The Liquor Dealers National Pro-

Prohibition and Elects Officers

tective Association DenOunces
Prohibition and Elects Officers.
NEW York, Sept. 12.-The delegates
to the Liquor Dealers National Pro
teetive association convention reas-
sembled in Chickering hall this morn
ing. j.. M. Atherton, of Kentucky, and
Col. T.. Mex. Lesser, of New York,
were elected president and vice presi-
dent OF the association for the ensuing
year. Resolutions were passed recon-
mending the adoption of just and
reasonable laws to regulate the
traffic and deploring the efforts
of some people to prohibit the traffic en-
tirely. They favored low license and
were opposed to the concentration of
the business i'll the hands of a few as the
result of high license. They also recon-
mended that no person who had ever
been convicted of felony should receive
a license. They were against arbitrary
power being vested in the excise board,
for it would be surely disabused. Other
resolutions deplOred the action of some
state governments to raise too large
revenue from the liquor trade. They
also declared themselves opposed to
alliance with any political party. A
resolution was adopted directing the
chairman to send check for $1,000 to
Mayor Hewitt to be forwarded to the
yellow fever sufferers at Jacksonville.
Cheers followed the adoption of this
resolution. The committee on finance
presented the following report, which
was adopted: That members of the
association in the liquor trade doing
business of less than 100000 year
be taxed S25 per annum Tor
the benefit of the association;
over 100000, $50; 100000, $50:
S500,000, $500. and S1,OOO,OO0 or more,
$500; that diStillers of bourbon and rye
whisky and fruit and rum brandies be
taxed six cents per barrel yearly for
the support of the association. MeSSrS.
Miller, of Chicago; Anterior, of Ken
lucky, and Schaed, of West Virginia,
made addresses defending the liquor
trade and explaining and opposing the
teaching of the ProhibitioniSts. George
Kinney, in an address, said that George
Washington and Andrew Jackson, in
their day, were distillerS. He produced
proof of his assertion in book form.
He said the business was an honest, le-
ultimate and honorable one. A commit
tee appointed to examine the finance re-
port, reported that the paper was cor
rect and most satisfactory. The ma
tional committee was then organized as
follows: II. Huffman, of Terre Haute,
Ind. Mark Fischel, Connecticut; n. j.
Smith, Richmond, Va; Samuel Vert
helm, Pittsburg; George Hewitt, WOr-
ceSter, Mass; }. G. Holmes, Cleveland;
George Benz, st. Paul; George
Kenny, Nashville, Tenn; James Han
ley, Providence, L. l.; William &. Ross,
New York; James NJ. Kimbrough, Lex
ington, Ky; John Enright, II. G. Sell
ner, st. Louis; II. G. Fechheimer, De-
troit; E. H. Roeh. Dakota, and Henry

tons for membership since the opening
of the convention. Adjourned sine die.

GOLDENsEN Is GAME.
A San Francisco Murderer Who
Will Swing Tomorrow.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 12.-The
sheriff is overrun by crowds who want
to witness the Goldensen hanging next
Friday. -Four hundred and fifty invi-
tations have been issued. Among those
who called for tickets was a
well dressed woman from Aus
tralia, who said she did not
want to miss the execution,
as it would be rare psychological
study. When told that women were not
admitted to hangings, she asked if she
could not get pass should she dress III
meu's clothes. GoldenSen begins to
weaken, but is braced up on stimulants.
He prepared long indictment OF the
sheriff, which he was prevailed upon
not to print. He wants to speak for
half an hour on the gallOwS, but this
will not be permitted. He threatens
to die cursing Sheriff McMann,
and he says these curses will have their
effect as the sheriff will speedily follow
him to the grave. GOldenSen'S lawyers
will attempt tomorrow to have the
sheriff arrested for contempt, for failure
to bring GoldenSen before a jury i'm
panneled to test his sanity. If the
sheriff is arrested, he will delegate his
duties at the gallows to the coroner.
There will be disagreeable scene at
the hanging, as GOldenSen is ugly and
bears Ven0mous hatred toward the
sheriff

For Sabin.

Mankato REVIEW.
There is one fact that the people should not
lose sight of. and that is that the nomination
of Mr. Merriam is victory for Sabin, and was
accomplished largely through his following
There is not Il prominent friend of Sabin's in
the state who did not support Merriam. The
Merriam campaigners, while looking out first
for their chief, have also kept an eye open
for Sabin, and all through the southwestern
counties traces of their work may be found.
We have no doubt but were the issue directly
and openly made Sabin could not command
a corporal's guard vote in these counties, but
covertly and secretly waged, ashis campaign
is now, and unsupported by the general pub
lie, he is making Roadway, and will do so
more rapidly hereafter, encouraged by Mer-
RAMS success. Every candidate for the
legislature. before he is elected, should be
made to put himself squarely on record on
this issue. Let the test be applied, and in a
manner that will leave no doubt of the can
didate's position.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Democrats in Council---A Repub-
liean Bolt.

The Democratic campaign executive
committee met at the Merchants yester
day and, with Mr.. Wilson, continued
their campaign arrangements. The
work on sending out tariff reform mate
rial has commenced. Every township
in the state is to be covered and receive
these documents. The list of campaign
speakers is growing every day, and the
arrangement of the dates will be COM
pleted at once. Messrs. Singer. Pau,
Lawrence, Frank Randall, of Winona,
and other local Democrats were pres
ent.
P. H. Konzen, chairman of the Kilt
son Republican committee, has come
out and declared for Cleveland and Will
son.
The Sank Rapids Sentinel (Rep.) is
leaning strongly towards Cleveland and
Wilson. 1t denounces the methods by
which Merriam was nominated.
After spending yesterday afternoon
at the fair grounds with Mr.. Merriam,
John L. Gibbs announced last evening
that he would not name the Republican
state central committee until to-day.

MONoPOLY's DEFENDERS.

1t is not surprising that the Republi-
can party is the Outspoken champion of
monopoly as against the interests of the
people when we come to consider the
fact that its leaders are all the paid de-
tenders Of corporations and trusts. Can
didate HARRISON himself for years has
been a railroad and corporation lawyer.
BLAINE dares to say in public speech
before the people, that trusts" are
private affairs, with which the public
has nothing to do. Most of the Repub-
lican senators hold their seats from cor
rupt and servile legislatures. Speaking
of these men, the Philadelphia Record
says:
TELLER and Bowen, Of Colorado, are repre-
sentatiyes of the bonanza kings of the Pa
cific coast. DOLPH and MITCHELL, of Ore
gOn. are the senatorial attorneys of the
Northern Pacific Railway company, over
whose enormous land grants they keep
watch and ward. Senators PALMER and

MIR. RICE RENoMINATED.

The action of the Fourth district Demo-
cratic convention yesterday in nominal
ing Hon. EDMUND RICE was as graceful
as it was proper. In fact. there was moth
ing else for the convention to do after
MI. RICE had signified his willingness
to serve another term in congress. He
has made such a splendid record in con-
gress, and has discharged the trust dele
gated to him with such singular fidelity
and ability, that it would have been out
OF the question to have considered any
other name in connection with the con-
greSsiOnal nomination. That he will be
reelected goes without saying. for the
interests of the Fourth district are of
too much consequence to be committed
to a new and untried hand when the
services of man like Mr.. RICE are
available.

ALL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The Tribune Simply Following Its
Lying Leaders.

Lying Leaders.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In commenting upon President Cleve-
lands letter of acceptance this morning
the Tribune, editorially, says while re-
ferring to the tariff question::
But he tails to mention that under exist
ing laws there was no necessity forlhoard-
ing a surplus, and that large percentage of
the money in the treasury has not been with
drawn from circulation, but has been loaned
out to Democratic banks without interest
Is the statement true? If not, what
guarantee has the public th at the bal
ance of the Tribune's remarks are not
false also? Were the United States
treasury without surplus to-day there
would be a Republican ''kick" at its
depleted condition. Now there is
good balance on hand and they try 10
"kick" harder than the Democrats to re-
duce it. If this enormous surplus is the
result of existing tariff laws, then the
Republicans are to blame because they
have been making them for nearly a
quarter of a century. Respectfully,

He is young man of fine mind, and
made a clean-cut speech of acceptance
that fully convinced all who heard him
that he would be heard with effect dur
ing the campaign. Mr.. COburn was
brought up on farm, and has always
followed that calling. He has been a
diligent student. and has an excellent
practical education. The convention
was enthusiastic, and number of
stirring speeches were made endorsing
the administration of President Cleve-
land.
The Republican convention for this
district also met to-day, at Mansion,

SEEKING RIGHT.
The Laborers and Farmers Study
81, ing the Tax Question.

an ing the Tax Question.
g The audiences that greet Eugene
Wilson as he speaks from point to
point.in the state are in the majority made
up of farmers and laborers. This was
strongly noticeable at Fergus Falls,
where Mr.. Wilson and j. N. Castle de-
liyered two of the ablest actresses OF the
campaign. Messrs. Wilson and Castle
presented their tax discussion in the
form of defining the tax; exposure of
its unjustness and illegality and the
remedies to be sought by the common
people for relief. Their audience was
made up of labOrers in their overalls
and farmers fresh from their fields.
They listened to what was said with the
keenest interest and applauded every
point made against monopolistie uSurry
and the taX-gatherer. Where the seats
might have been expected to have been
filled by the upper classes, sat the work
ing people-the men most oppressed
and to whom relief is the most needed.
They sat for two hours listening to the
arguments advanced. And their request
at the end was ''come again."

of Minnesota: SPooNER and SAWYER, of Wis
consin, and FARwELL, of Illinois, represent
the great railroad corporations, the lumber
and salt trusts, and other rings of monopo
lists of the Northwest. Some of these sem
ators are leading members of the trusts, ana
owe their wealth as well as their political
standing to the power of railroad corpora
tons and to the favoritism of the govern
ment in taxing for their benefit prime articles
of necessity among the people.

The refusal of the politicians to compliment

for the party that the old gang have again
