RESOLUTIONS.
An Affirmation OF Sound Doc
trineS.

trineS.
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions, submitted by Thomas Moonan,
of Waseca, was as follows:
The Democratic and revenue reform
clubs of the stale of Minnesota through
their delegates in convention assembled, rec
ognize that new era has arrived i'll Ameri-
can politics. New questions are pressing
forward for settlement. We invite all honest
to join with us in an earnest effort to study
these questions, and settle them on princi-
Piles ofeoual and exact justice to all men
We reaifirm our adherence to the princi-
ples of the Democratic party as embodied in
the Declaration of independence, taught by
. Thomas jefferson, and so brilliantly and
courageously proclaimed by our noble stand
rd-bearer, Presidant Grover Cleveland, in
his message to congress ana other docu-
ments and reaffirmed by the national Demo-
cratic convention at St. Louis June 3, 1888,
and the convention of clubs at Baltimore
July 4, 1888. and at the state convention at
St Paul Aug. 10. 1888. And we more partio-
uIarly affirm our adherence to the doctrine
that all men are equal before the law and
therefore denounce as pernicious and de-
structive to the best interests of the commu-
manity and. the true principles OF govern
ment, and as usurping the rights of indlvid-
uais all legislation which would unnecessa-
rily place in the power of any man, or class
of imen, to control the actions of any
others whether industrialiy or socially.
And as a most pernicious example of such
legislation we denounce the present iniqui-
tous tariff system, whose only aim,
purpose and tendency is TO enrich
the few at the expense of the many.
Under the lying pretense of protecting him,
it robs every laborer of part of his scanty
earnings in higher prices, while forcing him
to sell his labor in competition with all other
labor OIL earth. While compelling the farmer
TO buy of protected monopolist, it forces
him to sell his products in free competition
with the products of India and China.
1t fosters trusts and combinations for the
purpose of limiting production and increas-
ing prices, while mills are closed and men
thrown out of employment.
We favor a policy which shall as rapidly as
possible restore our system OF national taxa
lion to purely revenue basis and shall draw
from the pockets of the people no more
than is needed for an economical admins
tration of public affairs.
We hereby express our entire confidence
in President Cleveland, Allen G. Thurman
and +. NJ. Wilson, our state and national
standard bearers.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, OAK, Sept. 20.-rhe NOM
nation of John H. Huber, of this
city, to-day by the Democrats
for the Office Of county super
intendent is the first instance of
the kind in the territory, and
promises to bring some fine points of
election law into the courts. At the
last session of the legislature law was
passed changing the time for the cleo
ton of county superintendent to June.
This same law DISTINGUISHES all of
the people not living in organized school
townships. In this county the city of
Bismarck, which pays over one-half of
the county Superintendent's salary, was
not permitted to participate in the cleo
ton. 1t is believed that this law will
not be sustained by the courts, and that
w. H. Winchester, the present incum-
bent, is still perintendent, by virtue
that his term will expire at the
end of the time for which the
was then elected, thus ignoring the
farcicaI June elections. With this view
of the case Mr.. Huber was nominated
to-day, and, as he is popular with all
classes, he will receive the full vote.
His election will take the matter
into the courts, as Winchester was
elected last June for two years, and the
example thus set may cause sad havoc
with the plans of superintendent
throughout the territory, who have
been elected under this new law.

Where Are the Proofs?

Being a postmaster myself. L have never
yet received any intimation to the eff
feet of any one asking for money to de-
fray the Democratic campaign expenses.
When a party will resort to such un-
scrupulOus falSehoOds to gull the ig-

sure indication that their political pros

BISMARCK, OAK, Sept. 20.-The Mar
quis De Mores, son-ln-law of Baron
Won Hoffman, of New York, and at one
time the cattle king of Dakota, is now
contemplating an extensive plan of
railroad building in China and his
friends here who were with him in his
Medora enterprise and were witnesses
to his reckless Expenditure of money,
are watching developments with keen
interest. Over thirty residents of this
vicinity are thinking very seriously of
going to China and joining the marquis
i'll the hope that, supported by
his friendship and his millions,
they will have an opportunity
to accumulate fortunes. Although the
marquis DID not prove dazzling sue
cess In his SpeculationS in Dakota: al
though his immense Strengthening
houses and stock yards at Medora are
deserted, and notwithstanding the fact
that he lost over 100000 here in less
than a year, those who know him best
believe that he has great executive
ability, and that he will make a success
as a railroad manipulation. If reports
from the celestial empire continue
favorable, many of the Dakota
FRIENDS OF THE MARQUIS
will prepare for trip to that country
in the hope of winning fortunes through
the daring and brilliant speculative
moves of the marquis. The marquis
distinguished himself in Dakota as
much by ''killing his man. as by beat
ing the record in the unstinted eXpendi-
ture of money. He shot and killed one
of the men who had threatened his life
and was acquitted of the charge of
murder after one of the most widely
discussed trials ever had in the United
States. 1t is said by his confidential
friends here that he has enlisted the
support of the leading officials of China
in his railroad schemes and that he
already has an abundance of capital

THE PosTOFFICE BUILDING.

The senate bill appropriating S75O,0O0
for the pOstoffice building in this city
has passed that body, and now goes to
the house for concurrence. 1t is to be
hoped thai it will there also be acted on
favOrably. The necessity for such
building in st. Paul is beyond question.
1t is true, as was suggested in the house
when the original bill was before that
body, that a. less costly e1iiice would
subServe all present purposes. But
st. Paul is growing city, and in few
years will far Outgrow the capacity of
building restricted in its proportions by
such an outlay. 1t will then
be necessary to enlarge it. This
would involve an expense far
in excess of the increased appropriation
by the senate. 1t would be practical
economy to give us a building that
would answer all the needs of young
and vigorous city for at least a gen.
Grafton to come. Besides the i'm
menSe volume of business transacted in
our pOstoffice constitutes claim upon
the government which it ought not to
ignore. The postOffice should be i'll har-
mOny with the magnificent edifices
which surround it. There is no parsi-
mOniOus economy in the splendid arch
itecture which is making st. Paul IA
nous throughout the Northwest. Her
magnificent structures are not only the
pride of the state, but win the reluctant
admiration of all her sister cities. These
things are deserving of consideration,
and congress is morally bound not to
force upon us an insufficient or inferior
building. We ought to have something
that we can look upon with pride, and
which would be credit to the govern

A couple of hours later Harding walked
into the Commercial National bank on
Wall street, and pursuing the same tao
tics, while the teller's attention
was called elsewhere, he distracted
two packages containing $500, which
he dropped into a flannel bag. The

his pursuers without injuring any one.
He ran as far as Maiden Lane
