there is consolation in
the knowledge that the great bulk OF the
neople of Minnesota are decent and unpur-
cbasable. and will not be affected by such a
campaign further than to be anxious to re-
sent and rebulze such unhallowed practices
bv giving the Democratic ticket the largest
majority ever known in the history OF the
state

EXPOSITION ART.

Judging from the crowds which throng
the art gallery at the Minneapolis Exposi-
ton, that is feature of the great show
which the people of the Northwest heartily
appreciate. And they should. Never be-
fore west of Chicago has there been such
collection of artistic treasures and by
the people of no city would they be more
intelligently enjoyed than by the inhabi-
tants of the Twin Cities The art gallery
is easily the most notable feature of the
Exposition and alone would justify the
presence of the thousands of visitors. While
its merits have not, perhaps, been made as
widely known as they deserve. no one who
has visited it would hesitate in declaring
the exhibit to be worthy of the highest
possible praise. 1t is no collection of in
artistic and dIlletante daubs, but comprises
some of the best work of the most
noted artists. The Titan ''Venus and
Cupid" BIERsTAEDT's wonderful piece
of coloring, The Matterhorn." and BRAD
FoRD'S glowing ''Polaris in Thank God
Harbor," would of course be notable in the
most costly and extensive collection, but
beside these there are hundreds of artistic
gems deserving long and careful study.
1t is unfortunate. therefore, considering the
delight which this wealth of Art has af-
forded thousands during the past few weeks.
that the people of the Northwest have not
shown their appreciation in more practi-
cal way by purchasing some of the exqui-
site paintings. 1t is to be feared that an
other year famous artists will be less will
ing to place the fruits of their genius upon
exhibition at the Exposition unless they re-
ceive encouragement of the kind indicated.
There is wealth enough and taste enough
in the Northwest to retain a large portion
of the present art exhibit in Minneapolis
and st. Paul, and it should be done. The
local art connoisseurs who neglect to do so
will miss grand opportunity.
