ODOROUS ELKINS.
Blaine's Lieutenant Is Whooping
1t Up in West Virginia.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-This being a
legal holiday there was little news in
political circles. The headquarters of
the Democratic national committee
were closed in honor of the OCCASION
The only thing talked of at all was the
exposure of the plot to c0lonize
West Virginia by Steve Elkins.
When this fact was called to the atten-
ton of the Republican managers the
only response was look of profound
disgust. Steve Elkins. just now does
not stand in very good odOr with men
who are conducting the canvass for Har-
rison and Morton. The dislike to Mr..
Elkins dates back to the last ma
tional campaign. In 1884 Mr.. Elkins
put large amount of the campaign
funds into West Virginia, with the in
sane idea that it would carry the state.
He did this against the advice of such
men as Tom Platt, Senator Hiscock,
Chauncey M. Depew and Others.
Mr.. Platt now believes and openly
states that Mr.. Elkins' action in
that campaign was due entirely to his
ambition, not only to carry the state for
BIeine, but also to elect Republican
legislature, which would send him TO
the United States SeuaIe. IHlS Was
Mr.. Elkins' ambition and he was willing
to sacrifice any one for 1t. This was
the standing up to month
ago. EIkins' whole object in trying to
get Blaine nominated in Chicago was
for the purpose of capturing the Repub-
lican national committee and the con-
troll of Republican campaign funds.
Failing in this, he put up the job
for a grand Blaine reception, for
the purpose of inducing the Har-
rison men to make a thick
and thin bargain with Blaine by which
Blaine would be boss of the administra-
ton in case of Harrison's election. He de-
manded to be put upon the Republican
national committee as an advisory MEM
Der; In other words, tantamount
to being boss Of the concern. Quay

ROCHESTER,, Minn., Sept. 3. - The
opening day of the Southern Minnesota
fair was as bright as any one could
wish. The result of the fine weather
was evident early in the morn
ing, for streams of humanity began
pouring in from all directions and
by noon the city was crowded. EXhib-
itOrs have been making all haste to get
their exhibits in position, large force
OF men being kept busy throughout
Sunday. The grounds of the associa
ton have been filled to their utmost
capacity, and numbers were unable
to secure accommodations. This was
especially true in the live stock de-
partmentS, although 10 new stalls were
erected this year. The exhibit of
blooded horses is superior to that
of any former year. Seven car loads
were received yesterday to take part in
the racing. and some fine contests are
promised, providing rain does not spoil
the track. The association has erected
a permanent dining hall, and improved
the grounds to the extent of several
thousand dollars this year. Prepara-
tions are being made for the grand we'd
ding tomorrow, and it is expected that
will be the largest day of the fair.
The couple who are to be married.
their names have been kept profound
secret, are to go through the marriage
ceremony under magnificent structure
erected on the grand stand, mainly
composed of flowers. The bride will
be attended by ten bridesmaids, little
girls tastefully dressed, and there will
also be two ushers. The association
has sent out 5000 Invitations and there
will undoubtedly be an immense crowd.
The following is the programme for the
secon day of the fair: Rochester and
Olmsted county day. Children under
fourteen years of age admitted free.
From 10 to II a. m, pony races, games
and foot races for the children: grand
wedding in front of the amphitheater
at 1870 O'Clock; 2:2S class. trotting,
500; three-year-old colt stake race,
eleven entries, association to add S75;
running race, half mile and repeat, farm
horses. $50.
Fawcett's band of Winona has been
engaged and will furnish music during
the week.

CLEVELAND'S POLICY

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WATERLOO, To-, Sept. 3.-A big SEN
sation in local political circles has been
created by the announcement that seY-
eral prominent Republicans have de-
termined to vote for Cleveland. Among
those mentioned were Judge j.
d. Platt, president Of the Com
mercial National bank; Hon. Lore
Afford, one of the most prominent at
torneys in Iowa and ex-speaker of the
Republican house of representatives
Judge Platt says he cannot longer sup
port the Republican party because of
its position on the tariff question; in
an honest fair minded expression,
he can find little to criticise in Cleve-
Republican since the campaign of 1860,
when he supported Douglas, but
wheeled INTO line with the war party,
and afterwards supported Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield, and has been with
the Republican party, though not
an extreme partisan, during and
since the war. He believes
the Democratic party represented
by Cleveland, as the candidate is fol-
lowing in the line of Grant, Hayes, Gar
field and Arthur in demanding a just
reduction of the tariff, while the Re-
publican party is on record opposing in
their Chicago platform the oft assert
ed principles by that party of tariff
reform. The judge prefers to follow
principles rather than party and be-
lieves the best interests of the country
and the good of the laboring man will
be best served by the election of Cleve-
land and Thurman. Mr.. Alv0rd differs
with his party on the tariff and free
whisky planks and will veto for Cleve-
land

TO-MOHROW,s CONVENTION.

1O-MO1ShoW > SON HS1N Alo4N'
The Republicans will meet in state
convention in this city tomorrow TO
nominate state ticket and to adopt a
platform in opposition to the ticket
named and platform adopted by the
Democratic convention three weeks
ago. Will they do it? That is singu-
lar question to ask, or it would be
singular one under ordinary circum-
stances. Yet we behold the spectacle
of Republican wrangle o. tie bltterest
character over the very question
whether the party shall stand to its OLD
col0rs or take new departure by oceu-
pying the more popular ground upon
which the Democrats are standing.
The young, progressive element or
the Minnesota Republicans are making
a heroic effort to lift the party out or
the old ruts. and to put it in harmony
with the progressive ideas of the age.
This element is led by ALBERT SCHEF-
FER, who has proved himself to be a
veritable BLUCHER in the war of poll
tics. He is opposed by two other eie-
mentS-the Fossils, under the leader
ship of Gov. MCGII.I., and the Boss
Corporation combination, headed by
Banker MERRIAM.
Which will win?
There is no question but that the
SCHEFTER element ought to win, ana
yet there is hardly possibility that
they can win.
The opposition say that SCHEFFER's S
nomination would mean a change or
base from old-time Republican princl-
ples to modern Democratic ideas. Sup
pose it does? Wouldn't that be polite
stroke on the part of Minnesota Repub-
Iicans? Suppose that tO-morrow's con-
vention shall, as it probably will, in
dOrse the Chicago platform, with its
high tariff and free whisky planks-wlll
that suit the people of Minnesota? If
the convention antag0niZes the Demo-
cratic platform it will have to autago-
nize the Australian system of voting,
and thus deprive the laboring man OF
his best chance to secure an honest and
independent ballot.
The Democratic doctrines favOIing
the control of corporations by just legis-
lation, of taking the appointment of
railway and warehouse commissioners
out of the hands of the railroad mag
mates and the wheat ring. of reducing
taxation to strictly revenue basis-all
these and many other reforms that are
demanded by the people of Minnesota
will have to be antagonized by the Re-
publican party if it pursues the policy
of adhering to old-time Republican
principles.
But that is just what to-mOrrOw's con-
vention will do. 1t will nominate a
ticket which will emphasize its adher-
eEce to the principle of tariff robbery
and monopoly domination. Mark the
prediction.

THESE advocates of protection are all
at once seized with wonderful solicItude
for the laboring man of the country, and
they want high protective tariff, not to
benefit the capitalist, not to beneht the
mOnOpOliSt, not to benefit the manu-
facturer, according to their statement,
but to benefit the labOring man. He is
the man they seek to protect. And how
are they going to protect him? Why,
they say that high protective tariff will
better his condition, give him more
wages-higher wages. would like to
know how that can be. / would like to
know how taxing labOring man on
everything from the crown of his head
to the sole of his feet is going TO enrich
him. Laughter and applause.l Yet
this is exactly what this tariff
tax does. 1t taxes him on the
hat that he wears; it taxes him on
his shirt, Oh his neektie, on his under
clothes, on his coat, on his vest, on his
breeches, on his stockings, on his boots,
on everything. [Renewed cheering.
1t raises the price and taxes him until
the poor man can hardly make enough
mOney,if he gets a few cents more wages
in a day-it taxes him until he can
hardly make enough money to support
himself and his little family, if he has
one. And Yet they say that this is for
the benefit of the labOring man. My
friends, that is very bald-faced state
ment if there ever was one in the world.

bargain hasn't been carried through
to-day. As the consequence pending
the demands of Nlr. Blaine none of Mr.
Blaine's personal friends, such as Car
negie, Jones, Phelps and Eikins, have
put up any money. From all accounts,
however, in ORDER to appease Elkins
as far as possible the RepHb-
llean national committee has
agreed to allow him to manage
the West Virginia affairs and to supply
him with the funds which he thought
necessary to carry that state, but EIkins
put his foot into 1t as he did in 1854.
His game was known to the Democratic
national committee three weeks ago,
and his movements have been
watched with a great deal of care.
From all accounts tonight it is
safe to say that his little
game has been publicly cheekmated.
Senator Quay, chairman of the Repub-
hcan national committee, was staying
to-day at the Oriental hotel, Coney
Island. When asked regarding the ex-
posure of Elkins' methods in West Vir-
giBia, he refused to make any definite
answer. Senator Platt, when inquired
OF, refused also to make any definite re-
ply. He fmtimated, however, that he
wasn't surprised that Elkins had been
