REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State Central com:
mittee has issued it's formal call for a
state convention to place in nomina-
ton candidates for state officers. The
date fixed on is Thursday. July 2Sth,
and st. Paul the place. Under the
provisions of the call this will be the
largest body of delegates ever conven-
ed for the purpose indicated. The
basis of representation has been fixed
at five delegates at large from each
county and one delegate for each 500
votes cast for the Republican candi-
date for president in 1888, and one
delegate for fraction thereof over 100,
making total number of delegates
in the convention of 709.
Under this apportionment Blue
Earth county is entitled to twelve
delegates and the Second COMPRESSION
al district will show up with total
of one hundred and thirty-nine votes,
or nearly one-fifth of the entire
strength of the convention.
The Importance of the approaching
election calls for the exercise of the
greatest wisdom on the part of those
who shall be selected from the various
counties to name the candidates who
shall be presented to the people of
Minnesota for their suffrage. With a
ticket that shall contain the names
of men of acknowledged worth there
need be no apprehension as to the re-
suit in November But if there shall
be any attempt to foist upon the peo-
pie candidates whose public records
are not free from all possible faint, or
whose private regulations are not alb
solutely clean and above criticism
beware.
Personal wishes for ambitious poll
ticians who cannot stand the pene-
trating light of vigorous campaign
must be waived, and men must be
chosen to the convention who will
rise to the dignity of the occasion and
exhibit that broad sentiment of pat
riotism which has characterized party
deliberations in the past and made
success possible in the face of strong
and determined opposition.

THE sub-treasury scheme seems tic

THE sub-treasury scheme seems tic
be bearing it's fruit in this state, and
the Alliance people are not going into
the fold of the Peoples party as qui-
city and gently as the managers had
hoped. The Alliance leaders are
violently opposed to the sub-treasury
scheme, and do not propose to be made
tail to Donnelly's kite, and the pre-
sent indications are that the Alliance
will not allow itself to be swallowed
by the Peoples party, but will put q
state ticket of it's own in the field. II
is also said that matters will be CARR
ed farther than the state ticket, and
that in congressional districts where
the Peoples party candidate is OBJ
noxious to the Alliance, or stand upon
the sub-treasury scheme, another can
didate will be named.

clear-cut platform utterances of the
Republican party have struck a pop
lar chord. They deal with live ques-
tions in a manner that has grown
popular with the people and the rec
ord of President Harrison's admins
tration has created confidence with
the people, that if given new lease
of power they will be fully redeemed.
1t will be hard fol. Democracy to
match this platform in clearness and
still harder, in the light of its past
record, to create one that will excel
it in popularity, while the record of
the present House has been such as to
destroy the confidence of the people
in the ability or desire Of the Demo-
cratic party to look after the best in
terests of the country.

THE sub-treasury scheme seems to
be proving snag likely to give the
Peoples party considerable trouble.
Gen. ]. H. Baker, of this county, was
in st. Paul yesterday and in CONVEX
sation is reported by the Pioneer Press
as saying that he did not think the
Peoples party would accomplish
much in this congressional district
this year, because of the sub-treasury
scheme, and intimated that it would
be the death of the party. He fur
ther intimated that the platform
agreed by the congressional conven-
tion had been dictated by outside par
ties, the outside parties, of course, be-
ing Donnelly, Fisk, ct al., and that he
could not accept congressional nom
ination upon it, SO he wrote letter
to the chairman of the congressional
committee ordering that his name be
withheld. He said: 81 was willing
to stand on the platform of two years
ago, but l was not prepared to en-
dorse the new one. Donnelly's CROWD
had full control of the convention
/ am an Alliance mana non-par
tisan one, but not a sub-treasury
man. The more conservative farm
ers are Alliance sympathizers, but
they are not going to be drawn il
with these radical and wild fanatics.
He also stated that he should not at
tend the state convention as it would
be controlled by Donnelly and b,
thought Donnelly would be nominatet
for governor. The cry of the adher
ents of the Peoples party against tn
old parties is that they are cOntrollet
by bosses, but it seems that the new
party is as completely in the shackle
of boss as the old ones were ever &C
cused Of being.
Gen. Baker after following afte
false gods for couple of years un
doubtedly sees the folly of his way
and is getting ready to drop back int
the Republican party where he vii
feel more at home, and from whic
hehad never ought deserted.

A STRONG effort is being made by
goodly number of the representative
Republicans of the Third district to
gain the consent of Hon. Joel P. Heat
wole to the use of his name for con-
gress. If Mr.. Heatwole will consent
to make the race there is no doubt
about his nomination. And more
than this, there is no question about
his election. While the popular edit
or has been frequently mentioned in
connection with the gubernatorial
nomination, he has wisely maintain
ed neutral position on this point up
to date, and is therefore free to per-
NIT his friends to use his name in
either connection as he may see prop
er. The FREE PRESS, in connection
with the newspaper fraternity of Min
nesota, would like to see Mr.. Heat
wole's abilities and sound Republican
ism recognized in bef1tting way by
the party. 1t would seem at this
distance, and in the face of existing
circumstances, that the Third dis
trict Republicans need his magic per-
sonality to lead the congressional
fight to victory, and if Bro, Heatwole
shall yield to the pressure of his
friends in that field to fight the good
fight, we have the utmost faith
that the district so long and so honor
ably represented by that old war
horse, Major Strait, will be redeemed
to the Republican hosts. Mr.. Heat
wole in Congress would be the right
man in the right place.

Gov. Mckinley in his speech at
Minneapolis, said that since 1875,
when the Democrats first came into
control of the House, the Democrats
has presented three great tariff bills,
all of which were different. Each
one had different free list and a diff
ferent protected list. There was
nothing in the three to denote what
their settled policy upon that ques-
was was. They will now be forced
to make another change and present
their so-called reform views to the
country upon a new basis. No one
knows what that basis will be. Prob
ably those upon whom will fall the re-
sponsibility Of framing them are in
the dark themselves. But certain it
is, that whatever line they take,
could it be put into practice, would
completely upset the business rela-
tions of the county, and cause months
to elapse before they could be adj
justed into new groove.
