THE MINNESOTA kids"
They Are Not Very Old, but They
Claim They Are up to Snuff"

Chicago Herald.
Everything was serene around Min
nesOta headquarters at the Grand Pa
cific yesterday. Col. Edwards said the
delegation was not solid, but would cast
eight or ten votes on the first ballot for
Gresham, two for Alger, and probably
two or three for Depew. The delega-
ton was strengthened yesterday by the
arrival of Congressman John Lind,
from the Second district, direct from
Washington. Mr.. Lind. though not a
delegate, has no little influence. Gen.
Washburn is also prominent figure
around this headquarters, and exerts an
influence for Gresham that is certain
to be felt. He is president of the 500
railroad, one of the most prominent
men in the state and lives in one of the
most palatial residences III the West.
The Minnesota delegates are called the
"kids," as there are among them four
under thirty-tiree, four under thirty
five, two under thirty-eight and two
under forty years of age. Col. Edwards,
who, by the way, is the only one over
forty, said: Yes, they call our dele
gates the kids, but we know how to vote
and we shall elect our man. Why"
continued he, ''the name of the next
president of the United States is written
here" indicating his forehead, and
meaning that he had it in his mind,
when some member called out: go
wash your face, colonel, and let us see

Depew Detested.

New York Times.
Depew does not appeal to the men
that will decide the election in this
state, and he does not even appeal to
his own party. and could not command
its full vote for several reasons. He
may flatter himself that the Central
railroad is popular" with its custom
ers. He is mistaken if he does not see
also that it is thoroughly detested and
hated by thousands of men who are
compelled to do business with it from
New York to Buffalo. Again, he is not
trusted as party man. His going over
to the Democrats in 1872, his silly sup
port of Horace Greeley for the preSi-
dency, his bitter speeches against the
party and Gen. Grant, will not be for
given. Still again, unfortunately for
by him, by most people Mr.. Depew is
not taken seriously 1t is an injustice
to him, for the acquisition of his high
business position and his princely in
come has been serious work, beyond
doubt, but it is not by that that he is
most known to the public, and there are
very many plain people who associate
him chiefly with dinners and with cham
payne and funny stories. In a close
contest candidate with the other dis
advantages we have pointed out cannot
disregard such reputation as this, and
we fear that, in Mr.. Depew's case, he
could not get rid of it. We believe him
to be an honest man, of infinitely better
character than Blaine, who has kept i'll
his business pursuits as clear con-
science as the nature of his work per-
mitS, but he will not be strong candi-

Straits vote MacDonald's
The counties that gave Strait

1O,OSO lO,fSS
The counties that gave Strait his big
majority in 1882 were Carver, Goodhue,
Meeker, Renville, Rice, Scott, Swift,
Kandiyohi and Chippewa. Mcleod,
where Capt. Reed lives, gave a small
Democratic majority. The counties
that elected Macdonald in 1886 were
Carver, Dakota, Mcleod (where
Reed lives and Scott. Strait in
1882 ran against weak Demo-
crat. Macdonald in 1856 ran against a
weak Republican. The district there
fore is doubtful ground, and its future
status to be definitely settled this year.
If it goes Democratic this year there is
no reason to believe that it will go
otherwise thereafter for many cam
paignS. If it goes Republican, then it
will remain an open question where it
will be in 1890. In 1854, when Strait
ran against Donnelly, GOOdhue, Kandi-
yohi and NIeeker counties loved him.
He is not as strong now as he was then.
In the light of these figures and the
other fact that while in four years the
vote of the district has increased from
1900 to 1000, the Republican majority
has been swept out OF sight, the motive
for selecting Rice is patent.
The same reason that nominated
John Lind over three Americans; the
same reason that gave Nelson an au-
the Rice movement. 1t IS not recog-
milton of the abilities of these men, but
a Republican BID for Scandinavian
votes by the nomination of Scandi-
navian. Everything to get there"
wrote a Republican to the GLOBE. That
is the keynote to their campain this
year in Minnesota.

THE OLD RED ENSIGN.

How dear to my heart are the scenes of my
boyhood,
When far from the city followed my toll.
And thought that my life from all grief and
alloy would
Be free if only could have as a toll
Against the hot sun and the thick perspira-
ton.
That oozed out all over my face and my
neck,
And caused me such worry and Such bother
A simple bandaua to save me from wreck
A simple bandana, a red-hued baudana,
A large-siZed bandaDa, to mop up my face
And fiirt i'll the eyes of Melissa or Anna
When with their presence the hustlngs
they'd grace.
And oft, after smoking a fragrant Havana,
While out on stroll through the cool even
ing shades,
I've wiped off my chin with the blessed
bandana,
And gone OH lark with the sweetest of
maids
How dearly love it, as DER me tits waving /.
1t wipes. off the chin" of Republican
''guff,''
And from all its troubles the country as say
ing
BY calling" the cheeky Republican
bluff. ~
The Thurman bandana! the brilliant ban
dana.
The red-hued bandana that wakes up the
boys!
Well open the snuff-box and smoke the
Havana,
And rattle Republicans off OF their poise.

A POSSIBLE RESULT.

It was but recently the GLOBE said
that the only logical result of the Chi
cago convention would be the renomina-
ton of Mr.. BLAINE. Events now seem
to be shaping themselves to give that
assertion confirmation I'D fact.
AS the delegates are afforded oppor-
tunitieS for hearing his name spoken by
convention orators, the strong under
current of BLAINE feeling makes itself
manifest, and there are not wanting
those who declare with all possible
emphasis that the man from Maine will
be the nominee, leaving the question of
his acceptance or declination to be de-
termined aftcrward. This feeling, too,
has good deal of basis to rest upon.
In the first place, majority of the dele
gates, without doubt, favors Mr..
BLAINE, and is only deferred from
vigorous advocacy OF him by his own
expression.
In the second place. deadlock among
the candidates who are actually before
the convention is almost inevitable.
Then will come the opportunity of the
bulldog BLAINE men, who have been
clinging tenaciously to the idea of the
ultimate triumph of their chieftain.
The BLAINE idea will be found to -lurk
in the hearts of scores of others. All
great gatherings are prone to do re-
markable things under the influence of
overwhelming enthusiasm.
The deadlock will continue. Some
one will announce the name of BLAINE.
The dormant BLAINE idea will spring
into life in moment. Destinations
and Florentine letters will be cast to
the winds. Almighty wave of enthusi-
asm will arise, and when it subsidies
BLAINE will be bound to be the nom
inee. As to his acceptance? Well, his
followers know their chief. Men do not
refuse presidential nominations that are
thrust upon them.
That is what may happen. That is
what is likely O happen.

PECULIAR FRENCH METHODS
Soaring a Murderer by Reconsti.
tuting His Crime for Him.

Soaring a Murderer by Reconsti-
tuting His Crime for Him.
Paris Letter.
The French system of ''reconsti-
tuting" the scene of the crime, to use
the technical expression. has again been
successful in wrestling full confession
from hardened and obstinate GRIM
inal. About fortnight ago an old man
was found hanging to tree in wood
near Esbly. He was stranger to the
place, and the local author
tiles, concluding that he had
buried. A few days afterward
they read in the newspapers of the mys-
ferrous disappearance from his abode in
Paris of respectable workman named
Oudln, who was supposed to have been
inveigled into an expedition to their
neighbOrhoOd by Mathelin, an aequaint-
ance, who had led him to believe that
he had found him situation at the
chateau of Montry, in the department
of Seine-et-Marne. Oudin'S wife, who
was beside herself with alarm. explained
to the police that Mathelin had in
duced her husband to take 500 out of
the savings bank as guarantee was re-
quired, and that she was under the I'M
preston that the two men had gone off
to the country together. 1t was speedily
ascertained that Mathelin had returned
to his dwelling in the metropolis, and
for several days had been spending
money in debauchery, although previ-
ously he had been without sou. Mean
while the authorities at Esbly had
communicated with the Paris police,
rested the body of Oudin was disin-
TERED. Mathelin having persisted in de-
claring that he knew nothing of the
affair, it was decided that he should be
taken to the wood and that the corpse
of the murdered man should be attached
to the tree as it was found, it being
hoped that the suspected assassin would
be moved by the CHASTITY sight to make
complete avowal. Early in the
morning Mathelin, who had previously
been attired in the clothes which he wore
at the time of his arrest, was taken by
nj. GOron from Mazas prison to the Care
de PUst en- route for Esbly. AT the sta
ton he was recognized by one of the
railway employees as the man who had
travelled with Oudin the fatal day, and
ere ESbly was reached he confessed
that he had strangled his victim in the
wood with rope concealed about his
person, and had afterwards hanged
him to an acacia. The crime
was thoroughly premeditated. Mathe-
lin spoke with the utmost calmness,
and he displayed no emotion when he
was led up to the corpse, which was
laid on plank by the side of the grave
in the cemetery. A doctor in his pres
ence examined the body and pointed
out the marks caused by the rope, but
Mathelin maintined his careless atti-
tude, merely repeating in an off-hand
way his account of the crime. There
seems to be little doubt that but for
this measure he would have persisted in
his denial to the last.

LESS TAX OR FREE WHISKY?
Take Your Choice From the Side That Is Best
for the People.

National platform of the Republican
party at Chicago, June 81:
we are uncompromisingly i'm favor of
the American system of protection. We
protest against its destruction, as pro-
posed by the president and his party,
Ihey serve the interests of Europe: we
VIII support the interests of America,
we accept the issue and confidently ap-
peal to the people for their Judgment
Inc protective system must be MAIN
tanned. Its abandonment has ALWAYS
been followed by general disaster to all
interests except those of the usurer and
the sheriff. We denounce the Mills
Dill as destructive to the general bust
ness, the labor and the farming inter-
eStS OF the country, and we heartily in
dorse the consistent and patriotic action
OF the Republican representatives in
congress in opposing its passage.
we condemn the proposition of the
Democratic party to place wool on the
free list, and we insist that the duties
thereon shall be adjusted and main-
tanned so as to furnish full and ADEQUATE
protection to that industry.
The Republican party would effect all
needed reduction of the national reye-
nue. by repeating the taxes upon to-
Dacco, which are an annoyance and bur-
den to agriculture, and the tax upon
spirits used in the arts and for mechan-
lcal purposes; and by such revision of
the tariff laws as will tend to check i'm
ports OF such articles as are produced
by our people, the production of which
gives employment to our labor and re-
lease from import duties those articles
OF foreign production Except luxuries)
the like of which cannot be produced at
home. If there shall still remain a
larger revenue than is requisite for the
wants of the government, we favor the
entire repeal of international taxes
rather than the surrender of any part of
our protective system at the joint behest
of the whisky trust and the agents of
foreign manufacturers

ISSUES, NOT MEN.

The doubt and uncertainty which
characterize the Republican cOnven-
ton, and the harmonious surety which
marked the Democratic convention, are
indications sufficient that this is to be a
campaign Of issues, not men.
The Republicans raise the issue of a
continued high tariff. continued taxa
ton of the people on the basis of war
time necessities, the continued fayoring
of the few at the expense of the many.
They bring forward the issue by the
continued supremacy of the monopolists
and the subordination of the people.
They delight to raise the issue OF the
continuance of sectional feeling.
Any one of the score of candidates
who may be successful in securing the
nomination must subscribe to this dec
laration of unprincipled principles, and
must constitute himself the special
champion of these various issues. For
the issues are the prime, the men who
are to support them the secondary, con-
sideration. The platform comes first,
the nomination afterWard.
The Democratic convention also
brought forward a few issues. They
were the reduction of taxation to the
necessities of the government; the ele-
walton of the peoples interests above
those of the monopolists; honest gov
eminent: government for the people
and good will to all men. Two men
were prominently fitted to champion
this declaration of the right, and they
were chosen without pickering and con-
tentiOn. The choice will be, therefore,
clearly before the people; not as be-
tween the Democratic nominees and
the Republican nominees personally,
but as between the issues which they
represent.
The people have already given both
strong intimations that their choice will
not be on the side of the monopolists
and money kings.

MONEY TALKS.

One of the incidents of the convention
yesterday was the effectual manner in
which an audacious Minnesotian whose
name history does not preserve--could
it have been LANGDoN?-effectua
squelched the enthusiastic eulogy
which one of the SHERMAN supporters
was pronouncing upon his chief. Il
will bet 81, 900 to $780," said this reck-
less Minnesotian. ''that SHERMAN won't
get a chance to carry a single state, "
and there were no takers.
The SHERMAN eulOgy came to an alb
rupt end. In the language of the breezy
West, ''mOney talks" but at this par
ticular juncture it was not talking very
loud among the SHERMAN contingent.
Nevertheless, money is talking in the
convention. From the opening remarks
of Millionaire Chairman JONES, whose
millions have been piled up by the high
tariff robbery; in the election of Monop-
olist THURsToN as temporary chairman
through the advocates of the DEPEW,
SHERMAN and ALGER booms, money
has been talking in language unmis-
taxable.
The jingling of the dollars has been
plainly heard. 1t talks, too, in the plat
form which in familiar phrase demands
that the methods whereby the monopo-
lists have been enabled to take millions
of dollars out of the pockets of the peo-
pie and put them in their own, shall be
continued. Everywhere the voice OF
money is heard shouting forth the So
phistical arguments with which it is
hoped the people may be cheated and
cOzened. 1t is essentially convention
which represents the power of money,as
opposed to that at st. Louis which rep
resented the power of the people.
What choice will the country make be,
tween the two? The question is not
difficult to answer.

The Democrats will gladly meet it. 1t
is the cause of the monopolists, the
creatures and creation of the high tar
1T system against the people who are
being robbed. 1t is an issue, too, which
the Democrats will not take up arms
against unsupported. Western Repub-
licans who have asked for bread and
have been given stone, who have de-
manded reduction upon the neces-
saries of life and have been offered free
tobacco and whisky, will join them in
the fight.
No cavil or bubble can now be posi-
BILE. 1t is right against monopolistic
might. Is there any doubt that the
people will rally themselves under
Democratic standards in battling for the
former?
