THE reports regarding Mr.. Blaine's
d" ill-health originate mostly with
democratic and so-caled Independent
papers-the indianapolis Sentinel, Pitts
burg Chronicle Telegraph, etc. 1t may
be necessary for Mr.. Blaine to relieve
public anxiety in this country by stating
in an open letter whether he is sick or
not. The Tribune says that members
of Mr.. Blaine's family in New York
are in frequent correspondence with
him; and his sons, Walker Blaine and
James G.. Blaine, Jr., have both re-
ceived letters which stated that his
party were all well and enjoying their
European trip to the fullest extent.
The last letter from Europe was re-
ceived by Miss Blaine and was of such
import as to warrant a complete denial
to any rumor of her fathers ill-health.

Rhode Island.

The republicans of Rhode Island
achieved great victory last week over
the democratic party, mugwumps,
free-rum and the Providence Journal.
The republican candidate for governor
has | 1884 majority, the rest of the state
ticket is elected and the legislature is
republican by a large majority, which
secures the election of republican
United States senator next June. The
Providence journal, in the guise of a
republican paper, served the interests
of the democracy to the best of its
ability in its attempt to defeat the re-
publican candidate for lieutenant
governor, Enos Lapham. 1t was shown
that Lapham was an upright citizen
and there was nothing to be said against
him except that he is wealthy manu-
facturer who had risen from humble
circumstances. The Journal is con-
Quoted by owners with free-trade prin-
ciples and one of them is a delegate to
the democratic national convention.
1t is hardly creditable to the republi-
cans of Rhode Island that so many of
them should allow this treacherous
mugwump newspaper to control the
affairs of their party, as it has done for
year past. The recent election shows
that the larger number of republicans
who were led astray by the journal a
year ago have emancipated themselves
from its pernicious influence. They
have discovered that its declared OPP
position to republican candidates on

BOulanger.

General Boulanger would appear to
be the "coming man " in France.
When at the head of the war office he
was the idol of the provincial people,
and though the government has since
sought in every way to humiliate him
and destroy his influence, he still has
great body of enthusiastic admirers.
His INSTRUMENTATION in visiting Paris
without leave was made mere preteXt
to get rid of him. The ffty-fve thou
sand votes cast for him in the elections
for deputies in six departments widely
scattered showed that the act of the
government in retiring him from the
army had given him the prestige of a
martyr and actually increased his popu-
larity. Having announced himself as
a candidate for the chamber of deputies,
he declared that the needed remedy for
the present unsatisfactory political con-
dition in France was the dissolution of
the assembly and the revision of the
constitution. A motion, sustained by
his partisans, in the assembly for ur-
gency in the revision of the constitu-
ton was carried and the ministry at
once resigned. A new ministry has
been formed, but Boulanger has de-
clared decisively that no ministry
formed now can last long, and if he is
successful in. the election which occurs
on April 10 there will probably be
another ministerial crisis unless the
government comedies his demands for
a dissolution of the chamber of deputies
and revision of the constitution. On
the whole, the situation is an interest
ing one, and it is not unlikely to end in
Boulanger's restoration to place and
power. The present government favors
peace policy, while Boulanger repre-
sents the war feeling which is dominant
in the nation. For this reason alone
the result of the coming election may
be anticipated as favorable to his ag-
gressive national policy.

"public and moral grounds -" and for
the ultimate good of the party" was a
hypocritical pretense, and that it has
had no other objects in view than to
help the free-trade democracy and
crafty a malignant spite. The state
has now swerved back to the true lines
of republicanism, and it will be found
in the republican column next fall.
The democrats and their mugwump
allies can not conceal their grievous
disappointment with the result, for
they had expected a democratic ma
iority of about one thousand, and even
hoped to secure small majority in the
legislature; but Clevelandism is at a
discount in Rhode Island this year.

ANoKA, Minn., Aug. 11.-Anola
county Democrats in convention as
sembled to-day, departed somewhat
from their usual quiet manner of pro-
cedure, and split in two, making a
double header, amidst considerable
tumult, caused by factional feeling of
Ames sympathizers VS.. ''Me and Mike"
adherantS reaching climax. The feel
ing has been growing some little time.
and the Wilson followers were mostly
outsiders, and as the city faction cap
tured majority of the delegates at the
caucuSeS, they expected to make clean
willed it otherwise. The convention
was called to order at the court house
at II o'clock this afternoon by L. NJ.
Ryan, chairman of the county commit
tee. A motion was made to have the
delegates vote in q body, which drew
out emphatic objection. Delegates
from the towns of Blaine and Grow
also objected to the Ames men, claiming
they were not legally elected. A mo-
ton was made at this time for Michael
Tigue to act as temporary chairman.
This also was opposed, and, some con-
fusion prevailing, the Ames crowd
agreed to hold a convention
ON THEIR OWN HOOK,
and quietly withdrew to the grand jury
room down stairs. When the regular
routine business of each convention was
transacted, the Wilson followers up
stairs elected Michael Tigue chairman,
John p. COlling secretary; delegates to
the state convention. Thomas Coleman
chairman, George W. Morrill, and Will
A. Greenwald. They go uninstructed.
Down stairs the loyal adherentS of the
genial doctor were performing a pleas
ant duty. Weston HammonS was
placed in the chair, and H. Engel chosen
as secretary. Committees were appoint
ed Oh credentials and resolutions, and
soon made reports, which were adopted.
The resolutions highly complimented

against monopolies and bossism, not

to the state convention were named as
follows: Weston Hammos, F. A. Ed

Wilson men tried to do the square thing,
and the AmeS men excuse their conduct
through the claimed illegalitieS OF the
other side. They both appear equally
confident and determined, but it is to
be hoped some compromise will be eff

ing the Offensive Partisan
for the Democracy.

The most carefully cOrcOcted political
scheme Of the year. and which has been
uncovered. is that which was exposed
yesterday afternoon at an informal con-
ference of Republicans held at the Mer
chants hotel.
1t is plan so carefully devised that
nothing but publicity can destroy its
purpose.
During all Of the time that the name
OF Millionaire Merriam has been before
the country rs a candidate for governor
it has been known that the willy Will
lam has not cared to 90 into the con-
vention with the prospects of being de-
feated.
He not only had his personal feelings
and ambitions 10 protect in this respect,
but the interests as we'll of a powerful
railroad combination which favors him.
This railroad combination has had
only one object in supporting him, and
that to make secure the appointment of
a railroad commission favorable to
themselves, and that through Merriam's
influence as cX-speaker of the house and
governor Gf he is electeD to kill in the
lobby OF committee next winter all radi-
cal railroad legislation.
Certain Minnesota railroads particu-
larly the Manitoba, it is said) have rea-
son to fear that the Legislature of next
winter VIII attack the railroads as they
never have before.
To omeet this attack they have not
only had to secure a candidate for gov
arnOr who might succeed, but to enlist
Republican papers in their cause, and

TOUGH CHESTNUTS
Sprung by Kelly and Doran to
Conceal Themselves

Conceal Themselves.
The state central Democratic COM
mittee, or that portion of it represented
by Messrs. Doran and Kelly and Secre-
tary Miller, are very vigorously sending
out RoorhacfS calculated. to cause con-
fusion in the coming state convention.
The latest is to the effect that Edmund
Rice is to be sprung on the convention
as candidate for governor by DIR.
AmeS and the regular Ramsey county
delegation.
No one ever heard OF this cock-and-
bull story until 1t was mentioned III the
state central committee headquarters.
1t was then seized upon by reporter
in the employ of Messrs. Doran and
Kelly and published.
1t has been known fol a month that
Mr.. Rice would not accept the nOmina-
ton for governor under any circum-
stances, and to nominate him would
only be doing a silly thing. Since this
knowledge has been certain his name
has not come up as candidate for gov
ernor and it will not be presented.
The object of Kelly and Doran is to
make it appear that there is a fight on
Eugene Wilson. and to divert attention
from their own deeds.
The only trouble with the Democratic
party at the present time. so far as any
one can discover, is Kelly and Doran
and their desire to capture the state
committee and run the whole campaign
deal. If they were out of the way the
coming convention would be the most
united ever held in the state. The issue
before the party is as to whether Kelly
and Doran (who never won a victory
shall lead, or whether federal patronage
shall be set aside with them and a new
deal be had for victory this year.
When the term ''old FOSSIL" as ap-
piled to Edmund Rice. is heard in the
rooms of the Democratic state central
committee, it is about time to inquire
what Messrs. Kelly and Doran are going
to do with the rest Of the party.

MASON CITY, To-, Aug. 1.-Another
day in the hearing of the Brown poison
ing case has worn away. No stenog-
rapher being employed, progress is rem
dered very slow and tedious. The i'm
portant witnesses examined were Mrs.
Ackerman and Mrs. Bessie Lake, of
Longworthy, and j. d. Graves, city
marshal of Monticello. Mrs. Brown
was secreted at fhe house of the former
ten days, this time fearing arrest and
hiding at the approach OF strangers.
Mrs. Lake testified that Mrs. Brown
told her that she was going to put poi
son into Hiram and end his miserable
life. The letters that passed between
the two, procured by the de-
tective, were introduced as evil
dence, Mrs. Lake testifying that they
were exactly as she received them from
Mrs. Brown. The testimony, as given
by Marshal Graves, was objected to on
the grounds that it was consultation
between attorney and client and was Sc
cured by stealth. 1t was, however, adj
mitted. The consultation was with At
torney Welch, of Monticello. After re-
hearSing the crime he said to her:
Every indication points to you as be-
ing the guilty party" Her reply was:

can't prove it," Mrs. Brown has shown

CAN THIS BE TRUE :?

damn the interstate commerce law and
ridicule all the propositions of the Farm
erS' alliance looking to more stringent
railroad legislation.
These railroads, therefore, after Mer-
riam had announced his candidacy, not
only coddled McGill, who had been q
willing instrument of theirs, but gave
Merriam encouragement, and finally
champiOned his cauSe-sO much so that
their land site, claim and corporation
agents or attorneys are now actively
booming him.
But Merriam and the shrewdest of
his friends have never felt quite con-
fident of his nomination. His horn
has been blown for all that it was
worth, but back OF it has been a host of
anxious schemerS, who haven't seen
the sheep come out of the corn as they
wanted them 10.
1t would not do for the railroads to
get left with Merriam dead on their
hands, and hence they have taken a
new step, by which in any event they
will come out on top in the Republican
state convention.
Their plan as outlined is this: A
careful canvass of the state has been
begun. Paid men have been sent into
every important locality to sound the
Merriam boom. These men also attend
county conventions and guage public
sentiment there.
They make up close and accurate
estimates of the McGill-Merriam-Sch
fer feeling in each locality, and forward
them to ST. Paul. On these estimates
the basis Of Merriam'S strength is COM
puted, and the growth to which it may
attain. so close is the county being
secured that on the night of Sept the
Merriam managers will know within
six votes OF all that he will receive the
next day on the first ballot.
If this calculation shows that Scheffer
has the lead. AlcGill second place and
Merriam third, then deadlock is to be
precipitated in the hopes that when the
breakup comes Merriam will win.
If the signs are that he cannot profit
by the breakup, then his strength is to
go to McGill as far as it can be deliY-
cred.
If this break does not result in Nc
Gill's nomination, then the grace
stroke is to be given.
Merriam's name is to be withdrawn
and in favor of 4. Z. Rice.
The springing of Rice's name is ex-
pected to not only break the McGill
strength, but to divide the Scheffer
forces and ensure his nomination.
That is the scheme carefully Matched
and leaked out yesterday by a sore
head who loved Merriam once, but now
loves no more.
In the event of Merriam having the
most votes in the convention on the first
ballot this will not be done. When the
struggle under these conditions has be.
come a deadlock McGill is to nominate
him.
But it is not anticipated that Merriam
will lead in the convention. Hence, be
hind his contest will be the name of A
E. Rice, and the determination 10 pre-
sent it just as soon as it becomes evident

When the Republican papers get
tired of lieing about one another they
turn their Ananias machines upon the

their regulations. The lie started yes
terday by the Pioneer Press to the effect
that United States Marshal Campbell
had been doing political work at Brain
erd was gratuiouS insult to a man
who has studiously avoided political
work since his assumption of political

emphatically the entire charge as sent

can be told about it. but to foist lies
upon them is poor political policy.
