A Letter and q Speech.
M sVy.rn. D-.,.T

On the same Fourth of July day on
which Senator Harrison made q speech ac-
cspting the Republican nomination for the
Presidency . letter WAS read from Presi-
dent Cleveland in response to an invitation
to assist in the celebration of the Declare
ton of Independence. Both the speech and
the letter were carefully prepared, and,
brief as they are, they afford no slight in
sight into the traits of their respective
authors. OF the earnestness and directness
of purpose which mark the Presidents
letter there is little or no trace in the
speech of the Republican candidate.
While President Cleveland addressed
himself to the whole American people,
the Republican candidate could not extend
his mental vision beyond his party. Upon
reading the letter of the President every
one feels that its author is deeply impressed
with sense OF responsibility. There is no
such feeling in reading the commopplaees
of Senator Hsrrison's speech.
With simple eloquencs the President
warns the people against the deceptive cry
that the wages Of labor and means OF en-
ployment sre threatened by the efforts to
reform a system which benefits few at
the expense of every householder in the
land The Republican candidate avails
himself of the day of national festivity to
boast that the party to which he belongs
''has lifted the shaft of patriotism upon
the foundation laid at Bunker Hill"
There is none of that sort Of Fourth
of July ''fiapdoodle" in the
Presidents letter. The mind of the
President is too deeply occupied with the
great issue which is uppermost in the
thoughts of his fellow citizens to permit
him to indulge in oratorical pyrotechnics,
and he refers 20 the great anniversary only
to impress upon the people determine
ton 10 insist upon securing all the bless
ings and benefits their Government should
afford. President Cleveland's letter is
good reading for any day in the year,
though especially appropriate to the patri
otto occasion which called it forth. Apart
from its Fourth of July phrases about
Washington and Lincoln, Yorktown
and Appomattox, the Declaration of In
dependence and the Emancipation Proc
lamation, the speech of the Repub-
lican candidate is utterly barren of an idea,
except the original and profound opinion
that 1--WE may expect an unusual popular
interest in this campaign" This is view
of the political situation which no one is
likely to call in question.
Those who had persuaded themselves
that President Cleveland would be driven
By the elamor Of monopoly and its agents
to lower his tone in the great issue of the
contest have been egregiously disappointed
by his letter. Every word breathes the
spirit of man who has dedicated himself
to the public cause, and who cannot be |
sweryed from his purpose by the threats |
and assaults of the whole phalanx of tar
lifted monopoly.

THE frantic efforts of Republican apollo
gists to dodge candidate HARRIsoN's
Chinese record are painfully amusing.
The most ludicrous of all, is the gentle
man who sOlemnly and lugubriously as
serts, that it is dead issue. 1t is for
gotten that il the issue is dead one, it
is made so by the treaty concluded by q
Democratic President, and that that treaty
is now held up by Republican Ssnats,
in a vain and childish effort to rob a
Democratic administration of the credit
that would accrue from settling q long
vsxed question.

G. w. Hornick had been seen by Gen.
Flower and was apparently as formerly
in favor of McGiILl, and agreed
to go on that ticket. In the meantime
''Seen" him, and he was also placed on
their ticket, and all afternoon and even
ing he was the most vigorous and
enterprising Merriam ticket ped
dler in the ward. The McGill
men lost the precinct by his detection,
and they are not backward in laying his
studded conversion to the magical prop
critics of Merriam's persuasive argu-
ment. The Merriam managers attempt
ed to vote the same drove of street car
men against whom such fuss was
kicked up at the Democratic
caucus two weeks ago, but the ever
alert ii. B. Willis was on hand and sue
ceeded in keeping out fifteen or twenty
of them, and not more than half dozen
were allowed to vote. In the Third
precinct the contest was more one
sided. Here the employees at
the street car barn were
all allowed to vote. and
the Merriam ticket won by vote of 4S
to Is. E. s. Beck and j. G. ShandreW
were ON the McGill ticket, while ]. W.
Pinch and T. r. Palmer were on the
Merriam plaster. There were no split
tickets in this precinct, and both men
received the same on each ticket.
| One feature of the performance In
the First and Second precincts was a
crowd of colored voters brought into
the ward by G. W. Hornick. Willis
and his lieutentants kicked vigorously
and they were not allowed to vote.
B. F. Wright received two votes in
this precinct,

Tenth and Eleventh.

The only opposition in the Tenth
ward to the cut-and-dried ticket of the
Republican clubs of the respective pre-
cincts was at Hamline, the first pre-
cinet. Here E.. G. Long, Merri,.m
81 votes. while A. III. Gilkey, McGill
man, received 90 votes. In the Second
precinct. at st. Anthony, the 2S votes
were all cast for J. p. jacobson, who is
solid for McGilI. According to this
vote, McGill loses his own ward by 10
votes.
In the Eleventh ward there were four
delegates elected, each receiving 6S
votes. They are A. G. Clausen, l.. 81.
Richardson, Robert Deakin and Geo. A.
Hunt. The two latter are solid for Mer-
riam. l.. III. Richardson is doubtful,
but it is said on pretty good authority
that he will be a Merriam man. A. G.
Ciausen, state grain inspector, is Nc
Gill man. There was no opposition to
these.

THE RESULT IN DETAIL.
First Ward,

There could not have been quieter
caucus for such crowd than that of the
girst ward at 621 Lafayette avenue.
Zach man seemed to have had his mind
uade up before coming to vote,
% the Jealous ticket sellers did not
nave any use for any great amount
bf persuasion. The intense enthusiasm
:elt in the caucus let itself loose when
he result of the vote was announced.
"Hurrah for Schefferr' was yelled
again and again, and that shout was
taken up by others and soon heare far
out Collins street and down Lafayette.
The Scheffer ticket received vote
Of 357 against 1856 for the Merriam ticket,
being majority OF 172 for Scheffer, or
almost two to one. This is singular,
seeing that the First ward is almost en-
tirely scandinavian. No McGill tickets
were deposited; indeed, no delegation
at all was made up for McGill.
