REMARKS AND ACKNOWLEDG
MEMS

10 our ever esteemed contemporary,
the Pioneer Press. in reply to its COM
ments Oh the address of the Democratic
association, we beg leave to remind il
That cabal OF treacherous, double
dealing senators is not the Democratic
party, and that its assumption that it is
does violence either to our contempt
rary's Intelligence or its righteousness.
We beg further to say that the Demo-
Gratis of Minnesota do not propose to
follow the course Of those Republicans
OF this state who voted for reduction
OF the tariff in 1888. and, betrayed by a
eaDal OF congressman, who, instead,
forced an increase of taxation Oh the
country, meekiy ''bowed their heads
and bent their necks to the collar. They
propose rather to follow the course ot
those other Republicans who, in 1890
and 1892, drove from power the party
managers who had tricked them.
10 our other contemporary, the Trib-
line, which is for free trade in iron ore
and lumber, but draws the line there
and tries to persuade itself that freeing
anything else will bring Chaos again,
we convey our cordial concurrence in its
wish that this address may be the ma
tlonal feature of the fall campaign.
We assure 1t that it is our candid belief
that the Democratic candidate for con.
greSs in this State who goes to his peo-
pie with anything but denunciation of
lis senatorial conglomerate Of protec-
zionist traitors; who offers for the result
of their action either defense or apol-
ogy, will want something more than
votes to perpetuate tn. fact that he was
candidate.
To Senator Davis, who hopes that the
tall campaign may be made on this ad-
dress, we call for division of the
question. Does he hope for campaign
la+ei on denunciation of treachery?
Does he think the voters of this state
will approve that by $4,000 majority?
VIII he not be embarrassed in such IA
campaign OH such an issue by rpcollec-
tons of the very emphatic denunci-
atlonS OF traitors i'll which he freely
INDUCED his heated feelings but little
over year ago? Is treachery in Demo
cratic ranks commendauie, and only
villainous in Republican senatorial con-
tests? Or does ne wish to have 1t wa sed
on the demand Of the address that this
battle shall continue until every citizen
shall be secured the untrammele right
to buy what lie will. where he will, and
Of whom he will, anywhere IN the
| world? Does he think that a majority
| OF $4,000 votes could be rolled up in this
| state against such proposition?
To Senate Washburn, who affects
| surprise at the want of harmony the
| address evinces. we suggest that there
| is harmony in death and life in dis
! cord. and il he is not aware of it, we
| are, that there is just now harmony of
that kind in the Republican senatorial
field in this state, and if he wishes to
| escape the death it portends to his SEN
| atorial career he had better take lessons
| of the Minnesota association and create
| discord.
To Congressman Kiefer-wall, Kiefer
| doesn't count for much, put we assure
| him that if he will only make one more
| fool speech on the tariff the voters of
this district will apply his own arith-
metic to the majority they gave him
two years aga, and reduce it just $50
| per cent. As for Fletcher, he was in a
| hellofafix once himself, and ought to
| be chuck full of sympathy instead Of
| laughter. We can assure him however,
| that if the Democratic voters could now
| only get at the treacherous senators
the latter would feel as if the hand of
| Providence had smitten them.
