MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

AS usual, there are some Democrats
who are disappointed because they
were not appointed on certain commit
tees, or because they or their friends
did not succeed in securing certain
nominations. Their heads have been
swollen by the songs of praise poured
into their ears about their noble Sacri
fees in behalf of the party until they
seem to think they have only to ask for
what they want, and that refusal of
their demands is statutory offenSe.
Some of these patriots need little plain
talking to, and the chances are they
will get it if their better nature does
not assert itself and bring them to real
lZation that the party is greater than
any man or any set of men. The chief
trouble seems to be that the committee
is not numerically large enough to in
clnde all the workers" of the party:
and. by the way. some of the great UNI
satisfied have proven themselves work
erS" in more senses than one. An eff
fort is being made this time to combine
all elements of the party in a grand
struggle for victory. In order to do this
it has been found necessary to recognize
certain men who, perhaps, have not
always endeavOred StrenuouSly to aid
their party, but. at the same time, their
loyalty and the value OF their services
cannot be questioned. Naturally some
have been overlooked in the honorary
appointments. but this time the Demo
Gratis mean TO win, and the loud
mOuthed Democrat who hangs about
saloons and furnishes Republican news
papers with material with which to
breed diSsenSion among the Democrats
is not going to be tolerated or borne
with.
The Times is not so fiercely antagonistic
TO the candidacy of one w. K. Merriam
for governor as it was a few weeks ago.
Possibly Merriam has heard about the
Times and subscribed for it.
The grand old Republican party, with
all its millionalreS and military heroes,
is getting pretty hard up when it has to
beg man like Loren Fletcher to run
FOR an office he doesn't want and cannot
be elected to.
The rejoicing that is following the re-
suit of the census recount as laying
over that of another city, with which
there is to be no reciprocity of trade,
which Secretary Blaine thinks should
be cultivated between cities of the three
Americas, is faint indeed in comparison
with the enthusiasm that will be evoked
if Minneapolis wins the base ball pen
nant.
The season at Lake Minnetonka was
yesterday declared officially closed by a
party of newspaper men, who visited
the lake as the guests of Health Officer
KilvingtOn. 1t will now be the proper
thing to take the lake in doors, brush
the dust off it. and hang it up in the
WOodShed for the winter.
Harris Martin, of Minneapolis. sable
gentleman of hard-hittlng proclivities,
has recently returned from st. Joe, Mo-,
where he met muscular citizen of that
place named Hightower i'll the squared
circle. 1t is said that Mr.. Hightower
remarked. as he advanced to the center
OF the ring:
Nov, this is where / kill him.
Whereupon he hauled off and smote
Mr.. Martin mighty smite on the era
MUM. Mr.. Martin did not fall dead,
but, on the contrary, did not even
vince. Mr.. Hightower's hand was
broken as result of the collision, and
he was at the mercy of Mr.. Martin
for the balance of the encounter.
