The View OF Travellers on the Re.
publican Platform.

"If | were citizen OF ST. Paul
would vote regardless, Of party 10 rebuke
the men who are guilty Of giving the
city the black eye that the Republicau
platform makers did In The resolutions
which were adopted at their convention
last Thursday" said f. l.. French. the
well known banker OF WahpetOu, y.
d.. al the Merchants last evening.
And so would !, ~ remarked John A..

paper in the city that supports ticket

and more honest man was never made

well" remarked w. A. Barr. the
we'll known attorney OF this city, There
is one good thing about ii all, and II is
that the ticker nominated on that tissue
OF SANDERS will be showed out OF sight
at the election"
II Is safe to say that the credit and
standing OF 81. Paul was never before
i'm its history dealt such blow. A
falsehuOd travels 50 much more rapidly
than the truth that the entire country
is already talking about the terrible
condition Of 81. Paul. In Minnesota
and the DakOtas. where the excellent
standing ~ st. Paul is well known. but
little damage has been done, but in
more distant states, where the people
are not acquainted with the wild desire
OF a gang Of local schemers 10 get into
office, this tissue OF falsehOOd and cal
umny IS destined 10 do great
injury TO the city's interests. Every
visitor to st. Paul remarks that the
city is In direful condition II the Re
publican platform Is true. good
illustration of the way this is regarded

MacC Ormack OF Grand Forks yester-

mistaken or the Republican platform

This feeling amoug the people from
outside the city Is a fair index Of the
sentiments OF the people Of st. Paul.
On every hand staunch Republicans
can be found who DO not hesitate 10 de-
nounce both Col. Wright aud platform.
They are found among all classes OF the
people from the humblest tOller TO the
business man and capitalist. OppOsI-
ton TO the Prohibition 80 Republican
ticket and platform is placed on the
ground Of loyalty 10 the city, and the
people of ST. Paul have more than once
in the past demonstrated that at times
like this they DO not recognize party
lines. One OF the most prominent on
cials of one Of the railway lines which
centers m this city, whose name. by the
way. is withheld for that reason, said
