it would hav1Hended to Offset the influ-
ence Of the Minneapolis convention,
which promises to be the biggest ever
held in the country, and in Milwaukee
it would have done much to hold Wis
consin to the record made last fall. but
in Chicago its effect will amount to lit
tie or nothing. Il is quite apparent
from this therefore that the selection is
to a considerable extent mistake.
Then too, it has demonstrated, beyond
a doubt, the relationship that exists be-
tween Mr.. Hill and his accidencY, Gro
yer Cleveland. The two are no longer
secret enemies, but the Democracy can
hereafter reckon that what suits one of
these two leaders will surely call forth
the bitter antagonism Of the other. This
perhaps, more than anything else, will
indicate the result of the next election.
Milwaukee was a Cleveland town and
will regret the action of the committee
on that account more than for any fnan-
cial or business reason. And so, no
doubt, with others of the aspirants. The

aging to most Democrats, and Repn biz

SAME THING OVER AGAIN.

BY a stroke of political scheming that
challenges admiration for the quiet and
shrewd manner in which it was mani.
pulated, Chicago gets the Democratic
convention and st. Paul, Milwaukee,
Cincinnati and Indianapolis are endea-
voring to accustom themselves to soup.
Each of the latter cities went before the
committee with moderate following
and each was buoYed up with suf1ici.
encY of expectancy. Chicago was not
considered a candidate at any time and
probably was not, but the eye Of Hill
and his supporters had singled it out
as the place, best suited to their inter-
ests, SO that, when it came down to
business, the contesting cities were wo-
fully surprised to see in what direction
the strength OF the committee was
pointed.
The balloting was peculiar and anus
ing. Chicago was the objective city
from the start, but in order to keep
good feeling the willy 'scocks.of-the-
walk gave each of the hopeful candl.
dates the empty honor Of a compliment
tary vote. Taffy was poured on first
this town and then that, each taking the
lead on different ballots. but, by The
thoughtful disposition of Mr.. Hill, none
were allowed to secure enough to elect.
Then after each had been fondled lit
tie, the Hill forces centred on Chicago
and gave the convention 20 her without
any trouble.
The immediate result of this unlooked-
for outcome of the Washington meeting
will be a little dissatisfaction, perhaps,
among the people OF the defeated cities,
but that will soon blow over A Dem
ocrat can be made sorehead for 4 mo-
ment without much trouble, but it
doesn' t last long. In fact, as the story
goes, small tights amongst them only
seem to engender more of the same
breed.
Among the great mass Of non-parti-
san voters, however, the Democrats, it
would seem, have lost an advantage by
holding the convention in Chicago. In
city Of that size, such meetings can be
held and the political effect is small. But
in cities Like st. Paul and Milwaukee,
they awake enthusiasm which naturally

who have been giving publication to the
statement that Congressman Lind has to
look after the claims of all the old SOL
dlers in Minnesota, give me an incurable
pain. If Congressman Lind has the en-

Congress to whom Minnesotians can look
for relief, why is it that the republicans
OF his own district are SO aggravatingly
complacent in accepting his premature
declination to run again. AS a matter
of fact | apprehend that Congressman
Lind is just about as good and not a
whit better than the average Congress

the party to which he belongs, and new

startling or original. The men who are
trying to make him out greater than

lMlSJUDGED rs usual

Oyer in Nico llet last week aman died
who had two weeks previous been an
inmate of the insane asylum at St. Peter.
His face was disfgured as the result of
something and to first appearances that
something was nothing less than lnhu-
man abuse. His friends grew suspicious.
The idea OF i'll treatment grew to pro-
portions, and an inquest was demanded.
When the coroner told them that such
step was unnecessary and that the
cause of the disfguration was apparent,
they turned their distrust on him and
with it the accusation that he was in
league with the arch fends who pre-
side over the institutions for the care of
these who are bereft of reason. They
grew determined. The matter must be
proved to the bottom, they said, and
this terrible instance of human cruelty
brought to the knowledge of the public.
Well, to satisfy them, the inquest was
held. A post norton examination fol-
lowed and by PROCESS, simple and plain,
the physicians showed how no blows
had been dealt by heartless attendants
and that the designation was clearly
the result of erysipelas in a virulent
form.
And this is but one instance, perhaps,
of numerous other cases in which the
hospital managers have been hastily
judged and consequently abused.
Friends of inmates are moved with COM
passion for their unfortunate fellow be-
ings and that compassion tempts them
to forget to see the many circumstances,
leading to mishaps, over which the
managers have no control. To imagine
that any being about hospital is so
lost to human feeling as to disfgure a
patients face. and break his nose is pre-

a CLEAN CANDIDATE.

There is call this year for clean can.
didates. The voters and workers fol-
party success have grown tired of pur.
suing line of defense, and there is q
rum bling foreboding in the air that no
more personal interests shall receive re-
cognition. What is wanted are nominal
tons that without persistent defense,
will command respect and defy the
tongue Of abuse and raillery. All parties
have such men, and politics for the well
fare of the common veal demand that
they should be the ones to be honored.
Being a presidential year, many can
didates, who would ordinarily be treat
ed to proper defeat, could perhaps be
carried on tho wave of enthusiasm or
the popularity of some presidential can
didate to the haven of success, but this
prospect should not lead any party into
making the test. In cards it is we'll
enough to occasionally risk much on a
poor hand with one or two good trumps,
but in The game of politics it doesn:t
pay Not that it might not succeed,
but it never work wonders, and that
plan is much better which provides for
presenting a front that is strong and
honorable all along the line. Then
there is no necessity of drawing upon
the strength or admirable qualities of
one candidate to cover up the defects Of
another and the contest need not be
made with half the caution and defense,
bat on the contrary with confidence in
every auxiliary and enthusiasm along
every line OF attack. Instead of apollo
gies, there will be determined antagon-
ism ;instead of defense there will 5e bold
and earnest opposition; III place of de-
feat, victory.
For the last few years the Republicans
of Minnesota have looked for, success
in excuses. They have held good cards
but they did not know how or otherwise
were afraid to play them; they have
had signal opportunities to strengthen
themselves in the selection of candi-
dates, but it is the rule and not the ex.
ception that they have unemployed
them. This year they should attempt
an improvement. The year is a
grand one, the harvest is ripe and the
incentives are plenty. They were
wronged and misjudged last year, but
daily events show that this will be
good one in which to he corrected. They
had many poor candidates last fall, but
if they are careful they can make selec-
tons hereafter, that, coupled with the
name of the nations brilliant secre-
tary of state, will win back all former
prestige. They will have Blaine to lead
them, and united work. bold stand and
disregard of bossism will claim for Re-
publicanism a surfeit of laurels. Is it not
worth while then to pursue the right
track and stand by principles that have
made this nation '.mightiest among the
