THURSDAY JULY " 1890.
STATE CONVENTION.

To-day the republican party of Mime
sofa, through its regularly chosen rep
resentatives, is engaged in the herculean
task of evolving ticket and plat
form of principles with which to appeal
to the electors of the state at the polls in
November. The party has no easy task
to perform. Not for years has the out
come been so much in doubt. There is a
vast deal of uneasiness and unrest
among the people, and party ties were
never looser and weaker than in this
year of grace 1890. The republicans are
put upon their mettle both in the selec-
ton of a ticket and in enniciating a
a platform. The crack of the party
whips has lost its horrors to the voter
in great measure, and certainly the
leaders should not be more subservient
The Mckinley bill was pushed through
Congress as party measure, as was the
silver bill, and yet both ofthem are really
sectional measures, rather than political
The difference in social, financial and
business con 1itions between the extreme
east with its capital employed in bank
ing manufacturing and kindred enter
prises, and the west, where agriculture and
mining are the overshadowing interests
are such that a radical policy which
would meet the demands and subserve
the interests of one section would not
meet the approval of the other. 1t /:
clear that judicious regard for thei'
diverse, if not adverse, interests must be
maintained in any legislation upon eco
nomic measures to he university ap
Dlicable.

county attorney and without first having
ascertained that they vert just and law

that the statements contained in sale

the facts in the premises.

NO TICKET.

The republican county convention very
wisely concluded not to nominate a
county ticket. The position taken by
most of the delegates was that the re-
publican party is in such hopeless mi
nority in the county that it is impossible
for it to elect any candidate on party
lines. The democrats are SO strong in
the county that it is inevitable that there
be more than one democratic candidate
for every office. This gives the republi
cans practically the balance of power
providing they act with any degree O
unaminity, and while they may not bt
able to elect one of their own party; they
may have a decided choice among the
democratic nominees, which they would
be at liberty to express, providing they
are not tied down by party nominations
Party allegiance is in no way effected
nor does the party organization suffer il
the least. The result will be to the bene
fit of the county at large, as it will tene
to The election of the best men i'll thu
field for the various local offices.

The republican county convention
which met atSt Cloud on Friday last
was made almost exclusively OF the
Younger and more active men in the par
ty, and there was a disposition very
manifest to make very material change
i'll the policy of conducting political al
fairs in Stearns county. In no spirit OF
hospitality, but as the bare statement of
fact known to every observing man cog
infant of the condition of political affairs
heretofore St. Cloud-has stood for
Stearns county. Our sister city has as
suned to be the county-and has dictat-
ed accordingly. At this convention
there was a clearly defined disposition to
give due consideration to the balance OF
the county, and the heartiest goodwill
and spirit OF cooperation prevailed
1t was one of the most satisfactory coun-
ty conventions which ever assembled
The convention was unit against i'll
structing its delegates and equally unit
ed against nominating ticket. Strong
rs has been the influence of Stearns coun
ty in the past, in republican circles, it
will be still stronger in the future.

THE REPUBLICAN county convention
led at St. Cloud on Friday last was
one of the most satisfactory and har-
monious bodies that ever assembled in
S.earns county. 1t was representative
body, but 1.-THE old guard" was conspicu-
Gus by it's absence. There was no dispo-
s1tion manifested to run" the conven-
tion in the interest OF any individual Or
faction. Not an unpleasant feature
married the proceedings. The St. Cloud
delegates were not only courteous to
their visitors, but citizens outside the
convention assumed the sole of hosts,
and made special effort to entertain
their guests pleasantly.
