GEN. GRosvENoR AND HIS CHIEF.

Con. Grosvenor, one of Mr.. McKinley's
given reason why Mr. Mckinley did
not speak out ON the currency and
though couched in different language
the substance of the reason both times
las been that by speaking he might put
81 jeopardy his chances of nomination.
Tie first time he spoke was several
weeks ago, while conventions were still
pending in the western states, more es-
pecially in the far western States and
then The reason he gave for Mckinley 8
keeping quiet was that number of i'm
portant conventions were yet to be held
clearly implying that speaking then
might jeopardizs his chances of capturing
the delegates to be chosen. In
short his reason was that ut
terance then might initiate against
success. Now all the delegates have been
elected aud Grosvenor claims that Nc.
Kinley has 600 Of them, a hundred more
than he needs. And the reason he gives
for McKinley's continued silence is that
it is the unwritten law of political cam
paigns that candidates shall not make
the platform. But before be gets through
celebrating this excuse be lots out the
fact that it is still the fear that in some
way it may initiate against his success
to speak out that induces his managers
to advise the Major to keep quiet. The
violation Of this rule cost Henry Clay
the Presidency, naively remarks the Gen
o-,I H. I, \
mind be would have added and it may
cost Mckinley the Presidency too.
Looked at as mere question of prop
Tiety the Generals excuse for the silence
Of his chief is very thin; for the reason
that the Major has spoken very plainly
on other questions which will enter into
the platform just as much as the cur
rency question. The Ohio platform of
which he was undoubtedly the author
gave to the country in very explicit terms
his view of what should be the declara-
tlon Of the national convention on the
subject of protection. Why is he not &C.
eused OF trying to dictate the Republican
platform on this point? Furthermore
while the Major has been silent himself
his managers have been going over the
country saying that he wRs a
sound money man and that if the con-
vention should adopt a free silver plat
form he would refuse to te candidate.
Is that not an attempt to dictate the
PLATFORM But viewed from the stand
point OF its effect upon his success in the
convention Gen. Grosvenor's excuse is not
thin at all. IL is perfectly well known,
that there will be a good many delegates
at tbs St. Louis convention opposed to &
declaration in favor Of the gold standard,
and that the preference Of many Of these
delegates is for Mckinley as against the
other candidates. a fat-footed declara-
ticn in favor of the maintenance Of the
gold standard might render the love of
these silver delegates for MoKienley
much less warm-might cool their ardor
SO that they would not vote for him ct
all; aud it is by no means certain that
there are enough Mckinley delegates
from stateg absolutely committed to the
gold standard to nominate him. Hence
the silver delegates and the delegates that
want goftened declaration on the cur.
renoy question are likely to be need
ed to make up those 900 delegates which

Of the forty-five Republican oonven-

favor OF the gold standard. This ought

Louis in favor of the gold standard SO
clear that nobody can misunderstood it,

Regarding Rev. Davis.

Regarding Rev. Davis.
The following special from Winona to
the Wednesday papers will interest peo-
pie here as it refers to a preacher who
has worked up quite an acquaintance in
our city:
A strange rumor, which has proved
true, came to light here to-day. Rev. F.
G. Davis is a Unitarian minister who
has been pastor Of the church here. A
short time ago he was given oversight
and charge Of several churches in Wis
consin and small towns near here. He
has lived in Winona for several years
with hiswife and three children, two
daughters and son. He. was stylish in
his dress and about fifty years of age
He is eloquent in speaking and popular
with his congregations. =
This morning news was received that
he had been married to woman at
Neilsville, Wis. Telgrams we're sent by
local paper to the editors Of the two
papers Of the town, inquiring into the
matter. The anwser proved the report
to be true. He was married last Sunday
for the second time in his life, to Mrs.
Ella Bailey, woman OF good standing
at Neilsville, by Rev.T. G. Hill.
The daughter, a young lady of some
twenty years, was seen this afternoon, and,
as the rest Of the famil; were absent, her
explanation asked. She was entirely
unaware that her father had been re-
married IN fact, at first she refused to
believe it. She was finally persuaded to
state that the rumor Of her father being
divorced from her mother was true. It
had evidently happened some years ago,
but the couple still lived together with
their children up to the last few days. No
one In Winona seems to have been aware
that they ever had the slightest trouble.
What the family arrangements will be in
the future is not known. His sudden
marriage is something Of 9 shock to his
family The husband Of the widow he
married was killed by Lightning few
years ago.
A day or o-later, another special ap-
peared IN which the Winona Mrs. Davis
admitted the granting Of Ia divorce on
the Esd of December.

Popular Election of Senators.

There IS unquestlonably a growing
sentiment in favor of the election of
United States Senators by direct vote of
the people, and the reasons for it
are not hard to find. The Senate itself
furnishes nearly all of the arguments
and influences by which the desire for
such a change is being strengthened and
extended 1t was the original design
that this select and august body should
be conservative force to check the
excuses of the House and insure tenn
perate aud prudent adjustment Of all
controversies; and for a long time it
served that purpose in beneficial and
satisfactory way. Bnt of late years, it
has become source of embarrassment
and of mischief instead of protection
against that sort of thing. The country
has ceased to look to it for the wisdom
which 1t is supposed to represent. 1t IS
not reliable in point of capable and
patriotic devotion to the best interests
of the republic. There is leaven Of
demagoguery in it that leavens the whole
lump, and its course upon questions of
the highest Importance is characterized
by the very folly and extravaganza which
it was intended to curb and defeat It
stands in the way of needed legislation,
and makes itself obnoxious by persistent
trifllng with the public interests.
The people are very tired of this con-
slant abuse of Legislative authority, and
very anxious to put a stop to it. Posi-
bly, the proposed change in the method
OF election would not accomplish the de-
sired improvement, butimpression widely
prevails that the experiment is worth
trying, at any rate. There Is feeling
that if the men who seek election to
the Senate were required to submit their
claims directly to the voters Of State,
it would tend to increase the chances of
superior over inferior candidates, and
to establish better sense Of RESPONSE
bility on the part of those securing such
places. 1t is true that there are certain
forcible objections to the change from
a theoretical point of view, but public
sentiment does not care much for theory
when the question Of practical advantage
is to be considered. SO many men have
obtained seats in the Senate who cOuld
not have been elected by u popular vote
that it is easy to believe that the trouble
lies in the opportunity which the presen,
method affords for trickery and corrup.
ton to beat honest merit. The matter
is not one to be decided in an inpulsive
way or under pressure Of special causes
of dissatisfaction but it isa proper one
to be discussed in all of its aspects, and
there are unmistakable indications that
the idea Of election by q direct vote is
gaining ground rapidly in all parts Of
the country and among all classes Of the
people. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

AS the date for the Republican Nation
al Convention approaches, it behooses
the people Of Minnesota to come to some
conclusion as to whom they want fo1
their standard bearer. If it is to be Davis,
the time is ripe for action, for scheming
politicians are at work sowing the seeds
of doubt as to his chances and urging the
people not to throw away their votes.
These claims are absolutely uncalled
for, but if they are ,istenend to q few of
fce-seeking individuals will reap the
benefits and not the people at large.
On the other .hand, the reasons for giving
Davis united and enthusiastic delegation
are apparent enough. He is as well-itted
to assume the high station as any candi-
date in the field. His well defined prin-
ciples are as popular as those of any Of
them. His patriotism is unquestioned,
and Minnesota would be honored in his
selection. Now as to his chances. Should
the leading candidates bring about a
clash, a compromise candidate is the on.
ly possible result. In such an event why
would not Davis prove favorite? ALI
son is apt to be mixed up in the first
scramble, and as against Cullom or Bur-
rows the possibilities of Davis are admit
ted by the leading papers and political
leaders to rank among the first. This
ought to be induceinent sufficient to
give him the support of the whole dele
cation from his own state, and the desires
of few individuals to gain political
pull or bossism by getting the state for
Mckinley should not be countenanced.
If Mckinley is really the noble man that
his admirers claim.and should the conven-
tons deliberations result in his nominal
ton on an early ballot. he would never
turn Minnesota's loyalty to Davis to her
future disadvantage. If he would, he is
not fit to be pr esident. Besides there
would be no need of voting for Davis af-
ter it was clear that anyone of the lead
ing candidates was sure of success. Min
nesota, therefore, has nothing to lose in
by her senior senator, and her
votes would not be thrown away if they
don't happen to go to John Goodnow's
favorite On the first ballot. Mr.. Davis
IS not in the field for secondary or ca
binet position and let it be understood
at once that ne is not being made the
tool of ring. He IS simply actuated
by laudable ambition aud as long as
the State has every possibility of gain
ing thereby and nothing to lose, he should
be encouraged.

JOHNSON 4 WICAERSkI, Pususnla;s.
Wednesday March 4, 1896.

Geo. w. Somerville's candidacy for
congress has occasioned no little stir
throughout the state at large and in the
second district particularly it has awak-
ened unexpected and favorable comment.
The Review does not feel like treating
it as does the Mankato Free Press, alleg-
ing that McCleary has rendered us salts
factory service in Congress and that the
contest between him and Somerville will
he merely one of personal friendship.
On the contrary, the fight will be one of
merit and principles. McCleary's whole
efforts IN congress on the financial ques-
ton have been in the direction of sin
gle gold standard, disregarding silver al
together and advocating the worst and
most Objectionable kind of monometal-
lism. This is not in accord with the
principles of the time hono1ed chieftains
of the party-statesmen broad enough
to comprehend the needs of the whole
country-nor is it in accord with the
platform promulgated at Minneapolis.
The masses of the people do not agree
with McCleary in his unreasoning clam
or for gold. gold, gold. and are looking
for a man who stands for bimetallism in
its best and truest sense. Such man is
Somerville. He stands Upon the plat
form squarely, and is brainy enough to
know that it never called for gold-bug
slaves. On the other great questions be-
fore the people he is equally correct,
strong protection and believer in keep
ing the income of the government up to
the expenditures. He does not see the
necessity for the issuance of bonds in
time of peace. His head IS level, and his
brain fertile enough to defend the prln-
ciples in which he believes. His natural
ability is far above the average and his
election would mean the appearance of
man in congress who would fast forge to
the front. There is nothing stereotyped
about him. He is always progressive
and original. These are the qualities
necessary to make a satisfactory Con-
gresham and Somerville has them to
spare. Moreover he knows how to make
use of them.
