Among Duluth's splendid delega-
tion We noticed that universally p0pu-
lar gentleman. Capt. ]. j. Hubbard, an
old time 'greenbacker" and one of the
noblest men in the state. Also that
thoughtful political economist. his
torian and thinker" Mr.. At. Ru-
dOlph; also Mr.. z. 81. Austin, formerly
of Chicago now Of Duluth, chairman
OF the Sixth District Committee; a
very Jealous, energetic and eficie mt
young Populist. Also Mr.. Wesenberg.
editor of the Skandinav, the "old an
archist" as he is called by his friends.
and who publishes one Of the best
Norwegian papers in the Northwest.
In the closing hours of the conven-
tion, a Ramsey county delegate Of
fered resolution which ought to
have been adopted; but in the hurry
and confusion it was misunderstood
and defeated.
The Populists everywhere ought to
pass similar resolutions, requesting
the Democrats, firmly but respectful
ly, to withdraw Mr.. Sewall and put
Mr.. Watson on his place. Such step
| would greatly promote Mr.. Bryan's
chances OF success. There may be
some who will refuse to vote for the
Democratic electors il they think 1t
will result in making national bank
er vice president of the United States,
and president in case Of Mr.. Bryan's
! death.
Whereas. the Reform forces now
united on the silver plank Of the PeO-
| pies Party for the restoration OF sill
yer to it's place on an equality with
gold as the coin money of the people,
must suffer loss OF support from many
free silver advocates, because of re-
tanning on the ticket a man for vice.
| president who is obnoxious to the
Peoples Party.
| Therefore be it resolved, that the
Populists of Minnesota will not sup
port Mr.. Sewall, Of Maine, for the
vice-preSidency; and request Of the
| state central committee that they
! correspond with the National Demo
cratic central committee, asking
them respectfully to take Mr.. Sewall
from their ticket. so that the election
Of Bryan and Watson may be assured
beyond reasonable doubt.
II the convention had understood
this resolution they would certainly
have adopted it.
The anxiety of the Temple Court
gang that Mr.. Donnelly should not be
allowed to speak, at the convention,
lest he should Ego for Owen, remind
ed us of the chap that got a crazy
idea into his head that a portion OF
his anatomy had turned into glass, and
that he could not sit down without
breaking it; and the great anxiety OF
his life was that he should protect
this precious portion of his person
from sudden blows. And so the
bearded and gigantic Dobbyn. the
banker Eckford. the abdominal alb
sorber Aver. the astute and oily
Lynch, the statistical Stacy, and al
the rest of the gang, rushed for the
unhappy Owen, and spread their arms
around him to protect him from the
descending blows which threatened tt
be rained down upon his fragile ani
glass-like reputation.
And the story goes that the doctor
who was called in to prescribe for thu
lunatic first named, found him sleep
ing on his face in bed, undressed. ane
he took board and dealt him a tire
mendous whack oyer that part of hi.
person which he believed to be made
OF glass. The poor fool, first named
sprang to the floor with howl. ant
seized the injured part with boil
hands, and bemoaned his incalculabl,
loss. But the doctor cody remarked
"Now it is broken! Go to work''
And the fool obeyed.
And so we would suggest to the
; Penny Press statesman to Withdraw
, their embracing protection. TIL,
glassyessence of their beloved fetish i!
broken; that on which his charter TO
honesty reposed is gone; it is smashed
busted, broken into flinders,-gons
away, as Hans Breitman said, into d.
evigkeit."
And all the kings doctors.
And all the kings mon.
Never can make Humpty-Dumpty
Whole again"
