GRUBB'S COMING LETTER.

The Republican State Committee Devils
ing Phrases to Dodge the Issues.
TheExecutive Committee of oftheRepubli
can State Committee met yesterday at
their rooms at the Fuller building 1t
was very tame meeting, and there ap-
peared to be an absolute absence of the
enthusiasm the Republican press in the
State are trying to work up.
There were present General E. Burd
Grubb, Garrett A. Hobart, chairman;
State Treasurer John J. Toffey, State
Comptroller Anderson. Judge j. Frank
Fort, Richard r. Reading, James E.
Young and David Baird. The committee
devoted the day to naming places and
dates for General Grubb and others to
speak until election day and to discussing
that long looked for letter of acceptance
from the candidate for Governor. The
letter, it was said, would be ready early
next week, perhaps Monday. 1t will fill
three-quarters of column of THE JERSEY
CITY News and will dodge the ballot re-
form and the temperance questions.

lated Disastrously.

A telegram announcing the suicide of
Robert H. Payne, who shot himself at
Taylor's Hotel, in this city, on Wednes-
day night, reached his friends in st.
Louis yesterday. He was a partner OF the
law firm of Ford & Payne. His friends
attribute the act to distress arising from
financial complications. He was one OF
the heirs of an estate worth between
$500, 900 and 5000, ,OOO With an uncle he
organized the Payne Real Estate Com
pany about year ago, having purchased
from the other heirs nearly all their share
in the estate. His father-in-law gave it
out that Payne had recently invested
heavily in real estate and probably got
over his head in debt. He declared there
was nothing sensational about the matter.
He is said to have been u brilliant young
lawyer, studious and thoughtful, and his
habits were unexceptionable. He was
thirty-three years old and unmarried.

TO IMPROVE MINNEToNKA.
The County Commissioners Vote
$4,000 for That Purpose.

The County Commissioners Vote
$13, 900 for That Purpose.
The county commissioners of Henne-
pin and Dakota counties met in joint
session yesterday to consider the loca-
ton of the Minnesota river bridge.
There were a number of property own
ers who hold land in the vicinity of the
proposed bridge. present; also a num-
Der of Minneapolis gentlemen who are
interested in the improvement of Lake
Minnetonka. The Minnetenka queS-
ton was first taken under considera-
ton. A. c. Hangar, George A. Brack-
EFT, George A.Camp, ReV.M .Falk Gjert-
sen. made remarks advocating the adyis-
abilityof cuttinga channel through the
neck of land dividing Lake Crystal from
the west arm of Lake Mime tOnka. Such
a channel, they thought, would secure
a steady flow of water where the lake is
now Stagnant. 1t seems that resolu-
ton was passed by the board two years
ago to have this channel made, but for
some reason the work was never done.
The board decided to levy $4,000 as
SeSSments for lake Improvement, if 1t
was legal, and submitted that question
to the county attorney. 1t took a con-
siderable of balloting and no end of dis
cussion to reach conclusion in regard
to the Minnesota bridge question. P
M. Dahl, county surveyor, submitted a
plat as surveyed by c. NJ. Thorpe. 1t
was proposed in this to locate the bridge
at the quarter section line point on the
river, near Cedar avenue. Three bal
lots were taken on this, but the result
of each one was five for and five against,

Finally the original question was
amended so as to place the site of the
bridge at point 100 feet one side or the
other of Mr.. Dahl's proposed location,

AHISTORICAL RELIC.

The approaching Baltimore festival
has given rise to controversy concern
ing the disposition made of that star
spangled banner which foated over
Fort McHenry during the lombard
ment, and which inspired FRANCIS
SCOTT KEY to write his immortal poem.
There is a flag in the possession of EBEN
APPLETON, of New York, which is
claimed to be the identical banner
which did such patriotic service on that
occasion. Mr.. APPLEToN's grandfather
was an officer on duty at Fort McHenry
Oh the occasion of its bombardment,
and there is tradition that he took the
historic flag down and carried it home
with him, where it has been preserved
as a precious heirloom by his descend
ants. An aged lady now living in
Baltimore, and who is the widow of an
other old defender of the fort, Capt.
MCPHERSON. ayers that the APPLETON
relic is not the original flag that was
seen by the dawn's early light, but that
the original staI-spangled banner was
wrapped around her husbands body
and is buried with him in Greenmount
cemetery. Now that the controversy
has been raised, the truth should be as
certained, and if the APPLETON relic is
the same flag that inspired our national
hymn, it should pass into the possession
OF the government and be deposited in
the Smithsonian Institution along with
the other relics of historical value.

IOWA REPUBLICANS.

Whatever opinion may be had of the
discernment or honesty of the trainers
of the Republican platform in Iowa,
there is significance in the fact they
have been forced to assert that the pro-
tective @gis shall be spread over the
farm, if it is to float anywhere. But it
would have married the serenity of the
occasion if at that juncture some man
of unfortunate memory had recalled
the speech made before a similar body by
Senator ALLISON in 1870, in which he
showed that protection was rObbiDg the
farmers, and could not be adjusted to
benefit them as much as it hurt them.
The declaration would be found to have
lost none of its force or truth. 1t is be
coming rare that even very young Re-
publican SpeIlbinders insist that the
duties on certain prominent products of
the farm afford any benefit to the pro-
Queer. In the nature of the case it is
impossible to protect the farmer by
tariffs. There can be no importations
to their detriment. The people are
learning, as the Iowa pretense indicates.

THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.

There is. perhaps. some feature of the
Australian system of voting adopted in
Montana, to be tried at the election OIL
the first day of October, but the first
trial in the older and more populOus
states will be in Massachusetts, in No
vember. The committees of the parties
are already sending out circulars ex-
planning its practical operation. VOt-
ing booths, described as twenty-four
feet long and eighteen wide. are being
contracted for. The essential fea ture
is that every voter must make up. his
ticket in secluded apartment, where
none can influence him. The Democratic
circular explains that all the voter of
the party needs to do in voting the full
ticket is to make CT ss opposite every
name that has the word Democratic
after it. He can scratch and write
name between the lines if he is a
scratcher. If there are any doubts as
to what names shall have the word
Democrat attached, the question shall
be settled by three state officials who
are all Republicans. But there is pro-
vision for Independents setting their
names on the ticket. There will evil
IDENTITY be fair test of the system in
Massachusetts.

INHERITED VICES.

That the sins of the fathers may be
visited upon the children even to the
third and fourth generation is very well
illustrated in the case of ROBERT RAY
HAMILTON, the member of New York S
select Four Hundred whose recent es-
capade Is the sensation of continent.
Although it does not appear in the
school histories of the day, it is none
the less true that this young Mr.. HAM
ILToN's lllustrious ancestor, ALEXAN-
DER HAMILTON, once fell a victim to
the wiles of a bad woman, and made
about as ugly spectacle of himself as
the grandson has done. Perhaps the
most celebrated product of ALEXANDER
HAMILToN's pen was his Reynolds
pamphlet" in which ne made free
and full confession of his intrigues with
a certain Mrs. REYNOLDS, who seemed
to have held about as thight rein on
him as EVA STEELE does on ROBERT
RAY HAMILTON. The elder HAMILTON
was forced to publish this confession, at
the cost of bitter modification to HIM
self, to disprove the charge that he had
been specializing in government claims.
So 1t can be urged in behalf of the dis
graced New York swell that he came by
his vices honestly.
