Republicans Delegate Convention

As usual the Republicans cot INFO a
family row on Saturday. It isa wonder
mere were not more factions present
Ihdh delegates, as It was there were al
most as many. Mr.. l.. q. Mills as usual
'rled to run things, but he was soon
convinced that he and his division
were not IN the maj Dritv. From Mr..
Mills remarks 1t can easily be inferred
that ne dld not favor .. X. Anderson

as II he favored not making anv choice

put there l. no use in Mr. Mills setting
himself up as Il retormer and attempt
ing 10 run things here politically, for
tne people have had all they want of
MN, ana would as soon one gang as an
other OF similar characteristics be in
the lead. If We could free ourselves of
the political ropes and wires and come
out and select good fair men, regardless
OF the influence they might be able to
bring or throw to someone else. We
might hope for something better, but
While there may be improvement, and
cleaner and less expensive campaigns
lnangurated, it will always follow as
sure as election day follows the conyen-
lions, that some power must be lnfiu-
enced in order to win the dav. and
down goes the high standard we have
stood for. There Is no politician in Su-
perIor, no matter to what organization
he belongs, that will attempt to deny
these acts. There have been men Sc
lected from the best surroundings, I'M
der most favorable conditions, for the

who can deliver a certain vote. No one

Populists Nominate.

According to candidate Starkweath-
ers figures he should have gotten about
= votes in the populist convention Sat
urday evening, but the proposition to
unanimously nominate by reclamation
Mr.. Munro went through with such Il
rush that the secret ballot plan of the
Starkwcather crowd did not have a
chance at all. 1t is supposed that there
were delegates pledged to support both
men, and had a ballot been taken the
shown. As it was, Mr.. Munro had ey-
erythlng his own way. The convention
very wisely endorsed \. J. Ninie to
succeed himself as circuit Judge. Mr.
Starkweather is still looking for sup
port, and II not nominated by any party
will no doubt run independently.

Since William Dean HoYells first in
terviewed a Traveller from AItruria, .
that country where the common good
is observed, has commanded certain
amount of interest, and now there is
running, in one of The magazines, an
account of visit to that speculative
district. But Altruria, whatever Its
merits, could not be any better than
the territory traversed by the Saint
Paul 4 Duluth Railroad, for that ter
ritory is picturesque and productive
and peopled by the best class of citi-
zens. The st. Paul 4 Duluth Railroad
is more generally known as the Duluth
Short Line, and has enjoyed that title
for years among its patrons, for it
Is the best line TO take when travelling
between st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylors
Falls and other important Northwest
ern points 1t has always been noted
for its ample facilities, as il runs fast
and luxurious trains smoothly over Il
fine roadbed between the finest tcrmi-
mails, where close connections are made
with trains running to all parts Of the
country. The man who takes the
DuIuth Short Line always has plenty Of
company. Maps, circulars, folders and
general information are easily had by
applying TO ticket agents, or may be
had by writing to W. a. Russell, Cen

The Dry-Goods Market.

NEW YORK, April 2O.-The week in
the dry-goods market opens with con-
tinued good weather, not so hot as most
days last week, and all the better for
seasonable trade on that account. Rhsi-
ness in the primary market shows some
Improvement I'm the aggregate but the
increase Is not well distributed, being
divided mainly between brown cottons
and printed fabrics The latter have
been particularly affected by the fine
weather. but the former appears 10 be
receiving more attention on the merit
Of extremely low prices and the cropping
out here and there OF a well-sold-up con-
dition. The undertone OF the market
Is improving Some sellers are showing
stiffness. and have their reward In local
instances OF bids. which they rejected
only within a few days, being renewed
for quantities on a somewhat higher basis,
hut this feature is confined, at present,
al all events. to heavy brown cottons.
The woollen-goods departments are with
out material change
The demand for men's-wear fabrics con-
Times dull, but a fair volume Of business
is passing In woollen and worsted dress
goods.
