The eyes of the people of this state
and even of this nation, are upon this

The most deliberate stealing that
has ever been perpetrated in the
north or south was done at the Sixth
congressional convention yes
terday. We are indeed surprised
that. some of the candidates would
permit their friends to commit such
contemplate outrages upon the
people of the Sixth district. Very
few, if any, who voted to seat the del
egates from Cove county as recon-
mended by the majority report dare
rot 60 home and tell their families
what they had done. The republicans
of the Sixth district have a missionary

district can have no word in the man.

speak out boldly and it is the duty of
every republican paper in the north
west to condemn in unmistakable
terms the action of the "big four" as
representing the majority of the COM

A VIGOROUS KICK.

The Howard Lake Herald has always
been regarded one of the cleanest as it
is one of the ablest Republican papers
in the state. But it is tired of holding
its nose to exclude the stencil of Repub-
lican corruption, so it has squarely
bolted the Republican state ticket. 1t
gives 1t out straight that honest, indie
pendent Republicans cannot longer af-
ford to uphold the corrupt combine who
are controlling the Republican party
in this state, and who have succeeded
in eliminating every element OF fair
ness and purity from the party organi-
cation.
This is but the beginning of a move
ment that is likely to prove disastrous
to the power OF boodleism in our state
politics. The charge cannot be made
that the Howard Lake paper is infiu-
enced in his present course by any
other than pure and honest motives.
The gentleman who is the leading
spirit of the journal has Away been a
Republican whose services and inf1u-
eEce in party affairs were recognized
when Senator WAsHBURN pushed him
for the appointment of United States
marshal. There are great many other
Republicans whose opinions accord
with those expressed by the Howard
Lake paper. They may not be so out
spoken, but their sense of self-respect
compels them to admit that it is bad
thing to vote the Republican ticket this

TELL THE TRUTH.

The Minneapolis papers have been
quoting freely from the GLOBES Wash
ington dispatches and editorials the past
few days and saying kind things about
this paper for it's manly stand on the
census middle in st. Paul. The GLOBE
is a newspaper, and gives the events of
the day as they occur, regardless OF the
fact that they may help or hurt st. Paul
or any other section. 1t is best to tell
the truth, maxim which these Mime
apolis papers themselves have failed to
learn. In all the seven weeks since the
arrest of the Minneapolis enumerators,
the Minneapolis newspapers have never
for single day admitted what every
one of them knew to be true-that there
was a gigantic conspiracy to pad the
census of that city; to fraudulently
add 10000 to $4,000 names to its
schedules for the purpose of giving
it dishonest commercial and political
standing. This has been plain to every
resident Of average intelligence Of both
cities for many weeks, and when Super
intendent PORTER confirmed every
body's suspicious with evidence over
whelming, the Minneapolis newspapers,
suppressing and garbling the news at
every turn, were placed in position so
ridiculous that their jugglery excited
only disgust in their own community.
The GLOBE deals out the news with an
even hand. 1t told the truth about the
Minneapolis census: it is telling the
truth about the st. Paul census, and
will continue to tell the truth, regard
less of local pride or prejudice, as long
as it has contract with the public to
furnish the news.

STATE COMMITTEE MEETING

STATE COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Democratic state central commit
tee, which meets in Minneapolis to-day,
has no important work to do beyond
fixing the time and place for holding
the state convention.
We would not, if we could, influence
the committee in this matter farther
than to urge that it is important the
date for holding the convention should
be fixed at such time as will best suit
the farmers. 1t goes without saying
that the convention will be held in one
of these two cities, and any time will
suit the delegates from Ramsey and
Hennepin counties. But the farmers
who propose to take an unusually active
hand in state politics this year. should
be consulted.
The Democratic convention will not
be like its Republican predecessor,
merely a machine affair set in operation
to register the will of one man. Ours
must be, and will be, fair representa-
tive body. composed of delegates repre-
senting all interests. 1t is important
that it shall be full convention and
that all the people snail have just rep
reSentation in it.
This is fact, and the only fact, the
central committee will have to keep in
mind to-day in order to perform its
work satisfactorily. There is a feeling
among Democrats this year that there
is victory in the air, and they look tC
their committeeman and representatives
to pursue the most judicious course il
all things. -
