wants. When he says Blaine will be
Nominated, am ready to believe it.
T. w. Brosnan-Alger is pine baron
and his nomination would sway against
him organized labor in every section.
M. F. Hanley-There is no such thing
as dude Democracy. We leave that to
the other party.
81. W. Knapp cannot see that 1t
makes any great difference who is the
Chicago nominee. His defeat is
certain. The Republican party will
die and we Prohibitionists will assim-
ilate its best elements.
Smith, have about made up my
mind to pull out Of the race for county
attorney and be candidate for the leg
islature.
A. r. Chesnut-It is of grearer mo-
ment to me, just now, who will be alder
men from the Eigth ward than who will
be president of the United States.
Returned from Chicago-The report
Is current at Chicago that A. j. Blethen
has made ready for morning paper in
Minneapolis, Republican in politics,
with Frank Hatton as editor.
George K. Shawl always thought
Blaine would be nominated, but when
everybody else began to think SO, L
changed my mind.
Louis Runge-Our Gresham got the
worst of the deal, anyway.
George Ciprico-My manager! Oh, ye
gods! Do you mean Weadon? Save
me, gracious heaveni
Mayor AmeS-There was never an ar
rangement that had anything to do
with that did not include provision for
the press.
CT. Baxter-Any story of trouble
between the Algonquin and Young
Mems Democratic clubs is without
foundation. Too many of the members
of one belong to the other for any
thing like that.
viii E. Raskell-News Editor, Trib-
une: See that my share of the Chicago
work is given proper editorial send off.
can not do this for fun.
Judge Hicks-The dignity of the
judicial seat and the emaculate white
ness of the ermine shall never suffer
while represent the one and wear the
other.
F. A. Merrill-It is amusing to read
the Republican platform carefully and
see the pains with which everything is
avoided. 1t says absolutely nothing and
takes absolutely no stand.
Frank Meade-I won $40 from Free
man Lane on the first ballot. Two
weeks ago, before the situation was
developed, / bet him that Sherman
would have over 200 on the first ballot.
j. f. Conklin-If Blaine is nominated
there will be plenty of delegates who
will not vote for him, even on the final
ballot.
John Bennett-One thing can be said,
at all events, whatever may be the re-
suit, the Minneapolis team play ball
like gentlemen and professionals.
Rev. G. L. Morrill-The Ministerial
association means business.
John Cheatham-ThP SHIT in the ar
ticle ON wheat tickets in Fridays
GLOBE, was brought by Charles Prodell
against Pillsbury & Ehle for the recOv-
cry of wheat stored at Renvllle. The
case was before Judge Buckham at
Faribault, who decided that Ehle had a
right to ship Prodell'S wheat, even
though he had not paid for it.; and it
was in store and still owned by Prodell,
and Pillsburys are not liable, although
they received it. By this decision
wheat tickets are no security, nor is
any one safe in storing his wheat. The
wheat ring is still on top, with its hand
at the throat of the Minnesota farmer.
A. T. Ankey-The Republican plat
form reads like a stump speech rather
than the usual plain statement of prin-
ciples. To make national issue of the
question whether or not letter postage
should be reduced from 2 cents an
ounce to cent, is the merest buncombe,
as is also its pretended elevation of free
schools. Nobody ever before heard that
either party had any different opinion
on such matters. The pith of the plat
form, however, is its tariff doctrine.
Here it out-Herods Herod. Every
one knows that the only ques-
ton at issue is how to get
rid of the surplus. The Democratic
platform demands that it be done by
ceaSing to collect the duties, and so
giving to the people cheaper goods and
the comforts of life. The Republican
platform processes to want the same
thing, but proposes to do it by giving
US cheaper whisky and tobacco. The
talk about the Republican plan being
"a protective system" is ponsense, for
It's only protection is to the grinding
monopolieS. Depew truly hit the nail
OH the head when he said: "We will
raise the protective tariff cry and try to
stampede the worllingmen." He is
just fool enough to believe they can be
daceived by such arrant clap-trap.
Thomas J. Leftwich-The spectacle
of a judge objecting to an ''offer," made
TO the court and not to the witness, be-
cause it is leading, quality inherent in
the very nature of an ''otfer of evil
dence," is enough to dash with smile
the features of the Egyptian sphinx,
were it not for the pity and commisera-
ton it eXcites. For the district court
entertain the profoundest regard. The
court of last resort of the state will have
an opportunity to pass upon this unique
sortie of Henry q. Hicks. When our
judges become so infirm that a leading
offer of evidence threatens the stability
of that nice equilibrium which charac-
terizes or is supposed to characterize the
judicial office, the commons had best
speak at the polls, and permit such SEN
sitive, lavender -besprinkled creatures to
return to the fitting Obscuritv from
which they sprung.
Junge Lochren-It is rather amusing
to have the Republicans, in their plat
form, accuse the Democratic party of
trying to demonetiZe silver. They seem
to forget that when silver was demone-
tiZed that both houses of congress were
Republican.
Col. w. H. Grimshaw--Jim Blaine is
the only man who can carry every
Northern state.
Ex-Chief of Police Peck-The Re-
publican party has a chance to elect
their man this time, but if Blaine is
nominated he will be defeated as bad
as Pillsbury was at the last election for
mayor.
Deputy Sheriff Lucker-Nearly all
the Republicans whom | have talked
with concede to Cleveland a walk-away
Ii jim Blaine is nominated.
