in keeping books for the state or merely
approving bills passed by the legislature.
Inc state constitution provides that
1.-The governor shall communicate by
message to each session of the legisla-
ture such information touching the
state and condition of the country as he
may deem eXpedient." The warmest
defender of Mr.. Merriam cannot con-
tend that in a single executive message
he has satisfied that constitutional pro-
vision. Referring briefly to the har-
mony existing among the Democrats of
Ramsey county and the excellent char
acter of their county ticket, the speaker
urged his hearers to individual effort,
and earnestly predicted Democratic
success.

The Alliance state ticket is now le-
gally before the people of the state,
Secretary Warren yesterday filing Pc
tition, containing the names of $500 Cit
liens of the state, requesting the audit
or to-place the names of Messrs. Owen,
Barrett, Wesenberg, Mathison, Bier
nominees of the farmers, on the official
state ballot. The Prohibitionists were
not ready to file their petition
yesterday, but will do so to-day.
There was some doubt existing in the
mind of the deputy state auditor yes
terday as to whether he was empowered
by law to accept petitions for the plac-
ing OF names on the official state ballot
for the forthcoming election, after the
close of the day. The clause in the
Australian ballot law relating to the
filing of the certificates says that they
must be filed twenty-eight days before
election. The auditor figured out that
according to this law the time for filing
certificates expired with the close of Of
fetal hours yesterday. TheAlliance party
saved themselves from any difficulty
that may arise in the matter, and filed
their petition yesterday, nominating
their ticket. The Prohibition party,
however, claim that to-day is the last
day for filing the certificates, and that
the construction of the law includes the
day Of election in the twenty-eight days.
The state auditor has decided to accept
the certificates and place the matter be-
fore the attorney general for his legal
opinion upon the matter.

A number of yourg workers met at
Is East Eighth street last evening and
organized the Scandinavian American
Young Mems Political club. Its poll
tics is as yet unknown, but the various
local candidates are very likely to hear
of it very soon. 1t is efficered as fol-
lows: President, a. q. Esklund; vice
president, Edgar Carver; secretary, G.
r. Purdy: treasurer, Al EyenSon. The
next meeting of the club will be held
Monday evening next.
Capt. Snider has made discovery,
and it is one that all his brother mem
berS from this state would like to make
about this time. He has actually
learned that the Mckinley tariff bill is
satisfactory to this state. On being
asked the question, SIS the tariff bill
satisfactorY"' yesterday. Mr.. Snider
said:
80 this section of the country. yes.
This is my candid opinion of it at any
rate. There was no chance to carry
through the free Irvine amendment.
The situation was exactly this: Had
the advocates of free Irvine stood out
any longer the sugar schedule would
have been beaten. The sugar clause,
as adopted, is far better for Minnesota
and the West than free binding Irvine
would have been. Then there was dam
ger of the defeat of the entire Ia .iff bill
had any further kick been made by the
Western men. AS it is now the sugar
clause will be very beneficial to the
Western states, and binding Irvine has
been reduced from 2115 to 7-10ths OF
cent per pound.
After making this statement his re-
mark that the Republicans would elect
all the Minnesota congressman this
year is not in the least surprising.
