STATE PRESS TIPS.

Mr.. II eatwoie is handsomer than he will be
after the state convention gets through with
him, but he win know more bye aud bye,
saws the Atwater Press.
The Jackson Republic says that the only
bright thing at Jackson on Wednesday OF
last week was that Doc Fish and his man
Donnelly were unable to speak.
The Duluth Tribune is for Kendall. but
says: THE congressional contest in this
county will be lively one, as there are now
two full l.fiedged candidates IN the field, Hon.
II. c. Kendall and Col. c. IL. Graves"
A long time between drinks thinks the Still
water Gazette. Minneapolis papers insist
they are at the head of navigation. During
Il flood they may be. but otherwise not. AS
We only have flood once in ten years, 1t is
long time between being at the head of nayi-
cation.
The Duluth Herald throws out a hint in
this: Col. Bobleter says that ''iu Difference
to the wishes of his friends" he will be
candidate for a third term as state treasurer.
The friendship of those who urge the colonel
TO assume such a position is questionable.
Third terms are not popular.
The Polk Journal regrets there is to be no
eneampment this year, and says: The an
nual encampment is about all the boys have
to look forward TO as sort of eompe lsation
for their hours OF weary practice and drill,
and when deprived of this little outing, there
is not much encouragement for them TO join
the home guards.
The Swift Monitor says: The st. Paul
GLOBE has resumed its occupation of boom
ing ". r. Merriam as suitable Republican
candidate for vice president providing that
Blaine is chosen to head the ticket. Well, he
may be suitable Republican candidate, but
the Monitor believes that many Republicans
would deny such charge.
AS the Kenyon Leader sees it Doc Fish has
met his match: "'Dr Fish threw out a
challenge at St Peter to any one to discuss
Peoples party principles with him. EX-
Judge Cox has accepted the same in printed
circular Offering to pay all DR.. Fish's ex-
penses to and at st. Peter if he accepts. Fish
has declined for lack of time
The Sherhurne Star News wants big con-
vention, and says: "The seven-by-nine poll.
ticians still continue to snarl at the big con-
vention idea. 1t seems to phase them ma
terially to find large representations of the
people at the convention, and prate in hor-
rified manner at the 'unwieldliness of such
gatherings. Of course this is ali buncombe." ="
Says the ortonville Herald Star: 1t is gen.
orally agreed that 81. Paul. being the capital
of the state, is the proper place for all state
conventions, but it must be admitted that If
st. Paul fails to provide suitable conven-
ton hall. that those i'll control would be JUS
tilted in calling these meetings in some other
city that would provide proper accommOda-
tionS.
The Red Wing Republican is ungenerous
enough to find a selfish motive for a purely
fIi into rod INF Do
is urging the name Of Gov. Merriam for sec
ond on that Republican national ticket. Of
course the GLOBE is desirous of CARRYING the
state for the Democrats and no doubt thinks
the nomination of Merriam the surest way to
do So
This. from the AmboY Herald is different
view: The st. Paul GLOBE nominates Gov.
Merriam as Blaines running mate. The
GLOBE has. evidently, but little nope of the
success of the Democratic national ticket,
hence its desire to see a man of its fancy
nominated by the Republicans. Well, Gov.
Merriam wouldn't be slow as vice preSi
dental candidate.
The classic walls of The south wing of the
apitol at Washington have ech oed the pow
erful logic OF Webster and Calhoun, the mas
terly orarory of Everett and Hayne, and the
thrilling eloquence of Henry Clay, but just
wait until the Seventh Minnesota congress
sionaI district is heard rom-then-then-
the plaster will begin to peel, if the Crooks
ston Times understands it.
Speaking of the Republican state conyen-
tion.-the Mankato Free Press says of the loca-
ton: With the national convention and the
national committeeman she (Minneapolis)
should content herself, and no, try to hog
the state convention. Under all the circum-
stances. the state committee will in no wise
be justified in robbing st. Paul of the coming
state convention. For years gatherings of
this character have been held there, and
there is less reason for a change this year
than ever before.
