Secretary of State Berg is entitled
to the vote of every man, Republican
or Democrat, who believes in the tax
alton of railroad land. By his clever
management in the makeup Of the
State ticket the proposed amendment
to the constitution for the taxation of
railroad lands was placed at the head
of about eight constitutional amend
ments. All that the proposition con-
tains is "For the taxation of railroad
lands" Everybody will see it and it
is probable that every voter will vote
for it, even if they do not vote for the
other amendments. We have been
assured that the placing of the propo-
sition in the place and manner in
which it has been placed will insure
the carrying of the proposition not
withstanding the fight of the railroads

State Treasurer Koerner has been
unusually careful in handling State
funds. Whenever a bank, in which
the State had money on deposit, was
presumably insolvent, he has required
a new bond with good securities. On
last week he secured new bond from
the Marine Bank of Duluth just be-
fore it suspended. His guardianship
will be rewarded by reelection.

Using the vote for congressman two

Triplicate Candidate Bryan the solid
vote of the Democrats, Populists, Pro-
hibs, etc., Mckinley will still have a
majority of from 25, 900 to 10000. tits
fair to assume that Mckinley will gain
on the congressional vote. Using the
same vote for Governor, David M.
Clough will be elected by from 1900
to 10000 majority.

State to Mckinley by 10000 and to
Gov. Clough by 5000. Jerry j. fig
ures on six out of seven congressman,
leaving the result in the seventh dis
trict very doubtful. The estimate on
the Presidential result is very conserv-
alive. The GAZETTE believes that Nc
Kinley will carry the State by from
$4,000 to 10000, and that after Nc
KinIey receives 10000 Gov. Clough's

"Shall there be constitutional con-
vention" is question to be voted up
on by the people of Minnesota at the
next general election. There is no
doubt but what the constitution of
the State should have been revised
long time ago but the question has
been put, and with a great deal of
yigor, is the constitution to be revised
by a lot of delegates who know no
more about the needs and wants of
the people than they do about addi-
ton? The average legislator thinks
more about seeing the sights of big
city than he does about attending to
the business of his constituents. In
fact, he very soon forgets his constitu.
ents on arriving at the capitol. If
good men can be sent as delegates to
the constitutional convention such
convention should be held. If poor
men are to be sent up it would be
better not to hold the same.

for it should vote for Albert Berg for

VOTE FOR CLOUGH,

There can be no good reason ad-
vanced why Republicans and self
respecting Democrats should vote for
John Lind for Governor. John Lind
has deserted the Republican party.
Time after time the Republicans of
this district honored John Lind with
the nomination and election of con-
gresham. They elected him to con-
gross when every other district in the
State sent up Democrat or Popu-
listto represent them. Mr.. Lind, after
thus being honored, turned upon his
past friends, became the mouthpiece
of the silver mine owners, has swal-
lowed the Chicago platform plank of
Reputation and anarchy and the re-
construction of the Supreme Bench,
and is using all of his efforts to de-
liver the electoral vote of Minnesota
to Bryan, the head gear of the Repudi-
ationists. He is attempting to defeat
the candidate of all good Republicans
for President-Wm. Mckinley. Why
should the Republican voters of the
State help elect man to the highest
position in the State, who is attempt
ing to defeat their candidate for the
much more important position of
President of the United States.
The election of Mr.. Lind to the posi-
ton of Governor would naturally be
termed Popocratic victory. Would
it not have the same effect upon Min
nesota as the Populist rule Of Kansas?
Would it not drive Eastern money out

ed the most? Republican voters,
sound money Democrats and all citi-
zens having their own welfare and the
welfare of the State at heart will do
we'll to consider these facts before they
cast their vote for Mr.. Lind.
Another reason why good Demo
Gratis cannot consistently vote for Mr..
Lind. In 1883 Mr.. Lind stated that
while all Democrats are not in the
Saltwater penitentiary it was never
theless fact that nearly all of the in
mates of the prison were Democrats.
A good Democrat will repudiate Mr..
Lind's slur upon him by casting
vote for D. NJ. Clough for Governor.

Mrs. NJ. S. Lockwood, who occupied the
chair at Mrs. Fosters request, appointed
as tellers for the election Miss Washing
ton. Mrs. Tittmann, Mrs. Draper and Mrs.
Denison. BY the time the roll call was
fullest extent, every seat on the floor being
occupied and in the galleries number Of
interested spectators were compelled to
stand throughout the morning. The roll
call showed that there were 245 delegates
present and entitled to vote. All the votes

course, a foregone conclusion.
The Vice President General.
Then came some more confusion. Yes
terday the congress provided for a new
officer. a vice president general, as an
assistant to the president general. When
the ballots We're distributed it was found
that they We're the ballots for the vice
president general in organization. Some of
the delegates thought they ought to vote
for one of these candidates first, and some
thought they ought to vote for the other.
After some lively wrangling it was decided
to vote for the vice president In charge
of organization.
Mrs. Chas. S. Johnson, the present in
cumbcnt, nominated her own successor
Mrs. Philip Hichborn, and Mrs. Mclean
TcIHiHdleu MIS- oil SOI tldilul
Hamilton of New York. Then the meeting
was in an uproar again, every state dele
cation trying to second one or other Of
the nominations.
Judging by the number of states that
seconded the nomination it was evident
that Mrs. Hichborn was, by large ma
jority, the choice of the congress. She is
the wife of Naval Constructor Hichborn,
and a register general last year proved
herself one of the most efficient officers
in the society.
The tellers of the election for president
general announced that 196 ballots had
been cast OF this number 1S2 were for
Mrs. Stevenson, and she was declared
elected. 1t was moved that the election be
made unanimous, but Miss DeSha entered
an objection.
Vice President General Presiding.
Mrs. Dickins nominated Mrs Rose
Bracket of the District of Columbia as
first vice president general presiding and
the statement was made that Mrs. Brack-
EFT was Mrs. Stevenson's choice as her as
sistant. Mrs. Donald Mclean and Mrs
Hogg of Pennsylvania were also NOM
mated. but withdrew their Names
Then followed a lively discussion on the
question of just what Mrs. Stevenson had
said. Mrs. Mccarthy, a delegate from
Wilkesbarre, Pa. secured a hearing, and
said:
Madame President, I simply rise to ask
advance of her own election, expressed sry
preference as to who her assistant was to
be. If it is. only want to say that it is a
most unheard of proceeding"
Mrs. Dickirs and Mrs. Morgan made ex
plantations, which put the affair in q more
satisfactory light. A motion was made
that the nominations be closed, but this did
not suit Mrs. Allen, a handsome young
delegate frem Massachusetts. She en-.
deavored to secure a hearing, but she
would have needed voice like a foghorn
to be heard above the confusion,

WAS 1T A HOAX.
DR.. DHlrs Story About the Jcanncttc
Relics CuntrudictcI.


Relics CuntradictcI.
The assertion by DR.. Dali of this city that
the alleged Jeanette relics were placed on
an ice foe off the Greenland coast by some
Of the young officers on the Yantic in 1883
has aroused considerable discussion. As is
generally known, DIR. Nansen believed that
the relics had drifted across the north pole
from where the Jeanette sank. Dr. Dali
says that the thing was all hoax. A New
York Herald reporter saw Surgeon Homer
l.. Law, t.SN., retired at his home in
Hartford. Conn, last night. He was medi-
cal officer on the Yantic, one of the ships
of the Greedy relief expedition, in the sum
n.er of 1893.
AS to the story that the relics could have
been placed on the ice by seamen or Off
GERS on the Iantic as joke, Mr.. Law
laughed at the whole thing as absurd
why said he. the Yantic sailed right up
to Little Island, following the Proteus in
clear water. We crossed Melville bay in a
straight line. and thus avoided the ice
which made the Proteus so much trouble,
as indicated by her Zigzag course on the
way.
I'VE had absolutely clear water all the
way, and as came back running in and
out in search of the Proteus' crew, We kept
Gear of the ice. During all the trip we
were not in contact with any ice foes upon
" l1ch relics COULD have been deposited by
the officers or men as a lark or a joke.
There is nothing at all in the story
What Ninderman Says.
William Ninderman, one of the survivors
OF the Jeanette expedition who has been
quoted as one of the authorities for the
story that the affair was a hoax said:
''There is no truth in the statement that
l was among the seamen who were on the
Yantic, VINO We're questioned as to the al
legged relics of the Jeanette that were
fo und on the ice foe on the southwest
coast CT Greenland. l was never on the
Yantic. l might have talked to Dr. BeS-
sells, who is a friend of mine. at the time
/ was in Washington during the investiga-
ticn that was held there in 1883. / think
that was the year. But never before now
heard any such story that about the
younger officers of the Yantic putting al
legged relics on the ice foe to fool some of
their superior officers. l don't believe any
such story.
''As to one of the articles enumerated be-
ing a pair CT trousers made of oiled linen
ma rked Louis Noros,' who was one of the
men saved from the Jeanette. 1 can only
say II at we had oiled linen trousers on the
JeaErette, but we did not take them with
lis. Whether they came up or not when
the ship went down. I don't know. Nor do
1 know whether Noros had his name mark
ed on his trousers or not"
Commander Berry, who went on the jean
nette relief expedition in 1881 said as to
the statement that these things that were
said to have been found on an ice foe had
been put there by the junior officers on the
1antic, that that was exceedingly improb-
able, as the mission in which the Yantic
was engaged was too serious to permit of
such a prank 1t was hardly Just to accuse
men of such a thing as that without hay-
ing the strongest possible evidence of its
truth.
