MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

The evening edition of the Minneap-
lliS Tribune, which bitterly opposed the
slectiOn of u. Is, Winston as mayor of
Minneapolis, now speaks authoritative
"" and says that Mayor-elect Winston
has already, before taking his Office, de-
sided upon the appointment of Mai. Il.
R. Henderson as the superintendent Of
police. The GLOBE, as the only paper
which espoused the candidacy, the
domination and the election of
MIR. Winston as mayor OF the city
Of Minneapolis, does not pretend 10
speak "authoritatively"for Mr.. Winston.
It comedies the fact that, although act
I've workers for the cause of Democracy
may have some rights which may not
,0e dictated by Republican papers, of
which the Tribune is sample,
Mr.. Winston has still right to make
his own appointments. That by such
appointments as he has tn make his adj
mlnIStrati0n will I've largely influenced
is of course obvious. A man, for in
stance, at the head of the police
department who is not qualified for the
position will furnish such papers as the
Tribune with material with which to in
flame the fires of dissatisfaction. 1t is.
oil course, unjust to Maj. Henderson 10

tenanceS the backing he is given by
that higOted sheet. the Minneapolis
Tribune. AT the same time the as
sumption that he has been promised"
the position. or that if he does not care
for he will dictate the appointment"
seems 10 be both premature ana out of
haste.
Maj. Il. r. Henderson should at least
diScountenance the Minneapolis Trib-
nne as his mOuthpiece. If he is really
TO be the superintendent of the police
force of Minneapolis and has been
promised the position, he has made Il
poor beginning.
