THOSE SUSPENSIONS.

The Republicans are not disposed to be
pleased with Mr.. CLEVELAND no matter
what he does. If he appoints a Democrat
to succeed Republican postmaster, the
Republican organs and stump speakers say
that he is too partisan and has no respect
for the civil service law. Now that he has
suspended two Democratic officials for tax
ing an active part in the political campaigns
in their respective states, these same organs
and stump speakers cry out against the
president, charging him with an effort to
suppress the freedom of speech and of dis
playing entirely too much civil service zeal.
So far as the partisan organs and stump
speakers are concerned 1t doesn't make any
difference what opinions they express con-
cerning the presidents position in relation
to these matters. Mr.. CLEVELAND is
making an effort to please the great mass
of his countrymen without regard to what
the politicians say or think. And he is
succeeding most admirably. 1t is true that
his civil service regulations do seem a
little harsh to some people. Office
holders have been so accustomed to
having full sweep in the political field

A CO\TR Crr

Voters of Minnesota, look upon the two
pictures presented below, and then de-
eide to whom you wish to give your ballots:
McGILL is the tool of the wheat ring;
MCGILL is the leading spirit of the state
house ring;
MoGnL is the plant friend of monopo-
listic railroad officials;
McGIIL has been feeding at the public
treasury for sixteen years;
MCGILL has had only the experience of
an insurance clerk to fit him for the exalted
Office of governor;
MCGILL as governor would be mere
fgure-head, and the millionaire ring would
manipulate the position;
McGILL. in short, would be a puppet to
be moved at his masters desire.
But on the contrary:
AMEs is noted for his sturdy independ-
ence;
AMEs, as governor, would be the crea-
ture of no class or clique;
AMEs is a man of the people and sympa-
thizeS with them;
AMEs has had executive experience emf
nently Qualifying him for higher public
position;
AMEs can be relied upon to do all in his
power to aid the cause of the laboring man;
AMEs is the implacable foe of every ring
or monopoly;
AMEs is being met with a whirlwind of
enthusiasm wherever he appears, and
finally,
AMEs will be elected.
Voters of Minnesota. you cannot retain
your independence and self-respect by vOt-
ing for McGILL, who would perpetuate the
corrupt methods of the ring. Vote for
AMEs and honest government,

AN IMPRESSION CORRECTED.

n y
The Duluth Tribune. which, in its sturdy
independence, refused to submit to party
dictation that would compromise its princi-
pies. and also refused to support Ring Candi-
date MCGILL. calls attention, in an admir-
ably-written article. to the glaring falSity OF
the assertion that MCGILL is the farmers
candidate. 1t points out that there were
361 delegates in the convention. Of these
Mr. GILMAN had 100 TO start with. mostly
farmers, Mr.. GIBBS had about 100. all
farmers, and MCGILL had the balance.
But these were far from representing the
farmers, They came chiefly from Mime
apolis. st. Paul. Winona, Mankato and
lesser towns. The farmer delegates cut
hardly any figure in the MCGILL following,
but were completely overshadowed by the
city delegates MCGILL accordingly was not
nominated by the farmefs but in spite OF
them, and in a way that was a distinct in
suit to every farmer in the convention who
had the courage of his convictions and pre-
sumed to oppose the arrogant ring which is
now begging so hard for the votes Of those
whom it then treated with contempt.
Farmers of Minnesota, show the ringSters
that you are not to be trified with like
spoiled children. Cast your votes for
AMEs, show the Republican manipulators
that you are men, honest and incorrupt-
ible, and secure for the state what it sadly
needs. clean and decent government.

.iUDGE WILSON'S TRuTMPH.

The ring organs accuse Judge WILSON
Of egotism. 1t would be little singular,
when man with Judge WILSON'S record
of long and honorable career OF public
usefulness should be brought in comparison
with the tattooed Republican candidate for
congress in the First district, if the Judge
didn't experience a feeling of personal
pride and qualification. At least that is the
way the judges friends and supporters
feel about it. At the same time. it must be
admitted by all fair-minded people that in
view of all the facts and circumstances.
Judge WILSON has deported himself with
becoming modesty. There has been no
self exaltation. He has simply said to the
people of his district: Here we are, Mr..
LOVELY and myself. candidates for your
suffrages. Here are our records. Take
them and judge We between u.s." He
couldn't have said less. and he has not at
tempted to say more. All the laudation

No sooner had the Pioneer Press given
circulation to the calumny against Senator

that Mr.. GILFILLAN has not yet made
affidavit that he has not been connected
with the pine-land steal. Mum is the word

CORRUPT POLITICAL METHODS.
''Our Political Methods" is the title of an
interesting essay in the current number of
The Forum. written by DAVID DUDLEY
FIELD. The article in question is a valua
bic contribution to political literature. but
if Mr.. FIELD wants to get real pointers on
corrupt political methods ne ought to come
to Minnesota and stay over night with the
managers of the Republican campaign in
this state. For all sorts of crOOkedness and
a general assortment of political deviltry
the wheat ring bosses deserve the chrome.
Together with mudslinging, defamation of
character, circulating bogus ballots, issuing
private circulars of instructions to the
numberless ring tools throughout the state.
ring combinations and ring despOtlsm,
cracking the party whip, the lavish ex-
penditure of money for corrupt purposes,
concocting schemes to rob the ballot boxes
at the election and a thousand and one
other devices for thwarting the will of the
people and handing the entire state govern
ment over to the ring bosses, there has
never been an instance in American politics
of such unparalleled corruption and politi-
cal chicanery as is now to be seen in the
conduct of the Republican campaign in this
state New York has been tough enough
in its day, but Republican Minnesota takes
