Whatever may be the reason for this

taken note of the fact that neither Mr..
freaney nor his organ has attempted to
deny that on Wednesday after
noon Mr.. Freaney and Conrad w.
Miller. both prominent Republicans,
made grand tour of the Second ward
saloons distributing cards bearing the
names of Mr.. Freaney- ana Charley
Haas. 1t is really too bad that this
organ. which has for a month devoted
itself to denouncing the system of trad
ing in politics. should drop down at
this time and give passive consent to
this damnable crime.
For nearly a month the Dispatch
has been charging all manner of trades
to dltfere ut Democratic candidates." re-
marked prominent politician yester-
day. "but it always failed to make these
charges specific, and for the simple
reason that they existed only in the
imagination of their writer. None of

entire list of Democratic candidates are
working together for the whole ticket,
well knowing that it will be carried
through, as was the ticket last spring.
Another point, no systematic trades
can be carried out under the Australian
law, but the fact that a number of the
Republican candidates are trying to
make votes for themselves by pretend

shows which side is accustomed to do

1t is said that Register NJ. j. Bell is
out on the warpath and will ask Mr..
Freaney to explain why he goes out

pohent. The Republican county COM
mittee tried its hand on Conrad w. Mill
er but he refused to be whipped into
line by Chairman Lowenstein. AS has
been prophesied from time to time in
the GLOBE. there is very pretty fight
on i'll the Republican organization and
some one is very apt to get hurt.
The farmers of Minnesota are at last
thoroughly alive to the enormities of
the american system of protectien.',
as it IS called by its friends, and will
not IN the future be caught by its soph-
lstrieS. In the the evening Republi-
can organ yesterday, nearly three full
pages were devoted to the bill, and a
labored attempt was made TO show that
the merchants of the country were en-
gagged in the damnabe scheme of put
tug up prices for the purpose of rob-
bling the people and defeating the Re-
publican party. 1t is understood that
this matter will be distributed to the
publishers of the various county Repub-
lican organs through the state i'm the form
OF supplements. AS an example of the
editorial comment which preeedes the
eight Or more columns of selections for
this measure the following is commend
ed to the Intelligent voters of Mime
sofa. as one of the most absurd attempts
to impose on them ever tried by a po-
litical machine:
1t is evidently a part of concerted scheme
about this time to represent all manner of
commodities as having been enhanced in
price as the result of the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill. This is due in some measure to
the operations of the free trade politicians,
but in greater measure TO the scnemes of GER
tain dealers wholesale and retail, who regard
the present as an excellent opportunity for
the advancement of their prices upon pre-
text,the falsity of which the average consunl-
er has not an opportunity to test. The Nc
hinley bill was passed not as a sectional
measure. 1t was passed In the interest of
the nation and its operation will be felt
throughout the entire length and breadth of
the country. There are localities. no doubt.
which will be materially and immediately
served by the action of the bill, and there are
Others. which, tor the time being, will con
slider themselves as being Disseminated
against. But for the entire country, and for
the welfare of all the citizens from Maine to
California and from the lakes to the gulf, the
service rendered to the national prosperity
by the adoption of the Mckinley bill will be
extensive and enduring.
