Inns is Still nunt campaign as far
as we are concerned" said a member of
the Republican county committee yes
terday,as he emerged from the labyrinth
that leads to the abiding place of Chair
man Samuel LOWenStein in the Eldi-
colt. 1--WE are devoting our attention
to something else besides Speech-mak-
ing. We found that we could not Sc
cure local speakers enough to make a
lively stumping canvass of the city, and
so we decided not to attempt it. The
style of speakers we would like to have
represent us we cannot get, and those
whom we can secure would damage
our cause.'
The city committee last spring
seemed to have no trouble in getting
speakers" said the GLOBE man.
THAT is true" was the answer, ''but
what did they accomplish? Their
speeches were so abusive and intemper-
ate that decent people took no stock in
what they said, am one of those Re-
publicans who believe that with other
leaders last spring we might now have
Republican mayor in the city hall, as
well as ii Republican council. The
speech-making campaign damaged Col.
Klefer greatly, and Democratic candi-
dates for the council in several wards
were positively helped by the outrage
Gus manner in which they were abused
by the only Republican organ in the
city. This fall we have crowded back
the men who talked US to defeat last
spring, and propose to keep them in the
rear. Ii this organ can be toned down,
l believe we have chance of pulling
through"
Will Henry Johns. Squire McMartin
and their friends do any talking for the
county ticket?" asked the GLOBE rep
reSentatiye.
81 am not aware that either of these
men have been asked to do So" was the
answer. ''As told you before, we do
not propose to damage our ticket by a
lot of rattle-brained and exaggerated
speeches. l have nothing against Henry
Johns OF Judge McMartin, but do not
believe in their style of political cam
paigning.''
''Will the county committee give
johns any support if he decides to run
for the senate in the Twenty-siXth dis
trict?"
''Just the same support they will rem
der any other candidate will be given
him." was the answer. Il do not be-
lieve he should have worked up that
little scheme, but, if he wants to make
square party fight of it, am satisfied
him. To my mind he has no possible
show of winning at the polls. but then
we cannot take any hand before he de-
cides whether he will be u candidate or
not"
Seated in back room at the Repub-
lican headquarters in the Endicott yes
terday afternoon was Chairman LoWen-
stein. of the Ramsey county Republican
executive committee. He was engaged
in looking over long list of names,
probably of his workers. The calm,
cool manner III which he proceeded to
do his work stamped him as typical
Republican leader. cast in the same
leaders who believe in addition, di-
vision and silence" in politics. To
the GLOBE man Mr.. Lowenstein
had nothing to give out, and even re-
fused to divulge the number of knocks
it required to secure admission to his
presence. I'VE are working" he said,
in answer to question, but we are
not saying WOrd;" and the great Re-
= ablican winked wink that told of a
load of political secrets, which he evil
IDENTITY proposes to keep for his own en-
tertainment.
Ex-Lieut Gov. Gilman has decided to
run for congress in the Fifth district.
He came down to ST. Paul yesterday
morning and made this announcement
to a number of his friends. His reasons
for taking this step will be set forth at
Rapids Sentinel. To GLOBE reporter
he said that he went into the fight
with the expectation of being
elected, and that he believed
in the present disturbed condition of
the Fifth district there was every reason
for him to expect success. The people
feel that Congressman Comstock has
grossly misrepresented their interests
during the past session of congress,
and, if this sentiment is not changed,
| feel sure that he will turn up third
or fourth in the race. OF course his
platform this year calls for "a tariff
for revenue oniy,' but how, does
sion of congress which has Just ended?
Did he ever lift up his voice against any
of the iniquities of the Mckinley tariff
bill? The voters of the Fifth district
will pass over Mr.. Comstock's platform
this fall and settle with him on his rec
ord. Yes, sir, / am candidate, and
shall be until the polls close"
The Tilden club met at the new head
quarters jim the chamber of commerce
building last evening, and, after add
ing nearly fifty new members
to the rolls and transacting con-
siderable business, was addressed
by Hon. Dan W. Lawler in an eloquent
and telling speech on the live political
questions of the day. He prefaced his
remarks by stating though he had in
tended originally to discuss the charac-
ter and work of the great Democrat in
whose honor the club was named, he
would instead follow what he believed
would have been the course of Mr.. Til
den himself. viz: to discuss the living
issues of the day. He proceeded to at
tack with logic and force the Republic
an protection policy. That policy, he
said, was adopted to serve the emer-
gencies of the war. and that had origi-
nally been the only apology which its
advocates had advanced for it. They
offered tor it precisely the reasons
which they offered for the suspension
of the habeas corpus act. the cessation
of the right of trial by jury and
the passage of the legal tender acts.
AT the close of the war, the reasons for
the continuance of protection they
found in the necessity for nourishing
our infant Industries, but not until the
Republican convention met in 1884 did
