THE TICKET.

The representatives of Minnesota De-
mocracy felt proud of their candidate
for governor when he stood before them
making his speech of acceptance. He
talked like statesman. Not one low
word of the demagogue escaped his lips.
norswas there any of. the clap-trap of
the politician in all of his utterances.
He was the great jurist, the profound
thinker, the man familiar with state
affairs, who duly appreciated the dig
nifty and solemnity of the occasion, and
in accepting the trust committed to his
hands did it with full realization of
the responsibilities it imposed.
And is he not soldier fit to stand
with CESAR? for was he not the trusted
lieutenant who stood with GROVER
CLEVELAND in the memorable battle
for tariff reform in the Fiftieth con-
gress? Judge WILSON'S fame is ma
tional.. During his one term in congress
he made a record and reputation which
might we'll be the envy of statesmen
who had served half a lifetime in the
national councils. From the day he en-
tered congress until the last day OF his
term he was among the foremost figures
of that gallant band who battled for the
rights of the people in their effort to
secure reduction OF the war taxes and
a relief from the burdens of an unjust
taxation.
Judge WILSON'S national record was
has always been the champion of popu-
lar rights ard the consistent foe of job
berry and corruption, in whatever form
it manifested itself. His services in the
state legislature were all in that line.
He is man of pronounced convictions,
and is always loyal to his convictions.
He never lodges an issue, and is never
afraid to express whatever opinions he
may have on any subject. He is man
that you can always tell where to find
him.
1t is no wonder that the representa-
3 tiveS of our Minnesota Democracy-who,
10y the way, constituted the finest pOlit-
lcal asSemblage that ever convened in
this state-were elated with pride when
their candidate stood before them. And
when he goes outlnto the state the rank
and file will gather to his standard in
the consciousness that they are enlist
ing under the banner of leader who
has the ability to uphold the flag he
carries, and that it is more honorable to
suffer defeat under such leader and in
such cause as he champions than it is to
win victory IN questionable cause and
under leader of less ability.
Fortunately, Judge WILSON is flanked
by a most excellent staff. The re-
mainder of the ticket is worthy of its
head. The nomination of Mr.. PAIL for
lieutenant governor was most judi
cious stroke. He is gentleman of
decided ability, fine representative of
the German element, and telling CAM
paigner. Proper recognition was given
to the Scandinavians by the nomination
for secretary of state of Mr.. LINDHoLM,
who is cultured man, an honest man,
and the lifelong friend of Col. HANS
MATTsoN, whose bad treatment by the
Republican convention is still fresh in
the memory of our Swede population.
The candidates for treasurer, auditor
and clerk of the supreme court are all
fitted for the offices for which they are
named, and are proper representatives
of the sections from which they hail,
and of the cosmopolite population of
this state.
Ali in all, the ticket is superb one.
1t is on high plane, and will command
the respect and confidence of all classes.
1t is just such a ticket as ought to be
put forth by the Democracy ON the eve
of the great tariff reform revolution
that is about to sweep over the country.
1t merits success. whether it achieves ii
or not, and we have confidence enough
