THE TICKET.

The completion of the Democratic
state ticket yesterday was in all respects
happy sequence to the superb begin
ming made the day before. 1t is adj
mitted Oh all hands to be an exception
ally strong ticket-possibly the strong
est that has ever been nominated by any
party in this state. From top to bottom
there is not name on it but possesses
exceptional elements of strength. In
addition to the splendid personnel of
the ticket it enjoys the advantage Of a
judicious geographical distribution. as
well as being thoroughly representative
of the various nationalities embraced
within our population.
Now that the Democrats of Minnesota
have state ticket in the field which re-
fleets credit upon the party, they eau go
into the canvass with unlimited enthusi-
aSm, and with renewed zeal in the cause
of tariff reform. To say that there is an
absolute certainty of the election of the
ticket would be misleading, because the
majoritieS in the state have all been on
the other side for nearly thirty years.
But to say that the ticket deserves to
win, and that there is a strong proba-
bility it will win. is entirely within the
limit of truth. The prospect is so en-
couraging as to inspire every Democrat
in the state with something more than
mere hope of success. The inspiration
borders on faith, and so much so that
every voter who is devoted to the prin-
ciple of tariff reform, and who ardently
desires to secure an honest and economic
administration Of the state government,
will feel it his duty to take Off his coat
and work from now until the day of
election for the success of the entire
ticket.

Formal Opening of the Y. NJ. @. A.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 16.-The worlds
conference of the Young Mems Chris

regular topic of the convention, "What

thenceforth the scene was-one of undis-
turbed tranquility.
1t was an act of unselfish patriotism
on the part of Mr.. Buck to consent
to the use of his name in this con-
nection when his personal feelings were
all against it. He had stated to the
convention, with an air and manner
which left no doubt of the sincerity of
the statement, that ne desired no Office
under the sun, and would absolutely re-
fuse to accept any nomination. But
when he once understood that an ext
gency had arisen when only by the
services he could render lie party he
loved so well could be fully equipped
for the battle, like an old Roman sol
der he laid aside every personal con-
sheraton and stepped to the front. 1t
was an act of self-abnegation which
speaks louder in Mr.. Bucks honor than
any distinction that can come from po-
litical preferment.

Home Ruler as Secretary.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Aug. 16. - Henry Cunyl-
ghame has been appointed as secretary
for the Parnell commission. This is
popular move on the part of the COM
missioners, and is taken as an evidence
of their intended fair dealing, as Mr..
Cunylghame is in politics Liberal and
Home Ruler. He is clever barristcr,
and is well fitted for the position he
will fill, having served in similar
positions before. 1t is rumored that
Attorney General Webster has refused
to represent the Times befor the COM
mission, for what reason the rumor
does not state. The Times retains for
the action brought against them by Mr..
Parnell in Edinburgh, the Scotch Solic-
citOr General G. Murray and c. S. Dick
son, both of whom are well-Qualified ad-
vocates and will undoubtedly take adj
vantage of every technically which can
be brought forward to assist the Times
case. 1t is evident from the diminished
confidence shown by the Times in the
authenticity of the alleged letters of
Mr.. Parnell, that that paper is anxious
to avoid the consequences of libel suit
in Scotland and will avail itself of every
possible means to escape the action that
its legal advisors can devise.

in the heart. He was dead before the

found. Dilger was beating his mistress

cited. The murderer was Jailed.

STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

There were only two matters that the
GLOBE felt justified in impressing upon
the attention of the Democratic state
convention in advance of its assembling.
Nor did we attempt to do that IN any
dictatorial spirit, but merely in an adj
ylSory way, and urged these matters
upon the convention simply because we
believed that it would be in the line of
true Democratic policy to adopt our
suggestions. 1t is therefore, with more
than ordinary pleasure we record the
fact that IN both instances the assem-
bled representatives of the Democracy
of the state concurred in our opinion.
and did exactly the things we advised
to be done.
One of our suggestions was that the
regular Ramsey county delegation was
entitled to admission to the convention
by every law and usage known to DEM
Ocratic organization. By unanimous
vote the convention agreed with the
GLOBE on this proposition. And it was
with almost equal unanimity that the
convention adopted our second sugges-
ton, relating to the necessity for a
change in the plan of appointing the
state central committee. We advocated
this change upon the theory that the
nearer all power can be lodged in the
body of the people, the more it is in ac-
cord with the underlying principle of a
genuine Democracy. Any method of
party organization based upon the
principle of one-man power is bastard
Democracy. Such methods may legiti-
mately belong to an aristocratic organi-
cation like the Republican party, but
have no adaptability to the party of the
people.
We, therefore, deem it to be a most
wholesome change the convention made
in regard to the selection of the state
committee. The committee is now
what it should be-a representative
body. A great principle has been es-
tablished that ought to prevail in all
Democratic organization, for it relieves
the party of all danger of bossism. 1t
Is true it does not remove the POSSIBLE
ity Of fractional control in party man
agement, yet it does give minorities an
opportunity to be represented aud to
have voice in the control OF the organ
iZation.
1t was also an act of wisdom in the
convention TO allow the candidates to
maine certain members of the committee
who are to act as their personal staff.
This was done according to the practice
OF allowing an executive officer to name
his cabinet, or the commander of an
army to designate the members Of lis
military family. A candidate in the
field at the head OF great party in an
active campaign is, to certain extent
responsible for the manner i'll which the
canvass is conducted. 1t is, therefore
his personal right to select those person:
who are to be most intimately asso ciatet
with him during the campaign.

u Great Reformer Sees the Eclipse

Last night, says the Washington
Critic, when the moon was about one
third in the shadow, Maj. Stofer, of the
st. Louis Republic, joined a crowd of
gentlemen on Fourteenth street who
were watching it. He didn't notice the
drift of the talk, and in few minutes
he was talking politics and tariff. He
kept at it till the shadow was about two
thirds over, and then, in an exciting
moment, he arose and addressed the
crowd on free wool:
''Why. gentlemen" he said, 'tthis
country does not raise half the wool it
consumes, and the robber barons pro-
pose to aggrandize themselves by a
system of oppressive and tyrannous
taxation on the workingmen, who are
-
Then he noticed the shadow for the
first time, and stopped short.
Look at that d. moon," he said in
an awe-struck whisper, and dropped
into chair in state of cold collapse,
from which he did not recover until it
was explained to him that the tariff
was taking a rest and giving the eclipse
a chance, but the majors nervous sys-
tenn was shaky the rest of the evening.

point of Importance this Office
is only second to the New York office.
Branch offices are established through

receives the patronage of that nation
ality. No news of the disaster had been
received and the agent In charge stated
that several hundred passengers had
left On the Inflated ship from New
York. The Chicago Office had sold
about fifty tickets to people from
ALL PORTIONS OF THE NORTHWEST.
They were class who were making
trip back to their old homes to visit
friends and renew old associations.
Later in the evening, when the sad
news had become disseminated, the of
fee of the company was besieged by anX-
iOuS friends of some of those who sailed
by the Geiser, but as the telegram re-
ceived from the New York Office was
