WHAT SOME OF THEM SAY.

". E. Haskell, of the Tribune-The result
is due to the ignorance of the Scandinavians.
Gen. A. B. Nettleton-I don't think it is
true that the course OF Bishop ireland de-
feated all his own people on the ticket
Ed A. Stevens-If my advice had been fol-
lowed, Mayor Ames would have stayed at
home last Monday night, instead of going to
New Uim. Ii he had been here, one word
from him would have queiled that riot.
Matt Walsh-Well, Tom Scott says he will
give me job sweeping, if nothing else turns
up.
Lars NJ Randi might have Joined the
pool and saved myself by helping TO slaughter
Others on the ticket, but did not do it. l am
glad did not.
A. F. NOrdin-I do not think there was any
thing 10 this dag business, but it did work
against US. Hereafter, whoever can hang
out the most foreign banners will carry the
greatest number of votes.
J. B. Gilfillan-The results show the de-
prsvity of the people.
William Bickley-It is amusing to hear Re-
publicaus. who have lost three congressman
and nave seen their 10000 majority in tie
state melt away, still talk Of victory. l
wonder what they would call defeat.
j. c. WOrrall-I am Republican, but who
could help adIniring Ames after that brilliant
and prOdigiouS canvass he haS made?
Freeman P. Lane We Republicans are
much better schemers than you Democrats.
Auditor McDonald-If the CANVASS all over
the state is as fair as it will be in Hennepiu
county. n 0 one can complain.
C. A. Gallagher-So long as Anita ristocrat
Ames Is elected, can forget am u defeated
candidate.
F.F. Davis The farmers were dissatisfied
with the present condition of things and al
lowed their prejudice to rule.
Thomas L. Wilson-If thought McGill was
elected, much as despise the little thing l
would sar to seat him, but if Anes is the
choice l will shoulder a musket if necessary
to see that he receives fair count
George A Pittsburgh think the Repub-
licsns nominated the wrong man for gov
ernor. Mr.. Gibbs was the strongest man of
those mentioned. MOI but what Mr.. McGil
is rs able man as Mr.. Gibbs, but there is q
great rivalrY between Minneapolis and St.
Paul and Mr.. McGill is generally considered
a ST Paul man. This injured hun very much.
In fact he is resident OF ST. Peter.
Loren Fletcher-ThI re we're various and
almost innumeraols causes for the falling OF
of the Republican vote that would only occur
once in the lifetime OF party. The first and
principal cause WAS the demoraliZed condition
of the party as left b. the previous state CEN
trial committee of which II. A. Castle WAS
chairman. The convention was called sixty
DAYS too late it would seem for the purpose
of demoraliZing the party In order that the
new committee might have no me for CAM
paign and recuperste from the terrible de-
noraIIzed condition in which the committee
found things 1t seemed the committee was
in the hands Of a few political shysters who
were determined to rule or ruin the party,
and after the nominations of the state con-
ventiou were MAZE the same spirit was still
at work in trying to further dcmoraliZe and
disrupt the party.
John W. Arctander-The cause of the big
cut can be summed up in one thing-the Re-
publican campaign, convention and all has
been one series OF plumbers. Ii was q blum
der to nominate AcGill when by nominating
Mr. Gibbs we could have controlled almost
soldly the farmer vote OF the state. In spite
of all the good qualities OF John S. Pillsbury,
II was still more serious blunder to appoint
him chairman OF the state committee. after
We had had fair notice of the intention of the
Democrats to claim that NcGill was the candi-
date of the Millers' association. am glad of
the result, because / think it will teach our
bosses that it will be necessary hereafter to
place our most prominent men in nomina-
taou With few exceptions our state Offices
have for more than twenty years last past
been held by persons of mediocre ability.
laundering Gerden-The late Republican
state convention was run by the old "Dosses."
Gibbs was the choice OF the Eeop.e, but ne
was slaughtered b. the "machiae," and the
rank and Gle Of the party were dissatified and
have entered an emphatic protest at the polls.
