The great party Of the country which had

Mr.. Davis of Minnesota, in few f1owery
remarks, on behalf of Minnesota also Sec
onded the motion to make the nomination
unanimous. The chair then read dis
patch he had received from Russell A. AL

thanks to the delegates who so Loyalty

the convention cheered loudly. After the
convention had been addressed by Wise
and Malone of Virginia, Proctor of Ver-
mont, Lynch of Mississippi. Thurston OF
Nebraska, Harrison of North Carolina,
Williams of Arkansas, and Bradley Of
Kentucky, all in the same strain, the
chairman put the motion of Governor
Foraker. which was adopted with shouts,
and the chairman declared that Senator
Harrison was the unanimous nominee of
the convention and of the party for presi-

the convention went OH with the regular
order, placing in nomination candidates

in nomination William o. Bradley of
Kentucky, and the nomination was sec

OF Alabama and Mr.. Houk of Tennessee.
Mr.: Houk charged that the south was
solid much because OF the neglect OF the
republican party to look after the republic

FRIGHTENED REPUBLICANS.

There is one very significant feature
of the present campaign in Minnesota.
-Four years ago, so certain were they of
carrying the state for BLAINE, the Re-
publican state central committee did
not consider it worth while to make any
special effort, and were rather proud of
the fact that the campaign hardly cost
them $1,000.
But things are different this year.
The Republicans have discovered that
the take-it-eaSy methods of 1854 wouldn't
do. They have pulled off their coats.
and are working night and day. Thou
sands of dollars are being spent now
where one was gIudgingly given then.
The state has been flooded with stump
speakers, and localities to which it used
to be considered unnecessary TO give
any attention are now nightly broken of
their rest by the racket of Republican
brass bands and the cries of Republican
orators.
Surely there must be a cause for this
unparalleled activity among the Repub-
lican managers of Minnesota. And there
is. 1t has been discovered that this
state can no longer be counted on as
safely Republican. 1t has been discOv-
cred that when it comes to a campaign
of ideas. the death knell of blind par
tisan voting is sounded. Iii a word,
Minnesota has become not only doubt
full, but very doubtful, from a Repub-
lican standpoint.
And this is the cause of the worry at
Republican headquarters.

THEY GIVE IT UP.

SENATOR SHERMAN comedies that In
diana will be carried by the Democrats,
while FRED DOUGLASS makes no bones
of saying that both New York and In
diana are lost to the Republicans. FRED
DOUGLASS has been in the service of
the Republican national committee, and
has been making speeches for HARRI-
son and MORTON in both states; there
fore his opinion is worth something.
DOUGLASS is an honest old cOlored man
who usually speaks the truth without
regard to consequences, and in this in
stance the defeat of the national Repub-
lican ticket is so apparent to his mind
he feels it to be his duty to state the sit
uation exactly as he sees it. If, accord
ing to his estimate, the Republicans
i'll New York state only come to Har-
lem river with $4,000 majority. that fixes
Cleveland's majority at not less than
$4,000, with the probability that it will
reach $4,000. Mr.. DOUGLASS Observa-
tons IN Indiana leave no question in his
mind as to how the result will be in
that state. With the Democrats organ-
lied as they have never been before and
the labor vote of the state practically
solid for CLEVELAND and THURMAN, the
only question is as to the size of the
Democratic plurality. This matter of
state pride upon which the Republicans
relied SO confidently in the beginning to
carry Indiana doesn't pan out. The
boosters are not overly sentimental in
their politics, and if state pride were an
influencing consideration, HARRISON is
not the man to awaken the pride OF the
people of Indiana.

issue now before the people.
But what change has taken place in
the Republican attitude toward tariff
reform! There were GRANT, GARFIELD,
ARTHUR, HENRY WILSON, OLIVER p.
MORTON. HUGH MCCULLOCH, FoLGER,
ALLISON, MCKINLEY and JOHN SHEER
MAN-all good Republicans, and con-
corning whose loyalty to party not a
breath of suspicion was ever raised-all
demanding such a reduction of the tar
if as would relieve the people of the
oppressive burden of taxation under
which they were grooming. Nor was it
merely in generalities that these men
dealt. They were specific in their de-
mands. and with hardly an exception
they advocated the removal of the
duties imposed on raw materials and
the neceSSaries of life.
And then there was the Pioneer Press,
which used to glory in its valiant fight
for tariff reform. and did not hesitate to
tell Mr.. BLAINE that neither it nor the
Republicans of the West agreed with
his views as to the beneficial results of
a high tariff, either to the farmer or the
mechanic, and which denounced any at
tempt to abolish the internal reuenue
tax. Yes, there was the Pioneer Press.
But here is the Pioneer Press to-day de-
voting its columns to scare headlines
and BREWER editorials clarifying BLAINE
as the only true prophet, clarifying a
platform which favOrs "the entire re-
peal of the internal revenue taxes
rather than surrender any part of our
protective SYSTEM" Has, then, truth
undergone so remarkable and radical a
change? Is what was truth then false
to-day?
No, no. Intelligent and thinking
voters are not to be bamboozled by this
sort of thing. They realize the hollow
mockery and hypocrisy of the BLAINE
campaign. On election day they will
place the seal of their condemnation
upon it and administer the rebuke it
deserves.

The supreme court of this state should
be reorganiZed, and an opportunity is
offered to place Seagrave Smith as chief
justice and George w. Batchelder as
justice. Every taxpayer should read
the following decision: 1.-THE sale of
lot 4, st. Louis avenue, Duluth, for de-
linquent taxes, was made Sept. 10, 1881,
for IS cents. On the same day w. w.
Billson paid 4S cents for said lot, with
costs. etc. Sept. &c Billson conveyed
the same by quitclalm deed to Cordeiia
Wass, hoping thereby to cover up his
own tracks. Soon thereafter the real
owner of the lot, one Chauncey, filed all
action; and demurrer being inter-
posed by the defendant through her at
torney, the said w. w. BiiIson, the
same was sustained in the court below,
and an appeal taken to the supreme
court and affirmed by that body. The
court, as constituted at present, per-
mtted. yes sanctioned. the robbery of
Chauncey by the said Billson, whereby
he became possessed of said lot for 10
cents" Taxpayers, think Of this and

THE ENVELOPE OUTRAGE.

Trusts are private affairs, says Mr..
BLAINE. But trusts do not hesitate
to take hand in public affairs. One
of the leading combinations of this sort
is the envelope trust, which has crushed
out all competition in the manufacture
and sale of envelopes in the United
States. So successful has 1T been in
its work that no private person who
may desire to enter into the business
of manufacturing envelopes is even
permitted to buy the necessary ma
chinery. This trust is, moreover, pro
tected'' by tariff duty of % per cent,
and the senate tariff bill proposes to
raise this duty TO more than 100 per
cent. In view of these facts, it is
scarcely surprising to learn that this
envelope trust is furnishing the Repub-
lican national committee with the en-
velopes inscribed with threats and i'll
Limitations, which the committee is
distributing among Eastern manufact-
urers, who use them to inclOse the
wages of their workingmen.
And yet the Republican platform de-
clared opposition to all combinations
of capital organized in trusts, or other
wise, to control arbitrarily the condi-

A Political Coincidence.

Gently met prominent Republican leader
on the train, to whom | remarked that
believed that Donnelly was first put INTO the
field by Merriam as the farmers and labor
union candidate for governor to defeat the
nomination of Mr.. Scheffer, and that he was
now kept in the field to draw the labor vote
from Wilson-to which the leader replied:
Eyes; but it is certainly in the wrong direc-
ton. He is taking all our Farmers Repub-
lican alliance men with him, and have writ
ten Merriam that he must take him Don
nelly down or he will beat u.s. and he has
got to do it, The next week Donnelly an
nounced his withdrawal from the farmer
and labor union cause, and declared in favor
of Merriam direct. The conclusion is ire
sistible that Donnelly is and has been used as
the simple tool of Merriam to mislead and
deceive the farmers and the labor element,
and they cannot better resent the unworthy
course of the principal and tool than by vot-
ing for the soldier patriot and statesman,
Eugene Wilson, for governor.

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Mr.. MERRIAM says he is not particu-
lar as to what articles are protected and
what are not. so long as the principle of
protection is preserved. To a man who
has fortune in government bonds on
which he draws interest payable in
gold, and on which he pays no taxes, it
doesn't make much difference what else
may be taxed. But to the hard-pressed
farmer and the toiling mechanic. who
pay taxes on every thing they own, eat
or wear, it does make sight of differ
ence what articles are protected by an
unjust tariff and what are not. The
farmer and the wOrkingman will take
issue with Mr.. MERRIAM on this propO-
sition, and the issue will be decided at
the polls week from next Tuesday.

WAYS OFTHE FUNNY WORLD

This world is very funny
For no matter how much money
Man is earning, he will spend ii, and be hard
up all the time
To his utmost he is straining
To catch up without attaining
Till he makes his life a burden when it
should be bliss sublime
He who earns thousand merely
Thinks two thousand dollars yearly
Would be just the figure to make happiness
complete;
But his income when is doubles
Only multiplies his troubles.
For his outgo then increasing makes his both
ends worse to meet.
1t is run in debt and borrow,
Flush to-day and broke tomorrow,
Finaneiering every whichway to postpone
the day of doom.
Spending money ere he makes it,
And then wondering what takes it.
Till he, giving up the riddle, looks for rest
within the tomb.
Oh, this world is very funny
To the average man whose money
Doesn't quite pay for the dancing that he
does before he should;
And he kills himself by trying
Just little higher flying
Than is suited to his pocket and his own
eternal good.

CANDIDATE MORTON has been a very
silent factor thus far in the presiden-
tial campaign, but it appears to be
about time for him to make few re-
marks. Since his nomination he has
been charged with using his official pO-
sition as United States minister to make
profitable bargains for his banking
house; with violating the law by i'm
porting contract labor; with fraudu-
lently antedating his resignation as a
director of the Canadian Pacific; with
sending large sums of money into North
Carolina to influence the judicial and
legislative elections in the hope of Sc
curing the enactment of a law legaliz-
ing a lot of fraudulent state bonds now
owned by MORTON, BLISS & Co. And
yet Mr.. MOTION is dumb. Are these
charges so trivial, in his opinion, as not
to require any denial? The public is
not of that way of thinking.
