HOT SHOTS AT THE SAGE.

Donnelly said in speech at Forest
Lake that Jim Hill had offered him
100000 to pull out of this campaign.
Mr.. Hill showed very little business sa-
gacity in offering that sum for what a
MINNEAPOLIS jury had valued at just
and only 81. Possibly Donnelly was
only ragnaroking. Possibly, also, all
these fierce denunciations of Hill find
their source of dislike in that rejected
offer of Donnelly's to the railroad king,
made when Ignatius was seeking the
Office of surveyor general for this state
from Mr.. Cleveland, that if Hill would
indOrSe his application, 81 will stand
between you (HilD and the farmers, and
be the buffer" Most anything, except
truthfulneSs, is possible with Donnelly.

In speech at forest Lake few days
ago DOnnelly said that Jim Hill offered
him 100000 to pull out of the race. Is
there any one innocent enough to
believe that if Hill offered him that
amount Or the half or the quarter of it
he would not take it? Why, if $4,000
were offered he would accept it so quick
it would make Sims head swim. No.
he told that lie simply to make capital
out of it, thinking that some of the
farmers in his audience might believe
it. No, Donnelly never refused that
amount, you can depend on it; he isn't
built that way.-Dakota County Tri-
btine.

FOR PRESIDENT
GROVER CLEVELAND,
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
EDLAi E. STEVENSON.
GOULD AND THE WABASH.

There is food for a good deal of re-
Fiction in the announcement that JAY
GOULD has again secured control of the
Wabash railway system. In the first
place, the entire West will feel the eff
fectS of the move. 1t means, in all
probability, that the Wizard will use
the Wabash to further his favorite de-
Sign OF diverting traffic from the Chicago
gateway and sending it 10y way of st.
Louis and the Missouri Pacific. I'm
questionably, by thus making the Wa
bash direct feeder for the Missouri
Pacific, Mr.. GOULD can make a stong
bid for much OF the traffic which now
passes east and west via Chicago. He
can make rates via Toledo, Detroit and
st. Louis which the Vanderbilt Ii ne
and their Chicago connections will
find it hard to meet. Very possibly he
would wreck the Wabash again in thes
course of his manipulations, but there
would be nothing new or unusual in
that. He wrecked this long-suffering
road once before, and thereby added
appreciably to his many millions. The
eOad is now recovered sufficiently to
make it worth Mr.. GoULD's while to
give it another squeeze, and. since he
can at the same time advance the inter-
ests of his pet Missouri Pacific system,
the prevalent rumers regarding his de-
signs on the Wabash seem worthy of
entire credence.
The whole notwithstanding the form
er connection of GOULD with the Wa
bash and his present reported designs
furnishes remarkable example of the
tremendous power reposing in this man
and his money. He can make and. I'M
make great railway systems at will. He
can turn the small stockholders and
bondholders to the wall with the scratch
Of pen. He can change the current Of
east and west traffic so as to excite the
alarm of even Chicago, great and mighty
and arrogant though it be. His power
is too great, his millions too many, for
the good of the country. 1t isn't an
archy and it isn't socialism to say that
there should be some safe limit to one
mans ability to possess wealth; it is
only plain common sense.

THE RIVER OF DEATH.

In 1882 there was large band of In
dians encamped on small stream in
Northern Georgia. not far from Chatta-;
nooga, Tenn. The cholera broke out
among them. and all who were at
tackled died. the medicine men CT the
tribe being unable to cope with such
frightful enemy. a regular physician,
was called, who Informed the medicine
men that the disease was Asiatic chol-
era. ''Oh, no." replied the wise me L.
lit is not cholera; it is DEATH" II
believe physicians will say the same
thing when il has progressed beyond a
certain point. The Indians named the
stream Chicamauga = the River of
Death. They were soon thereafter re
moved. and on the same stream in 1863
the battle of Cbicamauga was fought.
wherein $4,000 men were killed and
wounded, and so it became the second
time the River OF Death.
The great mortality attending this
disease results from the neglect OF per-
sons having all the symptoms to call in
their family physician az once. My ex-
perience teaches me thaa it runs its
course very soon. When it was preya-
lent i'm Nashville in 1866 we had Ian ge
number of NEGROES digging graves. One
dug a grave in the forenoon and was
buried in it in the afternoon of the same
day. Should we be visited by cholera,
my advice to all persons is torsend fer
physician at once. Do not trust to
remedies that do not have the approval
of some physician in whom yes have
confidence. r. W. Johnson.

cleveland will carry New York by a

said Hon. j. Russell Parsons, the dis
tinguished and we'll known attorney of
Hoosick Falls and Albany, N. Y. who is
now in this city attending to his duties
as counsel for the Walter A. Wood Har-
vester company. Mr.. Parsons has long
been one of the leaders of the Empire
state Democracy and is close friend of
Chairman Edward Murphy, Lieut.. Gov.
w. F. Sheehan and Senator Hill. Pre-
vlous to the Chicago conven-
ton Mr.. Parsons was an advo-
cate of the nomination of his
friend. the distinguished bachelor SEN
ator. but when that great council of the
party rendered its decision he became
as earnest in the advocacy of Mr.. Cleve-
land as he would have been had the re-
suit been different.
''The Democratic party of New York
is in splendid condition." said Mr.. Par
sons. 1.-The organization is almost per-
feet, and every element of the party
will be in line for Cleveland. The idea
that Senator Hill, MIR. Murphy, Lieut..
Gov. Sheehan and their friends would
sulk in their tents is absurd. They are
ail'DemOcrats and good ones. too. Sem
ator Hill will take tine stump and deliver
series of speeches that will demolish
the last hopes the Republicans have in
this contest. The elections in Vermont
and Maine show conclusively that the
popular drift is toward the Democratic
party, and nothing can stay it,"
The New York Democrats are TAX
ing great interest in the campaigns in
the Western states, are they not?' was
asked Mr.. Parsons.
1.-The Eastern Democracy is keeping
an eye on the West" was the reply,
not, however. because they expect to
need the votes of these Northwestern
states to elect Mr.. Cleveland this year,
but for the simple reason that they
think the issues are such as to make
the Western states good ground to cul-
tivate. The interests of the states that
are almost purely agricultural will GER
tainlY make them Democratic in the
near future. and every Eastern Demo-
crat desires to see that time arrive"
During the past few weeks Mr.. Par
sons has been travelling a great deal,
and has found the Democrats every
where enthusiastic and working. The
lively campaigns in the Western states
he regards with great deal of salts
faction, and, while not willing to ex-
press an opinion as to the prospects in
them this year, expects great results in
the near future.

which you p.esIded, and of which am for

Over the telegraph wires comes the
news that Mr.. CLEVELAND is busily
preparing his letter of acceptance.
There are all sorts of speculations rs to
what it will contain. The Democracy
is satisfied that it will be honest in tone,
sound in doctrine, fearless in express
sion. 1t is sure of this because it has
faith in its author.
This will be good as far as 1t goes.
But would it not be wise to have it go
not too far? Would not a few brief,
plthy sentences cover the ground, in
happy contrast with the exhaustive and
undignitied verhosity of MIR. HARRISON?
How would the letter of ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN do for model? After no one
could statesman of these days pattern

ton over many rivals whose skirts were
clean shows the temper of that body. 1t
did not admit that the farmers COM
plants had any basis. 1t held that the
existing condition of affairs was free
from fault.
Finally, the Democracy of Minnesota,
like the Democracy of the nation, stands
for lower taxes. The man who supports
NELSON indorses the proposition to ex-
empt the mineral wealth Of the state
from its just share of the states sup
port. He indorses the corrupt lobby
which last session successfully resisted
the repeal of the present Ubiquitous law
on this subject. He Endorses the cor
rupt lobby which last session secured
the passage of the constitutional amend
ment to be submitted to the people this
fall. and the purpose of which is to
legalize this wicked measure. and also
to free the railroads from the percent
age tax which they now pay, and which
is so satisfactory source Of revenue.
Against all such designs the Democracy
is unalterably arrayed, and it asks and
deserves the support of all honest peo-
pie who believe that the favoring of
classes and particular interests is UNI
just.
A vote for the Democracy is vote
for the right.

STATE ISSUES,
~ s
Will you help?

The GLOBE has given already from
time to time many of the reasons why
Mr.. NELSON is not worthy of popular
support. Now it gives some of the rea-
sons why the Democracy should be put
in control of the states government.
The Republican party has been in
power in Minnesota for more than
quarter of a century. 1t has supplied
the incumbent for every Office with
hardly all exception for this length of
time. In some cases the same man has
been reelected term after term. In
other cases he has yielded only to name
some friend and retainer as his sue
ccSSor.
Were the Republican party above re-
proach it would be time for change.
No private corporation would tolerate
the continuance of the same management
over long period without occasional
examinations of its books to see that
everything was all right. To have the
books of public Office examined there
must be change of parties. Republic
ans never investigate Republicans.
Abuses are concealed and condoned,
If the records are to be overhauled, the
Democracy must do it. The records
ought to be oYerhauled.
Besides this. the Republican party
owes it to itself, if it cares for its own
healthy development, to defeat its pres
ent state ticket, and this, too, quite ire
spective of the character of the candi-
dates upon it. The Republican party
hac fn ho ~ t.
has become selfish, domineering ring.
The voter had no voice in either its last
or its two previous conventions. Even
the uniformed outsider could predict
with the utmost accuracy long in ad-
vance who would be named for every
Office. The same crowd which put
MERRIAM at the head has now selected
NELSON to wear the collar. If the plain,
everyday citizen wants hearing in its
councils. he should speak UP at once.
Let him rebuke the bosses by voting for
the Democracy. 1t will teach them a
lesson they will not forget. A Repub-
lican vote for LAwLER at this time need
not mean disloyalty to Republican prin-
ciples. 1t would mean only adherence
of un-Republican methods.
Whoever believes In the regulation of
public corporations and the enactment
| of measures for the relief of the farmer
element should support the Democratic
ticket. There is nothing to hope for in
this direction from the Republicans.
All the influences which surround Mr..
NELSON favor corporations. He is a
poor man who has depended for his
livelihood on the bounty of railroads.
His nomination was dictated by the
moneyed barons of the state. The Re-
publican candidate for the attorney
generalship is the same man who con.

ToNIGHT,S MEETING.

c. S. BARROW, of Chicago, will adj
dress the Democracy of st. Paul and
everybody else who cares to attend at
Market hall tonight. He is an earnest,
forceful, witty and eloquent talker. He
has studied profoundly the issues of the
hour. and made wide reputation for
himself by the breadth of his intorma
ton and his power of happy expression
He understands what he is SAYING, and.
says it well.
The GLOBE hopes that the party viii
turn out in force. The Republican
meeting of Monday evening last was a
failure in point of attendance. as well
as in everything else. The hall was
only half full, and the audience was
cold and unresponsive. 1t will be a
great encouragement to the leaders Of
the Democracy if Its rally proves
success in every sense of the
word. There are men who. having
made up their minds to vote for
CLEVELAND and LAwLER, feel that
they have nothing else to do. They do
not care to hear further arguments
because they are convinced already.
With clear conscience they sit back
and take no part in the active work of
the campaign.
Such men are making mistake.
Their duty is not complete when they
have determined Oh the right course for
themselves. They owe it to the truth to
cooperate in its propagation. If they
have the power of tongues. they should
hol ha adu IF
they cannot do this, they should argue
quietly with their neighbors on the
street and at the resorts, in the hope of
saving here and there a soul lost in the
darkness of protectioniSm. To equip
themselves for efforts Of either sort,
they should not fail to take advantage
of such occasions as tonight. And apart
from this, they should be on hand to
generously applaud the orator and to
strengthen the wayering and the doubt
full by the influence their partisanship
will carry.
The GLOBE also hopes that theIwaver-
ing and doubtful and everybody who is
not Sodden in his attachment TO the Re-
publican party will attend tonight. TIM
CAMPBELL once defined the tariff as a
thing Of duty and jaw forever, and
some people in this community are tired
of its discussion and want to hear moth
ing more about it. Let such make one
exception. Let them listen to Mr.. OAR
ROWS mastery analysis OF the question
and new light will break upon
them. They will see that economic
problems are dull only when treated
by the incapable. They will find that
in the hands of the competent they are
alive with interest, many-sided and de-
lightful.
Let us have big meeting tonight.
Let all Democrats go. Let all men who
are open to conviction go. Let every
one who heard Mr.. BURROWS Monday
last go and hear The other side. Let
every one who did not hear Mr.. BUR-
ROWS go, and at least hear the Demo
cracy's side. We shall not have many
opportunities this fall for enlighten-
ment from the stump. Let US miss none
of those which we do have.

COURAGE and activity will surely
carry Minnesota for the Democratic
candidates this fall. The Republican
plurality two years ago was mere bag
atelle in comparison with former Re-
publican victories in this state. The

Republican high tax policy. The cam
