MINNEAPOLIS.
DEMOCRATIC UNITY NEEDED.

There seems to he general feeling
In whom the party has confidence is
needed very much In order that success
may be obtained.
AT the present time there are at least
three different factions, and all fighting
each other. This state of affairs simply
means defeat at the ensuing election
unless some wise policy is decided on
aud a leader in whom all have conf
dence takes charge of the Democratic
hosts.
How this fact can be brought about is
the problem that should interest all, for
il is without any question the most vital
point that concerns the welfare of the
party i'll this city.
There are several well-known men
who have gained a sort of leadership in
their different factions. but none seem
to have the tact and ability to combine
and harmonic the different elements.
The claim is made that so-called Dem
ocratic morning paper is in reality Re-
publican sheet. and has done more
plugging for his honor the mayor than
even the Republican papers themselves.
This paper has endeavored TO be fair to
all, but what suits one faction antago-
nizes another. so that up to date it is al
most all impossbility to suit any one.
There are politicians here, as in con-
greSs, whose sole idea of politics is for
revenue only and what there is in it,
with no thought or idea of the great
principles underlying the party,o of which
they seem to have no conception. 1t is
10 be devoutly hoped that some man who
has The true idea of politics, in whom
all have confidence. will appear and
take charge of the campaign against the
Republican hosts, who are already as
semblin2 and organizing in systematic
manner, even at this early date.
