FUTURE OF WOMEN.


Mr.. Gladstone Makes Some Eminently
Sensible Remarks.
In the course of brief address at a
school for girls, where Mrs. Gladstone
distributed the prizes, Mr.. Gladstone
said:
THAT future of society is of enormous
Importance to the world. think it is
not uninteresting to recall, if I may be
allowed to do it, little anecdote, when
some words were used to me more than
fifty years ago by an eminent physician
of that date-Dr. Farr, who lived in
Charterhouse square. went there on
account of some affection of the eye, but
he entered into general conversation
about the political prospects of the
country, and he said to me these words,
which, think, were full of sense, right
feeling and wisdom; You may depend
upon it, Mr.. Gladstone, it is not the
Wings who will save the country, nor
the Tories who will save the country: it
is the mothers of ENGLAND who will save
the country ~ ."..:}
II think that should be toevery young
wife the most cheering, the most con-
soling, and the most stimulating lesson
that could be learned. The value and
the Importance of this thought are such
that no new addition we can possibly
make to woman's vocation can ever
stand for moment in comparison with
their vital bearing upon the formation
of character in every one of us. And
what is the formation of character but
that for which God sent US into the
world? It is the sum and substance,
the beginning and the ending of the
whole matter, and it is the formation Of
character which is the pride and glory

rest of them, all doing little work and
each seeming to be in the perfection of
condition. LIE Premier, the handsome
brown colt of the Mnlkey stable and
winner of last years Derby, was the
last to appear, and from the character
of his morning work it was freely pre-
dicted that the fourth race OF the day
was his if he chose to run.
When the first train arrived from st.
Paul the crowd was small, and it was
feared that the people would not be
there. All such fears were diSpelled.
however, when the late trains pulled in
crowded to the rails with lovers of
horsefesh and racing. Soon the stand
began to fill, and before the first race
was called very respectable crowd had
gathered to witness it. Later trains
continued to pour out their loads on the
grounds, and the crowd was large enough
to satisfy any one. There was g0Odly
attendance at the club house of the Min
nesota Driving club, and again the
verandas and porches of the building
were made brilliant by the presence
thereon of brilliantly cOstumed lady
turf enthusiasts. The racing was as
good as could be wished for, the weather,
barring a. slight shower, all that
the most ardent deyotee of horse

KNUTE TO THE FRONT.
A Candidate Who Would Combine
All Factions.


All Factions.
+. M. Eddy, of Polk county, presented
che name of Knute Nelson. He urged
the delegates to bear in mind that the
vast majority of voters came from the
farms and workshops. They had no in
terest in politics, save that tried men
and true filled the offices and admins
affronted their party. Delegates from
the country realized the danger ahead,
and recognized the great responsibility
which had been placed upon them.
They could nominate a ticket that
would jeopardize or defeat the
Republican candidates to be
elected this fall--in state, district
and county. They could nominate
ticket that would put them on the de-
fensive from the outset. or ticket
which would place them in the ascend
ancy. They must have candidate
for the head of the ticket upon whom
every Republican could stand by, and.
what was vastly more important. would
unite upon in securing his triumphant
return. They must have man whose
record was stainless; against whom
charges of corruption had never been

sympathy with the great heart of the
common people-the laborers and pro-
ducers who form the life blood of the
Republican party of Minnesota. The
charge had been made that the friends
of Knute Nelson had appealed to ma
tional prejudice. ae denied this.
Knute Nelson had been baptized by
blood and fire an American citizen, and
his candidature. if nominated by that
convention, would be supported by all
classes of American citizens.
Loud applause greeted this latter
declaration of Mr.. Eddy, who improved
the occasion by retiring to his seat.
There were many secOnders OF Knute
| Nelson's nomination.
Rev. M. Falk Gjertsen, of Hennepin,
| did so with pride and pleasure. Nelson
was eminently the peoples candidate.
No name created more enthusiasm
among the citizens of the state. II they
wanted to give strength and stability to
! the ticket they should nominate Knute
| Nelson for governor. He incidentally
remarked that the plank on high license
| in the platform was huge mistake. 1t
would set the ProhibitioniSts strongly
against them, as in their opinion high
| license was failure.

could have been given it, which was
enthusiastically ratified at the poll. He
eulogiZed the business and financial ad-
ministration of Gov. Merriam. The
needs of all had been carefully watched.
He could say no more: he was bank
rupt in phrases to praise Gov. Merriam's
administration.
J. W. Mason. of Otter Tail. seconded
the nomination in speech thrice the
length of that of the nOminatOr. DE
extolled Merriam's business abilities,
his integrity of character and constancy
of purpose. He was presented here as
the candidate of the country, notWltii-
standing that one of the largest cities In
Minnesota was against him.
This sally at the Hennepin delegation
was greeted with laughter and ap-
plause.
Mr.. Mason-Before the Republicans
are asked to defer with the services OF
Gov. Merriam some better eXcdSe must
be given than that he lived in this city,
or that city, or that he has been de-
nounced by prominent criminal law
yer.a[Applause.l There was no man
more in touch with the people on the
great and economical questions OF the
hour than Gov. Merriam. He has been
tried in the legislature. where his voice
and vote was ever on the side of the
people and against the money power.
His election as governor did not change
him.
There were no other nominating
speeches for the governor, the two
made creating but Indifferent interest,
as the matter and style of the speakers
were of the most Indifferent character.

that am highly appreciative of this honor
YOU have conferred upon me. 1t is douply
appreciated by myself, because l regard II IN
some sense evidence upon your part that my
administration has met with the approval OF
the people.
Gov. Merriam thereupon launched
into the history of the Republican party,
and brought out what he termed the in
estimable benefits it had bestowed upon
the people. All fair-minded people
would say that it had met every obllga-
ton. and carried out every promise that
it had ever made. He trotted out the
land grants made to support the public
schools of this state. and enlarged upon
the mighty laws enacted by the Repub-
Iican legislators which had saved mill
ions of dollars to the producers and
shippers of the country. The Aus
traiian system of voting should be ex-
tended to the whole state. There was
scarcely a measure appertaining to safe
government that the Republicans had
not favored. AS in the past. so in the
future, they proposed to give the people
of this state an economic government.
They proposed to meet every problem
that would tend to the enhancement OF
the condition of the people.

PHEw, NOTE THIS.
The Merriamites Demand an Open
Ballot.

The Merriamites Demand an Open
Ballot.
With three candidates nominated the
convention was ready to take ballot.
Many delegates shouted for immediate
action. R. Dunn, of Princeton, jumped
UP and demanded an open ballot-''an
honest ballot and fair count" he put
it. After several conventions held in
st. Paul there had been lot Of dispute
and wrangllng. a lot of talk in the
newspapers about corruption. Why?
Because they had secret ballot. Now
he proposed that these charges should
be stopped; that every delegate should
openly inform the chairman of his dele
CATION the candidate he favorS, and that
the chairman should get up and an
nounce the vote to the convention. He
made a motion to that effect.
III. G. Kendall, of st. Louis, strongly
backed up this position of the Prince
ton editor. The citizens who-had sent
them there should know how they
voted. He declared the Republicans
were going to elect the governor by
4O.OOO-yes, $4,000 majority.
sentiments of those opposed to an open
ballot. Two years ago the Republican
convention decided In favor of the Sc
cret ballot, and he could not see why
they should now make change. 1t
suited Gov. Merriam at the last c0nven-
ton. Why not at this convention?
Mr.. Dunn retorted that the national
Republican convention had adopted the
open ballot. 1t stopped those abomina-
bic eafter-conventiOn lies.
b. P. Cheney, of Swift, proposed to
cast his own ballot, unless he took fit
and was prevented. He had been sent
there to do that and he protested against
the chairman OF the delegation doing it
for him.
j. j. Peterson, of Mobiles. supported
the motion.
DR.. g. Perkins, of Excelsior, explained
to the delegates that by all open vote
the ''ring men" were enabled to see
how their strength lay, and were better
able to ''cut and connive." They were
also enabled to get back at the man who
did not vote just as they wanted him to.
z Mr.. Wyman moved, as substitute,
+ that when each delegation was called
the members walk to the front of the
platform and deposit their ballots.
The roll call was ordered for the vote
on the amendment. The liveliest inter-
est was manifested when this was
under way, as the Merriam forces were
expected to vote solidly for an open
ballot The result was:

that perhaps never before frOnted it,
but they needed but that weapOn-that
most valuable and invulnerable of all
weapons and shleldS-truth. He an
imadiverted upon the statement which
appeared in Democratic paper OF the
state. which insinuated that when the
Republican party came into power IN
Minnesota there had been no special
legislation in favor of particular par
ties. The attorney general added:
The gentleman who penned that knew
that it was absolutely false. say to-day II
the Democrats want to break their record
and make one campaign from an historic al
standpoint for heaven sake give them a
chance, but insist that they shall commence
and stick to the truth.
Mr.. CIapp continued that the one great
debt that was saddled upon Minnesota
was received from the only Democratic
administration that this state ever had.
Having fired this brOadside into the
ranks of the Democrats. the delegates
and Republican spectators going almost
wild with delight, yelling and whooping
in indescribable manner, the attorney
general retired.
The committee on credentials signified
the report was ready for presentation.
1t was at once read by r. G. Russell,
of Hennepin county. Several minor
corrections were made. Senator Fin
seth, of Goodhue, moved its adoption,
which was promptly indorsed.
Chairman Roverud, of the committee
on permanent organization, reported
that the temporary organization be made
permanent.
A.E. Rice. of Kandiyohi. chairman.

This report was also Immediately in
dorsed. Gen. Cole, of the committee on
resolutions, was here detected in the
building by Chairman Rice, and a re-
quest was made for the reading Of the
report of that committee.

Wyman, on behalf of the Hennepln
delegation. Immediately and gracefully
accepted the defeat. He also moved
that the ballot be made formal one,
and that Gov. Merriam's nomination be
made unanimous.
i. F. Knappen. of Hennepin, also re-
marked that "Old Hennepin will pc
found shoulder to shoulder" with the
Republican party in the coming elec-
ton. He noticed that rain fell when the
poll was announced, which reminded
him of when Scott wrote: ''Blessed be
the dead that the rain rains on"
F. M. Eddy, of Polk county, seconded
Wyman's proposition.
Mr.. Merriam's nomination was put
through with whoop and a hurrah
! which shook the rafters of the OLD
market hall.
Messrs. Mason, of Otter Tail; Finseth,
of Goodhue, and Edmunds, OF Dodge,

didate of the Swedish people for the Of
fee of secretary of state-an office that
has long been in the hands. of this ma
tionality. and one which it is an advan-
tage for them TO have. 1t was not the
idea OF securing merely "Office" which
induced them to ask for this place. and
consequently it is unlikely that sop in
the nature of place at the extreme
tail end of a long ticket will please the
Swedish voters of the state. AS Dele
gate Peter Nelson, of Mobiles county,
expressed it. "the Swedes of
this state are not Republicans
for office. Besides Mr.. Holcombe. the
candidate for clerk of the supreme
court, can hardly be considered men,
ber of the fraternity.
From that strong Republican district,
the second, no less than three candi-
dates for the best places on the ticket
have been taken, viz: Lieutenant
governor, secretary Of state and
state treasurer, and all OF
them are to be found within radius OF
fifty miles of each other. The First dis
trict as we'll as the Third district get
nothing at all for the first time in
many years. Indeed. it may be stated
that it is probably the first time in
many years that Republican ticket
has been nominated without containing
representatives from each of the differ
ent congressional districts. In addition
to this the Fifth districts representa-
tives are all taken from the extreme
west end of the district, and thus
the large city of Duluth and the
North Mississippi valley is unrepre-
sented. Exactly similar state
of affairs exists in the Second district
The nominee for clerk of the supreme
court. in place of being well-qualified
and practlcing lawyer, is a mere poll
tician nominated as sop to nation
ality and in way that cannot help
insulting every Swedish voter in the
state as we'll as bring the blush of shame
to the cheek of every fair-minded Amer
lean citizen.
But, disguised as were many of the
delegates over the ticket, their dissatis-
| faction did not stop here. The plat
| form, whose silly evaSions and diShOn-
est declarations on the tariff question
must have occupied Gen. Gordon E.
Coles time for at least two weeks
past. has sickened not only tariff
reformers but also the protectionists
in the party. No one knows what it
means and the machine bosses were

evening that this was the intention OF
the men who made it. Beside the
work of Gordon e. Cole and his associ.

would enable them to buy votes in dele
cations under instructions for other can
didates. AS DR.. Perkins, of Excelsior,
remarked in the convention yesterday:
s'It made heap of difference whose OK
was gored."
The scheme of Merriam's managers
was to force Senator d. NJ. Clough, of
Hennepin, on the ticket for lieutenant
governor. 1t was well-worked up, and
prevented only by the determined atti-
tude of the entire Hennepin delegation
and the large number of counties that
had previously instructed their dele
gates to vote for Senator Ives. In spite
of the fact that Mr. Clough vigorously
denied being candidate, all the plans
were laid to give him second place on
the ticket and mis- name was withdrawn
only TO save him from being overwhelm-
ingly defeated.
Col. Hans Mattson was slaughtered
In the house of his supposed friends.
He had been assured ofa denomination,

their party was their only capital. and
it was really wonderful that 17S men, or
considerably more than one-third of the
convention, had the nerve to refuse to
obey the party lash, as welded by Oil
Inspector Sam Nichols, and vote to
change the method of balloting inaugu-
rated by Gov. Merriam himself, two
short years ago. The fact is that the
governors managers knew that with
a secret ballot the defeat of their
candidate was not only possible
but likely. They wanted to see how
every man voted and they accomplished
their purpose. Yesterday they had the
delegates under their thumbs by large
majority, and all that was necessary was
to hold them. Two years ago they were
In the minority, and wanted vote that
