MINNESOTA COMMENT.

MlNNESUIA COMMEN L.
lgnatius Donnelly thinks McGill
about the best man the Republicans can
put up for governor this fall. Well, the
Republican party in Minnesota is pretty
hard up for good timber out OF which to
choose a goyernor.-W abasha Demo
crat.
If you examine the common law we
think you will find il an offense against
the law for man or set OF men to Or
ganiZe these trusts or combinations, and
it is only necessary to enforce the law
we have to do away with them.-Medelia
Times.
Ignatius Donnelly sails for Europe
next week. The politicians have moth
ing to be thankful for, as he will be
back in May, and will not only be
loaded, but he will come back with a
''barreI," the result of the sale of his
bO0k.-Fergus Falls journal.
And the drift is an encouraging one.
For Judge Gresham is clean, strong,
self-feliant, independent man OF the
people.-WinOna Republican.
Minnesota ought to have "favOrite
SOM of some sort on one OF the national
tickets and, if no one else will apply,
DR.. Ames can be counted on to take
care of the states interest in that
direction. Duluth Herald.
Knute Nelson on the Republican
ticket could carry the state by $4,000
majority, and Albert Schetfer by 10000.
Either majority or either man would
satisfy the people up this way.-Ada
Index.
The Republican cue is to oppose all
Democratic measures, whether they are
likely to benefit OF to injure the conl-
| try. The dog in the manger was Re
publican purp, and its master was Re-
publican United States senator.-St.
Peter journal. i
The old Gilman boom is being revived
by some papers in the Fifth district. 1t
is hard to say which, policy Or personal
love for Mr.. Gilman, actuates the move;
in any event Mr.. Gilman will receive
streng support if he enters the field
Cambridge Press.
There is no one argument so strong
against the continuance of the present
high protective tariff as that which is
presented by the element of danger
which the enormous treasury surplus
created by it possesses. = Saltwater
Messenger.
1t is time that the farmer. the labor
ing man and every consumer were open
ing their eyes to plain facts. That i'll
| nocent mOnoSyllable, Trust" means a
great dealt means the most exclusive
and the most powerful monopoly that
hoc hO11
ern continent.-St. Peter Herald.
The latest invention of corporate
power and corrupt combinations to lay
new burdens on the people and to in
| crease the load of taxation imposed by
the odious tariff reform, is in the form
of so-called ',Trusts." -Waseca Demo-
crat.
Ben Merriam's boom for governor
makes Andy McGill very sick.-Duluth
Tribune.
Knute Nelson might possibly go in
with the Democrats, with his views on
the tariff, to be made United States
senator to succeed Sabin, but no one be-
lieves he would fuss with them to be
made gOyernor.-Red Lake Falls News.
Perhaps when Gov. MeGill moves into
the mansion he is building he will send
out the farmers a few paneS of glass
each to fix up their broken windows SO
they can get their old hats out in time
for summer wear.-Red Lake Falls
News.
Bill King is generous soul. He has
given the Democracy whole week of
;,l, 1>xr, RI hot wit h
drawal of Blaine means the election of
observation-disclosures Enterprise.
20 Doubt About 1t.
Duluth Herald.
The st. Paul GLOBE has made the dis
covery that Chicago intends to nominate
Gresham for the presidency by working
up.a strong local boom and filling the
galleries of the convention hall with
claauers to shout for their fayOrite.
There is no doubt but that the galleries
had great influence in the nomination of
Lincoln, Garfield and Blaine, and the
local influence in the town in which a
convention is held is always very great.
Ought to Follow Blaine.
| Hastings Gazette.
If Gov. McGill would only follow the
| example of Mr.. Blaine and withdraw his
| name as a candidate before the APP
| preaching convention it would relieve
| the Republican party of Minnesota from
| considerable embarrassment. He GER
| tainly owes it to the party which has
| kept him in office the past eighteen
! wears to do this, and do it at once.
! Not a Popular Man.
4 Ada Index.
Gov. McGilrs friends all over the
state are working hard for his renOmi-
nation, basing their claim mainly on the
fact that it is customary to give gov
ernor second term. This may be all
right, but we fail to see the wisdom of
it. That McGill has made a good gov
ernor every unprecedented man will
admit, but 1t IS also a fact that he is not
a popular man, and the Republican
| party is in need of a man at the head of
the state ticket next fall who can carry
the state by the old time majority. We
want new deal.
