WHATEVER else may be said about Gen,
Baker it ~cannottbe denied that he made
a most gallant fight on the floor of the
State convention in behalf of the candi.
dacy of the nominee of the Republicans.
and to his efforts, combined with those
of Gov. Barto, may be justly attributed
a large share of the credit in holding the
well organized forces of the Merriam
contingent steadfast. These two gentle
men have powerful voices, ready com
mand of language, and unlimited re-
sources in grasping important points
| which tell In a fight so determined and
we'll managed on all sides as was the one
held the present week. Mr.. Merriam's
nomination is wholly due to the coun-
| try districts. The cities of st. Paul and
Minneapolis were solid against him, and
he did not get a single vote from either
Hennepin or Ramsey counties until at
ter his nomination was practically made.
BY this we mean that their columns re-
NAMED solid against him until the last
ballot, when a few votes from Hennepin
came over, but Mr.. Merriam had already
received a good majority of all the votes
cast without their and. 1t cannot be
said, therefore, that the rural districts
were guided or manipulated in the
choice of a candidate for Governor by
the metropolitan communities, and it is
fortunate that such is the case.

IT WILL be no surprise to the average
reader that such papers as the st. Paul
Globe and NeOs-the n starting a lie in
the evening and the other charging on
it in the morning-have come out thus
early with startling and horrifying dis
closures of doodle offering" at the
state convention by friends of Mr.. Mer-
riam. The NeUs goes way down in the
depths of unseen and undiscovered re-
recesses and pulls out "a man of the
name of Johnson" who Is said to have
affirmed or sworn to being offered the
munifcent sum of $3.50 for his vote In
favor of Merriam! Ye gods, but what a
temptation this must have been even to
80 pure and undefiled an individual as
the ''man of the name of Johnsonl'
What nerve he must be possessed of.
The idea that a man of the name of
Johnson" with a biblical prefix
''Isaac''-shouid have such undoubted
integrity, such a force of character, is, in
the eyes of these high-moral Democratic
organs q most wonderful fact! But after
all, it Is not so much of a wonder when
it is known that he is a Republican.
And, again, the FUNNY part of this great
est discovery on earth is the fact that
the discovery did not discover. 1t is al
legged that Mr.. 6. o. Dahl, Of Fergus
Falls, was he who offered Mr. johnson
the cold cash. Now Mr.. Dahl charac-
terlzes the charge as a malicious false
hood, wholly without foundation or the
semblance of truth! Mr.. Dahl enjoys
the reputation in his community of be-
ing an upright, truthful business man,
and of course his statement will be &C
cepted as true-not wholly because it
happens to come from Mr.. Dahl, the ac-
cused, but because Republicans-the
supporters of Mr.. Merriam in particular
had no occasion to resort to such
measures as these Democratic organs
would have the people believe. No
man ever came before a convention OF
Republlcans in this state with cleaner
hs.ds or more ardent supporters than
did MI. Merriam, and no man ever re-
ceived a more hearty endorsement at
the hands of the representatives OF his
party. There were three avowed candi-
dates seeking the nomination through
their friends. The organization OF the
convention was made through the COM
biustion of the McGill-Schef1er "

MAINE has spoken and in unmis-
taxable words. The returns indicate
that the Republicans at Mondays cleo
ton did all the expected to do-increas-
ed their plurality for governor over 1884,
reelected the entire congressional dele
CATION by increased majoritIes, chose ey-
cry member of the state senate, four
ifths of the state representatives, and
carried every county in the state on the
popular vote. This is glory enough for
one day. The fisheries treaty and free
trade have bore fruit in Maine. The
Democracy put up as its ~gubernatorial
candidate one of the negotiators of the
treaty, and the people accepting the is
sue knocked him down harder than
Redmond in September, 1884, or Cleve-
lar d in November. The Democrats also
carried the free lumber discussion into
the state, and the people replied by re-
electing the Republican leader of the
House by more than twice the majority
he had in 1886. The result is a clear vic
tory for Protection.

"IfOur country people would well
consider that all they save in re-
fusing to purchase foreign gewgsws
and in making their own apparel,
being applied to the Improvement

those more profitable as yielding
greater produce, l should hope they
would persist resOlutelJ In their
present commendable industry aud

other consideration. The colonies
that produce provisions grow very
fast. BIT OF the countries that
take off those provisions some do
not increase at all, as the European
nations, and others, as the West
India colonies, not in the same
proportion.
every manufacturer encouraged
in our country makes part OF a
market for provisions within our
selNe and saves so much money
to the country as must otherwise
be exported to pay for the manu-
features he supplies. Here In
England it is we'll known and un.
derstOOd that wherever a manu-
facture is established which en-
plOys q number of hands it raises
the value of lands IN the nelghbOr-
ing country all around it, partly
by the greater demand near at
hand for the produce Of the land
and partly from the plenty OF
money drawn by the manufacturers
to that part Of the country. 1t
