Ing. saying that over s1,0O0,000 would
be put into circulation in ST. Paul as a
result. Bishop Gilbert made an
eloquent appeal for the support of the
public, saying "the good name of ST.
Paul and of every resident in our fair
city is involved. To prove unmindful
of our duties would be a far-reaching
disgrace. / confidently believe that
when our citizens fully realize the
nobility of these men and our respon-
sibility to the cause in hand, there will
be no failure In hospitality. 1t will be
glorious thing for us and for our
children to tell. We welcomed once to
our hearts and homes a veteran of the
Grand Army of the Republic
Mr.. Clapp said that his presence at
the meeting testified to his interest
rather than to any attempt to encour-
age or enlighten the ladies committee
He regarded the victories of Grand
Army of the Republic as even more
the triumph Of American womanhood
than of American manhood. There
were two things which menaced the
success Of the st. Paul encampment
The first was the failure on the part
of the citizens to understand the mag
nitude of this occasion. 1t is a great
undertaking, one that would tax the
resources of st. Paul to the uttermost,
and 1T was important that the citizens
should understand this The second
menace was the disposition to with
hold entertainment and to refuse to re-
ceive the city's guests into the city's
homes. Public feeling must be de-
veloped in this connection. Appeal in
this direction might be made through
sentiment or through the commercial
instinct. The people of ST. Paul ap-
parently failed to appreciate the bene-
fits to come, SO that only the appeal
to sentiment remained, where was
better and more powerful way of Sc
curing the deserved result Mr. Clapp
commended and enlarged upon Mr.
McCardy's suggestion as to developing
public sentiment through decoration,
especially the use of flags. saying that

A TAME CONVENTION.

Yesterdays Republican convention
1ngs ever seen in ST. Paul. 1t was
common remark of those who were i'll
attendance that the proceedings were
perfunctory and forced In a marked
degree. Nor could it have been ex-
pected to be otherwise. The train had
been laid carefully for the results ex-
pected and desired, and everybody
knew precisely what was coming. AS
the G o b e said yesterday morning. it
was really not worth while to go to
the trouble of holding a convention to
register DEGREES that had already gone
forth. But wher. this is the situation,
you cannot expect people, in very
warm weather, to- go through all the
motions Of intense excitement, eager
expectation and Astounding joy over
the filling of a cut and dried pro-
gramme.
The ticket nominated was, with
single exception, exactly what the Re-
publican machine which now controls
the politics of this state had prepared.
In Its contest over the main point, it
was obliged to surrender the plan for
change in the attorney generals Of
fee. OF Gov. Clough, the G 10 b has
no need to speak to our people at
length at this time. His administra-
ton has not been opeK to the fierce
criticism that would have fallen to the
Irt Of hot
enough to say that he is bitterly cp-
posed not only by all who are rot Re
publicans, but by large number Of
those who are. Judicious action and
proper nomination by the Democrats
can secure his defeat ir. the election
this year.
The second place on the ticket is
given to placate the voters who desired
to see Mr.. Gibbs carry off first honors.
The present malodorous secretary of
state. the scandals of whose office in
connection with the state census are
still fresh in the public mind was in
dorsed by the convention, and will be
heavy load for the ticket to carry.
All the other present officers were re-
nominated, including Mr.. Koerner, who
has been a competent and careful
treasurer, and Mr.. Childs, whom the
machine failed to turn down according
to their prearranged plan With these
nominations, limited except in the case
of lieutenant governor to simply nam
ing the men now in place, and with
the adoption Of a meaningless plat
form, whose Only virtue is it's brevity.

these men is perfectly logical. Mr..
Teller is, indeed. Republican In every
respect. We make no exception what
ever, because the free coinage of sill
yer by this Country alone at the ratio
of Is to is ESSENTIALLY and wholly Re
publican doctfine.l 1t is precisely the
same kind of protection that is ex-
tended to sugar when bounty is paid
to planters, lAnd the same in kind,
though differing in degree, as is con-
ferred upon our manufacturers by a
tariff upon imports. The free silver
Republicans are the only members Of
the party who have a right to bear the
party name or to call themselves pro-
tectionists. We do not for ourselves
believe that protection for the sake Of
protection. whether it be given to sill
yer or iron or any other metal or thing
is straight Democratic doctrine. We
call it Republicanism
IT, now, convention called to repre-
sent the Democratic party sees fit to
indorse this fundamental principle of
Republicanism, if it discards the is
sues on which the great victory of
1892 was won, and to which the party
is pledged, and takes up the cause Of
the enemy instead, we think it no less
than fair that it should also name a
Republican candidate. Let the whole
performance be consistent, and plat
form and candidate be taken from the
same party. Just as there is no other
man in the United States who so fifty
represents the Republican party
as Henry M. Teller, so is there
none that can as properly COM
mand the united support of conven-
ton, whatever it may be pleased to
call itself, which declares for the free
coinage of silver at an arbitrary and
impossible ratio.

A MEAN ATTACK.

We are surprised and grieved at the
evident disposition of the Pioneer Press
to SANDER and throw discredit upon
the local administration so early in its
history. This it does, lot openly and
directly, but by publishing reports of
midnight and daylight depredations
of sneak thieves and burglars, which,
we have been told by those closest to
the powers that be, are entirely with
out truth or, foundation. On last
Tuesday the Pioneer Press, which had
hitherto been judiciously silent on the
that had occurred. but been overlooked
by 1T during the preceding week. This
article reported ah"harvest'' by sneak
thieves in the neighborhood of Rice
and University avenues, and specified
four cases of entrance and robbery.
Yesterday morning the Pioneer Press
was equally inconsiderate, and while
it had not heard, apparently, of the
sacking Of the Bigelow residence, it
printed an account of three other bur-
glaries, which it had just sized up.
Now there is something very much
out of the regular and proper order in
this. While the G l o e, in it's capac-
ity as a news gatherer and publisher
has told the story day by day of the
assault upon the property and safety
of our citizens, it has been subject to
fierce criticism for so doing. The pub
lie has been Informed by an organ of
the administration that all these cpl
sodes were manufactured for the occa-
sion: that there are really no thefts
going forward, and that the only pur-
Eose of such publications is the ma
licious one of throwing undeserved re-
proach upon the present administra-
ton. If this is true, then the Pioneer
Press has Joined the ranks of Mayor
Doran's assailants. If it is not true,
then an administration which conceals
or denies the facts that should appear
upon it's police records and be made
the property Of the public is placed III
a peculiar and unenviable position.
Republican argument, the G | b e ten
ders it's sympathies to Mr.. Doran for
the assault to which his administration
is now subject by the Pioneer Press in
Jews, even if it reflects upon the con-
duct and efficiency of the municipal
authorities. ply

CINGMARs AND MUsGRovE.
The Former Sends for a Spiritual
Adviser

Any number Of country sheriffs, each ac-
companied by half dozen friends visited
the county Jail yesterday Each delegation
TOOK lively interest in seeing how the sbest
jail In the state was conducted, as they put
1t, and incidentally each and every one want
co a sGufnt at Cfngmars and Musgrove the
Glencoe murderers. One delegation who took
a look at the prisoners was from Mora,
hanabec county, this state, and a member of
the party stated that In his opinion Cing-
mars was one Of the men who had been In
that section holding up farmers cling
mars denied this, and said now that they
were behind the bars ne supposed they would
be charged with all the crimes committed
In the northern part of the state for months
past.
Deputy Sheriff Zetterberg. of Kanabeo
county, has requested that photos Of the
two men be sent to him. as he believes the
twain were concerned in the murder of AL
bert Peterson, which occurred in that county
In the fall OF 1895. To oblige the official from
Kanabec county. and also other peace Of
fcials throughout the Northwest, photographs
of the men have been taken In various DO
sitions.
Cingmars' uncle and cousin from Mendoza
visited the jail yesterday, accompanied by
W. w. Erwin. the attorney. 1t is expected
that Erwin will appear for both men, but
this Is not definitely settled. The uncle and
cousin of Cingmars are willing to do what
they can for their relative but 1t Is under
stood they feel that to hire attorneys and
make strong fight would be money thrown
away. Cingmars was visited yesterday by a
French priest, he having requested Sheriff
Chapel that the spiritual adviser be sent for,

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

There can be no doubt that the Chi
cago convention, if 1t follows out it's
announced programme of straight 16
to l platform and candidate, with mo
quarter" to the gold men, should nom
mate for the presidency, the Hon. Hen
ry M. Teller, of Colorado. ANY other
course would mean positive stuItifica-
are about to come together under the
name of a national Democratic conven-
ton. All the news dispatches from
Chicago throw a light of ridicule upon
the use Of the word Democratic" in
this connection. The active managers
of this affair are already in session at
Chicago in large numbers, and their
proceedings are fully reported. The
largest element consists Of Populfsts.
We do not, by this, mean Democrats
who have voted hitherto the Demo-
cratic ticket, but are now free silver
men, but we mean straight-out, reg
ular, unvaryiIg members Of the Peo-
pies party. And they are in the ma
jority so far at Chicago, and they are
running the campaign and making the
platform for the so-called Democratic
convention. Second in number are the
free silver men who have heretofore
acted with the Democratic party, but
have deliberately cut themselves loose
from it, even before the silver issue
became prominent, by abusing the
president and fouting the policy of the
party which placed them in power.
Third only in number, but really Sec
ond in influence, of these different ele-
ments are the Republican workers;
men like Pettigrew and Dubois, who
are in constant consultation with the
so-called Democratic leaders, and are
working with them in perfect harmony
and accord.
It is the desire Of the first and the
last of these three elements that Mr..
Teller should be made the nominee of
the convention. The Populists say that
they will indorse no other. The Re-
publican strikers, q little more modest
and wise, do not go SO far, but make
no secret of their opinion that policy
and fairness both require that Mr.. Tel
Ter be the nominee. AS we have said
before. we helieYa that the position Of

We note with interest the promi-

the coming Chicago convention. With

each Of the leaders in the several
states whose delegates expect to con-
troll the actions of this convert ion re-
signs in advance all the honors which
are usually so eagerly struggled for,
for himself and for the commonwealth
which he represents. No such exhibit
ton OF modesty on the part of these
men has ever been seen before. Mr..
Tillman, for example, has grabbed
everything in sight III South Carolina
ever since he first rose like a lurid star
in the political sky. If there is any
one virtue which Mr. Tillman has not
exhibited in public life 1t is modesty.
or leaning toward Remuneration. Yet
Mr.. Tillman ridicules and rejects the
idea that South Carolina should pre-
sent candidate to the con-
vention. Gov. Altgeld, or IlIIi-
nois, is another of those who are
smitten with sudden anxiety to retire
to the background If there il
anybody who has kept himself in evil
dence for the last. three or four wears
in politics it is Mr. Altgeld. He has
beer, as the school boys compositions
say, too numerous to mention" He
has neglected no opportunity to rusb
into print or into speech, and has re-
FUSED nothing that came his way. even
down to the last nomination for gov
error of Illinois. But Mr.. AltgeId. TOO
has felt the shock of modesty. and he
come saturated with the altruistic
spirit. No presidential nomination for
Illinois, either in his person or in that
OF any other, he cries. Let the honor
go somewhere else. And so all the
way down the list, with the execution
OF the demand of Iowa for Boies, and
Missouri for Bland, both of whom are
perpetual candidates, and neither of
whom has anything to lose by a de-
feat, however crushing.
Nobody wants this nomination. II is
fact Of no little significance What
1t argues is that the men who are man
aging this silver movement and
who are men of large political
perspicacfty know perfectly well
that If they succeed they will
lead the party to the most over
whelming defeat it has experienced
since 1872. They are willing enough
to do that in order to maintain them
selves in control Of the machines in
their respective states, but most of all
to array the Democratic party against
Mr.. Cleveland and his administration
and all that that stands for. To graft
fly personal pique and accomplish a
political revenge they willingly offer up
the Democratic party of the nation.
but are careful to withhold from the
sacrifice their own personal fortunes.
The situation Is very transparent one.

proposition of Artemus Ward to Law
