own frequent Misrepresentation made
for partisan effect. he has fallen into
a pit of his own digging. or, Haman-like,
finds himself suspended OH the gallows
that he had constructed to hang Dem
ocra!s on for refusing to bow in the
presence of pampered monopoly.
1t is sad plight that Mr.. BLAINE is
in, but he has nobody to blame for it
but himself. If he had been as honest
as he is smart, JAMES G.. BLAINE would
be recognized as the greatest statesman
of the times. But, lacking as he is in
the first principle of greatness, he is
only melancholy monument OF lost
opportunities.
OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN.
The choosing of a representative in
congress is always matter of serious
Importance. In addition to the great
national interests that have to be at
tended 10, each district has important
local interests to be subseIved. And
there is 40 district in the United States
whose local interests are so great as the
Fourth. Minnesota district. We have
the most populous district, one of the
wealthiest, and possibly the greatest
variety of interests of any district in the
United States.
Hence it becomes a matter of unusual
Importance to us that we have repre-
sentative capable of diseharging the
great trust to be eonfided TO him.
There are two Candidates before the
people of this district, one of whom
must be elected, and we ask the
thoughtful consideration of the voters
of this district to thief question. who
shall 1t be-SNIDER or CASTLE? OF
these two gentlemen personally we
shall have but little to say. The in
dIviduality of the candidate is over
Swallowed by the principle at stake.
Mr.. SNYDER stands before the people
as the representative of the tariff
barons, in whose cause he has been
faithful servant. Senator CASTLE is the
representative of the industrial masses
who are engaged in desperate struggle
with the privileged classes for the
mastery in government.
The question for the voters of the
Fourth district to decide is which of the
two candidates is fittest to represent
them in the Fifty-second American con-
gresS.
Capt. SNIDER is nan of one talent;
yet he has used that talent industriOuSly
in behalf of the tariffiteS. Elected to
congress two years ago by Minnesota
constituency, he has been the unwaver-
ing champion of New England inter-
ests. MATT QUAY himself has not
been more faithful to the cause of the
| Pennsylvania coal barOnS and iron
| kings than SAM SNYDER has been. He
| brought his friend, Speaker REED, out
here to certify to his industry as con-
| gresham. and yet the Congressional
| Record does not show single instance
| where Mr.. SNIDER'S votes and influence
were cast in favor of Minnesota's inter-
estS. His industry was all i'll opposition
to the cause of the people whom he rep
resented. If one-ttnth OF the energy he
expended in securing the passage
| through the house of the force bill and
the MCKINLEY bill had been eXerted in
behalf of our local interests, we would
| have had oar new custom house build
| i under way.
| Senator CASTLE has no record in con-
| gre %, ut lie is going 10 have one. And
Ii will be very different sort from the
one SNM SNIDER has made. But Sena-
tor CASTLE has a legislative record at
home, and there is no faint of iobbery
OF corruption on it. He is as clean a
man as resides within the limits of the
| Fourth district. More than that. he is
man of brilliant parts. He would
make representative for the Fourth
district to be proud of, for in ability and
in the higher knowledge of statecraft he
is the peer of any man who sits to-day
in the American congre IS. When MIR.
SNYDER made that dismal failure of a
speech in the Lift theater Tuesday
! night, his Republican audience hung
their heads in shame. But when Senator
CASTLE made his mastery speech in
the Newmarket the next night, there
was not Democrat in st. Paul but
felt proud of their young HECTOR of
Democracy.
But 1t is not to the men so much
as to the cause they represent
we invite public attention. A vote fol-
SNYDER means an Endorsement of the
MCKINLEY bill. A vote for SNIDEF
means an approval of Tom REED S auto
cratic assumption. A vote for SNIDEF
means the employment of the bayonel
to carry federal elections.
On the other hand, vote for CASTLE
means reputation of the principle
embodied in the MCKINLEY law thai
one industry has the right to f,tten al
the expense of other industries. A vote
for CASTLE means repeal of the wal
taxes, and corresponding lessening OF
the cost of articles necessary for the
comfort of the industrial masses. A vote
for CASTLE is a vote for economic gov
ernment and fair trade between this
country and the other countries o.
earth. A vote for CASTLE means equa
| justice for the masses anu special privi
ieges for none. And vote for CASTLE
means that the people of this great dis
trict should have representative Wht
is able and willing to take care of oul
local interests.
The election of congressman is al
, important matter, SO important tina
every voter should give it intelligen
and conscientious consideration. And
every man votes according to his con
science and intelligence, JAMES n
CASTLE will be elected overwhelmingly
