JIM, PAT AND THE IRISH.

A statesman like Mr.. Blaine ought to
know better than to be talking about
the Irish vote" to begin with. The
Irish vote is cast in Ireland.-Provi-
dence Telegram.
The extreme friendliness of Mr..
Blaine toward Pat Egan recalls that
they have both choice investments in
South America. Politics makes strange
bedfeilowS, but when a man like the
plumed knight hangs upon the back of
a man like Pat Egan there exists an af-
finity never born of politics.-Detroit
Free Press.
As the lrish-AmericanS are chiefly
wage earnerS, who are vitality concerned
in plan of reform which will vastly
augment the purchasing power of their
savings, 1t is not likely that they will be
alIenated by infiammatOry appeals from
a party with which they have become
largely allied from proper motives Of
self interest .-Kansas City Star.
1t was a great concession for him to
make when besought to give the influ-
ence of his voice to the campaign for
the election of the man who had humili-
ated him. And it was cruel to allow
Egan to snub the eX-secretary so bluntly
by declaring on the same platform that
whatever credit there was in the Chill
affair belonged to Harrison.

STATE PRESS TIPS.

That the choice of the Democratic state
committee in placing four Populist electors
on the Democratic ticket to fill vacancies was
wise move is evinced by the disgust of the
Republicans. The Pioneer Press says it's
real mean," and the little fellows echo the
complaint. Dodge County Record.
The battle is not always won by heavy fir
ing. The Republican party of Minnesota has
hide as tough as a rhinoceros. A little STRAIT
egg and common sense at times is worth
more than mailed host. Chairman Baker
and the state central committee exercised a
fine bit of discretion last week, and the g. O.
p. is staggered so that it won't get over it this
year All it can say is: where are we at?'
lie Sueur Sentinel.
We would not be at all surprised in view
OF the action of the Democratic party on the
presidential electors mentioned elsewhere,
to find Republicans of the state sacrificing
Knute Nelson in order to save the state to
the national Republican ticket. Harrison,
and his friends are far more concerned for
the electoral vote of this state than they are
to see Knute Nelson Installed in the state
capital. Take our word for it that things
are beginning to look more squally for
knute, and he runs a first-clasS chance OF
getting badly left.-Delle Plain Herald.
The Demo Gratis of Freeborn county treated
the Populists very handsomely last Satur-
day. Realizing that the most important
issues are embraced in the legislative and
congressional tickets. and approaching that
the Populists have Endorsed Capt. Harries,
they yielded everything else and nominated
all the Populist candidates. This ought to
give Capt. Harries practically the united
vote of the two parties, and insure the cleo
ton of Edward w. Knatvold and Elliott Ash
to the legislature. County Stand

best Of the three candidates in the field at
present. there will be great cleaning out of
the Augean stables at the state capitol. There
are many voters in Rice county who are be-
ginning to think ii is about time that some
changes in our court house ring would not
be improper. No man has a right to feed al
the public crib until he gets too fat. or think
that the crib is his special property. Our
government was founded on the principle
that no man should have a life tenure in

THE ELECTORAL TICKET.

The rank hypocrisy of Republican
leaders is forcibly illustrated by their
attitude on the fusion question.
In the South they advocate and prac-
tice fusion or the Republican and Peo-
pies parties against the Democracy,
while in the North, and particularly in
Minnesota, they express high moral
horror at the outrageous subversion
of principles and patriotism which they
assert Democratic opulist fusion to be.
This high-fiowH hypocrisy will deceive
no one. Its but foolish, shambling sub
terfuge to conceal the fright into which
the Democratic Endorsement of four
Populist electors has thrown the bosses
of the Republican party in Minnesota.
No intelligent man, be he Democrat,
Republican or PopuliSt, sees in the i'll
dOrsement of these four electors any
abandonment of the principles of
Democracy. Both Democrats and Pop
ulistS are unalterably opposed to the
robber tariff and the ubiquitous force
bill, both of which are represented in
the candidacy of BENJAMIN HARRISON.
One way of defeating BENJAMIN HAIR
RISoN is by securing majority of votes
in the electoral college for GROVER
CLEVELAND. Another way of accom-
piishing the same end is by insuring
minority Of the votes of the electoral
college for BENJAMIN HARRISON. How
ever sure of success by the first method,
the Democracy does not propose to neg
lect the second. By both methods, and
in each and every honorable way. the
continuance of Republican supremacy
must be opposed.
No Minnesota Democrat who has the
welfare of his country and his party at
heart. and whose hopes center in the
candidacy of GROVER CLEVELAND, will
fail to vote for the four Peoples party
electors Endorsed by the Democratic
committee, as well as for the other five
electors OIL the Democratic ticket.

cial primary is secure. Nothing in the world
can wrest it from you while America con-
tinues to fetter her own strong hands and
arms, and with these fettered arms is content
tocompete with you, who are free. in neutral
markets. And as long as America follows
the doctrines now known as those of fair
trade you are perfectly safe, and you need
not allow, any of you. even your lightest
slumbers to be disturbed by the fear that
America will take from you your commercial
primacy.
The question is, therefore, one of ver-
acity or of judgment between MIR.
BLAINE and Mr.. GLADSTONE. Assum-
ing that each speaks only his honest
Judgment, is it not natural to suppose
that MIR. GLADSTONE has, in the course
of his sixty years of public life in Eng
land, reached better understanding of
British interests than Mr.. BLAINE
could reach in the course of coaching

Sioux FALLS, S. D., Oct. 22.-Not-
withstanding the report telegraphed
from this state last night to the effect
that fusion had been accomplished be-
tween the Democrats and Independ-
ents of the state, such is not the case.
There has been no fusion of any nature
on the state or electoral ticket. Today
was the last day under the law that
Withdrawals could be made or other
names substituted. and not name on
either the Independent Or Democratic
ticket was withdrawn. This places the
three tickets squarely in the field to re-
main until the close OF the polls on Nov.

the Democratic executive committee.
returned this evening from attending
meeting of that body at Mitchell. He
is emphatic in the statement that there
has been no fusion and will be none.
The numerous breaks lately made by
the Republicans have been the means
of strengthening the Democratic state
electoral ticket, and the fight from now
on will be made with firm determine
ton of downing the Republicans.

CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENT.
ATIVES

The success and influence of the
South i'll national legislation is due to
two things. 1t always returns Demo-
Gratis to congress, and, having once
selected man of ability and strength,
IL continues him in Office as long as he
is willing to serve. Even an alert and
adaptable intellect cannot master the
problems of statescraft and the econo-
mics of method in a term or two. 1t
takes more than that length of time to
get in touch with ones constituency
and to learn the secrets of effective ac
ton. The North, and particularly the
Northwest, weaken themselves by the
righteousness which they display in
congressional elections. They seem to
tire of a representative, no mat
ter how worthy he may be, at
the first opportunity, and to hun
ger for new names and a con-
slant change. Nothing could be more
unwise. A district which is as tickle as
some in Minnesota have been in recent
years deprives itself of a spokesman by
the course il pursues. While the South
erH representatives work zealOusIy and
calmly, feeling sure of their positions,

BLAINE AT OPHIR FARM.
Written for the Globe.1

r1tten for the GLOBE.
/ will sing short refrain,
Bout our old friend. Jimmy Blaine.
Who was trotted out to help dying cause;
And the ancient spawned steed
Was propelled by Whitelaw Reid,
The man with such immense and tireless
jaws.
Pat Egan was on hand,
Jist arrived from Chill land,
And Jim and he paraded arm in arm;
The papers mostly state
That the time they had was great.
Way down at Whitelaw's home at Ophir
Farm.
They had Irish stew for lunch.
Real shamrocks by the bunch,
And everything decked out in proper form;
Mr.. Blaine wore Irish frieZe,
Mr.. Reid told campaign lies,
They were after Irish votes at Ophir Farm.
Hung high upon the wall,
Was harp from Tara's hall.
That Whitelaw had secured from his friend
Pat
There was linen from Belfast,
Which was made in ages past;
In the center of the table. Grandpa's hat,
There were forty shades Of green,
That was easy to be seen. "a
No effort made Hibernia to disarm;
Jim Blaine looked very sly, =
Egan winked the other eye.

I'm alive and we'll again,

The neighbors. far and near
Came, the great statesman to hear
(For many meE on Jimmy strangely dote),
To list what he should say -
On the issues of the day;
They were not concerned about the Irish
vote:
For what did people care if
The English spoke of tariff:
Such arguments for them had little charm, 3
Every such deep-hidden thrust
Filled their hearts with keen disgust;
They were hopping mad that day at Ophir
Farm.
Yes. the song cute Jimmy sang,
Proved worthless boomerang,
And raised throughout the land q sudden
storm.
For the Irish know their biz.
Let Jim Blaine attend to his.
I. were better he neer went to Ophir Farm.
The day has long gone by
When the anti-EngliSh cry
This scarecrow often flung in Irish face
Will swerve them cen little,
A single jot or title.
4 nd God forbid that such should be the case !
The Irish love this land,
And its institutions grand
Nor wish their prosecutors aught of harm;
In the coming ballot fight
They will strive TO do what's right.
But will take no coaching from the Ophir
Farm.

ELasT NIGHTS MEETING.

The Democratic rally last night in
Minneapolis was stupendous. What
shortcomings it had were the shortcom-
ings which are of necessity associated
with magnitude. Every seat in the vast
Exposition hall was occupied before
the meeting opened, and by 9 o'clock
even standing room was no longer avail
able. AT this hour the uniformed clubs
began to arrive and begged in vain for
admittance. Thousands of eager people
stood outside and were addressed by
speakers from temporary platforms.
Under such circumstances, the distin-
guished strangers whose presence had
so much to do with the size of the gather
ing did not undertake to discuss the is
sues of the hour except in the briefest
and most general way. They told of the
faith that was in them in courageous,
simple words. and carried the tidlngS of
high hope from the quarters of the
country they had visited. Occasions
like that of last night are rare. They
are not adapted for purposes of argu-
ment, nor for the conversion of the
doubtful by force Of logic and reason.
But their effect is none the less tremen-
dous. Never before in the history of
Minnesota have so many men and
women assembled in public place to
honor Democratic candidate or listen
to the presentation of the Democracy'S
cause from Democratic orators. Sell
dom before IN the history of the
United States has there been anywhere
gathered at political meeting larger
and more enthusiastic crowd. These
things have great significance. They
mean that the voters of Hennepin
county are reused. No apathy turks in
its clear air. The masses are thinking,
are eager for instruction, and are in
sympathy with the efforts the Democracy
is making to spread the truth. The
GLOBE hopes that it will be possible to
derive similar encouragement from to-
morrow's rally in st. Paul. From what
ever point of the compass comes the
news, its burden is to the same select.
The state is on fire with zeal for CLEvE-
LAND and LAWYER. Let Ramsey
county show that she is not behind her
fellows in interest and devotion.

PROSPERITY INDEED,
Wheat Touches the Lowest Point
Ever Recorded in st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct. 22.-The lowest
quotation ever recorded on wheat since
st. Louis became leading market was
recorded today. The price, which has
been on the decline for some time past,
dropped today to 665s cents. The bears
have for some time believed that they
were on the winning side, but so sharp
a decline had not been expected. The
crop this year, although fair, is below
the average, and the European demand
has been heavier than had been counted
on, owing to the poor crops in the wheat
growing sections of Europe. The direct
cause OF the low price seems, according
to the prevailing idea, to be that farm
ers who have been holding back their
grain have suddenly released it,fiooding
the market in consequence.
