In one of his entertaining monologues
James Whitcomb Riley relates an anecdote
OF boy who told a whopping big story
which nobody exhibited serious symptoms
of believing. As palliation of the offense
the youth hedged by the declaration that he
didn't really mean it, 'he just said It," For
the credit of the past record of Col Pat
Donan it is to be hoped that he didn't really
mean what he said against the ability
of Minneapolis to hold successful
national convention, but simply lust
said it." possibly in moment of
inedyertency- But whether Col Pat DOMAIN
meant what he said or not. it is just as well
to call the attention of the people of the
United States to the fact that both Mime
apolis and st. Paul, or either of them. are
! amply qualified to successfully entertain any
political convention which may be sent to
them, ana that too, unaided by so enthus-
astic promoter as Col. PAT DOMAIN. He
may go upon the stump against us every day.
He may shed the briiliancy OF his perfervid
eIoquenee from behind the twinkling foot
lights of every opera house in the country in
a foaming, tidal backwash Of Oratorieal de-
nunciation of the Twins He may coyly
button-hole each living masculine member
of theg genus homo, and into i'm patient weary

voice; pull out the vox humana stop to its
| utmost limit, and come down with both feet
on tie forte pedal Ali viii be as light of
weight as the down blown from the thistle
top. Opposition inspires resistance and in
creases propulsive force. AS a dissuader Col.
Pat Donan is a long ways from his native ele

The attention of the Duluth News is called
to the fact that Minneapolis is rot ''out for
the national Democratic convention" She
is backing up the claims OF ST. Paul in mag
nificent style.
Frankness is a commendabie quality in
newspaper. The Wilimar Argus says: Min
neapolis secured the next Republican nation
al convention which will be held June z,
1892, to nominate James G.. Blaine
="
Speaking of conventions we beg the people
of the Northwest to not forget, in their en-
thusiasm over the good fortune OF Mime
apolis that there is to be a cider convention,
or rather a convention of cider makers. at
Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 5 and is, 1891.
Now that Fouseea has bean rudely thrust
aside, whom viii Brazil select 10 do its next
seasons debating?
Republican organs are sorely prone nova
days to indulge in flippant filings at socal,ed
calamity shrieSers." By calamity shriekers
they mean the leading journals and orators
of the Democratic party, and, in fact, any
body else who happens to criticise the fiuan-
cial and economic policies of the present
administration. Ali this gently suggests the
fact that Richard Codben, John Bright, John
Stuart Mill, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jeffer-
son, Benjamin Franklin William Lloyd
Garrison, Wendell Phillips and a host of
| Others who resolutely took the platocratic,
dogmat1c, arrogant bull of political tyranny
by the horns and dropped him over the fence
into the sewer. Pretty respectable crowd of
hustlers, those oldtime calamity shriekers.

has. doubtless. occurred to the presidential
asprant that it would be a judicious precau-
ton to take good care of it for his own sake.

The failure Of New York to secure the con-
vention is explained by the New York Ad-
vertiser on the hypothesis that Col. Elliott
Frangipdngi Shepard who had charge of the
| delegation, refused TO work on Sunday. As
Col Shepard is not opposed to any necessary
work Oh the Sabbath day. he probably con-
sidered the holding OF Republican national
convention in $50! as wholly unnecessary.
