MAYOR SMITH DECLINES.

Mayor SMITHS traits of modesty and
magnanimity are proverbial. Therefore
it is not matter of great surprise that,
after taking the Sabbath day to think
over the honor conferred upon him by
the Ramsey county delegation Saturday
night, he should voluntarily step aside
and permit the gubernatorial nomlna-
ton, which seemed to be within his
reach, to pass to another. Those who
know Mr.. SMITH will not question his
conduct or his motives in this matter.
He has never manifested any ambition
for political distinction, nor is this the
first evidence of his magnanimity in
transferring to others the honors of
public station which he might have en-
Ioyed if lie had been disposed to accept
them.
Mayor SMITHS withdrawal clears the
atmosphere and simplifies the situation
In the convention to-day. Its ultimate
effect will be to plant harmony where
otherwise bitterness and discord might
have been engendered; and to vaIua-
BILE extent will contribute to the chances
for Democratic success.

CHAMB ERLAIN, S. D., Sept. 9.-The
state board of equalization, composed
of Gov. Mellette, Auditor l.. c. Taylor
and Secretary Ringsrud, have raised
the total assessment of the state over
2S,000,O00. and Increased the already
burdensome taxes. A general howl of
indignation is going up all over the
state at the action of this partisan
board in holding back this action until
after this trio of ringsters had secured
denomination at the hands of their
party, and evidently with the foolish
notion that the taxpayers of the state
would not find out their doings until
after the November election. There
are grave doubts of the powers of the
board to raise the assessment. and there
will be test case made as soon as pos
sible, but this will not be decided in
time to help very materially. The fact
that the board undertook to raise
the assessment and increase the
revenues in order to pay off
some of the eXtravagant expenditures
of the last legislature, in which the gov
ernOr acQuieSced, is enough to turn
every honest laboring mans vote from
such party to the Democratic party,
which has ever stood up for lower taxes
and an honest administration of the
government. 1t is high time that the
voters of this state teach these insolent
officeholders that the big Republican
majority can no longer be depended on
to put Into Office men who spend the
peoples money in reckless extrava-
gance, and tax the producers to death to
pay the bills. Some counties Jared bet
ter than others, as they had already put
their lands to the limit of their value.
Even after raising the values, as above
stated, all over the state, there will be
deficiency of nearly S3OO,O and this
same gang ask the people to vote to
raise the constitutional limit of in
debtedness from 100000 to $500, 900, so
they can squander all the more.

Fun in the Fifth.

Duluth News (Rep.)
The delegation from st. Louis county
to the Democratic congressional Con-
vention will urge the nomination of
Senator Whiteman for congress. The
sentiment in the county convention held
the past week was united in his favor.
The Democrats argue that Senator
Nhiteman will make an active canvass
and bring out every vote that can be
had. 1t being admitted that this dis
trict is strongly Republican, few men
would care to make a vigorous fight,
and under the existing conditions, if a
nomination were made, the chances are
that the candidate would simply accept
the nomination without feeling it worth
while to stir about and make an effort
to secure large vote. But with Senator
Whiteman the case is different. He is
aggressive and active, and will make
everything hum as far as it is possible
to make it hum. Such congressional
canvass will materially aid the state
ticket and also the county ticket. SEN
ator Whiteman will be nome to-day, and
it is expected that he will run if the
nomination is rendered him.

Vice President Bryan, of the
Worlds Fair Directory, Resigns

ICe ffeSlQenG Bryan, OF the
Worlds Fair Directory, Resigns.
CHICAGO, Sept. SIN a somewhat
tart letter, Vice President T. B. Bryan,
OF the worlds fair directory, resigned
his position this evening. He also re-
signed as director. Mr.. Bryan has
taken prominent part in the worlds
fair movement from the very start, ana
his sudden resignation caused no small
commotion. Mr.. Bryan's letter opens
with brief paragraph announcing that
the coming election of a director general
should relieve the directory from
the necessity of having and
paying for the services of an
active vice president. The letter
then continues through several
pages of typewriter copy wholly de.
voted to Self-defense of Mr.. Bryan
against charges that he got $4,000 to go
to Georgia, and did not get the vote of
single congressman from Georgia for
Chicago; that Mr. Bryan sent his son to
Sweden for information which any con-
sui in this country could have furnished,
and that a gentleman who has been
selected for director:general, and who
has been lOg-rolling for the jackson
park site, got $4,000 for going to Paris
for information that was already avail
able in Chicago. Mr.. Bryan denies that
the missions to Paris or Sweden cost the
directory cent, ana declares that he
not only got no money for Georgia
trip, but that he never made such q
journey. The charges MIR. Bryan
ascribes to state senator resident in
Chicago.

A Plea for EARLY Closing.

some time they have been endeavoring to
secure shorter hours, and have succeeded
very nicely through the assistance of the

lions in this city who favor any reform that
will tend to better the condition of those
who work for living. But now there is an
effort being made by some of the dealers OH

after $50 D. M, and their excuse is that
they want to give the servant girls and work

half of the female clerks of this city goes to
show. And they say that the servant girls
have their afternoons to go shopping if they
want to, and have no occasion to buy even

ought 10 be strong enough to convince those
dealers who want to open their stores even
to themselves and their clerks, but an injury
to their city that boasts of being a metrop-
oils, as all the lar.,e cities of the country and
a great many dealers in the small towns
recognize the benefits of early closing, and
close their places of business at $50 D. m.

means that the men. women and children
working in the retail stores will have to go
through the hard and wearisome task of
serving customers, being on their feet from
twelve to sixteen hours day, with only one
evening in the week for themselves. Now,
with that state of affairs, what time has any

is there for the married man who has to be
away from his family so longs Surely the
good people of our city will come to their
rescue and follow the advice OF such men as

ON DECK.

The delegates who will assemble to-
day in Newmarket hall will have it in
their power to name the next governor
of Minnesota.
In order to accomplish that it is nee
esSary that the candidate who shall be
named shall be man whose abilities
and whose record will commend him to
the confidence of the voters.
1t IS. Furthermore. necessary that his
nomination shall be made in spirit of
harmony, and by snbordination of per-
Sonal interests to the general welfare
that will leave no tinge of bitterness
nor touch of discord when the conven-
ton is over.
If ever there was time when the Oc-
casiOn required Democrats to stand
shoulder TO shoulder and heart to heart
in solid array in defense of Democratic
principles, this is the time. All personal
ambition and factional differences
should be left outside of the door of the
convention, and those who enter should
assemble as men and brethren who have
come together to deliberate ON the
gravest political problems that have
ever been presented to the country for
solution.
The making of platform has come
to be regarded as matter of so little
consequence that conventions are apt TO
slight this important part of their work.
This is an occasion when the Democrats
of Minnesota have special need to give
attention to their platform.
The platform should not be windy.
wordy conglomeration of platitudes, as
is usual to emanate from political COIL
ventions; but it should be the tersest
possible arraignment of the Republican
party on its state and national record.
A platform of three planks. with
three lines to the plank, would be more
effective than one of those thousand
word documents that are most COM
monty issued by political conventions.
One plank should be a short, sharp,
forcible arraignment of the Republican
party of Minnesota on its maladminis-
tratiOn of state affairs. The second
plank should be ringing arraignment
of the Republican tariff policy, as exem-
pIified in the MCKINLEY bill iniquity;
and the third show the tendency of Re-
publicanism toward despotism. as illus
trated by Speaker REEDS rulings and
the LODGE force bill.
With candidates and platform as we
have indicated, the Democracy of Min
nesota will be equipped for the cam
paign, and will go forth conquering and
to conquer. Their standard will be the
rallying signal for the taX-burthened
people Of this state who seek relief
from monopoly oppression, and who de-
sire a publication of both state and ma
tional politics.
AS we said in the beginning, the
chances for Democratic success in Min
nesota this year are all in the hands of
the convention which assemblies in this
city to-day. Shall they be frittered
away by contentious over non-essen-
tials, or shall they be improved by wise
and discreet action? The answer is
with the convention.
