GRETTUM SENTENCED.
The Land Attorney Sent Over the Road for
One Year

One Year
|. Grettum, the land attorney who
was convicted in the United States
district court of conspiring to defraud
the government has been committed
to the penitentiary at Saltwater in
default of $1,000 bail for his appear
ance pending an appeal to the sup
rene court. He was sentenced by
Judge Lochren to one year in Still
water and to pay fine of $500.
The charges against Grettum were
that he induced variety actress
named Cora Benson to file on piece
of land and afterwards secured a ST.
CroiX avenue mullato woman to i'm
personate the Benson woman and
make proof on the land. The cor
respondence between Grettum and
the women was adduced in evidence
and was highly and sensationally col
ored with Minnesota Point language.
Considering the fact that Mr.. Gret-
tum is married man with a large
family, many of those who were pres
ent at the trial, say Grettum got off
with too light sentence. Ii the
supreme court sastains the verdict of.

Republican Ticket.

LIKE thunderclap from a clear
sky, was the announcement made
Friday that Sheriff w. W. Butch
art had bolted the Republican
party and would seek reelection
on an independent ticket headed
by Congressman Towne. The
public announcement has also been
made and the fact almost definitely
settled that complete silver
county ticket wsll be run in St.
Louis county. The flop of the
genial sheriff has created a sensa-
ton as he was conceded to be the
strongest candidate in the field for
denomination ON the Republican
ticket. In conversation with a
Duluth reporter, Sheriff Butchart
said: 81 am not candidate for
the Republican nomination and
shall not go before the county con-
vention. | am a Towne man first,
last and all the time. | believe as
he does, and / would not take a
nomination ON a ticket headed by
gold standard man as opposed to
Congressman Towne. | shall run
with him and full silver county
ticket will be put in the field.
The silver ticket will win out in
St. Louis county from president
down to the lowest office. Fur
thermore / believe John Lind will
be nominated for Governor and
be elected with 10000 votes to
spare. Towne cannot fail to get
10000 plurality in this district
and more if he wants them. L
have not left the Republicans for
this campaign alone. | will go
back to the party when it gets
back where it belongs. I mean
on the money question" The
bolt has caused considerable specu-
lation in this neck O the woods
as to who will be the nominee of
the convention as it was settled al
most beyond q doubt that Butch
art had everything bis own way.
The present trend of conversation
does not indicate this.
LAST Wednesday evening, the
Hon. Chas. A. Towne was official
ly welcomed into the fold OF, the
Populist party by shat political
iuggler, Ignatius Donnelly, say
the Duluth papers. There is no
doubt in our mind but what the
Hon. Chas. knows what he is do
ING, yet we think it a foolish move.
He has made good congressman
and his denomination by accla-
nation, was conceded at the St.
Cloud convention. His silver
views were known to everyone,
yet, Notwithstanding this he would
have received the undivided sup
port of the Sixth district Republi-
cans, not because he made a good
silver speech but because he. was
a good man for the district. Now
things are different and Chas. A.
Towne may be relegated to the
rear.

this city, five were antl-Clough.
IT is understood that at least
four of the present county officers
will follow the example of Sheriff
Butchart and bolt the Republican
party. The boilers are not show
ing the best of sense as the election
is yet four months away
and there is time for the
present silver craze to blow over
as soon as the enthusiasts get
cooled down and consider.

PRESS COMMENT.
Bryan in New York.

Bryan in New York.
This week the first presidential candi-
date from the western side of the great
river will be presented by his party be-
fore the metropolis of the east.
New York has long been familiar with
eminent political leaders. Her citizens
know distinguished men we'll enough to
be critical and we'll enough to be just.
The western Dem ocracy sends its young
interpreter and representative without
asking New York to suspend criticism.
Let him be judged severely according to
the standard fixed by any of the heroes
set up in the past by New York Dem
ocrats.
After he has appeared and spoken,
com pare him with any of the line, from
George Clinton to Samuel j. Tildan. If
the principles he enunciates are not as
truly American as theirs, if his bearing is
not as dignified and his vision as broad,
then let the Democrats of New York re.
fuse to accept the nominee selected for
them by the west and south.
And if the Demo of that powerful
eastern city hear clearer Jerffeson ian
note than they have heard before, let
them be liberal enough to express their
approval. If they find that the young
westerner can face vast gathering of
strangers, under extraordinarily trying
conditions, without committing a mis-
take, without sign either of fear or
bravado, without any deviation from the
path of what is worthy of great party's
spokesman, let them be just enough to
say what they think Of the man who thus
exemplifes the true grandeur of the ma
tion--a nation which breeds citizen in
every section for every emergency.-St
Louis Republic.
