mot So Far .Apart!o

The magnificent send-offs Mr.. S.
NJ. Owen is receiving from the old
party press at this time is something
truly astounding. The New York
World (dem.) gave him over a col
umn last week, III which he was per-
mitted to criticise the democratic
party in that style which admonish-
es them how to meet the issues of
the day, and is a practical invitation
to do SO. Did any one ever hear Of
a political opponent being invited
to enter the columns OF a political
paper, air his antagonisms, however
mildly, and yet not a solitary line
in reply?
Last Sunday the St. Paul Daily
Globe, (dem.} copied the World in
terview, word for VOID, and at
tached thereto no defense OF democ-
racy! But in it's editorial columns
it lauded Owen as ''intelligent, con-
SENTATIVE, clear and vigorous" 1t
then goes on to explain that Ovens
criticisms apply only to a few rich
men in the party, and ends off with
this sublime expression:
"Mr. Owen had better formulate
his platform and then measure 1t
with the democracy's doctrine.
They may not be far apart
Well, we think not. That is Just
what we have always maintained
That kind of a platform would not
do for the peoples party. In the
same Globe the Currier railway bill,
and authoritative, etc., are called
"foolish and impossible pieces OF leg
islation.' 1t did not mention that
they seemed to work well enough in
Iowa!
Mr.. S. M. Owen stands solely be-
fore the people as the low-tariff edi-
tor OF an agricultural paper with a
circulation of from Il, 900 to 10000
copies. He came to Minneapolis
from Chicago, where he was in bust
ness, and from Toledo to Chicago,
were he was also in business. We
are doubtful if Mr.. Owen ever worked
a day upon farm. His being
thrust forward with tremendous ap-
plause, as the standard bearer of the
alliance in 1890, after the Hompe-
Halls conference with him at Ferpus
Falls, q month before the convention
met, was one of the most successful,
cleanc cut and level headed plans ever
devised and executed by political
wire-pullers. AS to the peoples par
ty, he never has. and does not, stand
upon'its platform in n solitary es-
sential plank. And there never has
been an hour when he was not
pushed to our front by the pluto
cratic old-party papers-in city and
country.

The republicans in the state are all
at sea in regard to their guberna-
torial candidate. They read the
signs of the times and therefore know
that the peoples party will name the
next governor OF Minnesota. Some
time since they hit upon a clever
scheme-captu, ed ''fresh banana. -
The plan was to give Knute Nelson
the republican nomination for COVER
nor and thereby, buy all the Scandi-
navian votes of the state. But they
counted without their hosts, for the
Scandinavians have everywhere re-
sented this imputation that they are
''voting cattle" rather than intelli-
gent American citizens. And every
where the Scandinavian alliances are
adopting resolutions pledging them
selves to vote for no man even
though he bear the name OF Lind or
Nelson, unless he stand squarely for
the peoples cause upon the peoples
party platform. Consequently the
.''reps" are run down at the heel, and
cannot settle on their "best man."
