SOME OF DONNELLY'S CLAIMS

Mr.. Donnelly and other People lar
ty speakers claims that there are 3D.
900 millionaireS in this country. These
figures are used by Mr.. Donnelly in a
way to impress people that they are
oppressed and downtrodden, and that
these comparatively few men possess
about all of the wealth of the cOun-
try. That Mr.. Donnelly does not be-
lieve anything in this, but cunningly
twists these figures so that he may
stir up prejudice and discomfort in a
way that personal benefit may be OBJ
tanned therefrom, is shown by the fol-
lowing which we clip from the Rock
County Herald:
No one knows better than Mr.. Don
nelly himself that the statement he
makes in relation to millionaires with
such plausible pretenSe of honesty is
absolutely false In one of his speech
eS recently his statement was disput-
ed by a gentlemen in the audience
and statistics were presented which
Mr.. Donnelly could not deny. He
frankly and cheerfully acknowledged
his error, but the next night before a
new audience, he repeated the same
old lie with all the assurance of man
who honestly believed that he was
telling the truth.
But there are not 81, 900 millionaires
in this country, The New York Tri-
b,nae has been making an investiga-
ion in this direction, and spent much
time and labor to make it as thorough
and complete as possible. Not only
has it labored to find the number of
millionaires, but also to find the cause
of their wealth-whether it was gath
cred in protective or unprotective in
duStries. 1t does not claim that its
list is absolutely correct, but it does
claim that the errors that have been
made in one direction will be balanced
by those made in the another.
That is, if it has here and there miss
ed man who is millionaire, it has
in its list, one who is rated too high.
1t found that in the whole country
there were 4,226 millionaires. Oh
these only about 1,2O6 obtained Their
wealth through protected industries,
and great majority of these secured
large part of their wealth in unpro.
tective lines. 1877 became rich in cat
tie raising and the manufacture OF
patent articles and medicines, while
some 1882 obtained their wealth in
occupations that are not protected al
all.
The Tribune figures may be scoffed
at by the calamity shriekers but theil
mere assertions unsupported by any
facts will not overthrow them. Lei
them go to the trouble, labor and ex
pense in gathering proof to their as
sertion's that there are 81 900 million
aires in this country, that the Trib,ua
has been in its research, and thei]
claims will be entitled to more weight

A NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY

The Democrats have had much to
say about the partisanship Of the Re-
publicanS in regard to the judiciary,
and the people this fall will have a
chance to see which of the two par
ties are best in practicing what they
preach. The Republicans have al
ways advocated a non-partisan judic-
larry, because they believed such a
course to be for the best interests of
the country. Their views were car
ried out in the recent state cOnyen-
tion by the nominations made, The
judges whose terms will soon expire
have discharged their duties to the
entire satisfaction of the people, and
with credit to the high position they
occupy. Although one of the three is
Democrat, the party did not take
this into considerations simply noted
their ability and fitness for the posi-
tion and renominated them without
question.
Now what are the intentions of the
Democrats who have bad so much to
say of non-partisanship as connected
with the judiciary? They have taken
no positive action as yet because their
convention has not been held, but it
is we'll known that their program is to
nominate for the positions, Judge
Mitchell, who was renominated by the
Republicans, and Messrs. Buck and
CAVITY. These gentlemen are all Dem
ocrats, and such a move well illus
trates the non-partisan tendency of
Democracy, and yet they howl
about the narrowness of the Repub-
licans.
Contrast, if you please, such action
upon the part of the Democrats
with that of the Republicans of this
judicial district, which is Republican
by good strong majority, yet all at
tempts to place Republican upon the
bench so long and so ably filed by
Judge Severance, is frOwned down by
the Republican press of the district
This support Of Judge Severance by
the Republicans is not because they
hope to win him from his political be.
liefs. They have too much respect
for him to believe that he could be at.
fected in any such manner. They sup
port him because of his high legal abil-
| ity, his conscientiousness and honesty
of purpose. He has the reputation OF
being one of the fairest judges in the
state, and has probably had as few
decisions reversed as any man who
ever sat upon the bench in Minnesota
1t is in recognition of all this, and
the fact that a more able judge from
their own party could not be found,
that causes the Republicans to give
Judge Severance the same hearty sup
port they would were he member OF
their own political household.
This is carrying out the idea of a
non-partisan judiciary as viewed from
Republican stand point, instead OF
the narrow, partisan manner to which
the Democrats would degrade the
highest court in the state.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican state convection
which met in St. Paul yesterday for
the purpose of nominating state
ticket did well it's work. From
first to last harmony prevailed. There
seemed to be a general feeling that
personal desires should be subordinat-
ed to party success,and as result the
party enters upon the campaign thor
oughly united and with the utmost
good feeling.
For days the nomination of Hon.
Knute Nelson ha been foregOne
conclusion and the withdrawal of the
gentlemen who were his early rivals
for the gubernatorial honor was most
graceful act upon their part, and will
be kindly remembered by the party.
Mr.. Nelson's candidacy sprung from
the people. No man in the state is
more popular with the rank and file
of the Republican party. He has
won their affections because Of their
belief in his fearlesSnesS and honesty OF
purpose. They further believed him
to be a man who could win against
all opposition, and everything points
to his election by an old time majority
In him the republicans will have a
strong, able and popular candidate
who will lead most enthusiastic
campaign. He will poll the full vote
of his party and be very apt to draw
many votes from the opposition.
The remainder of the ticket is com
posed of men of high character, who
have much experience in public af
fairs. Taken all together it is one o.
the strongest tickets ever presented
to the people of Minnesota, and thu
