BUCKS WITHDRAWAL,

1t is in the most unSelfish spirit that
Hon. DANIEL BUCK announces his
withdrawal from the gubernat0rial
race, and his patriotic action in this
matter will not fail to impress itself
upon the great body of the Minnesota
Democracy. In common parlance, Mr..
BUCK is a s'wheel horse" of Democracy,
Democrat from the ground up, and
his untiring devotion to Democratic
principles has Justly entitled him to the
position of leadership he now occupies.
1t was hot an unnatural thing that at
this particular time, when Democratic
principles are in the aScendency, Mr..
BUCK should be looked to as q fit per-
son to lead the Democratic hosts in the
coming campaign. His name has been
friendly canvaSsed in connection with
the gubernatorial nomination, and
many earnest friends have voluntarily
pledged him their support. 1t is there
fore in spirit of complete self-abnega-
ton Mr.. Buck publishes an open letter
absolving bis friends from all pledges
and promises. thus leaving them free to

deemed best for the promotion of Demo
cratic principles. If there is any one
else more available than himself. Mr..
BUCK wants that man nominated, and
he will help to elect him. 1t is matter
OF no consequence to him whether he IS
in command or in the ranks; he is still
willing to do service in the cause of
establishing Democratic principles.
And the same may be said of all the
other prominent Democrats whose
names have been mentioned in connec-
ton with this nomination. 1t is for
tunate state of affairs for the Minnesota
Democracy that neither money nor
personal ambition will cut any figure in
the coming state convention. The del
egates will have the utmost freedom in
selecting fromtne abundance of good ma
terial on hand a ticket that will deserve

is MUM NOMINATED?

The Republican organs must hold a
grudge against NJ. D. MUM. In lcok-
ing over the list of the Republican can
didates nominated by the county con-
vention we fail to see Mr.. NUNS name
in the list published in the Republican
newspapers of this city. And,yet there
is current impression that Mr.. MUM
received the barren honor OF nominal
ton for county attorney. Still, Ihefe
seems to be no official record or the
fact.
Going back little farther we observe
that the call for the Republican county
convention did not include the nominal
ton of county attorney, and it is pos
sible that Mr.. NUNS nomination was
only mockery. The semi-legal status
given to conventions and primaries by
the Australian law raises a question as
to the power of a convention to transact
any business outside of what was deslg-
mated in the official call. If not, then
Mr.. NUNS nomination cannot be prop
erly certified, and his name could not be
printed Oh the official ballot.
In suggesting this point, the GLOBE
has no disposition to deprive Mr.. MUM
of an honor which is barren enough at
best. He makes mighty good ballast
for a ticket that needs ballast. But
here is something for the lawyers, and
possibly for the courts, to inquire into.
The Republican papers seem to be I'M
pressed with the idea that Mr.. MUM is
not nominated, but we are willing to
give him the benefit of the doubt.

A MINNESOTA CASE.

The postal authorities, under the in
spiration of the alert Philadelphia mer-
chant, may easily be made to feel that
they have good deal of responsibility
in allowing people to read publications.
The Russian book has theories not re-
garded as morally and socially salubri
Gus by the postmaster general, and his
subordinates may naturally conclude
that books and papers politically heter-
odox should have their potential dis
approval. A Swede paper in Chicago
the Scandia-advocates tariff reform,
and is reputed to be doing effective
work. Republican postmasters in. Min
nesota and Wisconsin who can read
that language seem to have discovered
its wrong politics, and send back to
the publishers orders to stop it when.
as found by investigation, it is wanted
by the parties addressed. One of these
is named JOHN M. JoNAsoN, at Scandal
postoffice, IN Washington county, this
state, He writes the publisher that the
paper is "trash. and gains no friends
among the Swedes." He adds the infor-
lUdllOn W PlOOetbAs XII
apology for their political errors, that
they have become mentally deranged,"
and would inspire terror in their minds
by this statement: ''You may be on a
lookout that you don't get licking in
exchange for your paper, because no.
body with sound mind accepts such
lunacies as you advocate, say many
Minnesotans." 1t is not quite clear
whether the postmaster proposes to in
fiict 1.-The licking" himself, or reflects the
pugilistic demands of his political asso-
clates. The many other things he sug-
gests in his letter afford no clue, per-
haps because some of them require
dashes for respectable print. 1t is not
believed Mr.. WANAMAKER will APP
prove of this postmaster at Scandal as a
letter writer, even if his political vigil
ance IS commended. The case is of
consequence only as an illustration of
the disposition among postal officials to
exercise censorship over the contents of
tho mails.

BLAINE's INCONSISTENCY.

Mr.. BLAINE doubtless thought he was
scoring point against Speaker REED,
but in reality was only making a spec
tacle of himself, when he sent that dis
patch to the Republican convention at
MaSsillen. in which he spoke so highly
of Maj. MCKINLEY. There IS jealousy
existing between REED and MCKINLEY,
and Mr.. BLAINE'S idea was to pat Nc
KINLEY on the back in order to weaken
REED. 1t did not seem to occur 10 Mr..
BLAINE that he was giving an exhibition
OF inconsistency that would daZe his
friends and please his enemies. Maj.
MCkINLEY'S chief prominence before
the country to-day is as author of
tariff bill which Mr.. BLAINE has con-
demned, and it is bill of so much i'm
portance that it is to be made national
issue. 1t is very difficult matter for
the country to separate MCKINLEY
from his tariff bill. 1t will. there
fore, be equally difficult for the
people to reconcile BLAINE's ex-
cessiye admiration for MCKINLEY
with his expressed hostility to the Nc
iAlNLTt Jill. III 10 u u0. Midi. mChlN-
LEY needs every Republican vote in his
district if he is to hold his seat in con-
gress. There are great many BLAINE
partiSanS in the MaSsillOn district, and
the recent caustic criticisms made by
their chief Oh MCKINLEY's hobby may
have dampened their ardor. The prob
able effect of Mr.. BLAINE's message may
be to stiffen their backbones in support of
MCKINLEY's candidacy; yet it is going
to be boomerang in the end. When
Mr.. BLAINE gets TO pressing his reel
procity ideas on congress, Tom REED
will turn the tables on him. According
to Mr.. BLAINE's own Interpretation of
the measure, ''there is not line in the
MCKINLEY bill which will open mar
ket for another bushel of wheat or for
another pound of pork" and yet Mr..
BLAINE wants MCKINLEY Endorsed.

A FEW CONTRASTS.

In discussion of the current charge
of the Republicans that constraints at
the South cut down the vote to AN
alarming extent. the Chicago Herald
gathers from the census of 1880 and the
election returns of that year figures
that win surprise those who have cred
tied all the partisan assertions on the
subject. Alabama comes as near poll-
ing its full vote. within a fraction. as
California. Missouri has but $4,000
more males over twenty-one than Mas
saehusetts. and yet it cast $4,000 more
votes. Perhaps there was suppression
of votes in Massachusetts. The most
striking contrast. however, is between
South Carolina and Minnesota. This
state had 2l2,399 males over TWEEN
ty-one, and South Carolina but
POS, 7s9, yet the latter cast no.
SSS votes, while Minnesota gave only

PECK'S PLUM.

There can be no misunderstanding OF
the issue in the Wisconsin campaign.
The nomination of Gov. HOARD by the
Republicans, and the subsequent nomi-
nation of Mayor GEORGE w. PECK, of
Milwaukee, by the Democrats, renders
the making of platforms unnecessary.
The candidates themselves are the plat
forms, and the Bennett law Is the sole
issue.
The Democratic position on the Ben
nett law is clearly defined in the plat
form. which was drafted by the clever
hand of W. f. Villas, and embodies the
objections the GLOBE had previously
made against it. 1t is defined to be a
tyrannical invasion of individual and
constitutional rights. whose underlying
principle is needless interference with
parental rights and liberty of consci-
ence.
1t was upon this platform that GEORGE
w. PECK was elected mayor of Milwau-
kee by an overwhelming vote, and it is
upon this platform he will be elected
governor of Wisconsin by correspond
ing large vote. The good people of
Wisconsin are not yet ready to surren-
der their individual rights and personal
liberty to the keeping of school board
to be operated under the influence of a
partisan cabsl.
The single objection that the Repub-
licans urge to Mr.. PECK's candidacy is
that he is the author of some funny
books. 1t is far-fetched objection, at
best, considering that they have can
didate who is renowned for his clown
ishness, and who can perhaps tell more
smutty stories in given length of time
than any man in Wisconsin. However,
they will find Mr.. PECK to be serious
enough for all practical purposes before
the campaign is over. That he has an
element of humor in him which he has
turned to good account is not to his dis
credit The man who can make the
world laugh is its best benefactor. Mr..
PICKS wit is pure and original, and we
have no doubt that when he gets to be
governor his craftsmanship will be of
the same type. He is superb in what
ever department you may put him.
Here is hearty greeting to the DEM
ocrats of Wisconsin,, and an equally
hearty congratnlation to our brother
quillsman, who merits the honor that
has been bestowed upon him.
Go in, boys, and lick the life out of
the advocates of sumptuary and con-
science-suppressing legislation.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 2s.-A Guate-
mala dispatch of Yesterdays date re-
ceived here to-day by Senior
Dieguez, the Guatemalan minister,
announces that President Barillas
last night ratified the stipulations
of peace with Salvador presented by
the diplomatic corps, which stipula-
tons were approved beforehand by
Gen. Ezeta. The principal condition
is that the defacto Salvadorian govern
ment binds itself to Immediately con-
woke the legislative assembly which ex-
listed before July %. This assembly
will decide on the presidency of Ezeta.
This proves that EZeta has accepted
Guatemalan Intervention in SalvadOrian
affairs. In this he did well,
because this affair is not of local, but is
OF Central American interest. This as
sembly is not constitutional, but is an
ordinary legislative body, and as such
can only decide questions in compli-
dnce with the constitution. Thus it
will call Vice President Ayala. who it
is believed will be elected president
unless a new coup d'etat is attempted,
which would be a grave compli-
cation. Geronimo Pou, the Sal
vadorian agent here, says he
has received no news of the signing of
peace and does not believe it, but he
has telegraphed for information. The
report that Senior Pou would be made
-SaIvadorian minister to the United
States OF Mexico is not true. He is a
Spanish subject and he prefers to re-
main Spaniard, but he knows he will
receive a rich reward from Ezeta. The
fever is epidemic at Mrzatlan. EX-
change on Europe is quoted at 4 per
cent.

MINNEAPOLIS DEMOCRATS.

1t IS encouraging to note that the
Democrats of Minneapolis were not so
much absorbed in census matters as to
neglect the duty of putting first-class
municipal ticket in the field. The
ticket nominated Tuesday is square and
perpendicular, and in every way comes
up to all the correct measurements. Mr..
WINsToN's nomination. for mayor was
demanded by the Democratic voters in
their primary capacity, and is the evil
dence of his great personal popularity
in the community where he is best
known. He is a gentleman of large
business interests, man of approved
character and fitness. and in every es-
sential particular qualified for the may
orally. The remainder of the ticket is
made up of equally good stuff. and if
the peopleof Minneapolis have proper
appreciation of merit and fitness they
will elect the entire ticket.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

4 New Hampshire paper reports that
at the camp fire at the encampment at
Boston in honor of the election of the
successor of Gen. ALGER, one of the
principal speakers was the commander
of the New Hampshire department,
and he used this language:
81 believe that fiom this date the g.
A. r. takes on a new phase. Com
mander VEAZEY is not candidate
for president of the United States.''
This is in its immediate import dec
laration that Gen. ALGER had occupied
the position with view to the use of
the organization to promote his aspira-
tons to the Republican nomination for
president. 1t shows that the affecta-
ton of denial of this is taken at its true
value. The New Hampshire man would
hardly express this opinion without
knowing the disposition of the organi-
cation. 1t may be inferred that there
had been in the intercourse of
the veterans very positive indi-
dicationS Of disapproval, not only of the
course of Gen. ALGER, but of all at
tempts to pervert the association to par
tisan uses. Ii this proves to be the
fact. it will be matter of congratula-
ton that seemingly growing peril has
been escaped. Gen. ALGER is but one
of many who have aimed to make the G.
A. r. stepping-stone to high place.
1t will be remembered that in Illinois,
in the campaign two years ago. this
partisanship was so marked that Gen.
PALMER. the Democratic candidate for
governor, felt compelled to withdraw
from the society, although one of its
earliest members. The original pur-
poses of the organization are all nom
partisan, and its sphere of usefulness is
ample and satisfying, without allowing
it to become an agency to be used to
promote the selfish schemes of parti-

lima is one of the states where most
suppression has been alleged. but it will
hardly be insisted that there is not a
free vote in Minnesota. 1t exhausts the
persuasive and compelling powers OF
politicians and the demands of good
citizenship to get out near full vote III

registered for the last city election IN
st. Paul did not vote. There may be
cases of intimidation in the South, but
it may be that causes operative III the
North may aid in keeping voters from
