Republican CITY Ticket.

Pursuant to call the Republicans Of
Van Buren, to the number of about t50
met at Murta Opera House Monday
night to nominate candidates to be voted
for at the coming city election. JAS
Morell was elected to preside over the
meeting and Ed. Somers as secretary.
Without further preliminaries the
nomination of candidates was taken up.
Mr.. Alvis Smith, being the only one
nominated for Mayor, was declared to
be the nominee of the party for that
Office. The same was the case in the
nomination for Recorder, for which
Office DIR. H. c. Johnson was selected.
For Treasurer there were four candi-
dates and F. R. McIiibben was elected
on the first ballot. For Marshal there
were five entries and on the second
ballot A. NJ Orrick was elected. The
following were selected Aldermen:
First Ward-Fred e. Cooper and F
M. Kennedy.
Second Ward Chas. Culver and
Henry Pape.
Third Ward-I. A. Campbell and
Jacob Yoes.

weeks. Certain it is that the plat
form has acted as a damper on great
deal Of Mckinley enthusiasm in many
parts of the country.

ONE of the most important Offices
to be filled at the election this fall is
that of attorney general of the state.
There is one man in the Red River
valley who is re-eminently qualified
for the position, both by reason of his
ability and because of his past servic-
es in behalf of this section of the
state. That man is the Hon. w. B.
Douglas, of Clay county. Mr.. Doug
las was one of the representatives of
the 50th senatorial district in the low
er house of the legislature and his
record should entitle him to the solid
support of the voters of the valley.
1t was Mr.. Douglas who introduced
and pushed through the bill making
appeals from the orders of the rail-
road and warehouse commissioners
triable in the county where the COM
plant originated. Prior to the pass
age of this act the railroad companies
could remove these cases to any court
through or into which their lines of
road ran. They usually found it
convenient to remove them to Ramsey
or Hennepin counties and the CON-
plainants continued to complain. Now
the appeals will be tried where the
party or parties making the complaint
will have reasonable assurance of
securing justice. J.:
Another matter that Mr.. Douglas
fought for was the Red River Valley
drainage appropriation. It was
mainly through his efforts that the
bill became law after it had been
condemned as unconstitutional by
Attorney General Childs. The opin-
ion of the chief legal adviser of the
state was overruled on the arguments
presented to the senate judiciary COM
mittee by Mr.. Douglas. Then he
pushed the bill through the house
and everyone in the valley appreci-
ates the benefits which will ac-
crue from it's passage. Mr..
Douglas is now "a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for Attorney General, and, in justice
to him, the vote, not only in Marshall
county, but Of the entire valley should
he cast for him without his asking or.
suggesting such action. -:

to admire him for being sincere and
true to his convictions. He has act

The Register, this week, wonders
eff our local contemporary will swal-
low the financial plank Of the St. LOU
is PLATFORM" Well, now, worthy
contemporary, that is altogether too
sudden! In our youth we were ad-
monished to exercise great care in re-
gard to what we swallowed. We be-
lieve that was good advice and hence
do not propose to swallow as big a
thing as gold plank without invests
eating thoroughly what it is. It might
be dangerous to do so. Four years
ago we swallowed a plank which de-
clared in favor of both gold and sill
yer as standard money, both bread
and butter, as it were. Now we are
asked to swallow single gold stand
ard plank only butter, we might say.
Well, we are free to admit that we
have had decided leaning toward
silver in the past. We have believed,
and do yet believe, that the coinage
of silver would benefit the farmers of
the country, and all dependent upon
them for business and support. Now
we may be mistaken. If we are, no
one will more cheerfully and unhesi-
tatingly give up the most cherished
opinions than we, whenever it is made
plain to us that truth does not sus-
tain them. Are we wrong?

The result of the St. Louis conyen-
tion is, no doubt, ere this known to
our readers. William Mckinley, of
Ohio, and Garret A. Hobart, of New
Jersey, are the standard bearers of
the Republican party for president
and vice-president. AS far as con-
Germs men, the convention voiced the
sentiments of the rank and file of the
party, but the adoption of gold
plank displeases a host of free silver
republicans. It will serve the pur-
pose, however, of making a straight
fight on the financial question, which
will be the main issue in this cam
paign. Senator Teller and a num-
ber of silver delegates withdrew from
the convention and declared they
would not act with the party in it's
attempt to perpetuate the single gold
standard. Minnesota cast her eight
cen votes solid for the gold plank,
prepared by ex- Gov. Merriam. They
did not reflect any silver sentiment,
but it is known to exist, nevertheless,
to quite an extent within the party in
the state. Congressman Towne, of
the Duluth district, upon the adop-
ton of the platform, declared his
withdrawal from the party, and he
will make the race for congress as an
independent. An attempt will be
made to unite all the silver men of
the country on one ticket, and what
proportions this movement will as
sumo will probably develop in a few
