OPPOSES A CHANGE.

Mr.. H. j. Miller, of the Rock County
Herald, who has been frequently men
toned as candidate for congress by
the opposition to Congressman Nc
Cleary, has evidently not been con-
suited by those wise-acres as to his in
tentjOnS. In this weeks issue of the
Herald in discussing the congressional
situation in this district, Mr.. Miller
says:
If enough candidates could be in
duced to enter the field, and these
candidates could unite their forces up
on one of their number, it is possible
that Mr.. McCleary might be defeated.
But in all these SpeculatiOnS, one very
important consideration is not taken
into account, and that is the strong
hold which Mr.. McCleary has secured
upon the confidence, respect and good
will of the people OF this district.
This is an element of Mr.. McCleary's
strength which candidates in every
part of the district will find it very
difficult TO overcome.
If the Herald has judged the prevail
ing public sentiment correctly, any
candidate who may attempt TO secure
a delegation opposed to McCleary in
any of the southwestern counties
would meet with many discourage
ments and would find the undertake
ing very unpopular. Mr.. McCleary is
regarded as a clean, able and cOnScien-
tious man, and his record thus far has
given general satisfaction.
The Herald believes that it is bad
policy to retire representative in
congress at the end of his second term
unless he has proved himself un-
worthy. Under this rule Mr.. Nc
Cleary is clearly entitled to another
term He has labored faithfully and
has disclosed ability which has won for
him merited distinction. Moreover,
in the two campaigns he has made he
has rendered great service to the r.
publican party. For these reasons,
and because of the evidence we have
that he is an honest man and sim
cere friend Of the people. the Herald
believes that Mr.. McCleary should be
returned to congress for another term.

WHAT 1T WOULD MEAN.

The st. Paul Globe remarks: "Let
the people know exactly what the
candidacy of Mr.. Mckinley means,
and what would be implied in his
nomination and election" Yes, by
all means let it be known. Let it be
waited on the wings of the morning
breezes to every farm house and wage
earners home throughout this broad
land. Let it float also on the evening
breezes, let it soak into and most eff
fectually permeate every fiber of this
great nation, so that every man,
woman and child from ocean to ocean,
from the great lakes to the Gulf of
Mexico, will not have to stop AN, in
slant to recall what his election would
imply. Should Major Mckinley be
the nominee at ST. Louis the great
Republican party would be only too
glad to have the people know what his
candidacy means and what his election
would imply.
First and best of all it would mean
a great industrial revival in this

FREE silver Republicans oppose Mr.. McCleary
simply because he is single gold standard
man and has repeatedly said that he stands ir-
revokably anchored to that system Those who
oppose the gold standard do so because they
think that system wrong and they will oppose
any man who is committed to it.-Madison In
dependent-Press.
But Mr.. McCleary is not single
gold standard man, nor has he ever so
declared himself. He has always been
friendly to the use of that metal to
the largest extent possible, and stands
squarely upon the Minneapolis plat
form, the last utterance of the party
upon that question. But he does
stand opposed to the unlimited free
coinage of 50-cent dollars and the con-
sequent debasing of our currency
through that channel. But aside
from this he stands in favor of the
largest use of silver consistent with
the safety of our financial system.
Consequently he stands for practi-
cable rather than a theoretical bime-
tallism.

country; it would mean that there,
would be no more steps toward
free trade; it would mean that
legislation which discriminates
against American labor, would be
wiped from our statute books, and
that the United State would legis-
late first of all for Americans.
1t would mean an end to bond sell
ing in times of peace, and his adj
ministration w9uld not witness the
spectacle of adding some 1858, 900, 900
to our bonded debt as has been the
case with the present free trade, reve-
nue. deficit, Democratic admin
stration.
1t would mean sufficient revenue in
the federal treasury to meet the cur
rent expenses of the general govern
ment and it would further mean that
the raising of this revenue would be so
distributed as to protect American
labor from the ruinOus competition of
the lily paid labor of the old wor d.
It would mean an administration
with strictly American policy, and
the country would be saved the
humiliation and disgrace of the repeti-
tion of any event similar to the Ha-
wall episode.
1t would mean stop to the prosti-
tuition of the public service for per-
sonal ends, and the advancement of
the civil service to a higher plane.
There would be witnessed no such
scenes as have taken place during the
present administration of trading pub
lie patronage to congressman in an at
tempt to secure this or that legisla-
ton.
1t would mean a business admins
tration in behalf of the great COM
mon people, clean and able in every
respect.
1t would mean justice to the old
soldiers, and stop to disgraceful spy
ing against them or in any branch Of
the public service.
These are a few things which the
candidacy of Major Mckinley would
mean, and if he is nominated at St.
Louis and his party will take good care
that the people will know it. The
Globe need not worry particle in this
respect. II will be thoroughly dis
cussed in every hamlet, in every town.
ship, in every farm house, and the
overwhelming answer which the peo-
pie will give in his behalf, will even
pale the great victories which attend
ed his Ohio gubernatorial experiences.
Major Mckinley stands close to the
common people, and if he is the nomi-
nee they will most emphotically de-
monstrate what his candidacy means.

"THE demand of the hour" said
Congressman Dolliver, addressing the
Iowa Republican convention the other
day, sis for somebody who understands
the everyday business Of the govern
ment of the United States; who can
read the account books on both sides;
what we take in and what we pay
out" Mr.. Dolliver is right, and the
Republican president inaugurated on
March 4th next will be just that kind
Of a man. Anyone of the Republican
aSpirants will answer the demand, but
Minnesota will particularly recon-
mend Senator Cushman K. Davis.

argument, all the government won d

as near making it horse as woud the

THE candidacy of Mr.. B. d. Smith,
of Mankato, for the office of attorney
general, is growing apace, and there
are good grounds for the belief that he
will capture the prize. There is every
reason why he should. He has the le-
gal qualitications,is fortunately situat-
ed, and is thoroughly popular with all
who know him. The Second district
will be heard from to effect in the
next convention.

THE Spanish prime minister says he
is convinced that Spain is possessed
of sufficient means to quell the Cuban
insurrection. Possibly she is, but she
does not quell it, and for more than a
year it has grown upon her hands
She has had to recall one commander
because he was inclined to be too
humane for Spanish ways of thinking
and send out another who has pro-
claimed all insurgents and their SYM
pathizers as bandits and brigands
whom he will proceed to exterminate.

Club Was Sufficient.
Officials Have Decided That Herea II +

trOlled by u Referee.

New York, March 2s.-The new Manhat-
tan A thletic Club has decided that in future
the decision OF all bouts should be LEFT TO
the referee and not to two judges. This
was the outcome of the decision in the
bout between "SCaly BIZ Quinn aud p ad-
dy PurteIl, which the two Judges, W, II.
Henry and Dave Lewis, gave in favor of
Purtell, when 'SCaldy Bill'' had the fight
won from start 10 finish.
There was not q Point IN Purtell' favor.
Certainly he was In the ring at the close
OF the tenth round, but he had been punched
into all sha pes, He was on the defensive
nearly the whole time, and when he did
lead he was met III every instance aud
chased around from one corner to another.
Quinn is Il Colorcd boy and = urtell is
white. This probably had Il little 10 DO
with the decision. AT the same time both
judges might have given their decision ac-
corning 10 their own convictions. If this
were the case, then they were Incompetent,
and should stick TO Il business they know
something about.
There Is no ucnying the fact that two
judges are acceptable at boxing bouts, as a
