while pretending to be for Mr.. Davis.

they Will hesitate to make openly be-
cause of the prominence and the power

Altogether it is very pretty muSS,
and there will be lots of fun before it is
over. The situation has resolved itself
into a wrangle between two factions of
the Republican party, one of which.
while controlling the leading party
papers, seems to be afraid TO step out
into the open light of day and fight the
man it wants so much to defeat. 1t is
contest that the Democrats will
be able to enjoy. because they are
in no wise concerned. The Republican
party is in good deal the same position
as sinner under old Lorenzo Dow'S
Interpretation OF the Presbyterian creed.
Dow was among the first of the MethO-
dist evangelists to invade New England
and he never preached sermon with
out literally jumping upon" his Calvin
iStic brethren. In illustrating the be-
lief of the denomination he disllked he
would throw one leg over the pulpit and
get off the following doggerel:
"You can and you can't;
You will and you won't;
You Will be damned if you do
And be damned if you don't"
The Republicans of Minnesota are
about in this position. If they select
c. K. Davis, the McKinleyite, the Pa
cific railroad advocate, and the friend
of corporations i'll general, the people
will deDounce them, and if they turn
him down the federal officials who have
so cleverly taken care of nearly all the
conventions during the past year, may
make it personal matter, resign their
offices and go out in body as soon as
the Democratic administration takes

But Hand County Is Uncertain

Special to the Globe.
MILLER, S. d., Dec. 19.7Among the
dozen or more who have been an
nounced as good timber" for railroad
commissioner, is Capt. E. I. Sheldon, of
this place. The gentleman aspired to
the nomination for governor at Madison,
last summer, and his friends now MAIN
tain the gOvernor-elect can easily soothe
the wounds OF defeat by appointing him
to rich plum on the railroad commits
sion. But the Republicans of this sec
ton OF the state have always been fight
ing among themselves so much-a part
of them at times even supporting inde-
pendent candidates for local offices,
when revenge or succor was to be
gained, thus giving the county Hand)
to the opposite parties in nearly all
elections-tLat it is hardly probable.
that even an always loyal Re
publican will now be rewarded,
for those who have patronage to
dispense have come to look upon Re-
publicans of this part Of the state as
mighty uncertain when it comes to yot-
ing. In other words. the many seem to
have to suffer for the past political sins
of the few.

The Fourth in Belfast.

The Waldo Horse Breeders Association
has made several attempts to celebrate in
Belfast the national anniversary, but the
weather has been against them. Monday
morning last the rain came down in frequent
showers, but it cleared away early in the day
and brisk northwest wind dried the ground
and made a it possible to carry out success
fully the published program. First in order
was the procession of fantasies, etc. The
trades We're not represented. The most con
spicuous feature Of the parade was the ship
Maytiower, gotten up by Capt. J III. Perkins.
The ship was fully rugged and was hauled
through the streets with man at the wheel.
Another notable feature was Mr.. Samuel
Adams as ballet girl on a bicycle. The
procession was escorted by Capt Charles
Baker, as chief marshal, with DR.. &. P.
Lombard as aid, and was headed by the Bel
fast Band.
At 1890 a large crowd assembled on school
house common where the Hon. Seth L. Mil

dress. The meeting was presided over by
