his handling of the money question, in which he
exhibited several OF the old State bank bills,
won favor with the audience. Mr.. Fairbanks

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Minister Egan had this to
say in regard to recent publications endeavoring
to create a sensation over an alleged attempt on
his part to snub Mr.. Blaine at White Plains:
being called on to speak, without prepare
ton. i omitted to make the reference
that / ought to have made to
the manly and patriotic manner in which
Mr.. Blame stood by me throughout all
the attacks made upon me In connection with
the Gillian affair. One of the greatest
compensations for the difficult time L
had I'D Chill was the fact that my en-
tire course OF action was so cordially
approved by Mr.. Blaine. as well as by the Presi-
dent and all the members OF the Cabinet. From
Maine to Texas there is none who
has o higher respect and regard for
Mr.. Blaine than l have. In fact, my
sentiments toward him amount to az
lection. Therefore. the statement that
intended TO In any way disparage
Mr.. Blaine is made out of whole cloth.
The statement to the effect that I said in Wash
ington that certain dispatches were signed by Mr..
Harrison is on the face OF IL absurd. The Presi-
dent never signs any such dispatches"

BE ON THE LOOKOUT.

FREDERICK 2. BROWN is the reigning
secretary of the state of Minnesota.
The GLOBE uses the word "reigning"
advisedly, because under our constitu-
tion the secretary of state is monarch
superior to law and public control.
One would not guess from looking at
FREDERICK P. BROWN, or from hearing
him talk, that he was popular leader
destined to govern in the councils of
men. But he has two of the essential
qualifications for political preferment
at the hands of the Republican party
he is foreign-born and he belongs to the
ring.
FREDERICK P. BROWN not only
reignS today in the state of Minnesota,
but he aspres to have his dynasty con-
tinued. He is candidate for reelection
in the pending contest. The office of
secretary of state is not most lmpor-
tant one. Its duties are mainly clerical
and routine in their character. Most
men serve their term without attracting
any but formal attention.
A browning act of infamy has made
FREDERICK p. BROWN a conspicuous
figure in this commonwealth. He was
called on to perform one act which af-
forded an opportunity for discretion
and "Reminiscences. He proved him
self unequal to the task. He has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting.
The preparation of the official ballots
to be used at the next general election
is entrusted by law to the secretary of
state. This is non-partisan duty, not
subject to review. and involving no
little responsibility. A mean man could
abuse the power to Cypress and cheat
the people. A true and honorable man
would scorn to prostitute his authority
Tor the preparation of wrong.
FREDERICK P. BROWN is not entitled
to the name of man. He is a mean
creature who has repudiated his oath
of office. He has doctored the official
ballots to gain an advantage for himself
and his party. He has attacked the
sanetity Of our institutions in the most
sacred particular. He has plotted
against the purity of elections.
Let every voter who believes in fair
dealing be on the lookout on election
day. Let him see to it that he puts no
cross opposite the name of FREDERICK
p. Brown. Let him see to it that he
marks the five Democratic presidential
electors whose names appear grouped
together on the ticket, and also the
other four whom the secretary of state,
in wicked violation of law. has scat
tered through the Peoples party list.
The right must triumph.

WHAT IT MEANS.

The following is an editorial from the
Farmers Leader. Pipestone, MINI. This
is an old and staunch Farmers Alliance
paper:
The placing of four of the electors of
tine Peoples party OH the Democratic
state ticket means that the state has bid
good bye to the g. O. p.; that the state
will divide the electoral vote between
WEAVER and CLEVELAND. 1t means
that by the election of GILDA. MCGILI.I-
vRAY and MAXWELL a senator will be
elected to succeed DAVIS, who reported
in favor of extending the Union Pacific
debt 100 years. 1t means that the wheat
combine. which robs the farmer of
every dollar of profit, shall shut up
shop. 1t means that high protection
does not protect the laborer, but robs
the consumer for the benefit of the
manufacturer alone, and shall end. 1t
means that the people have risen, and.
D. their sovereign power, will dethrone
'plutocracy in this country. 1t is a
movement against which no faction or
party can stand.

ballots for the present occupant of the
presidential chair at Washington? 1

representatives. of the Chicago Tribune
when HarrisOn's nomination was tele-
phoned over from the convention hall.
The room was crowded to the doors,
street, and yet in all that crowd
but one solitary individual raised
his voice in favor of the nominee, and
he was drunk. 1t was so throughout
the city. No enthusiasm whatever was
manifested. Curses, deep and loud,
were heard on every side at the action
of the conventional convention claim
ing to represent the people of this great
and glorious country. 1t was solid
South against divided North. The
cOlOred officehOlders under Harrison
dictated to the people of the North the
man they must vote for if they voted
tu0 h6puUllcdfl TICKET.
The colored delegates were bound,
soul and body, by the promise of con-
tinuation in office If Harrison should
again secure an election, and they pre-
ferred to vote for him, and take their
chances on retaining office. rather than
give the masses of the Republican party
the man they wanted above all others.
There is no doubt i'll my mind that
Mr.. Blaine was driven to resigning from
the cabinet through the efforts of the
president and his henchmen in trying
TO compel him to come out and work
for the nomination of Harrison. MIR.
Blaine would not do so. and, after be-
ing bounded beyond endurance, ten
dered his resig nation as secretary of
state, and at the earnest solicitation of
Clarkson. Platt and other prominent
politicians. agreed to remain silent and
accept the nomination if rendered him.
He did not receive the nomination.
He was beaten by the men the Repub-
lican party have made voters of-yes,
officeholders-and they each and every
one of them hold Office in states never
carried by the Republicans, and never
will be, even if this world lasts
a million or more years. The same
measures are being used with MIR.
Blaine today. He is being forced, for
the sake of party, to put in word for
Harrison. Republicans. you who are

nominations, they cannot dictate the

TOOTOUGH TOSWALLOW
N. p. Langford Scores the Re.
publican County
Ticket.
What the Citizens Committee
Thought of Democratic
Nominees.

n. z. Langford, chairman Of the citi-
zenS' committee, remarked to GLOBE
representative yesterday that he had no
hesitancy in saying that the general
makeup of the Ramsey county Demo-
cratic ticket was far superior to that of
the Republican.
81 am a Republican" said he, land
expect to always remain one; but do
not believe in mixing politics with
county and city offices. They are bust
ness Offices, and not political. The cit
zens' committee was organized for the
purpose of taking these matters out of
politics, and securing the election of
the best men without regard to their
political affiliations. If each of the old
parties put i'll the field ticket made up
OF tirst-claSS men. then the citizens
committee would not interfere, but let
them fight it out between themselves.
1t so happens that neither party has put
clean ticket in the field, the Repub-
lican being worse than the Democratic.
But there are some good men on the
Democratic ticket, and our committee
has Endorsed few of them. We in
dOrSed Pierce Butler upon the recon-
mendation of four district judges, two of
whom are Republicans. | wanted our
committee TO indorse Charles l.. Haas
for register of deeds, and so did good
many of our best members. L called
another man to the chair and took the
floor to urge the Endorsements; but the
majority were IN favor of nominating
Nj. j. Bell. We have nothing against
Mr.. Bell. and think he is IA good man;
but we cannot elect him, and so it
would have been great deal better to
have turned our strength into the bal
ance for Haas. We nominated Kahn for
auditor, who, we think, is better than
the Republican nominee for the office;
but the Republican nominee is vastly
better than the Democratic, and some
have thought that our action in putting
Kahn in the field would result in
electing the Democrat. That mat
ter may be considered later, and
it may be that KAN will withdraw; we
do not want him to. however, unless
there is risk of bringing ON such calam-
ity by keeping him in the field. IL gave
an interview once before upon this sub
Ject- and was taken severely TO task for
it by the Pioneer Press; but the COM
mittee unanimously bore me out in the
position, Mr.. Cochran, Merrill, and
other men of equal prominence who
have always been Republicans, being
very outspOken in their support.
After all do not know but it would
be good thing if Burns and Howard
should be elected; it would wake the
people up so that it would be a good
while before such nominations as these
could be worked into either ticket
again. Gen. Grant said that the best
way to dispose of bad law was to en-
force it rigidly; so it might result in
benefit to the community if few such
men were elected just once"
