ABSURD PkkIxssIosS.
pemoefatic organs are making
frantic effort 70 create toe impression
that the calling OF the republican state
convention oy the state central commit
tee u n tas naLare of snap" IL 10
also represented that il u the result
of Rich intsigus 70 eutwlt and defeat
Ping-ee- Both psetsnaons are absurd.
The state centFal committee gave due
notice OF It's intention to meet ~ Min
nespolis and nx the time and place for
holding the aaIe convention. IL 10 IN
dssputaDly true that ths committee Is
composed OF . majority OF men favor
able 10 Mr.. Rich. but they would not
and dare not attempt to take advan-
tage Of their power % thwart the nomi-
nation OF Piugree In snap conven-
tion. These tactics are notoriously
common among democrats, but rspuo-
leans do not resort TO them IN Michi-
gan, New York nor elsewhere. Ii Is
quite true thsft later date would be
more acceptable TO the friends OF Mr..
Pingree, bat they do not presume TO
question the fairness OF tho committee,
nor To cEitlcise It's action in meeting IN
Minneapolis The democratic organs
are ANXIOUS To make 1t appear that
there IS a wide breach IN the party and
that Jealousles and dissertations are rife.
Their anxiety is the only license they
have for saying these things exist.
The republicans have two able mon 10
the field. Sentiment 10 honestly d.
vlced as to which is the ADLER man, and
which the better man to nominate.
The HERALD believes that Mr.. Pingres
is stronger, more available and more
deserving than Mr.. Rich. II therefore
favors his nomination, and, with due
respec: for Mr.. Rich, has repeatedly
stated its reasons for thinking 90. If
either one is successful the party will
be united in his support.
IL the Democrat had circulated in
Minneapolis yesterday morning its hor-
ribls mutilation and butchery Of the
faces of public men would have
stampeded the convention for home.
No euch q collection of awful and
atrocious libels Was ever before crowded
into 90 small . space. The pictures,
however, we're quite a. accurate ~ its
predictions and news report.
DAVE HILL gets in out of the vet in
ample time to avoid being made mon-
key of. There il something grotesquely
funny in the announcement that he
has written . letter Withdrawing his
name from before the Chicago conven-
ton. It's . work Of supererogation.
He never has been in such intimate
"propinquity" to tho place a. to do.
mand action % rash.
MAYOR PINeREE 10 near 70 the hearts
of the veterans. His quiet and unos-
teutatious manner, and withal his
CHEEKY words Of welcome and cordial
greeting to the "old boys" make him
. hero in their eyes. They will unite
IN the demand that their comrada DO
remembered BY the party he has served
20 well.
JOIN J. IxoALLsgrscefuIly arose yes-
terday and corrected Chairman Nc
Kinley on . point in parliamentary
law. The scorpion.tongued ex-senator
may not be y political Splinter in An
alliance state, but - parlismentarian
he has no superiors anywhere.
DrvoHcE cases have multiplied 20
rapidly In Chicago that the lawyers
are clamorinR for moro judges. If this
thing continues Chicago will contain
but few professional mon except law
yers, judges and worlds fair boomers.
BECAUSE an undertaken was among
the Port Jervis lynchsrs envious rivals
declare that he was looking for job.
Queer how sensitive these undertakers
are to the enterprise OF their com
petitors.
EVERY so-called "Blaineiacp will be
found right in line working for the
nominee of the convention. They
fought = good fight and Loot, but now
they will turn in and fight good fight
and win.
Any many who fails to pose - .
dark horse during the present conven-
ton is missing one Of the greatest OPP
| poftunities of his life.
BES will larry at the helm for an
other four years. See?
JIu 10 out of job.
