That great newspaper conducted
with mastery ability and with great
circulation like the New York Sun

tential influence. especially during "a
presidential campaign, no reasonable
person Will deny. 1t was in 1888 that
the Sun, inspired by the editor-in-chief,
Charles A. Dana, pursued an unrelent-
ing and malignant personal attack upon
Grover Cleveland, during that presiden-
tial campaign. That the malevolent as
saults which the Sun made upon Mr..
Cleveland contributed to his defeat has
become political history. While the
Suns tactics during the recent cam
paign were somewhat different and
more cowardly in its methods toward
the Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, nevertheless its policy was in

the great standard bearer Of tariff re-

than half million majority have repu-

this has occurred and the loyal and pat
rotic press of the country choose to
criticise the Sun for its disloyalty to
the party whose principles it pretends
to spouse the Sun retallateS upon its
Journalistic brethren with venomous
personality characteristic of its editor

president-elect. Not content with pour
ing out his walls of wrath upon the
fearless Democratic journals with
in the confines of his own
state, he takes delight in finding
a subject for his malignant perSe-
cutlon in the North Star state. 1t was
soon after the election, that the st. Paul
GLOBE took occasion to justly reDuke
the apostate Dana, whereupon, the sun
seeks to find consolation IN making
cowardly and malicious attack upon the
editor of the GLOBE. Lewis Baker, VINO

central committee. Whatever this vile
miscreant may assert, and however
often he NAV rciterate the as
sertion regarding the chairman OF
the Democratic state central COM

mocracy in this state.
All things taken into consideration,
the Democrats Of Minnesota made gal
liant and heroic contest; every inch was
fought against fearful odds: the Demo
Gratis nobly contended for the mastery,
and were not completely vanqulSned.
They have perfected better organlza-
ton than has heretofore existed. They
have plumed themselves for another
political bout with the general feeling
that a complete victory awaits them in
1894. This splendid condition of affairs
is not alone due to any particular DEM
ocratic leader. Many prominent Demo-
Gratis, as we'll as ye0men i'll the ranks.
are entitled to just recognition for the
good work which has been accomplished.
But to Lewis Baker, the chairman of the
Democratic state central committee, is
there Justly due merited praise for his
personal services and generous means
contributed; and also for the patr!otic
work which was rendered during the
long presidential campaign through the
columns of the st. Paul GLOBE, over
which be presides. To MI. Baker and
to J. P. Smalley, the able and efficient
secretary CT the state committee, is the
Democracy of Minnesota under lasting
obligations for the laborious work which
they accomplished. thus preparing the
Democratic party of the state in fight
ing order and ready and anxious for
another contest with its political oppo-
nentS.
"Give honor to whom honor is due"
while the disgruntled and mendaclous
New York Sun may continue its vitu-
perative and senseIess attacks upon
loyal opponents of the great Democratic
party. The Sun does not shine to meet
the appreciation of the Democrats Of the
North Star state.
