IMPLICIT THE PUNISHMENT.

St. Paul Globe: 1t appears that
a committee in Minneapolis have
been at work since the holding of
the recent primary elections of
the two parties comparing their
separate voting lists. It appears
further that large number of du.
plications have been discovered.
The political manager does not
readily relinquish his ancient hab.
it of overcoming hostile major.
ity in his own party at the pri.
maries by enlisting a sufficient
number of supporters from the
other. That was the way in which
the PRIMARIES were conducted in
the good old days before ballot re-
form had engaged the attention of
the law. It is also shown by this
work that it is to considerable ex.
tent the bad new way, as we'll.
But the time has come to put a
sharp and peremptory stop to it.
We have no doubt that the same
state of affairs that seems to have
been brought to light in Minneap-
oils could be shown to exist in
other large cities where there was
a close and exciting contest. The
ease with which primaries can be
carried where the balloting is. by
the old method and not under the
Austria liam system is great temp.
tation to a man with sufficient
stake in securing a nomination or
control of a convention. Undoubt.
eddy Republicans have voted at
Democratic primaries and Demo.
Gratis at Republican primaries,
and, to that extent. the free ex.
preston OF popular and party will
has been interfered with.
Perhaps the schemers who are
behind these little performances
have not reflected that they have
now become more dangerous than
heretofore. At the last session of
the legislature an act relating to
primary elections was passed, one
clause of which reads as follows:
''No person shall, during any one
calendar year, vote at the primary
election of more than one political

Four years ago the Democratic
party promised the people great
benefits from free trade and Dem
ocratic control Of Hhenatlon. The
effect Of their victory was hard
times for everybody except Dem
ocratic Office holders. This year
the public sentimentwas evidently
against the Democratic party, and
it was necessary to abandon the
old claims as issues of Importance,
and adopt some new program that
would be attractive to the Pop
ullsts. The men composing the
Populist party had always been in
favor of debased ourrency-pa-
per money based ON wind-ware.
house receipts-5O cent silver
dollars-or any plan based on the
Populist theory that declaration
of law can create value. The
Democrats knew they could win
Populist support by taking up the
free silver coinage plan, and they
could also get the support of the
wealthy crowd of silver mine
owners of the w est. Democ ratio
defeat was certain on any former
issue, SO the party went to the
Populists and silver mine owners
with the hope Of forming a COM
blnation that could again induce
the people Of the country to select
a Democratic administration.
The absurd promise of 'better times
by practically cutting in two the
value of the currency is depended
upon to entice the voters to in
vite more Democratic control.
What the country most wants is
an entire absence of Democratic
and Popu1istic authority in the
government of the United States,
and then good times will come.
The people were prosperous, wages
we're good and employment plenti.
full under the last Republican adj
ministration, and they will pe
again when Mckinley is elected
and puts in force American
protection laws and sound money
principles.
What the Republican party has
done, it can do again; and what
the Democratic party has done it
will do again. The success Of the
first named party means good
times; the success of the last
named worse times. That is the
lesson Of history, and the logical
prospect on the issues as they are
presented. Nothing in the record
of the Democratic party en-
courages the people to hope for
better times from Democratic sue
cess.
