A MOOTED QUESTION.
The Nominat ton of Whitciaw Reid an
the Printers Union.

The Nomination of Whiteiaw Reid and
the Printers Union.
New YORK. June 16.-The statement
made by Chauncey NJ. Depew that the
differences between Whitelaw Reid and
Typogra pl1ica1 Union No. had been
adjusted and that the union had re-
quested his candidacy. is a topic of
much discussion. 1t was stated by an
officer of the union to a United Press
reporter yesterday that Mr.. Depew had
spent some time with Mr.. Reid at his
home on Ophir farm, Tuesday night, in
regard to the matter but that no set
Element had been reached. The United
Press reporters informant said there
was very little likelihood of a settle
ment between the union and Mr.. Reid
being reached. The members of the
union say that if it's committee at Min
neapolis gave Mr.. Depew to under
stand that a settlement had been
reached between Mr.. Reid and the
union, it placed the union in a false
position, and exceeded its authority.
At meeting of the international
Typographical union in Philadelphia
Tuesday, a resolution was offered con-
demning New York Typographical I'm
ion No. for it's alleged action in rec
ommending the nomination of White
law Reid for the vice-presidency, whom
the resolution characterizes as 1.-The
worst enemy that organized labor has
had to contend with" Action on the
resolution was deferred until the union
cited could be heard from, after an at
tempt to ia BILE il was deferred.

JAMES It. McCLEARY.

Prof. McCleary, as the report of the
meeting of the Normal Board shows.
has severed his connection with our
Normal school. Under the circum-
tances this action is probably wise,
if not almost necessary. 1t leaves
him free to conduct, without embar-
rassment to himself or the school, the
canvass for the Congressional nomina-
tion which, although now reasonably
assured to him, will naturally claim
his time until the meeting of the con-
vention.
Mr.. McCleary came to the school
eleven years ago a young man of little
experience and wholly unknown in the
state. His ability, his scholarship,
his energy, his intellectual integrity,
and his pleasing address won for him
immediate recognition and he was
soon regarded as the ablest and most
popular institute conductor in the
state, ifnot in the Northwest. Where
ever he went he won friends for him
self and for the school, and he became
a large factor in the remarkable
growth of the latter.
AS an institute conductor he has
not only been in demand in all parts
of Minnesota, but has been invited to
other states to aid ia upbuilding in
them institute systems modelled after
the recognized excellencies of our
own. AS an expert he has accepted
invitations to the Dakotas, Colorado,
Virginia and Tennessee, and has re-
ceived calls from other states.
His "Studies IN Civics," published
four years ago, the ripe fruit of sever
al years. labor, has given him ma
tional reputation in educational cir
Giles and is widely used in this and
other states. even as far eastas Penn
sylvania.

THE RATIFICATION
Lieut.. Gov. Ives, Prof. McCleary and
Others Kindle Enthusiasm in
their Hearers.

The ratification meeting Saturday
evening was success. Although the
mosquitoes waged relentless warfare
on the audience the latter bravely
held their ground and remained there
until the close. The speakers were
confident of the success of the party
next fall, and this feeling was
evidently shared by their hearers, to
judge from the applause. The re-
marks made were more than usually
'interes ting, and the large number of
ladies present seemed to be not a
whit less interested than the men.
The G.. A. r. drum corps was on
hand, and vocal music was furnished
by an excellent quartet of young men,
while John Williams rendered several
inspiring songs. These and the speak
ers occupied the stage.
DR.. VIM. Jacoby acted as chairman
and gave an eloquent Introductory.
He said that the Republicans are al
ways aggressive and do not expect to
be placed on the defensive.
B. d. Smith was the first speaker
introduced. He is president of the
Mankato organization of the league
OF Republican clubs, and asked the
Republicans who have not already
joined the club to do so. He urged
everyone to read the platform adopted
by last weeks convention, saying that
no better one was ever submitted to
the American people. None can find
fault with the two main planks, those
OF tariff and money. The tariff plank
declares for such a duty as shall
amount to the difference in the cost
OF labor in America and Europe put
upon the article imported. The mon
ey plank favors making one dollar

IN THE RIVER.
Emil PrOsser Drowned Saturday After.
noon While Bathing in the Min
neSOta.

An eighteen year old boy named
Emil Prosser was drowned in the
Minnesota river at about 12:45 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon, while in swimming
with three companions. The acct
dent occurred nearly back of the
candy factory, where the current sets
in swiftly and deeply toward the bank
and then is DETECTED toward the cen
ter Of the bed. Prosser and two Others
were in the water and one on the
bank, when Prosser swan into the
deep current and was carried by it
further from shore. He continued to
swim until all at once he sank from
view and was not seen again. His
comrades attempted to rescue him,
but without success. The alarm was
given and some citizens began a
search for the body, but as no grap-
pling hooks or netting were to be had
no systematic search could be made.
Prosser's three companions were
Edward Beals, Geo. Dixon and Ru-
dolph Eibald. One of these states
that Prasser could swim and that the
only way he can account for his
drowning is that he was taken with
cramps. He says that everything
possible was done to save the unfor-
tunate lad.
Prosser has been employed at the
candy factory for year and was a
good, steady boy. His father, Vim.
cent Prosser, resides at IA Adams
street. Much sympathy is expressed
for the stricken family.
The body was found at shortly
before three O'Clock at short dis
lance below the point where the
drowning occurred. 1t was lying at
the bottom of the river and was
neither discolored nor bloated, but
after being exposed to the air the
body changed color rapidly. 1t was
buried during the afternoon.

reason to believe he will still remain
resident of the city, which he will

in bidding adieu to Professor McCleary
with the hope that in due time it may
salute Congressman McCleary.
