The report has been waited over various
parts of the State that the convention for Sc
lecting a State ticket will not be held until
September. This is probably a feeler sent out
to ascertain how it will strike the party If
this is the true explanation of the existence of
such reports the powers that be will soon be
made aware of the fact that a September con-
the busiest seasons Of the year to farmers and
they will be less inclined to spend two or three
days attending to politics than in the early
summer The only reason a late convention is
desired by the managers is thatfit may make
the Shedding harder for the candidates who are
opposing Governor Clough. All we ask for is a
fair and open contest and we will be satisfied
with the result.-Todd County Argus.
The anti-Clough organs all harp on
the same string. Who has ever heard
Gov. Clough say that he was in favor
Of a late convention? AS a matter Of
fact Gov. Clough would not care if the
convention we're to be held May 1st
The anti Clough people are needlessly
alarmed. The UNION. predicts that
the convention will be held not later
than the middle of July, and that Gov.
Clough will be nominated on the first
formal ballot.

But Lincoln's personality has been SO

HENNEP1N county has fallen down in
the prosecution of two criminal cases
which outsiders believe should be
pushed. One was the case of Billings
who was tried for perjury and escaped
conviction by a disagreement Of the

There is always a screw lost in the
judicial machinery when a big corpor-
alton is on the rack, and the dispatch
with which this one lost itself when
Billings began his determinations is
a pleasant testimonial Of the efficacy Of

CLOUGH STRENGTHENING.

? OAAOOOAA
7 The gubernatorial situation through
out the State has undergone some
changes during the past two or three
weeks. Those who were stating with
so much confidence that D. M. Clough
was defeated man, are now commence
ing to modify their opinions and count
him among the strong possibilities. It
is yet three months to the time of hold
ing the State convention and before
then many changes are likely to occur.
Whatever these changes may be they
will not injure Hon. D. M. Clough who
is now growing in popular favor every
week, He has made an excellent ex-
ecutive and no; good reason can be
given why he should not be reaomi-
nated.-Graad Rapids Magnet. II.

THE MINNEAPOLIS. PLATFORM

THE MINNEAPOLIS PLATFORM.
The Duluth Herald quite properly
takes the Minneapolis Journal to task
for going back on the Minneapolis
platform of 1892 and shouting for gold
recommendation. The Minneapolis
platform Of 1892 is the platform of the
Republican party until that Of 1896 is
adopted at ST.. Louis. It's pretty late
in the day for the Journal to claim that
the 1892 platform was not an honest
statement of the position of the party.
It is absurd for the Journal to set up
that gold monometallism is the. plat
form Of the party. If the convention
was in favor of the single gold stand
ard it would have said SO. That kind
of talk is what drives conscientious
Republicans out of the party to swell
the Populist ranks. If there were not
many hundreds of good free coinage
Republicans in Minnesota to-day, we
would not have at the front in our poll
tics such men as Congressman Towne,
John Lind, Frank Day, Frank Nye,
Senator Morgan and scores of others
of like views. -.
The Journal refers the Herald to the
Aitkin platform, which it claims to be
pledged to ''gold monometallism. . The
Journal says: ''The Herald thinks it
astonishing that SO many Republican
newspapers should clamor with such
vehemence for gold monometallism,
apparently trying to appear utterly
unconscious Of the fact that it is clam
oring for silver monometallism. 1t
must be one or the other. The last
Sixth district Republican convention
recognized the fact when it said. we
favor the use of silver as CURRENCY, but
to the extent only and under such re-
strictions that its parity with gold can
be maintained.' If that isn't gold
monometallism what is it? # the use
of silver is to be regulated, determined
and restricted so that its parity may
be maintained with some other dearer
metal, it means that other metal is to
be taken as the standard of value..''
The Journal is an able and valuable
newspaper and champion of the Repub-
lican party, but it makes a big mistake
when it attempts to pledge the Repub-
licans Of the Sixth district to gold
monometallism. That is a bigger job
than any gold organ can accomplish.
There is no district in Minnesota, UNI
less it be the Minneapolis and St. Paul
districts, that stands for gold mono.
metallism. s.s.
The Minneapolis platform Of 1892
said: 'sThe American people from ira
sdition and interest favor bimetallism,
and the Republican party demands the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money. That is not gold monometal-.
lism. That is better Republican doc.
trine, moreover, than even the Jour,
nails editorial columns. Il is the Re-
publican platform until the st. Louis
platform supersedes it.

OF OF being weakened by these attacks he
