The lust Force of Caucus Instructions.

That the members of the legislature are
i'm duty bound to obey the instructions given
them by the caucus or the convention which
places them i'm nomination seems to me so
clear and unmstakable as to hardly admit
of discussion. Upon large number of
questions it may not be practicable for them
to know, except in general way, what the
wishes of their constituents are; and in such
cases they have only to act as they deem
most in accord with the principles and policy
of their party. But when the sentiments Of
their constituents have been expressly con-
veyed TO them in definite instructions, by
resolutions adopted at the time of their nOm-
ination, and by the men who placed them
i'm nomination, 1t seems to me they have only
two honorable courses to choose between,
either to decline the nomination, IL the in
structions are distasteful to them, or, accept
ing the nomination and securing the cleo
ti0n, Loyalty to carry out the expressed will
of the constituents to whom they owe their
position. To hold the contrary of this, and
maintain that the instructions of caucus or
of convention have no binding force upon
the representative to whom the instructions
were given, is not only subversive of party
discipline, but of party honor.
The considerations have practical peril
nency in connection with the choice OF
United States senator by the incoming legis-
lature. Quite number Of the representa-
tives and some of the senators-elect accepted
their nominations under direct instructions
from the conventions which placed them in
nomination. That these instructions ex-
pressed the well defined and thoroughly
understood will of the party does not admit
of doubt, when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that the question Of who should

to the hopes and fears of the

four years the millionaires of the
republic vacate the throne, and the
masses of the people are for one
brief moment recognized as the
fountain Of power. When the
election is over, however, the reins
fall back into the hands of plu-
tocracy and the drive toward the
devil continues with constantly ac-
celebrating speed. From now un-
til next November we must look
for the customary amount of taffy

ers, the skilled mechanics-those
who are indefinitely and obscurely
classed under the sounding title Of

ST. PAUL Times. One of the ex-
ceedingly strange things about the
McGill boom is that the very men
who are now leading the shouting
are the very men who knocked him
out Of his second term when he
could have had it without there
being any serious trouble about it.
They let that opportunity pass.
What the people want to know is
why they did not shout for their
friend then? The same reasons
must have existed then that exist
now for their support. But in the
hour of McGilrs greatest need
they turned their back upon him
and rallied to the support of Mer-
r1am. Now they suddenly dis
cover when too late that Mr.. Nc
Gill should have had second
term. Probably this is so, but the
opportunity to give it to him has
passed.

The Anoka Herald is of the
opinion that Hon. Albert Schefer,
of St. Paul, would make an excel
lent State treasurer, and that the
Republicans could not do better
than nominate him for that posi-
ton. The UNION heartily seconds
the Herald's motion. Now is the
time for the friends of the genial
and sympathetic Scheffer to rally
to his support. In the days of his
prosperity he numbered his friends
by the thousands; the opportunity
is now offered those friends to
prove their devotion to him. The
present incumbent, Mr.. Bobleter,
has held the office long enough,
and he should be willing to step
down and out at the end of his
third term. 49,,

JAMES S. CLARKsoN he whom

JAMES S. CLARKsoN, he whom
the Harrison organs delight in
maligning, is a clear-headed sensi-
BILE Republican. Talking about
the great strike at Pittsburgh, he
said Carnegie's vast fortune had
been made by his workingmen and
he had written much about the re-
sponsibilities of wealth. Now was
his opportunity to sustain his rep
utation as a philanthrophist. His
workingmen must be right in their
contentious. There had been no
such convulsions in business as
could possibly make these great
reductions necessary. It is the
greed and avarice Of millionaires
like Carnegie that will make a pro
tective tariff odious to the laboring
men. The advice of Gen. Clark
son should be needed.

up, and they were all for Kendall.
The chairman Of the county committee
called the convention to order and 8
searle man was promptly nominated
as temporary chairman. a Kendall
man was also nominated but the chair
man refused to listen to his name and
declared the Searle man elected. al
though a show of hands showed that
Kendall had 20 and Searle but IA dele
gates. The committee on credentials
then got In it's fine work, unseating as
many Kendall men as possible and
furnishing credentials to their friends
from some precincts that were not
represented. Even then Kendall had
a majority, but what did the chairman
care for little thing like this? He
took list OF delegates from his pocket,
read off the names, and declared them
elected, adjourned the convention
and left the chair. This did not suit
the twenty-nine majority, and they
proceeded to organize and hold another
convention. The following delegates
were elected: Hon. J. T. D. Sadley,
VIM. McCuaig, r. Bailey, e. S. Clinch,
Jas. P. Mitchell, ]. L. Wilbur, Hans p.
Lund and Frank w. Hankinson.
These delegates were instructed to
vote for Hon. Fl. G. Kendall by the fol-
lowing resolution: Resolved, that it
is the sense of this convention that the
delegation vote for the Hon. H. c..
Kendall as a anaidate for member of
congress from this district and that the
chairman of the delegation be author
lied to cast the vote of the delegation
to that end.'
Hon. Fl. G. Kendall was in the citv
yesterday and he said that the Searle
convention was an outrage mingled
with farce. No attempt was made to
observe any rules or precedents. That
the Searle mon just did as they pleased
and hurried along to the end without a
semblance of order. While deploring
the fact that his learned opponent
should stoop SO low as to try and steal
the nomination, Mr.. Kendall feels per-
fectly satisfied with the outcome in
