but the entertainment of DISTINGUISHED

The convention itself bids fair to be
one of the most exciting in the history
of the Democratic party. At the outset
there will be vigorous contest over the
delegation from New York. The adher-
ents of Grover Cleveland have taken the
position that the February convention at
Albany did not fairly represent the De-
mocracy of the state-that it was called
too early to obtain an honest expression
of the will of the people and that it's
action ought to be ignored. At the Syr-
acuse convention on May 81 this senti-
ment found formal expression.
Senator Hills supporters, on the other
hand, insist that the midwinter conven-
ton was regular in every respect, and
that the date was agreed to by the
Cleveland men on the state committee.
They will stubbornly resist any recog-
milton of the contesting delegations, and
very hot and bitter fight is expected
both in committee and on the floor of
the convention. The outcome will have
a very important bearing on the selec-
ton of candidate. Should the regular
delegation win, Senator Hill will hold
the seventy-two votes of New York state,
and ex-President Cleveland will have to
be placed in nomination by delegate
from some other state. 1t is believed
that Wisconsin will champion his cause.
and that the orator for the occasion has
already been agreed upon in the person
of General Bragg, author of the now
historic phrase that 1--WE love him for
the enemies he has made"
But the fractional differences in New
York have led many conservative Dem
ocrats to look around for some outside
candidate. They think the dispute has
become too bitter to allow of a compro-
mise, and that the nomination of either
Cleveland or Hill would result in the
loss of the Empire State. There is
abundant material from which to select
another standard bearer. Iowa has
placed the name of Governor Boies be-
fore the country, Illinois is half pledged
to Senator John NJ Palmer and Senator
Voorhees, looks upon Indiana's indorse-
ment Of Gray as sure prelude to vic
tory. Then there are German of Mary
land, Russell Of Massachusetts,, Pattison
of Pennsylvania, Carlisle of Kentucky
and Campbell Of Ohio, all sturdy, repre-
sentative Democrats, with more or less
following beyond the bounds of their
own states.
With such an array of names to choose
from it can be readily imagined that the
Democratic national convention of this
year will prove interesting in high de-

Accepted as an Amateur.

r. B. Wade, president of the Yale Track
Athletic Association, has written public
letter with reference to the withdrawal of
the protest entered against Evins, the
Harvard hammer thrower and shot put
ter.
The affidavit of Evins disclaiming pro-
fessionalism, forwarded to the associa-
ton, is accepted as proof of his amateur
ship. Mr.. Wade'sl er reads as follows:
hear there has .en some misunder-
standing in referenc. to the protest en-
tered by Yale against Mr.. Evins, of the
Harvard athletic team. The protest was
made simply to test the authenticity of
some reports sent to us. The Harvard
management has made everything salts

Mr.. Evins.

To popularize Foot Bali.

The New England League has hit upon
a novel plan to interest the public in the
foot ball game. It was suggested that a
committee be appointed whose duty it
would be to pick from the best foot ball
organizations the cream of the players in
such number as to make two distinct
clubs. They would be called professionals
and upon notification from manager,
who would also act as an advance agent,
they should be ready to play in any town
or city. The plan has not yet matured,
but certain is it that shortly the
players will have been chosen and the
first game will be played in Fall River.

The New rriples wheel.

W. F. Murphy is the proud owner OF
the only triplet wheel In this country at
present. This is then fast wheel which
we hear so much about and which is said
to be the fastest wheel in the world. 1t is
of English make and is creating much
stir in the cycling community. Murphy
is expecting before the season is over to
make his mile in 2.10 with Zimmerman
and some other well known rider in the
rear. This is the time that the English
men claim has been made on the triplet
by the riders Arnot, Dangerfeld and
Lowe on the road. But it seems almost
impossible that such can be the case.

OURPOsTOFFICE APPROPRIA-
TTON

The statement of the Pioneer Press to
the effect that Kansas City received a
two-million-dollar appropriation for a
public building from the Fifty-second
congress, while st. Paul got nothing,
is like all the rest of that sheets cam
paign material-a brazen and wanton
falSehood. 1t is not true, and the Pho
neer Press knew that 1t was not true
when it said it.
The Fifty-second congress made no
appropriations for public buildings any
where. Had it made any, st. Paul
would have been the first city TO have
received the benefit of its bounty.
The FIfty-second congress made no
appropriate rs for public buildings be-
cause there was no money in the ma
tional treasury which could be used for
the purpose.
The billion-dollar congress which pre-
ceded it had, under the leadership of c.
K. DAVIS in the senate, and of THoMA>
B. REED in the house, squandered
the country's revenues until the danger
of deficit stared 1t in the face.
The responsibility for st. Paul's fail
ure to receive an increased appropria-
ton last summer for its postoffice build
ing rests on the shoulders of the reek-
less Republican spendthrifts who con
stituted the majority of the Fifty-first
congress,

confident will be the case. This pre-
diction is not mere guesswork, but is
the result of careful examination and
compilation.
''On Oct Q, our headquarters sent to

mate of tine vote for presidential

of the state. and, after figuring the

Chairman Thorn says:
Il am not giving any figures, but L

state tickets. The legislature is fight

vantage of an unfair apportionment.

less than seven out of the

today John l.. Mtchell's defeat would
be certain. | make these statements
upon assurances received from every
quarter of the state. Wisconsin Is
soiidIy Republican upon the tariff. On
the currency issue the Democrats will
lose votes.
Il nave reason to believe that Sena-
tor Spooner's vote will be fully up to
that cast for the Republican electors.
He will receive large number OF Dem
ocratic votes fran people who admire
him as statesman with brains, IN

to get all the Lutheran vote back. We
have reasonable faith that percentage
of it, good majority, will come back
to US now that there are questions of
business prosperity at issue, and local
questions have been eliminated. The
stay-at-home voters will come out, and
the Republican vote will be at least
fully up TO that of 1885,"
Wisconsin votes for twelve preslden-
| tial electors, a governor, full state
ticket, ten congressman, by districts,
sixteen state senators and all members
! of the assembly. Seventeen state Sena-
| tors hold over, fifteen of whom are
| Democrats and two Republicans. The
| legislature will elect a United States
senator to succeed Senator Sawyer
| (Rep.). The Republican candidate for
| governor is ex-senator John c. SpooneI
and the Democratic candidate is George
| w. Peck, present incumbent.
The vote will be compared with that
of 1883. when Harrison received 176. 55S
and Cleveland 1929. a Republican
| plurality of 21,32l. A full vote will show
an increase of about $4,000 voters in
the state over 1883. Milwaukee city
registration shows an increase OF TO-
900 over that year. Other heavier IN
creases will come from Douglas, Ash
land ano Bayfield, counties.
Peoples and Prohibition parties are
of little significance In the contest. In
1888 Hoard Rep was elected governor
by plurality of 2o,273, and in 1890
Peck (Dem.) was elected by plurality
of %, $50, the Lutheran school question
figuring prominently i'll that content,
and the results showing that about 40
| 600 Republicans in the state did not
vote at all. With favorable weather
there will be large vote cast tomor-
row.

VOTE FOR YOUR STATE S
BEST INTERESTS.

BENJAMIN HARRISON must not re-
ceive the electoral vote of Minnesota.
The principles Mr.. HARRISON rep
resents are directly opposed to the in
terests of this state. They would make
the rich manufacturers of the East
richer, and increase the hardships
against which the farmers of the West
are struggling.
The protected plutocracy of the East
is alive to its danger, as its enormous
campaign contributions to the Repub-
lican party attest. The agricultural
Northwest must be alive to its interests
also, and respond with an incorruptible
suffrage to this audacious attempt to
purchase continued immunity for
band of pillagers and eXtortionists.
Whatsoever his past party affiliations,
every citizen of Minnesota who puts the
welfare Of this state above considera-
tions of regard for the tariff barons of
the East will vote today against the
HARRISON electors. He will make his
vote in opposition to McKinleyism most
effective by voting for five straight
Democratic electors and for the four
electors upon whom the Democratic and
Peoples parties are formally united.

VOTE YOUR HONEST CONVIC.
TIONS.

Men are moved by widely varying
right of suffrage.
Not few OF the vast array of Amer
lean voters acquire their political views
by inheritance, and follow with unrea-
s0ning, unqueStioning faith in the foot
steps Of their SireS and grandsires. Such
men are not the safeguard of honest
government.
Others there are who originally de-
termine their party affiliations for them
selves, but do so from motives of self
interest, and with but secondary re-
gard for the general welfare. They
may vote for the correct principles;
but, if so, it is merely a coincidence,
and not the result of unprecedented OBJ
servatiou and deduction. ManifeStly
they are not the safeguard of good gov
eminent.
Some men put party above patriotism,
above principle, above reason. 1t is
their boast to render blind obedience to
party dictation, without reference to the
issues or to the candidates. 1t is again
clear that such men are not the safe
guard of sound government.
But the men who are partiSans from
clearly conceived convictions; who de-
termine their party preference from un-
prejudced scrutiny of the men and
measures at issue; who thoughtfully
examine and compare the fundams entail
doctrines Of the various political parties,
and exercise their right of suffrage in
accordance with their patriotic con-
illusions as to the greatest good to the
greatest number-these are the mer
who conserve the interests of good
government, and constitute the safe
guard of the republic.
Look before you leap. Think before
you vote. Be of the class last above
named. Be partisan from principle
not from selfshness or prejudice. You
know the issues and the men to bt
passed upon today. Vote your homes
convictions regarding them. that the re
suit may represent the best judgment O.
the majority, and as such be cheerfully
acquiesced in by patriotic minority.

In 1888 HARRISON was elected on a
platform demanding tariff reform by
the friends of the tariff"
The Republicans redeemed the pledge
which they then made to reduce the
burden of national taxation by the
enactment of the MCKINLEY bill.
The MCKINLEY bill provided for
schedules of impost duties, the highest
ever imposed OIL its people by civilized
government.
In 1892 HARRISON is running for the
presidency on a platform which de-
clares that the heavier the protection the
greater our prosperity.

THE GREAT IslUE.

The Republican efforts to- shift the
issue have notsucceeded. The one para
mount question before the country to-
day in the national contest is the tarif
question. The people of Minnesota are
called on to say whether we shall have
gradual reduction of taxation or addi-
tional duties on every commodity we
have to buy. Nobody claims that pro-
lection increases the price of wheat,
and Oh the price of wheat depends the
prosperity of this state. No one can
honestly contend that protection in
creases the wages of the workingman.
The people who raise wheat. the people
who trade with those who raise wheat,
and the people who work for wages
constitute an overwhelming majority of
the voters of Minnesota. If they are
alive to their own interests the Democ-
racy will carry the state.
