ent topics coming under consideration.
He is a scholar, and not only a theoretic-
al one, he is a soldier, and one who
talks from experience to the many COM
rades that meet him.
Such interviews, deprived of all
conyentionality, serve the cause of the
republican party more than all the eff
forts of the orators in the field. People
can not but help to acknowledge the
superiority Of Harrison's craftsmanship
and statesmanlike bearing over that Of
his opponent, and assure themselves
therefore before hand of what quality
their favored candidate boasts.
Most shamefully has the Globe acted
toward John Lind and his friends. Its
course against that honorable gentle
man stands unparalleled in the history
Of Minnesota's journalism, and it is a
disgrace to the fair name enjoyed by
the latter, thai such a mean, contempt
ible sheet as the Globe is permitted to
come to light at the states capitol.
The paper pursues this cowardly course
ever since it was forced to retract a
defamatory statement made against the
honorable legislator in regard to the
Tracy Landoffice at the time of his first
candidacy, and it resorts to such ig-
noble tactics because it can under no
conditions prove John Lind guilty of
having acted against the interests of his
constituents.
At last, after weeks of exhaustive and
tiresome debate. the connection brewed
by Mills and his southern associates,
has been voted on by the House.
1t has been passed by a majority of
only thirteen, which is indeed surpris-
ing, as the legislators fully recognized
that the bill could never become law.

consideration tarif:-bill of its own crea-
ton, which will assuredly prove more
acceptable and just than the sectional
proposition in favor of a democratic
south.
1t would therefore have done no harm
whatever had all of the democrats voted
for it they would thereby HAYES hown
their respects for zone of their kind. :"
Estimates, based on figures sent in
from nearly all the counties of tie state,
put the Prohibition vote on Governor
next November in this state at 14,60O
with perhaps $4,000 for Fisk. This
would be a gain Of 5000 over the vote
in 1886. The gain comes mostly from
the Scandinavian vote. On the other
hand many former Prohibitionists are
so well pleased with the workings of
high license and with Harrison as a
man that they will vote the Republican
ticket this fall. The vote in the various
congressional districts is estimated thus:
First 2,565, Second 2,S1o, Third 1885,
Fourth 1850, Fifth 1896.
Mr.. James 81. Wade of Cleveland,
the partner of Senator Payne of Ohio
and hitherto a prominent Democrat, has
announced his determination to support
the Republican ticket. He says the

| The campaign in Minnesota will
practically open on August 1st, which
gives ample time for the completion Of
plans and necessary routine work till
the session Of the Republican conven.
ton in September. The basis Of repre-,
sentatien for this convention will be
one delegate at large for each county
and one for every 500 votes or major
fraction thereof, computed from the
average vote for state officers cast il
1886.
i Minnesota Democrats are wild oYel
the fact that Knute Nelson supported
their tariff bill. Nelson's vote simply
proves that he is in favor Of reduction
OF the tariff, and that he would NJ
doubt advocate a similar course when
ever occasion offered. He is too mucl
OF an independent republican to cour
democratic favor, and the jubilant ex
pressions of that party demonstrate
clearly how eagerly they would vel
come his support for their doctrines.
