of every voter whom YOU meet" was
the instruction -given to the GLOBE
statf of reporters yesterday, and take
them regardlesS-Of party affiliations.
As a result of the mission of the in
dcfatigable young men who CLEAN news
for an army Of readers. it will be seen
that the Democratic candidates for the
highest offices in the gift of the people
polled a majority Of the votes east IN
this off-hand manner. There was no
attempt at ballot box stuffing in the in
terest of any man OF set of men. but
the opinions expressed below are an
honest reflex of the sentiments OF
upwards Of two hundred American
citizens in every walk of life. That
majority should be in favor OF Grover
Cleveland and tariff reform need not
t.ause surprise even in Republican Min
nesota. for the handwriting on the wall
plainly foretells the doom of the party
piedged to protection and war tariff
on the necesSarieS of life. On the
streets. in the counting rooms of mer-
camille houses. wherever a group
of men were copyrighted. the
energetic pencil pusherS sole
tied an expression Of opinion
as 10 the outcome OF the pending cafn-
Daign. Very few were chaTy about
making their wishes known. Dut All
seemed pleased that the Wide-aWake
GLOBE would give them an opportunity
10 state their predictions. Nothing IS
extenuated or aught set down in malice.
but as this is free country the doc
frine of free speech Is given a fair and
free -exemplificatiOn. If these figures
can be taken as a reflex OF public
sentiment throughout the state there
is NOT much to be feared from
the Prohibition party. whose candidates
could only muster the unluckY ana
much-dreaded number ia" Perhaps
this was only d coincidence. but II was
nevertheless a fact that among those
encountered by the ubiquitous scribeS
of the GLOBE there were but the fatal
number who expressed themselves
favorable to the cause Of cold water.
