The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-24


will be our endeavor, first, to induce
majority of the Bryan Democracy TO
forsake the doctrines of Chica go, and,
uniting with us, again take up the bat
tie against paternalism and class
favoritism where it was dropped in
July; failing, this and second, to form
compact body Of voters, agreeing
with us In opinion, which shall ulti-
mately, through adherence to principle
and constantly increasing strength,
either impose it's opinions upon one OF
the two great parties or ultimately be-
come itself the plurality party in the
state and in the country. The practi-
cal problem is to solidify our vote and
TO increase 1T as far as possible, par
ticularly by accessions from the Bryan
ranks To this work those of US who
are charged with the responsibility for
the National Democratic organization
will devote so much of our time as we
can spare during the next two years
Our work will be in charge of Mr..
West. National Democratic clubs,
| county committees, and subordinate
committees will be formed throughout
the state. Literature will be circulated;
speakers will be sent out to discuss
current political questions in the var
ious localities Of the state wherever
and whenever desired, and every posi-
BILE measure taken to solidify and hold
together the anti-Chicago Democratic
vote"
In the Sixth district, more than in
any other part of the state perhaps
the splendid work of the sound money
democrats gave immediate results.
Those who watched the progress Of the
campaign both in Duluth and in the
district, are disposed to give much
credit for the defeat Of Towne to the
efforts Of Gov. Flower and party, who
canvassed the district the week before
! the election. Even at this late date,
letters are received at headquarters
commenting on the results Of that
weeks work. One gentleman writing
from Brainerd, says: II desire to testify
to the great benefit the sound money
Democrats in this city and county de-
rived from the visit Of Gov. Flower
ana party, particularly, among the Re
pubhcans. It is generally admitted we
had the best meeting of the campaign.
If the governor and Lawler could have
been here a month sooner the benefit
would have been much greater"
GOV. F1oWer was in his element in
those outdoor speeches. He is at his
best when meeting audiences in the
open, and his speeches were different
at each place ne spoke. He seemed to
oerlVe inspiration from the surround
lngs. 1t is believed that his influence
was such that his speeches diverted
su1f1c1ent votes to defeat Towne. Dan
LAWYER, who is something of a cam
palgner himself, says that Gov. Flower
IS the pest campaigner he ever stumped
district with. It's difficult to saw
what the telegraph tolls were on Law
iers messages to headquarters during
that week. Every time Gov Flower
mace a speech Lawler telegraphed to
Cutcheon that Gov. Flower had made
tne pest speech Of his life and that he
was making votes by the barrel. Law
LEI hl1nself' 1t may be truthfully said,
| hed more to do with the defeat OF Lind
than any other one man in the cam
Palgn' IN every speech he made he
dressed Lind and advised his hearers
to vote for Clough. There are more
democrats than Lind needed to elect
MIN VINO heard Lawler and who would
vote pretty nearly as he told them to
LAWYERS popularity in Minnesota was
an important element in securing to
Clough his beggarly majority.
Congressman Tawrey was in the citv
yesterday. He has just returned from
| Washington and is looking after. some
private matters previous to his retnrn
10 the national capital next week. The
congressman has some positive views
on the action of the coming session
he is OF the opinion that the Dingley
OIL, which was introduced with the
nope OF providing revenue sufficient tn
do not think the senate will pass the
measure without amendment. and T am
certain the house would not accent
those amendments" said Mr.. TaWnev.
Unless such relief Is obtained there is
no way to avoid another bond issue
L am disposed to think there will be an
extra session called and that some
measure will be introduced and passed
to increase the revenues, There was
some talk in Washington last week
that the members Of the ways and
means committee who have been re-
elected will begin at once on the forma-
t1on of a tariff bill, so that there will
be little delay, when the extra session
is called, Of getting to work on the
remedial measure" Speaking of the
probability Of Minnesota's representa-
tton in McKinley's cabinet, Mr.. Tawnev
was OF the opinion that Minnesota de-
served and would receive recognition,
though he would not venture a guess
as to whether it would be Senator
Davis or ex-Gov. Merriam who would
be the favored one.
Ex-Representative Ahlstrom, Of Hen
| nepin, who is a candidate for clerk of
| the house, is not disposed to back out
now that the reported compromise has
! been made between Bowling ct al He
! admits that the situation is not so
favorable for his candidacy, but pro-
| poses 10 stay IN the race.
Representative S. T. Littleton. re-
elected from Dodge county, is spoken Of
! as chairman of the judiciary com
mittee. He is lawyer Of high stand
ing and was a member OF the judiciary
committee two years ago.
I The contest for the speakership of the
house has been simplified by the elm

/ ships of the same body. Yesterday M.
]. Bowling arrived in the city and dur

and number of mutual friends. With
In short time an agreement had been
| arrived at concerning the clerkship.
Mr. Strain adopted the suggestion of
| his friends that the best thing to do
was to allow the old clerks-Dowling
| Strain and Dean-to go back to their

| house This proposition was agreed to
! by both Bowling and Strain, and a tel
egram was Immediately sent to Dean,
asking II the arrangement would be
agreeable. A few hours later Mr..
Dcwling had wire from Owatonna.
saying that Dean was in ST Paul and
up to a late hour last night nothing
had been heard from Dean. It is be-
lieved, however, that he will agree to
the arrangement. The compromise
was suggested by many members of
the old house, and Mr.. Strain said yes
terday that it was in Difference to the
wishes Of these old members that he
had agreed to the arrangement. Mr..
| Bowling said last night that he was
satisfied that in the contest for the DO
sition that he would have been elected,

that he had made and his friends had
assured him that they would stay by
