STATE SENTIMENT.
Democracy's Candidate.

Duluth Times Rep.)
Judge Thomas Wilson is squarely in
the field for the Democratic nomination
to the governorship. That he will be-
come the candidate there is no room for
doubt. That he will give the Repub-
lican nominee campaign not at all to
his liking is also assured. Judge Will
son is not only one of the most repre-
mocracy, but he is as well citizen of
the state. whose character as man and
whose record as an official have won
for him the esteem of all, whether for
or against him politically.
F The Democrats of Minnesota have
every reason to exult over the prospects
at the November elections, so far as
they relate to the governOrShip. The
farmers, who cast so heavy vote for
Merriam in 1888, will vote solidly,
almost, for Owen this year. who
will receive not less than $4,000 votes
from this element. and many
thousand additional from the Iaboring
men-perhapS 10000 more, or $4,000
votes in ALL Added to this is a general
distrust of Merriam and desire to see
the idea that money is above all else
receive a fitting rebuke. Two years
ago the total vote for governor was 262,-
OF, divided as follows: Merriam. 1884,
355; Eugene Wilson, DEM, 11O,251;
Harrison, Prohib., 1905; Paul, Lab,
3S5. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Merriam,
in presidential year, had but "a, 1O4
votes more than the Democratic candi-
date. Then there was no organized
Allicnce; now there is powerful or
ganization which will direct its great
est efforts at the overthrow of plutoc-
racy's candidate. Judge Wilson may
safely count upon fairly solid Demo
cratic vote, and this will, in view of ex-
listing conditions, insure his election.
Mr.. Merriam cannot be reelected with
two such men as Tom Wilson and S. M.
Owen opp osed to him.

COLUMBUS, Aug. 13.-About $50 farm
ers met here in state convention to-day
in response to call issued by promi-
nent agriculturists, to take action to
ward presenting their interests to con-
gress and the legislature. A. Mcintyre
called the convention to order, and jill.
Brigham was chosen permanent chair
man and W. II. Lawrence permanent
secretary. There was strong fight to
get a temperance resolution in the plat
form, which was finally defeated. and
the convention also refused to make
any expression on the tariff issue. The
proceedings were prolonged by con-
tinued effort to bring in politics and
parties in various forms, but none
of the attempts proved successful.
The committee on resolutions reported
long address to the people, setting
forth that the farmers must take new
departure and henceforth be factor in
politics. The question was whether
this could be accomplished by the forma-
ton of farmers party, or by making
their influence felt in the control of eX-
listing parties. 1t is the sense of this
convention that they should thoroughly
test the latter course. Their ann should
litical parties, so as to encourage and
protect the interests of agriculture. The
address concludes: I'VE are in favor of
equal taxation upon all forms of prop
erty; the reduction of railroad passen-
ger rates to two cents mile; govern
ment control of railroad and telegraph
lines, as to rates and charges; unlimited
coinage of silver and making it legal
tender for all debts, public and private;
the election OF United States SEN
ators by the popular vote; forfeit
ure of all unearned land grants;
taxes direct and indirect, as low as con-
SiStent with economical administration
of good government; the protection of
pure food products from the ruinouS
competition of adulterated products;
the passage of law multiplying the
effect of the original package" de-
ciSion; the passage of the COnger pure
lard bill; tine rigid enforcement of our
state and national pure food laws; a
graded income tax for corporations and
venting gambling in farm products; the
Rawlings bill, taxing finished manu-
featured products; Australian ballot
system; school books at cost; restriction
of fees and salaries of public officers;
the election of the dairy and food COM
missioners by popular vote. We OBJ
pose, first, alien nonresident owner
ship of land; second, the granting of
passes to public officials" A plan of Or
ganizaton was submitted and adopted
in substance that it should be known as
the Farmers Union of the State of
Ohio, composed of one delegate from
each county for each state society, the
officers to consist of president. a vice
president. secretary, treasurer and an
executive committee. S. I'll. Ellis, of
Warren, was elected president.

Mississippi Constitutional Conven,

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 13.-The entire
membership of the constitutional con-
vention was present and answered to
the roll call at the opening of this
mornings session, except Hon. j. W.
Cutrer. of Coahomo, who is now in
Colorado. 1t is possible that owing to
the unfortunate occurrence of few
weeks ago, by which Editor Chew, of
Friar's Point, lost his life at the hands
of Mr.. Cutrer, that Coahomo county
may only be represented by ona
delegate. Hon. James Alhorn. ex.
governor of Mississippi. and 4
man of brilliant attachments and high
character; Republican in politics. but
honOred and respected by Republicans
nominated by the Democrats of Coaho
mo, and was voted for by the entire
county. Hon. j. S. McNeilly, OF
Greenville, also arrived laat night. The
belated members were duly sworn in,
and the convention proceeded to seat
the delegates, which was done by draw.
ing lots for seats. At O'Clock the con,
vention adjourned until evening. There
was no evening session of the cOnstitu.
tional convention, owing to the fact that
matters have progressed up to that
point where 1t is necessary for such
subjects as are introduced ia

pirate committees. Before adjourn,

Kansas Farmers Put Up State
Ticket.

Il
Ticket.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 13.-The Farm
ers' Alliance of the State of Kansas met
in convention here to-day to nominate
candidates for the state offices. Five
hundred delegates from all parts of the
state are present. j. F. Willets, chair
man of the state central committee,
called the convention to order. and
was made temporary chairman. COM
mittees were appointed and recess
taken. Upon reassembling a congratu-
latory telegram from the Farmers con-
ventiOn in session at Columbus, o., was
read and greetings were returned. The
report of the committee on resolutions
was read and unanimously adopted.
The resolutions reaffirm the principles
of the st. Louis platform and demand
shorter hours for labOrerS: the equal
distribution of lands for homesteads;
the passage by congress of a service
pension law: the issuing of paper on
gold values; the payment of eX-prison-
ers of war for the time spent in
confinement and national arbit-
ration law. The platform denounces
the detective system which allows the
employment of large forces of armed
men by corporations and individuals,
and condemns the Blair bill. An at
tempt was made to insert clause in
the platform indorsjng prohibition, but
the clause was omitted. The nominal
ton of candidates was then begun. W.
f. Wrightmore was nominated for chief
justice of the supreme court; John F.
Willets, of Jefferson county, for gov
ernor; and A. G. Shinn, of Franklin
county, for lieutenant governor.

THE CENSUS LAW.

To the Editor of the GLOBE.
Does the law providing for taking the elev-
enth census name the first day of June as the
date for taking the census, or is the fixing of
the time left discretionary with the census
superintendent? If the date is fixed i'll the
law, by what authority does the census bu-
reau propose to make the recount in this
city including only those who are resident
here at the time the recount is made? Are
all absentees TO be scheduled separately, or
only those who have no fixed place of abode?
By answering these questions you will con-
fera favor on number of your readers who
are ignorant of the provisions OF the census
law A CITIZEN
st. Paul, Aug. Is, 1890
The census law which was passed by
the last congress and approved March l,
1889, says in the first section thereof,
''Ihat a census of the population,
wealth and history of the United States
shall be taken as of the date of June
first, eighteen hundred and ninety"
The particular clause.under which the
census superintendent is supposed to
derive his authority to change the date
is the latter part of the fifth section of
the census act, which reads as follows:
Whenever it shall appear that any por-
ton of the enumeration and census pro-
vided for in this act has been negli-
gently or improperly taken, and is by
reason thereof incomplete, the superin-
tendent of the census, with the approval
of the secretary of the interior, may
cause such incomplete and unsatisfac-
tory enumeration and census to be
amended Or made anew, under such
methods as may, in his discretion, be
practicable"
AS to absentees, the ninth section of
the law makes it the duty of each emu
merator to visit personally each dwell
ing house in his subdivision, and to OBJ
tain the information required under the
provisions of the act. Then the law
says, ''And in case no person shall be
found at the usual place of abode of
such family or individual living out OF
a family, competent to answer the in
Quiries made in compliance with the
requirements of this act, then it shall be
lawful for the enumerator to obtain the
required information, as nearly as may
be practicable, from the family or fami-
lies, Or person or persons, living near
est to such place of abode"
We understand from Supervisor
WARDLE that persons who are absent
from the city, but who have furnished
homes in the city, will be included in
the recount. But in the case of alb
sentees. who have no fixed place of
abode in the city, although this is re-
garded as their home, they will have to
be listed in the supplemental schedule
which will be forwarded for the APP.
proval of the bureau.
1t is important that all persons who
know of the whereabouts of such alb
sentees shall furnish their names and
present poStoffice addresses to the cen
sus committee, whose headquarters are
in the council chamber, in order that
these names may be placed on the sup
Elemental list.

ALLIANCE SUCCESSES.

There are two gatherings in session
just now in the South that are of more
than usual interest. These are the
political conventions in South Carolina
and Texas. They are Democratic
bodies, called by the machinery of the
Democratic party, but both are pos
sessed by the farmers of the Alliance.
In South Carolina they take the name
of their imperturbable leader, and are
known as Tillmanites. The struggle for
possession of this body has been bitter
to the verge of bloodsbed; but the in
surrection, as it were, has three-fourths
OF more of the membership. 1t is, how
ever. but preliminary body to arrange
for the nominating convention. A bolt
OF the minority is regarded as probable,
and resulting contest that may invoke
the aid Of colored votes. The Texas
convention has drawn the active poit-
ical movers from all over the state, to
the number of 5000 or 10000. 1t is
the elimination of great popular
struggle one that has no precedent
there since the present organization of
parties. With its 100000 and more ma
]ority, all political interest," has centered
in the Democratic party. Much of the
influence that usually operates in the
Republican party has sought to effect
its purposes through the Democracy.
The railroad and corporate interests
have largely possessed the machinery of
the party, and the present struggle is
to overthrow that power. Gen. HoGG
is the leader of the Alliance and anti
corporate control element. The especial
demand is for state regulation of rail
roads. The state committee and ma
chnery of the party have been against
the general, and tremendous effort
has been made to prevent his
success. He has gone over the state
presenting the issue. and seems to have
swept it with a whirl. More than
tWo-thirds of the delegates are his sup
porters, and his nomination is conceded.
There is still determined fight against
the Alliance policy of declaring for a
board of control, but the farmers will
probably have it their own way. There
is some prospect that the minority will
bolt. This would hardly endanger the
success of the party, even if the monop-
oily and Bourbon element should form
an alliance with the Republican party.
These two most intensely Democratic
states are likely to be captured by the
Alliance. Most of the congressman will
probably be the choice of the A Alliance
men, although full-blooded Democrats
on all the national lines.

LESSON OF THE STRIKE.

1t is possibly fortunate for the VAN
DERBILT fortune that young Mr.. WEBB
married into the VANDERBILT family.
He knows how to maintain the power
and dignity of plutocracy in way that
some of the shiftleSS sons of fortune
would never dream of. His manage
ment of the railway interests of the
VANDERBILTs during the recent strike
was a mastery exhibition of business
ability that puts some of the old railway
managers to the blush. The strike came
like flash of lightning, and has ended
just about as suddenly. In Mr.. De-
PEw's absence, Mr.. WEBB. who was
supposed to hold the Office of vice presi-
dent merely as an ornamental append
age to his family relations, proved to be
the right man IN the right place. He
has acquitted himself in most credita-
BILE style-better, in fact, than Mr.. DE-
PEW would have done if he had been at
home. He started out with the aSser-
ton that, as acting president of the
road, he proposed to conduct the bust
ness of the company to suit his own
ideas, and he didn't propose to be dicta-
ted to or lnterfered with by any person
outside of the directory. He has stuck
to that policy and has succeeded in
quelling the strikers into submission.
1t doesn't follow, however, that Mr..
WEBB's policy is the wisest that could
have been pursued. The fact that it
was successful in this instance doesn't
argue that it will hold good in every in
stance. He was perfectly justified in
asserting the right of his company, or
of any company, to conduct its business
affairs according to its own idea of bus
mess management. Yet it is mighty
poor business management which is not
founded strictly on justice and hon
esty. According to the statement pub
lished by the Knights of Labor, the
trouble between Mr.. WEBB and his en-

MARKHAM FOR GovERGoR.
California Republicans Select a
Victim for Slaughter.

Victim for Slaughter.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 13.-Imme-
diately after reconvening this morning
the Republican state convention adopted
the report of the committee on organi-
cation making temporary officers per-
manent. The platform was then read
and adopted. 1t reviews the history
for thirty years of the party, and chron
icleS it's achievements in statecraft and
military affairs as worthy to live for
ever upon the brightest pages of his
tory. 1t denounces the manner in which
the Democratic pledge as to free bal
lot in many of the states was broken,
and insists that henceforth the right to
free ballot shall be observed, so far as
it is within the power of the fed
eraI government to effect that OBJ
form of 1883, and favorS arbitration
as a solution of controversies re-
lative to the wages and hours of work
men; favors the rigid and permanent
exclusion of the Chinese; advocates
adequate appropriations by the federal
government for the Sacramento and San
joaquin rivers. Past legislation with
regard to the reclamation and irrigation
of arid lands is approved, and free
schools are declared to be necessity to
the free government. Speaker Reed is
endorsed. and the claim of any number
of members of congress to the
right to delay public business is
rebuked. The platform commendS the
administration of President Harrison as
well as the course pursued by Secretary
Blaine in the Behring sea negotiations.
Pension legislation, the eight-hour law
and stringent laws against pools and
trusts are all favored. The passage of
the silver bill is approved. and an in
crease of the currency of the country to
the extent demanded by its business is
recommended. The clauses of the plat
form referring to Speaker Reed and the
silver legislation were loudly applauded.
The convention nominated Henry S.
Markham for governor.

THE NEBRASKA EXAMPLE.

Nebraska has had for years high
license and local option law. with pro-
visions so. stringent that auy sale of
adulterated liquor causes forfeiture of
the license. The lowest possible license
is $500 in cities or towns under 1000
population, and $1,000 in the larger
places. Que of the regulations prohib-
its the use of screens in saloons; and
intoxicated parties cannot get off with
less than $40, and may have thirty days
in Jail. Any village or city may license
or refuse, at its pleasure. The law en-
joins more rigid system than that in
this state, which is set forth in the Re-
publican platform as the most effective
temperance measure yet devised. In
Nebraska the Republican convention
did not dare to indorse the high license
regimen after the protracted trial. The
people are to choose between the exist
ing method and prohibition at the cleo
ton. A majority of the Republicans
will vote for prohibition and against
high license and local option. They
don't hold with their party in this state.
