RING RULE.
How the Railroad Lobbyists
Ruled the Chicago Convention.

How the railroad Lobbyists
Ruled the Chicago Convention.
Chicago Tribune (Republlcan.).
OF all the banded monopoly forces
arrayed against Gresham, there was
none more determined than the Pacific
railroad 'sthree." These two rings
feared doubtless with reason) that with
Gresham in the White house it would be
difficult to get through the Littler bill
extending for eighty years the time for
the payment of the debt of the Pacific
railroads to the government. With their
Thurstons and Hammonds in the con-
yention the Pacific railroads were in a
position to do telling work, and they
scored significant success at the outset
when one of their lobbyists was made
temporary chairman of the convention.

San Francisco.

The Chronicle (Rep.) says: "Gen.
Harrison has been selected as the Re-
publican candidate, not by the state of
California, but by the great Republican
party in convention assembled. He
now stands as the chosen representative
of the principles of Republicanism, and
notably of that grand principle, protec-
ton, which, as Mr.. Blaine says, is meal
culably greater than any man, and it is
the duty and doubtless will be the pleas
ure of every genuine Republican to give
him cheerful, earnest and hearty sup
port" AS regards Morton, the Chron-
icle says his name carries great weight
and will undoubtedly make the ticket
stronger in New York, where strength
is most needed.
The Alta Oem.) says: There is pres
ent, portent0uS and actual danger in
supporting Harrison in this state: The
Republicans in this state have before
them an opportunity to show that their
anti-Chinese zeal has not been a pre-
tense. If they wish to save their party
in California from absolute destruction,
let them reject Harrison and refuse to
put an electoral ticket in the field.
THE whole state will await the decision
with interest. Upon the issue of silver
coinage, Harrison stands against every
principle and profession of his party in
these silver states, and his record is in
direct opposition to the national platform
upon which he is nominated.
The Post (Rep.) says: Harrison was
not the first choice of the voters of Cali
fornia. GreshamIor Alger represents the
attitude of the coast far more closely
than Harrison, especially on the Chi
nese question, and California would
have been far better satisfied had either
of these men been chosen, but II arrison
comes from doubtful state, one it is of
the highest Importance that the party
should carry in November. 1t is prob
able that his supporters have given as
SuranceS that his vote as senator, six
years ago, does not represent his pres
ent attitude on the Chinese question,
and that he is sound on the silver ques-
ton. The California delegation voted
for him, and it is hardly probable that
they would vote for him otherwise.
The Examiner Dem.) says: 1.-THE
platform demands rotection-protec-
ton to what?-tO labor or capital? That
was the question that remained to be
settled and it should be settled irrevoca-
bly, by the nomination of Benjamin
Harrison. We trust we shall be spared
any personal scandals in this campaign
There will, however, certainly be no
need of personal ISLANDERS when there
is such public record as Harrison's to
discuss. California has never had an
opportunity to show Enthusiastically her
opinion of pro-ChineSe candidate
This year we shall have square chance
at one of the men whom California Re-

Charley Gilman remarked:
1.-The candidates are satisfactory, but

Fifth district, and you can understand

Gilman said yesterday that the Fifth
district Republicans would have tore
pudiate the platform.
But what about the state cOnven-
ton?
Will it pass a platform indorsing the
national one, or will it repudiate that
and come out for tariff reduction?
The Pioneer Press, the organ of the
party, has come out for high tax. Cor

and adopted laws for their own protec-
ton. Hence the railroad combine in
the convention would not permit
them to name a candidate for presi-
dent. All grangers and granger
states were excluded from cOnsidera-
tion-Illinois included. Sherman had
some points that commended him to the
ruling force in the convention, but he
was more of banker than a railroad
man and he lacked the ruling qualities
to carry New York and save the state
ticket. He would have cost the Tom

ingalls, came from a ''granger state"
but as his support was matter OF state
pride and intended merely as compli-
ment in return for his services in har-
pooning Dan Voorhees, there was no oc-
casion for railroad attack on him.
Alger was a rich lumberman, without
any close railroad associations, but he
was known to be positive and indie
pendent in his business transactions.
He was dropped as an unknown and I'M
reliable quantity. The same infiu-
enceS that beat Gresham beat the field
and caused the choice to fall on Harri-
son.
After the granger candidates were
all killed the convention selected Gen.
Harrison, who is a railroad attorney
himself and partner of Steve Elkins
in cattle syndicate. If Harrison had
been suspected of any faint OF granger
ism his throat would have been quickly
cut from ear to ear. The men who
combined to knock out the granger cam
didates think that Harrison is with
them in interest and sympathy. Else
they would never have permitted his
nomination, and they count on him as
one who will perform his duties to his
party without coming in conflict with
any crooked railroad interest.

On all sides are heard expressions of

We urge upon our Republican friends

Unnecessary, to restrain their injudieious

He Nails His Colors to the Mast

Congressman John Lind on Sunday
last said at New Ulm:
81 have come back from Washington
more of a protectioniSt than ever"
Lind will make his canvass on protec-
ton.
What kind of a position will he be in
if the state ticket has to run on the
tariff-reform Democratic plank?
Comstock, the nominee for congress in
the fifth district, is running on a plat
form that favors protection. WHAT'S he
going to do?
The sum of it all is that the Republi
can party in Minnesota is in an awful
rumble. Every pretense the party ever
made toward fayOring tariff reform has
been knocked silly by their national
platform. The party is divided against
Itself, and the musS grows worse every
day,

NOT REPRESENTATIVE:

Congressman JOHN LIND returns from
Washington, and at New Ulm makes
the statement,
81 return more of proteetionist than
ever"
Those Republicans who have scoffed
at the GLOBE for past criticisms on Mr..
LIMBS high tax position can no longer
complain. 1t is the duty of the GLOBE,
not alone to the Democratic party, but
to the toiling, taX-rldden farmer and
laborer, to aSSail Mr.. LIND and expose
him until he is either converted Oh de-
feated.
Your statement means, then, Mr.. LIND,
that you are bitter partisan and not
an enlightened economist. In fact, you
assert
That if the farmer can buy better
clothing in England for less money than
he can here, he shall not.
That Mr.. CARNEGIE may so coaching
in Scotland while Pennsylvania work
men slave on wages of so cents day.
That American wheat shall be kept
out of foreign markets, while American
whisky and tobacco are made free at
home.
That clothing shall be dear and liquor
cheap; food costly and tobacco given
away; monopoly thrive and labor
Starve.
Two years ago, Mr.. LIND, the tariff
reform sentiment of your district was
SO strong that when you accepted your
nomination you were forced to modify
your high tax views and OStenSibly de
clare yourself to be in some form or
other a tariff refOrmer.
Your apostacy is sudden. You have
ceased to represent your district, if-as
is question-you ever did represent it.
You have unblushing etfrontery to enter
Minnesota again and tell your con-
stituents that you are more than ever in
favor of high taxes, and, per contra, free

ton in the broadcast terms invites all
who favor President Cleveland's battle
for the necessities of life enumerated
above to join in the nomination of an
honest, clean an winning state ticket.
The executive committee of the state
central committee had the authority to
issue the call. When it convened at 2
O'Clock at the headquarters in the Mer-

ael Doran, A. I. Ankeny, of Minneap-

Ansel Oppenheim, st. Paul. Before
the meeting was called to order an in
formal discussion of Harrison and
Morton brought out opinions that agreed
man have nothing to fear from them.
Mr.. Doran called the committee to
work. He asked those present from
different sections of the state to express
their opinions as to what time the state
convention should be called. Tom
Bowen said that in his section of the
state discussion of the subject had
been little. Charles Boynton thought
that southeastern Minnesota desired
AN EARLY
convention. Senator Durant was of the
opinion that the committee should
decide the question. Mr.. Bowen. of
Waseca, favored an early convention.
Mr.. Oppenheim suggested Aug. Is, Mr..
Ankeny Aug. %, Mr.. Wise Aug. or
earlier. Finally on the motion being
put, the committee voted for WedneS-

THE DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE.

During the first week of July there
will be held in Baltimore convention
OF the league of Democratic clubs.
There are many and powerful reasons
why every Democratic club in the coun-
try. and especially those in the North
west, should send representatives to
this meeting.
A scheme of organization will be dis
cussed and adopted which will result in
the distribution of Democratic doctrine
and the eXertion of Democratic energy
in every nook and corner of the land.
OF course it is possible to bring this
o-be-desired result about without
formally perpetuating the league Or
ganiZatlon, but by the latter method it
can be much more surely, Systematically
and tremendously accomplished.
For every Democrat and every other
believer in honest government and the
peoples rights should remember that 1t
is not the part of wisdom to despise an
enemy, however weak he may seem.
Although the triumphant election of
CLEVELAND and THURMAN seems sub
stantially assured. it will not do to relax
either vigilance or effort on that ac-
count. Assurance should be made
doubly sure. 1t may be depended upon
that the Rep lblican party will bend
every energy in the coming campaign.
1t will leave nothing undone to win sue
cess.
These efforts should be met with equal
vigor by the Democrats, and as an in
itiatory step nothing could be better than
the organization for campa ign purposes
to be effected at the Baltimore cOnven-
ton. There should be the fullest at
tendance possible.
