j. A. BEARD.
Chairman of Democratic County Committee
Senator Hill is now making South
ern tour, and his boom is growing.
j. X. Moore, formerly of the St.
Peter Tribune, was appointed clerk to
the supervising architect of the St.
Paul government building, last Satur-
dap. j. X. is getting taken care of in
his old age, after his faithful service
as a newspaper man.
The Pierce County, Wis, Herald
has the following to say of Prof. j. T.
McCleary, of Mankato:
Prof. J. T. McCleary, one of Pierce
county's most promising boys, is
prominent candidate for Congress ov-
or in John Lind's district in Minnesc-
ia. He ought to have the nomination.
He is, and always has been, straight
forward Republican, he is honest, he
is able and he is loyal to his friends.
He would make worthy successor of
John Lind and legislator of whom
Minnesota would we'll be proud. Sue
cess to our old friend McCleary
It is the boast Of the Democratic
majority in the House of Representa-
tives, that the democracy in twenty
eight states have pronounced for free
silver coinage in their platforms. In
view of this, Mr.. Cleveland will have
hard work in defending his candidacy,
in case he is nominated, as he is plain
ly on record as opposed to free coin
age. The ex-ppsident has recently
signified his willingness to accept the
nomination if rendered him, but that
appears to be pretty large if at pres
ent.
Seven of the Worlds Fair buildings
are now so far advanced that they are
fast assuming the appearance of fin
ished structures. The rough carpen
try work on them is practically done
and the ornamental and finishing work
is in progress. These buildings are
the Woman's, Horticulture, Transport
alton, Mines, Administration, Forestry
and Fisheries. Five more-the Gov
eminent, Fine Arts, Agriculture, Dairy
and Illinois State-are erected to the
roof lines. The Electricity, Manufac-
lures and Machinery buildings are be-
ing advanced rapidly.
nexchange describes the candidate
of to-day as one who must "compro-
mise his principles, pretend to be
friendly and familiar with men he de-
spises, and in accord with their opin-
ions when he is not, visit saloons, treat
and drink with every hanger-on, who
has vote, and do other things which
ought to be beneath the man of self
respect" This is one kind of can
didate, no doubt altogether too COM
mon, but we must protest that it is
not the only kind. To aspire to pub
lie preferment is not necessarily I'M
manly or mean, and voters are not al
ways such fools as to put men with
those characteristics in positions of
trust and preferment.
Harpers Weekly: 1t is quite pa
thetic to see how resolutely the news
papers that wish to see Mr.. Cleveland
nominated insist that he will be. We
should gladly see his nomination, but
as honest observers and reporters of
the signs of the times, we cannot pro-
fess to accept it. If the Democratic
party were solely intent upon tariff
reform, sound currency, and r.
formed civil service, it would, of course.
nominate MIR. Cleveland. But it has
other purposes than these, while Mr..
Cleyeland's views upon some of these
questions are not those of his party
That is the reason, not the force OF
personal jealousies and intrigues, which
seems to us to make his nomination
improbable.
