The GLOBE receives daily bulletins

their respective communities. The bur-

the state to sense of the wrong the
Republican party has been doing its

partisanship, and is sailing towards the

MINNESOTA PLAYS TRUMPS.
How the Action of the Democratic

How the Action of the Democratic
State Committee Is Viewed in
the East.
New York World
The Minnesota Democrats have yolun-
tarily substituted for four of the candi-
dates on their electoral ticket an equal
number who are also nominees of The
Peoples party. This inSures that four
OF the states votes in the electoral COL
lege will be cast against Harrison, and
improves an already good chance that
the whole nine may be.
In the last state election, tina. of 1890,
the vote for governor was as follows:
Republican, So, Ill; Democratic, 81, S44:
Farmers Alliance, 5S,514; Prohib ition
1924 The Republican plurality over
the Democratic vote was but 2.267, and
the combined Democratic and Alliance
vote exceeded that of the Republicans
by 56,247. On the aggregate vote for
congressman also the combination had
majority over the Republicans of
81, 473, the Republicans eIecting but one
candidate by paltry plurality of 4S2.
The total vote Of Minnesota in the
last presidential election was over 26S,.
600. This year it will be at least ESQ.,
900. of which if the Republicans get
10000 they will do better than their
conservative men dare expect. They
had some confidence of obtaining a
plurality between distinct Democratic
and Peoples tickets. That confidence
is blasted by the wise course of the
Democratic state committee.
Minnesota is for reform. Its people
have had enough of the rule of the party
of monopoly, deception and plumber.
Under this rule its agrculturists are
taxed to bestow undeserved bounties on
favored classes.
The Minnesota Democrats are playing
politics to win. They afford a good
example to their neighbors.

EMANCIPATION OF MINNIE.

The returns are now in from every
quarter OF the state, and the action of
the central committee in reference to
the presidential electors meets with the
party's unanimous Endorsement.
Everybody who is fair-minded recog-
nizes that tariff reform is the paramount
Issue of the pending national campaign.
On this question the Democracy and
the Peoples party stand together. A
union of their electoral tickets promises
that the electoral college will represent
most accurately the states majority
opinion as far as it is concerned.
If every Democrat votes for the four
electors of the Peoples party who have
been commended to their support, as
we'll as for the five nominated by the
Minneapolis convention, and every
member of the Peoples party votes for
the same candidates. BENJAMIN HAIR
RIsoN will receive no help from Mime
sofa.
No contamination could be more de-
llghtful than this, and movement
which assures it is good politics and
patriotic achievement.
The Democracy has taken new hope
from this action, and the election of
DANIEL w. LAWYER to the governor
ship is inevitable from the spirit of
buoyancy and enthusiasm that has
spread through the ranks.
We are OH the home stretch. The
emancipation of Minnesota is at hand.

THE UNITED STATES SENA.
TORSHIP.

The republican press of Minnesota
is pale with fear lest CUsHMAN K.
DAVIS should not be returned to the
United States senate by the next legis-
lature
1t reads the handwriting of fate on
the wall. and raises piteous cry that
should he be defeated the honor of the
state will be stained and our people be
without a spokesman in the nations
council chamber.
CUsHMAN X. DAVIS has been the rep
resentative of an agricultural state in
congress for the past five years, and
under solemn obligation to protect and
fight for its interests.
BY his voice and vote the MCKINLEY
bill was made law. The MCKINLEY
bill was measure designed to enrich
the manufacturers of New England and
Pennsylvania at the expense of the
Western farmers.
The force bill had no stauncher sup
port than his. The force bill was
measure designed to stir up anew the
emoers of sectional strife and stay the
industrial progress of the Union by the
interiection of a reign of confusion and
hate.
The extravaganza of the billion-dol
congress excited not word of protest
from his mouth. The reckless expendi-
lures which he then cOuntenanced con-
sumed the surplus GROVER CLEvE-
LAND had left in the governments
treasury, and loaded the country with
all intolerable and endless burden of
taxation.
At this hour CUsHMAN K. DAVIS is
on the stump defending these iniquitous
assaults on our peace and prosperity,
and rehearsing the praises of the wheat
ring which has made the tilllng of the
soil a source of bankruptcy instead of
profit.
Better thousand times to have a
fool as the United States senator from
Minnesota than to entrust the power of
the position to man like him.
fool might by accident be found
sometimes on the side of the common
wealth he represents. 1t would be a
miracle should he always be arrayed
against his constituents as CUsHMAN K
DAVIS has been.

The Democratic central committee has
placed four of the Peoples party cleo

their own electors who have resigned.
This looks Ominous for Republican sue

FOUR LESS FOR BEN.
The four substitutes, who are certain
of being elected by the united vote of
the PopuliStS and Democrats, will never
vote for Harrison or Reid, and if the
Democrats succeed in electing but one
more they will have five out of nine-a
majOrity.-Grove City Times.
A POPULIST VIEW.
The GLOBE frankly admits that the
only reason for substituting the Peoples
party electors was to insure their cleo
ton, knowing that, though they would
vote against Mr.. Cleveland, they will
be equally firm in opposing Mr.. Harri-
son and increase the certainty of his de-
feat. 1t was the most sensible thing the
Democracy could have done, except the
substitution of the entire Peoples party
ticket for IFS own. This exhibition OF

EASY TO SEE WHO IS HURT.
1t is strange, but nevertheless a fact.
that the only class of voters dissatisfied
with the Endorsement of the Populist
electors by the Democrats is the Repub-
lican candidates and leaders. The Pop
ulist electors and voters are glad to get
such large addition to their vote. Dem
ocrats are satisfied to give their votes
for electors WHO will not vote for Hair
rison, but Republican speakers and pa
pers howl and tear their hair over this
little affair. 1t is quite plain obe seen

The Republicans begin to acknowl-
edge the danger which threatens them
in the West.
The Philadelphia Press chooses to
construe the fusion of the Democrats
and the Alliance and Peoples parties in
several Western states as a desperate
catching at the last straw" on the part
or MT. Cleveland's supporters, with a
view 10 throwing the election of presi-
dent into the house where he would
surely be chosen. The Press saws:
IL seems probable that in six states.-Kan-
sas; North Dakota, Idaho. Montana, Nevada
ana Colorado-there will be fusions between
the Democatic and the Peoples parties. and
that the strength of these two parties, so far
as the leaders can control it, Will be cast for
the Weaver electoral ticket. The total elect
U ~ tote OF these six states is twenty-six, and
II lost 70 the Republicans, will defeat Presi-
Gent Harrison, unless he carries New York,
indlana and Connecticut and every state
ne carried in 1883. The enlargement of the
electorai Goiiege to 4i4 members compels
successful candidate for the presidency to
secure 2s3 votes. If no candidate obtains
that number of votes the election goes to the
mouse OF represen tatives, where the Demo-
c Ct nave a majority in the delegations of
thirty states, aud can control the election.
A fusion has been effected in Wyo-
ming since this was written, and the
opponents of Republicanism will, with
out much doubt, be found voting to-
getberin other states when election day
comes
So far, however, from being dies
perate scheme, born of desperate sit
uatlon," the movement for a fusion at
the West, as the World in urging it has
often said, is simply designed to make
the election of Mr.. Cleveland doubly
sure. 1t would be more satisfactory to
elect him by the popular vote, through
the electoral college; and the indica-
tons multiply that this will be there

But the main thing Is to elect him.
When he shall be again seated in the
White house it will not matter much
through which process his election was
secured.
The Democrats will leave nothing
