artless Wadena county contemporary
proposes to elect its five Republicans.
In many respects the principles of the
Democratic and Peoples parties har-
monte, but in scarcely a single particu-
lar do the principles and purposes of the
Democracy agree with the avOwed
tenets of the Republican party. Fusion
between Democrats and Populists is in
many cases natural and commendable
because of an identity of principles
the two parties being in practical agree
ment, for Instance, on the tariff and
force bill issues. But fusion between
Democrats and Republicans, even in
local electio rs, would be as grotesque
and lncongru Gus Gass the mating of fish
and fowl, or any other anomaly in
nature. 1t would be utterly indefensi-
ble-a shameful surrenderipg of princi-
piles for spoils. Wadena Democrats
should dismiss with the scorn it de-
serves the suggestion that they fuse
with their arch-enemies, even on the
magnificent basis of receiving two offices
out of seven.

SELECT GOOD MEN.

An election is approaching for men,
bers of the legislature and county Off
GERS. While it is important to every
citizen Of the county that the Offices be
filled by only thoroughly competent and
honest men, of the more than $4,000
voters in Ramsey county not 1000 of
them care a fig what particular persons
fill the Offices. Not one-twentieth of
the voters are offieeseekers, or have any
interest in who fill the offices so long as
they are well. faithfully and honestly
filled.
The GLOBE desires to emphasize the
above fact, and it desires to emphasize
this further fact, that the people of
Ramsey county will demand that only
good men-men of approved honesty
and capacity-be placed in nomination
for the respective official positions.
1t will be useless to nominate un-
worthy candidates this fall; it will be
labor-in-vain to pack caucuses for the
nomination of such characters. The
people Will not elect them, and the
GLOBE will join the people in rejecting
them.
Ramsey county can be carried for the
Democratic ticket, from CLEVELAND
down to the most humble position. But
it cannot be done with ticket that does
not possess the unqualified confidence
of the people of the city.
The ticket must he composed of clean
men of sound Judgment. 1t must be
equally strong in all its parts.
Those Democrats who are seeking
nominations on the theory that NOM
nation is equivalent to an election, re-
CARELESS of the character of the NOM
ineeS, make grave mistake. A bad
nomination will be equivalent to defeat.
More than 10 per cent of the voters of
this county are unattached to any party
for thick-and-thin support. This class
are neither officeseekers nor are they
interested in the emoluments of office.
But they will determine at the ballot
box who shall fill the offices for the next
two years.

clares That He Is Still on Earth.
The Sage of Nininger, who has been
rusticating at his country home in Da-
kota county for nearly month past, is
neither sick. dead, nor dying, and in a
very humorous letter, which will be
found below, he serves notice that he
will be heard from in the near future.
Of course this letter will spoil MANY
columns of ''bot stuff" ON fusion which
is stored up in several newspaper Of
fees, but the Sage evidently did not
care much for that. The letter follows:

Fight for Minnesota.

New York World.
tits plain that Minnesota is good fight
ing ground for the Democracy this year.
A large majority of its people are with
the Democratic party on the issue of
tariff reform. They are chiefly farmers.
They are intelligent beyond the COM
mon. They see clearly the evil effects
of high tariff upon their prosperity.
Nearly all of the voters opposed to
RepubiieanisIn are of one mind on the
real issue of the campaign, and the Re
pubIicans themselves have shown their
appreciation of the fact by nominating
a pronounced tariff reformer for gov
ernor. 1t only remains to unite the ma
jority, by fusion or otherwise, upon
single electoral ticket, and prosecute
the campaign of education with vigor,
to win this additionally Republican but
strongly tariff-reform state. To make
the strongest possible effort is more
than polite. 1t is duty.

Cuts the Clerks Salaries.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 12.-The strict
enforcement of the anti-lottery law, aad
the consequent exclusion of lottery mat
ter from the mails, has reduced the
revenues of the postoffice S103, 900 per
annun. Last month the receipts from
money orders, postal notes, etc., fell
materially below the amount of the
salaries in the department. The result
has been that the postmaster has re-
ceived instructions from the postmaster
general to reduce the salaries of all the
clerks in that division.

A UNIQUE FUSION SUGGESTION


The most novel fusion proposition yet
advanced IN Minnesota is that which
contemplates fusion of Democrats and
Republicans against the Populists in
Wadena county. The scheme is seri-
ously and earnestly advocated by the
Wadena County Pioneer, the leading
Republican organ. There are seven
county officers to be elected, and the
Pioneer thinks ''the Democrats would
be satisfied with two" On this division
OF the spoils it urges fusion, ENORMOUSLY
asking: SPY what other arrangement
could five Republicans be elected so
easily?"
II Wadena county Democrats are of
the right metal. almost any other method
WILL be easier than the One whereby our

Fourth District Republicans to
Meet at Lindstrom Sept. 3.
The Republican congressional con-

LIndstrom in Chisago county Saturday,
Sept. 5. This was decided at a meeting
OF the congressional committee held at
the Windsor hotel yesterday morning.

On the contrary, the representation was

The meeting was late in commencing
work. and when it did get down to bust
ness only nine of the committeeman
were present. A majority of these nine
were friends of Hon. E. Fl. Rogers. who
desired late convention. The friends
OF Col. Kiefer were headed by Hon. F. C.
Stevens, who moved that the call be
issued for Aug. q. Mr.. Reese amended,
fixing the date for Sept. 10. This was
not satisfactory to Mr.. Stevens. who
claimed that with the bitter contest now
on delay like this would be fatal to all
prospects OF election. Mr.. Reese pooh
poohed the idea of there being any
heart-burnings, and moved Sept. as a
substitute, which was adopted. AS a
matter of fact the Rogers men had no
intention OF working for the later date,
but merely made the bluff for the pur-
pose Of gaining more time.
