1t is now anti-democratic to advocate
the single gold standard No living man
has any room for doubt as to what posi-
ton the party has taken on the coinage
question. Party loyalty forbids individual
members of the democratic organization
assailing the action of the highest party
power and authority. Especially is this
the case where individual members of
the party are going about over the state
speaking under the auspices of the DEM
ocratic campaign committee. If men are
so self-opinionated that they cannot
make speeches for the democratic party,
either state or national, without calling
into question the action of the highest
authority in the party they should be re-
tired from the stump, and that without
delay.
There was q time in the history
of the democratic party when such a
thing could be tolerated. The reason for
it was that the party had adopted a
platform open to different constructions.
But, fortunately, such is not the case
now. Not single plank in the party
platform adopted at Chicago last week
admits of more than one construction,
and all right of individual members of
the party to take issue with the majority
of the party which made its platform,
as TO the wisdom or unwisdom displayed
in making it has thereby been cut off.
When party meets in convention,
adopts a platform and names a. ticket
the duty of every member of the organl-
cation Is to accept as his own the plat
form and ticket so made, and to go forth
to spread harmony and not discord.
1t cannot possibly be conducive to party
harmony, and therefore to party success,
for men proclaiming membership in the
great democratic party to be going about
over the state under the auspices of the
democratic campaign committee setting
up their individual convictions and judg-
ment against that of the party. 1t should
be discontinued. No member of the dem
ocratic party has a right to raise his
voice against the pledges made in the
party platform until the people at the
polls have declined to accept them, or,
having accepted them, they are redeemed
and found to be unwise.
In the interest of party harmony and
party success we appeal to the cam
paign committee to withdraw from the
stump men who, under its auspices. are
going over the state holding their indi-
yidual judgment and convictions up TO
view before the people as against the
Judgment and wisdom of the party. In
the name of the great democratic party
of the United States we demand 1T.

The speeches of the Hon. +. H. Clarke
and DR.. r. M. Cunningham at Capitol
park reminded one forcibly of the ex-
preston made by Senator Daniel in his
speech accepting the temporary chair
inanship of the Chicago convention.
wherein he said in referring to the battle
of New Orleans: There stood John Bull
in pomp array and there was old Ken
tuck"

Mr.. Mckinley prates of preserving the
national honor, now SO fearfully i'm
periled by the free silver movement. To
say nothing of his votes in congress for
free silver, this is rare in view of his own
personal history. A few years ago Nc
Kinley became bankrupt, largely by rea-
son of the ruin wrought by his own tariff
law. He made an assignment of his as
sets, but, as usual, these did not pay all
his debts by a large amount. The un-
paid excess Is said now to be held largely
by Mark Hanna and others of his kind,
who are boosting Mckinley, in the hope,
doubtless, of getting back their sheckels
by his help in some way dispensed from
the White house. Mckinley maintained
his financial honor, how? By a general
assignment and a mortgage of himself,
soul and body, to the bosses of the money
power. His idea of maintaining the re-
public's honor is of the same fashion.
He would make a general assignment of
the country to bondholders by putting it
on the gold standard, and then clinch
the ruin by selling the people for all time
to come to boodlers, trusts and combines.

The State Herald regrets that Secre-
tary Herbert has deemed it meet and
proper to abandon the great party that
has so often honored him in the past.
However, he did not participate in the
primaries of the party and therefore has
the right to bolt the ticket and platform
If 1t does not suit him. While we have to
bid the great secretary of the navy adieu,
and regret to see him take the fatal step,
we are sure he is as powerless to stem
the flood tide of democracy that is now
sweeping over the country as an unborn
babe. His departure will make about as
much impression upon the democratic
tidal wave as would the thrusting in and
withdrawal of his finger from the At
lantic ocean have upon that majestic
body of water.

1t is all the more necessary when we
see heretofore democrats renounc-
ing their party allegiance that
the guards upon the watch tow
er should examine well the lines
and see on whom they can depend
front. While the democratic party will
receive with open arms recruits who be-
heve in it's principles and who will 10y
ally support its pledges and nominees,
the issues have been made and the line
of battle drawn, and what the party now
needs is volunteers, not conscripts, and
patriots as well as men. We
want no doubling Thomases who
feign would thrust the finger in
the wound to be convinced no
want no Benedict Arnolds to stand by
the flag in skirmish and then desert ii
on the march to Washington.

STORM REPORTS.

Reports of heavy hailstorm hav-
ing passed over that section of Sheri-
dan township in which Thos. j. Sloan
resides, we're carried to Belview Tues
day evening and brought to Redwood
Falls by Com. Olsen yesterday morn
ing
Interviews with farmers residing in
that section yesterday disproves first
reports, so far as the section east of
Mr.. Sloan's is concerned. Fred Deike
claims that there was very light hail
with no damage. Malcolm Milloy
states that there was no hail on his
place, while Marion johnson states
that hail fell, but did no damage in
the vicinity of his farm.
According to these interviews if
there was any damage it was at Mr..
Sloan's place and west of there. The
report was that hail had covered q
mile on either side of the river at
Sloan's and east.
A heavy rain fell to the southeast of
this city during Tuesday afternoon,
and in many instances laid the grain
low. 1t will trouble the reapers to
pick it up. South of here a heavy
rain fell and did some damage. In
the city heavy rain fell in the morn
ing and again in the afternoon.
Just before going to press L. II.
Hodge, residing near Sloan's, came to
town and reported that little or no
hail fell east or west of his place on
Tuesday.

AGAINST MR.. MADI6AN.
The Supreme Court Dlsbars the
Redwood Attorney.

Attorney Dolliff, for Michael M
Madigan, in the appeal of the latter
from the decision of Judge Webber
denying a writ of corem nobis, where
by the conviction proceedings were
sought to be annulled, received word
from the Clerk of the Supreme Court
yesterday that it had affirmed Judge
Webber's decision and that the con-
viction would stand.
He also received notice that the ap-
plication of the Minnesota State Bar
Association, seeking to have Mr.. Madi-
gan disbarred from practice in the
courts of this State, had been granted,
and Mr.. Madigan is now disbarred
from practicing in this State.
He may possibly remove to another
State as soon as his parole expires.
Attorney Dolliff, who has been
practicing with Mr.. Madigan for sew
eral months past, will continue his
practice with an office at the same
place. He will act as counsel in all of
the cases the firm has at the present
time and will be in the field for new
business,

loyal women. One day of each year
was set aside as memorial day, and all
the people were in sympathy with the
movement. The encampment held at
Louisville, on southern soil in 1895,
was the means of making a stronger
union than ever, the people all forget
ting the bitterness of war. As a re-
suit of the war down went the stars
and bars and higher went the stars and
stripes, and the shackles of slavery
we're broken. The flag since the war
has been called "Old Glory" The flag,
she said, is the most beautiful on
earth. It meant American ideas
taught on American soil.
At the close of Mrs. Goff,s remarks
she requested the members of the
summer school to rise, and salute the
the old flag with her. The salute call
ed forth a round of applause from
the old soldiers and others present.
Mrs. Golf was frequently applauded
during her remarks. A male quartette
composed of Messrs Martin, Kenney,
johnson, and Houck sang selection,
and responded to an encore after
which the audience sang America and
then dispersed.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

The people of Beaver Falls propose
to ascertain whether anything can be
done in the line of abating the tramp
nuisance. It appears that ever since
the county seat has been declared to
be Beaver Falls tramps have been
numerous in that town, and as re-
suit meeting of the people has taken
place, the result of which was the fol-
lowing whereases and resolutions:
Whereas, the people realize the
fact that the question of dealing with
that class of population known as
tramps is becoming a serious one
that they are unnecessarily numerous
and that they are a menace to the
safety of person and property, and
Whereas, many anxious inquiries
have been made what, if anything,
can be done to diminish the evil:
Now, therefore, in behalf of large
number of citizens having the safety
and the best interests of the people al
heart, the people of Renville county
are called upon to meet in convention
at Beaver Falls, on Saturday, July 25th
1896, at l o'clock P. M :, for the pur-
pose of considering the following:
l. What system can be adopted to
gather statistics concerning tramps,
to make them give an account OF
themselves, to discover who are the
vicious and who are the unfortunate?
2. What Legislation, if any, would
help control and in some measure
abate the tramp nuisance?
3. By what means can they be
compelled to work for being fed and
sheltered.
4. Can county organization be
effected establishing uniformity of
action in dealing with them?
Any other questions on the subject
will be gladly considered.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Herman Page of Flora Instantly
Killed.

Herman Page, young farmer re-
siding on the farm of his father-in-law,
F. Shoemaker of Flora, Renville coun-
ty, was instantly killed by a bolt of
lightning descending from a cloud
which passed over this city about five
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
A few minutes prior to the accident
Page was engaged in putting castings
on to his binder with the expectation
of going into the harvest field yester-
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-07-23

day morning. After getting the cast
ings on properly he started to walk to
the feed mill where several persons
we're engaged in grinding feed. When
but rod from the mill the bolt de-
scended and killed him. He was i'm
mediately picked up. A word or two
was addressed to him but aside from
the reactionary spasm Page never
moved.
Page was quite well-known in this
city, where he did more or less trad
ing. He was an honest upright young
man whom everybody liked. He was
about 81 years of age and came to
Renville county with his step-father,
Mr.. Lueck, from Wisconsin, about
eight years ago. Mr.. Lueck resides
near the Shoemaker farm Page was
married to Miss Celia Shoemaker sew
eral years ago, and leaves a wife and
three children to mourn his loss. The
youngest child is but three months of
age.
The funeral will be held to-day,
commencing at one o'clock. The pro-
cession will start from the residence
at that time, after which services will
be held in the Middle Creek church
and the body placed in it's final rest
ing place.

SCHOOL MEETING.
Election of Trustees Brings out a
Bio Crowd.

The animal school meeting for In
dependent District No. l, comprising
the city of Redwood Falls, was held
in the high school room of the school
house, last Saturday evening. G.. E.
Mckay and o. J.. Dornberg were
elected trustees for three years and
Mrs. w. B. King was elected trustee
for one year, to complete the unex-
pired term of G. w. Mead, resigned,
who was succeeded by James Aiken.
The election occurred amid a great
deal of excitement and the interest
was correspondingly great. There we're
practically three tickets in the field.
One of these was composed of mem
bers of the school board whose terms
expired on that evening. That is G.
E. Mckay and O. L. Dornberg we're
on the ticket for three years and Jas.
Aiken was on the ticket for one year.
A second ticket was in the interests of
certain parties who opposed the re-
engagement of certain teachers. That
ticket was composed of D. L. Bigham
and Mrs. 81. A. Baldwin for three
years and Mrs. w. B. King for one
year. The third ticket seems to have
had its inception with the w. G. T. U.
of this city, which organization first
took hand in politics last year. The
ticket was G.. E. Mckay and G. W.
George for three years and Mrs. w.
B. King for one year.
The second and third ticket leaders
displayed the most activity. 1t ap-
pears that they made general can
vass and secured many pledges. The
third ticket leaders distributed their
tickets freely during the afternoon of
the day of election and at about z
o'clock band OF w. G. T. U. ladies
appeared at the polls with enough
ballots to supply every voter in the
city. These ballots we're like the bal
lots distributed during the afternoon.
They we're on yellow paper. A pro-
test was filed at once, or as soon as
the distribution of these tickets be-
came general, and as a result the Ia
dies concluded to comply with the
law and distribute only white ballots.
The committee on ballots got a rustic
on to themselves and in Is minutes
there we're plenty of the white w. G.
T. U. ballots for the voters who
wanted to vote that ticket.
As soon as the meeting was called
the hour for holding the annual meet
ing was changed from to 8 o'clock
Hereafter the latter hour will be OBJ
served. Then the balloting began,
lasting for an hour. At the end of
that time 1873 ballots had been cast.
The result of the vote follows:

She Knew Her Rights wen.

She was evidently from the country.
and when she boarded a car and handed
the conductor dollar, with instruc-
tons to be sure that he made the right
change, he knew that she was not q
woman TO be fooled with. Following
the usual custom of conductors who are
short of change, he pockcted the note
and returned to the platform, intend
ing to give her 05 cents when he had
taken more fares. The passenger fol-
lowed his every movement with sus-
picion until the car stopped at Wash
ington avenue, when the conductor ran
ahead to see that the railroad tracks
were clear. Quick as fash the woman
jumped from the car, pursued the as
tonished conductor, overlook him, and
bclabored him with her green umbrella,
shouting: II knowed you was goin' to
steal it, you brass-buttoned theft
Only the interference Of bystander
saved the conductors skull, and no ex'
PLANTATION would satisfy the irate coun'
try woman until the change was placed
in her hand--Philadelphia Record.
