He Doesn't Like the Position
OF His Party on the
Tariff.
Senator Frye Chills a Hand
full Of People at the Ex-
position.
His Remarks, Devoid of Both
Wit and Sense, Fall
Very Flat.

Cne by one the sheep that have been
wandering in the wilderness of false
political principles of Republicanism
are emerging Oh the open plain of po-
!iticaI righteousness and seeking the
fold where the food of truth is abun-
dant.
The GLOBE has the very best author
lty for announcing that Judge John p.
lea is not the only Minneapolis Repub-
llcan OF national prominence who is
convinced that the Republican party IS
no longer the party of the people and
good government. Right here in Min

Judge John P. Rea has already given
the reasons for the faith that has arisen
i'll him.
Were he to define his political position
Hon. John b. Gillian would voice
practically the Same sentiments as
Judge Rea, aud would take his stand
alongside that eminent juriSt and high
minded gentleman.
Hon. j. b. Giltiltal has not been act

lie Is not seeking pJ.,,ic... no.nriety
now. He is undoubtedly uI /, "...ti.on
that he has right 10 cast his t..>. for

does. Especially is the public interest

MI. Gllhllan Is not shouting his polit-
zeal beliefs from the housetops. II is,
however, fact we'll known to his init
mate friends that he will vote for Gro
yer Cleveland and the other Democratic
candidates. especially those running OH
national issues. The reasons that I'M

are the same that have actuated the

ranged themselves in the Democratic

Democrats. Register To-day.
Hon. }. B. Gillillan's new position is
equally as significant as that OF Judge
Walter Q. Gresham. Judge Thomas
Cooley, Wayne MacVeagh and Judge
Rea. Mr.. Gilfillan was for years Il con-
spicuous figure in the Republican poll
tics of Minnesota. Through one term
he served the Fourth congressional dis
trict Of Minnesota in the national con-
gress. His Republicanism has never
been questioned. 1t cannot be said of
him that he is "a disappointed Office
seeker" or "a sorehcad," as has
been said Of others by bitterly
partisan organs. He has been honored
by public office when he would accept
Public office has been forced upon him.
He has been out of the active fight for
several years. Now. as a private cti-
zen, though eminent, he chooses to rec
OgniZe the false policy of the Repub-
llcan party and espouse the cause of
the people.
Mr.. Gilfillan will vote the Democratic
ticket Nov. S because he believes that
the Democratic party is right on the
issues now before the people.
