A PINKERToN CANDIDATE.

1t is an affair that needs some ex-
planation, that the Pinkerton force
should be engaged actively in behalf
of the Republican candidates for office
in st. Paul. What Is the inducement
for this remarkable activity? Have
any promises been made of future
promotions? Are we to have a. repe-
tition of the state of things that pre-
vailed during the administration Of
Mayor Wright? And how do the
workingmen Of the city enjoy it, any,
way, to have a Pinkerton candidate
offered to them for their acceptance? Z?
We are Of the opinion that the peo-
pie Of this city are quite competent to
decide their political affairs without
any assistance from this source. They
have right to resent the employment
of any such means to induce men to
vote the Republican ticket. We are
much mistaken In their temper If
the Pinkerton candidate. does not find
his association with that name a most
unfortunate occurrence, and this move
one Of the most disastrous Of cam
paign which, thus far, bristles with
failures and mistakes that are alienat-
ing daily still more of the voters of
st. Paul from any possible thought Of
supporting Mr.. Doran.
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-04-23
GET OUT THE VOTE.

While yesterdays registration was
gratifyingly large, amounting in all to
over 10000 names, it is evident that a
strong and concerted effort must be
made in the next two days to get out
the balance Of the vote. The entire
registration for the first two days Of
this year Is a little over $4,000. Equal
ly good work must be accomplished
on the only remaining day, to have the
registration equal that Of two years
ago. AS a rule, the last day Of regis
tration is comparatively light; and un-
less active canvassing is done person
ally tomorrow and the day following,
of our voters disqualified for the suf-
frage. This must not be. Never be-
fore were the issues clearer and more
important than they are at this time.
No good citizen can afford to have for
getfulness or neglect intervene be-
tween him and the performance Of a
duty that he owes to this community.
The contest is between a good, clean,
business-like administration of munic-
tpal affairs, under the guidance Of o.
o. Cullen, whose name is a guarantee
Of uprightness, honesty and fidelity to
principle, and an administration by
Mr.. +. B. Doran, whose success would
mean perfect carnival among the
spoilsmen and heelers who made his
candidacy possible. 1t is admitted by
c1 f1rI
Doran is not the choice Of majority
Of his party. It is admitted that there
stand behind him all those influences
that are most to be dreaded In local pol
ttics. 1t is admitted that he Is a cam
didate and representative Of the ma
chine which took the nomination out
Of the hands Of the people and con-
ferred it upon the man who has been
planning and promising for the last
three years to secure a place for which
he is without qualification.
The people know what to expect.
Their choice lies between an ideally
upright and capable government, Of
fered to them by the Democratic
ticket, and a complete surrender of the
offices to the fine political workers for
the next two years to come Every cit
izen Of st. Paul should gladly do his
share to determine this contest in fa-
vor OF the right. The first step to that
is to get out the vote. Let the hardest
work Of the campaign up to date be
done between this and o'clock on
Saturday evening, when the poll lists
will be made I'M

Nell Gwynne" is the play to be produced by
Mile. Rhea and her company at the Metro
politan tonight and Saturday night. During
the reign of Charles H.. of England, Nell
Gwynne. young woman of great beauty, sold
oranges as well az iadnirers. She resisted all,
however,, but finally yielded to the magnetic
influence of Kings Charles. She became his
mistress, and was true to him through life.
Upon the death Of the king. Nell Gwynne re-
tired. and historysasserts that from that time
to the day of herS death she led a quiet and
respectable life, Ihelp deals with the at
tempt of Lord Chief Justice Jefreys to crafty
personal malice against Sir Roger Fairfax,
the friend of NeA GBynns. for alleged Of
tense against the king. But for the interposi-
ton OF Nell Gwynpe, Whose wit proved more
than match for the chief justice, Sir Roger
would have gone to tie block; but Nell saves
him, thus repaying. early kindness to her faith
er and herself. The costumes of the sixteenth
century will interest all. especially the ladies,

Gus Hill's Novelties, the current attraction

things that have been said of 1t. There are

Louis county will be almost certain to
send such a one. The Seventh and
Second congressional districts will
send some delegates either actually adj
vocating free coinage or else afraid to
antagonize 1t for fear Of personal re-
suits. The First, Third and Fourth,
district delegations will be nearly solid
ard.
There should be no inertness among
those who appreciate the danger Of
financial CONFUSION and the vital i'm
portance to all our Industries, to every
man, woman and child, Of keeping our
money standard as high as that Of the
nations with which we do the far
greater part Of our exchanging. The
attitude of the Republican party now
confirms its past, and leaves to the
Democratic party the mission to re-
form our monetary system on purely
Democratic lines. The administration
of President Cleveland has outlined
that policy in its recommendations to
congress, and the Democrats Of Min
nesota should take position behind 1t.
A gold standard; a enforcement of the
government and banking; the remis-
sion, under governmental supervision,
of the provision Of credit money to the
people, analogous to the practice in re-
gard to metallic money, is position in
harmony with every Democratic princi-
pie, and Minnesota Democrats can af-
ford to take no other. When this craze,
for such it is, shall have passed away,
the Democracy Of this state, assuming
now, in the hour of peril, SO sound and
brave a position, will share the credit
always given to the defenders Of the in
terests of the people. 1t is not only
right, but it is the best politics, as
the right always is.

ocratic voter from the shock Of split
and a civil war within the party itself.
Why should any such contingency be
invited when it offers only certain loss? +?
It is not more sure that the sun is
shining in the heavens than that the
people Of this country will never place
in power. after their recent experience,
any party that even hints at tamper-
ing with the money standard. The
Republicans have been quick to
see this. Outside Of the silver produc-
ing states, their free coinage men have
yielded generally and promptly to the
obvious fact that the people would
have none of them. To be blind to the
present condition Of public opinion is
an objectionable folly, as well as a
wrong. The Democratic party has one
chance and just one of success this
year. The way. to it is pointed out by
the Democrats of Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island Any other road leads to
both defeat and disgrace. Let Demo-
Gratis everywhere face the issue and
determine 1t bravely and honestly.

DUTY OF MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS

Stearns county is the first to lead
off with a call for county conven-
tion to select its thirty-six delegates
to the state Democratic convention,
which will choose four delegates at
large and fourteen district delegates
to the national convention. The state
convention will have no contest about
presidential nominees to settle except
as the question may be an incident
Of the larger and more vital one Of
the candidates position on the money
question. That will be the bone of
contest if there is to be one. Of this
there is some probability, though in all
the estimates made of the attitude Of
the different state delegations in the
convention, Minnesota's Is ranked
among the sound money ones. It is
not only useless but may be mis-
chievous to accept this rating as being
unquestionable. It would lead to a
false security on the part of the sound
money Democrats that might result in
the capture of the convention by the
advocates Of free coinage.
However strange it may seem, there
are in the state a good many good
Democrats who fail to perceive the
intimate association of free coinage
Of silver at an entirely fictitious ratio
with Republican protection. They may
have been beguiled by the use of the
word free" and they may have come
to think that a fiat of government can
create values. Some are sore pressed
financially, and imagine that none
tary revulsion would, in some way,
help them out of their distress. Any
way, whatever the cause, there are
enough Democrats of this way of
thinking to make 1t incumbent on the
sound money Democrats of the state
to be on the alert between this and
the date Of their respective county
conventions. The free silver contin-
gent is strongest in Minneapolis, and
may dominate that delegation. st.

ENGLAND'S POLICY.
A Strong Address Made by Joseph
Chambe rlQin.

LONDON, April 22.-Joseph Chamberlain
made speech at the Constitutional club to-
night containing many interesting references
to the political situation. Mr.. Chamberlain
said that the whole policy of Lord Rosebery,
late Liberal premier, was long record of un-
broken failure. With reference to the colo
MES, MIR. Chamberlain declared that there were
two governing factors in the situation in South
Africa The first was that England must con-
tinue to be the paramount power and would at
all risks and costs resist any foreign interfer-
ence The second was that, as, owing to the
peculiar situation, the Dutch were likely
for many years to be in the majority, it was
the duty of statesmen to do their utmost to
maintain the friendship between the English
and Dutch.
With reference to the anomalous situation
OF the Transvaai refusing the common rights
OF citizenship to majority Of its population,
Mr. Chamberlain said he was confident that
he would ere long restore the situation as
1T was before the, invasion Of the Transvaal.
The Matabele rising, he pointed out, was
quite separate affair. The government was
alive to its gravity. but believed that the
local forces would be. able to suppress 1t,
and they therefore did not intend, unless In
an unexpected emergency. to send large
detachment Of the British army to South
Africa. &a-.s.
