A GOOD POINT.
Great Need for Circulating Tariff
Reform Matter.

Reform Matter.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Now that the nominations are all
made and '.bosSeS" and ''anties" have
laid down their arms and taken hold to
redeem the state from Republican mis-
rule, would it not be good idea to dis
tribute some of that pile of tariff reform
literature which is said to be stored in
the Democrotic headquarters at st.
Paul? I work for firm which employs
some 200 men. many of whom are as yet
undecided how they will cast their votes
at the coming election. Now it
would seem as though we should
be flooding this doubtful state
with good arguments in favor of n re-
duction of the war tariff. Our friends,
the enemy, are doing this same thing
that I here advocate, and unless we
wake up and get move on Us all will
be lost and nobody to blame but our
selves. We must place before the work
ingman, who has not the time to attend
our meetings, full and concise ex-
PLANTATION of the tariff in pamphlet
form, so he can sit down at his leisure
and study it for himself. Let us get
men thinking. The only way to do this
is to get them to read. The way to get
them to read this tariff question is to
circulate short tariff tracts. 1t is to be
hoped that the GLOBE will spur up the
Democrats on this very important ques-
ton. Please give me the address of the
Democratic national headquarters.

Merpiam's Little State Ticket
That Is to Absorb the
Farmer Vote.
1t Resembles, With His Ap-
pointments to Be Made,
a Dime Freak.

MT. Ocne1er S friends and cOnSplratOrS
are getting a ''roast'' from their brother
Republicans that is making them I'M
easy and restless.
They feel confident that they have
Ramsey county solid, and can carry it
without much trouble, but in the doing
SO they have created rumpus which
will go into the state convention.
Two years ago, fearing that Gilman
would carry the Ramsey county delega-
ton into the state convention with him,
the McGiu Republicans, headed by
Stanford Newell, issued 'snap' call,
and, by forced caucuses, shut Gilman
out and secured solid McGill delega-
ton, but of which nineteen members
were pledged to vote for Scheffer in the
event of his name attaining prominence
in the convention.
This year the Scheffer men, having
the deal, andMcGill needing their assist
ance, have combined with McGil1 men
and perpetrated the same kind of a
''trick" on Merriam.
1t has never been conceded by posted
politicians that Merriam could carry
Ramsey county, but it was supposed
that he would be given a fair show at
the caucuses and county convention.
This, it seems, has been denied him.
The Scheffer men repudiate the White
man primary law flor which, it is
alleged, Mr.. Scheffer voted in the
senate of two years ago., and have
caucuseS called that in number fail to
afford ample opportunity for full and
fair vote being cast.
The Merriam managers are only get
ting a dose of that which they gave
Gilman in 1886; but the question still
remains as to the legally of the Republi-
can caucuses to be held IN st. Paul on
Friday night.
In extenuation of their course the
Scheffer men say that for months Mer-
riam or his managers have been spend
ing money literally in Ramsey county
for the purpose of carrying the prima-
rieS. They charge bin with making an
alliance with certain alleged Democrats.
who in consideration of his support of
their local interests were to pack and
carry the county caucuSes and conyen-
ton for him, or at least divide the dele
CATION.
The Scheffer men claimed to have dis
covered this deal and assert that it ne
eessitated their getting hold of the
county committee by a combine with
McGill, and having the caucuses
called as they were. They deny all pre-
tense of fraud and say that Merriam has
the same chance as they for success.
On the outside the fight (Which has
grown to bitter propOrti0ns) seems to be
only a question of dollars and cents.
The services of considerable number
of ward strikers have been rendered to
both Scheffer and Merriam.
They work for hire, and the candidate
that heals their bleeding hearts most
effectively gets them and carries the
county.

In this county there is a strong anti-Mc-

at the state prison. and the attendant mis-

strong aversion among the better element of
