he went Immediately TO Washington
and was regular attendant upon the
closing session of the Fifty-seeond con-
gress, ending March 4, 1898. lie had
the advantage of this experience when
the extra session began, Aug. Z. 1898,
and from that date until the adjourn
ment of the regular session, Aug. rs,
1894, the records show that he was
absent but one day, and that on account

that earned him the admiration even of

THE FxpECrED ATTACK MET.

When Gen. Becker was nominated 1t
was anticipated that his connection
with the state railway commission and
his appointment ana renewed appoint
menls TO that Office by successive Re
publican governors. all more or less
closely affiliated with the railways.
would be used to make it appear to the
farmers of the state that he was APP
pointed and retained because the rail-
ways wanted him there.
Not only is this utterly untrue, but 1t
is the fact that the president of one of
the railways of the state commonly
thought to be as active in the politics of
both parties as in his own more legiti-
mate affairs, while admitting Gen.
Becker'S competency, protested against
his appointment because lie was not
sufficiently friendly to railway interests.
The expected attack appears in a
Manka:o paper, and is thus met by the
Review, of that place. whose editor.
John c. Wise, speaks from long ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Becker. TO what
he says every one who knows Mr..
Becker will cordially assent.
After nearly weeks effort to ind
some cause for aSSOciating the name OF
Gen. Becker in some way with the rail-
roads to prejudice him i'll the eyes of
the Populists, the Journal finally settles
down to the conclusion that being
member of the railroad commission he
owes his appointment to the governor,
and the governor being influenced in
his selections by President Hill, that
therefore Gen. Becker must be tool OF
Jim Hill," aud as such that delectable
journal proclaims him to the public.
The accusation is so thoroughly ground
less, the basis ON which it is made so
trivial. that we are surprised at paper
claiming to represent a reform move
ment in politics, by means of which
people are to be made better, more
honest and more truthful, should resort
to such methods to do an intentional
injury to an honored citizen of our
state, for there is not man in the state,
no matter what his politics, who knows
Gen. Becker, but will pronounce the
accusation malicious libel"

sanctuary and sanctuary rails were
specially decorated for the occasion. As
the bridal train moved up the aisle Miss
Katie Dibb, of Minneapolis, performed

sohn's "Athalie."
The bride was conducted to the sane
tuary rails by her father, who in
toilette of the bride and bridesmaid,

Now sit we close about the taper here.

planks, making it wider and bringing it
down to date. The following is his adj
ditlOn:
Now sit we close about the taper here.
And call in question our necessities.
Radical reduction of the tariff. leading to
perfect freedom of trade. thereby emancipat-
ing business from the disasters of constant
tariff tinkerng, and labor from the burdens
of crooked taxation.
The immediate cancellation OF all unearned
land grants. and the passage OF such laws as
will prevent speculation i'll land, and so give
easier access to our great natural resources
increase business and extend The field for the
employment of labor.
Government possession and operation OF
the Union Pacific railroa d, built with the
peoples money, and not paid for.
Election of United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
A thorough revision of our monetary sys-
tenn.
A postal telegraph owned and operated by
the government
The adoption of the initiative and refer
endum so far as practicable.
All of which shows that Mr.. Erick-
son is not all a politician. If he were
one of the typical kind, he would pre-
fer to have his platform say little than
much. He would have it deal largely in
safe platitudes, and if there were some
question about which men were begin
ming to think seriously. he would have
it touched with glittering generalities.
so that it would suit any and every one.
He would use language to conceal, not to
express thought. 1t IS votes that are
wanted, not controversy, and the adroit
politician never lets words or ideas
stand in the way of getting votes.
| Ii Mr.. Erickson is not an aStute poll
tician he is very frank and courageous
| candidate, and doesn't believe in getting
votes by false pretenses. More than
that, he is one of the sanguine men who
reject the notion that because the party
| is century old it is therefore an old
| fogy, conservative one living III its past
| and dreading innovations that disturb
| comfort and make men think. He be.
lieves that the party of Jefferson, the
radical of his day, should be true to the
spirit of its founder. and face honestly
the new questions of government and
, solve them by the rule of Democracy.
| There is no room in the same country
for two conservative parties, and the
Republican party pre-empted that posi-
ton twenty-five years ago.
But whether Mr.. Erickson is wise as
a candidate or not, he is wise In his in
tuition of what the party should do,
what its tendencies are, and what posi-
ton it must take on the old question not
| yet solved and the new questions that
are coming on, demanding an answer
from some party, Indifferent what party
makes reply so that fitting answer be
made. No one who has even nodding
| acquaintance with Democracy, one
which enables him to recognize it in a
crowd, but will feel constrained to adj
nit that the additional planks Mr..
| Erickson has tackled onto his convention
platform are Democratic in their spirit,
and that the Democracy is headed their
way
