HON. A. r. McGILL

Franz Labor Echo.
We present this week a cut of The
Labor EchO's candidate for Governor of
the State of Minnesota, Hon. Andrew T.
McGill, editor and proprietor of the st
Peter Tribune, and insurance commits
sioner of the State of Minnesota. Mr.
McGill Is man of about 46 years of age,
Pennsylvania by birth, and decend-
ant of the Revolutionary Scott; his
grandfather having participated in the
great contest for liberty.
He is no stranger to Minnesotians,
having lived in this State for more than
twenty-five years. At an early date he
settled at St. Peter, and for a number
of years was principal of the public
schools and county superintendent of
schools in Nicollet county.
During the four years Of Gov. Austin's
administration, Mr.. McGill was his pri-
vate secretary and most trusted friend
and adviser. 1t was during this admin
stration that the famous land-grab bill.
which was simply scheme to rob the
State of one-half million acres of land
for the benefit of railroad corporation,
was passed. Every effort was made to
secure the Governors approval of the
bill, and Mr.. McGill stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in opposing the
scheme. Be it said to the Governors
credit, that he manfully resisted. 1t is
fact well known to Mr.. McGilPs more
intimate friends that the most strenuous
efforts were made to secure his support
of the measure in the hope that he
would in time influence the Governor.
He gave the tempters to understand
that they did not possess money enough
to control the Governors secretary, al
though he might have received sum
many times larger than all his posses
sions to-day amount to. He chose the
path of rectitude, and considering that
his support or opposition ofthe measure
did not involve an official act on his part
his loyalty to principle and honesty is
entitled to the warmest commentator.
Mr.. McGill has for number of years
been insurance commissioner, in whic h
position he has won reputation for
sound views on insurance matters which
is national. He is one of, if not the
most prominent state insurance official
and expert in the United States.
He is neither demagogue, nor strict
ly speaking, politician, but man of
wide culture, sound judgment, good abil-
ity and popular manners. He Ii pos
sessed of sound views on the questions
now agitating the producing and labor
ing classes of Minnesota, and is not afraid
to give honest expression to his convic-
tinno

AS REVISED BY MR.. jerks.

New Fork Sun.
1t is but little more than II week ago
that Solicitor-General jerks was asked
by an unenlightened officeholder in
Kentucky for the correct Interpretation
of President Cleveand's order intended
to regulate the ofIiceholder's connection
with politics. One portion ofMr. Jenks's
reply was that, as he understood it, "the
official influence of the officer shall be
entirely divorced from politics" Mr..
Gross, the applicant, United States
Marshal, concluded not to attend Il
Democratic convention, rs he had hoped
to do.
We find now that an interview be-
tween Mr.. jerks and correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times, in which he
speaks as freely about the coming cam
paign in Pennsylvania from a partisan
standpoint as though he had never seen
the Presidents order nor the INSIDE of a
government Office, has drawn for him a
more defined construction of the order.
ii is as follows:
president Cleveland prohibited Of
ncholders from interfering with the
rights of the people, whose servants and
not masters, they are. AS understand
it, no man is debarred from expressing
his opinions nor of taking part in cam
paigns after the tickets are in the field
The Presidents views, as they become
better understood, will insure universal
approval"
According to this view the convention
marks the line beyond which the office
holder must not pass, but he is still free
to mount the stump. That pinnacle is
still his to climb, and although he could
have had no share IN the selection oil
the candidate whom, as an answering
partisan, it is his duty to eulogize, his
right TO deliver the eulogy is officially al
lowed. Mr.. jerks SAYS that as the Presi
dents views become better understood
they will insure universal approval. The
question il, will Mr.. Cleveland adopt
Mr.. Jenkss fine distinction made be
tween an officeholder's privilege before
and after the convention?

Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE opened the
Maine campaign Monday with one OF
his convincing arguments. He was
greeted by an immense audience, and
while reviewing the general inactivity OF
the present administration upon the
great questions of the day, and denounc-
ing the Morrison tariff bill, took up the
labor question. Mr.. Blaine is firm be-
lever in protective tariff, and expressed
surprise that the Knights of Labor should
omit 80 vital point from their creed.
He could not see how, with the present
modes of interchange and transporta-
ton of all commodities, wages under the
role of free trade could in the United
States be kept above the standard of Eu-
iOpean wages. He pointed out that u
million and half of cOlored laborers i'm
the south were rapidly entering the me-
chanical and semi-mechanical field.
They are underpaid. They receive far
less than has been paid in years past to
northern mechanics for similar work.
They are able to take no part in making
laws for their own protection, and they
are consequently and inevitably unable
to maintain fair standard of wages or
to receive a fair proportion of their
proper earnings. He predicted that if
the same rate of wages be maintained
the southern colored laborer would drive
the northern white man out of business
or lead him to the gates of his own pow
erty

WHAT is 1t that makes President
Sprague, of the Alliance, such an ardent
Gilman man? Any one who knows the
history of Charley Gilman cannot deny
that he has nothing i'm common with the
aims of the Alliance. 1t is well known
that he has never lost an opportunity to
aid monopolies. 1t has been asserted
time and again that his candidacy for
Governor is being backed with money
and influence by the Northern Pacific
and Manitoba railroads. and plenty of
straws have been picked up which indi-
cate that his wind comes from this direc-
ton. Do the members of ofthe farmers
Alliance propose to see Sprague debase
their organization for the purpose of
carrying out some scheme that he has
i'm Gilman's election? 1t is no secret that
Sprague has been promised position
upon the Railroad Commission, in the
event of Gilman's success, as q reward
for his services in securing the assistance
of the Alliance. Does any one presume
that commissioner, appointed under
such circumstances, and by man who
is nothing if not in cahoots with rail-
roads, would make such an officer as the
farmers wantP Not bit of it. He would
simply sit there as monument of
physical and mental inactivity, ready to
obey the behests of these corporations
upon demand. Sprague's resignation
from the position he now holds should
be promptly demanded. He occupies
q position at the head of an organization
that is being unwittingly led into a trap
to further his selfish ambition. Through
the utterances of his own mouth he has
shown himself unworthy the confidence
of the Alliance and that organization
will certainly prove its self-respect by
letting Sprague down without ceremony.

Saturday WAS Waterloo for Gilman.
OF the SO delegates IN the county con.
vention, McGill got 70, Gilman eight,
Gibbs one and the balance scattering.
The result was that Ramsey's q dele

sage elected five delegates for McGill
and Murray three, making a total of %
for McGill that had been previously
placed in Gilman's column. All the
money contributed by the Manitoba

had no appreciable influence upon
the result in Ramsey county. Gilman

THERE is no further reason to doubt
that Gilman's candidacy is being aided
in every possible way by the railroad
corporations. 1t is asserted, and the
assertion has not been denied, that he
has blank passes on the Manitoba road
and that he is dealing out transportation
at his own free will. This unprecedent-
ed authority is vested in Gilman, if the
report be true, for no other purpose
than to influence votes. The passes are
purely and simply instruments of bril-
berry. The people of Minnesota will see
to it, however, that Gilman never gets
any nearer to the gubernatorial chair
than he is at present. He Is danger

IT Is reported that the reason the st.
Paul Dispatch is 90 hostile to McGill is
because that gentleman would not pro-
mise Mr.. Shaw the position of oil in
spector in the event of his nomination
and election. If this be true, it is pref
ty safe to assume that Gilman has made
the necessary concessions as guarantee
of the support of the Dispatch. One
thing Is certain. If A. r. McGill is elect.
ed Governor of Minnesota he will as
sumo the duties of that Office unham-
