To the Editor of the Globe.
In giving an account Of my final report OF
the transportation committee of the G. A, r.
encampment, OF which was chairman, your
reporter states that my report complimented
A: b. Stckney and the management Of the
Chicago Great Western Railway company for
the part taken in securing the low rate that
made it possible for the encampment to come
TO St.Paul. This statement is unjust and In
correct SO far as it relates to my report I
did not compliment Mr.. Stickney nor the
G. G. w. R. company specially but in a.
general way / congratulated all of the rail-
way arrangements of all Of the lines for the
efficient manner in which they successfully
and safely handled 14e,0e people without in
jury to a single person. The railways all did
splendidly, ana 1 do not wish to be con-
sidered narrow enough to heap fuisome
praise upon one, at the expense of all
the others. Your reporter misQueted me-
as he can easily verify, by examining nv
report, filed with President Mason. Kindly
make the correction. Very truly,
M. D. Flower.

NOUS prize thus offered to crime would
threaten the destruction of our whole
elective system.
( The existing system is crude and
needs to be reformed. What seems to
US a most desirable and proper change
would be to divide the electoral vote
of each state among the different can
didates in the proportion of the pop
ular vote cast for each. Thus Mime
sofa, having nine electoral votes, if
there were three candidates running. OF
whom one received 10000, another 90
600 and another 10000 this would en-
title the first to six votes, the second
to two and the third to one The Of
flee of elector itself would be abolished,
and the official returns would simply
decide how many electoral votes and
what fraction in each case should be
assigned to the different candidates.
The sum of all these would constitute
the total vote, and the candidate hav-
ing the majority would win as at pres
ent. This would retain the right of
each state to representation for it's
senators, would obviate the objection
of inequality between the voters in diff
ferent states, and would, in addition,
introduce the sound principle of minor
1ty representation. We hope to see this
reform brought about, although it will
be long before public opinion is edu-
Gated up to it. In the meantime, it
seems to US that change to a direct
vote Of the people would be about the
most useless and dangerous expert
ment that this nation could make.

GOLD DEMOCRATS.

While you are exulting over the victory
won, remember, independent and patriotic
voters who lost sight OF craftsmanship were
quite numerous this year. and it will not
do to call it a Republican victory. It is
Republican in name, but 1t is a patriotic
peoples victory, and the defeated party will
soon see it in the improved condition of the
times.-Dodge County Republican.
Sound money Democrats did good service
for peace, prosperity and sound money in
North Dakota. and the Republicans will not
forget it-Minto Journal.
Boiling Democrats should understand that
the votes which elected Mckinley were votes

IN the campaign. The defeat of Bryan and
the election of Mckinley is an Endorsement
OF a tariff for the protection of monopolies
and trusts.-Leavenworth Standard
The over jealous free silverites who ex-
PEELED Dan Lawler from the state convention

KEEP TO THE POINT.

The Eau Claire Leader, commenting
upon the congratulations offered by
the G o b e to the farmer on the rise
or wheat prices following the national
election, says
This won't do, you know. 1t was univers-
any agreed, by all the great writer's on both
siues curing the recent campaign that the
price of wheat in this country was regulated
by Mark Lane and now here comes our old
friend backslding.
We confess that we miss the point
OF the argument which is supposed to
be concealed about this statement
somewhere. First, it was not agreed on
both sides during the last campaign.
or prior to it, or at any other time
as far as we are aware, by the silver
people, that the price Of wheat Is fxed
III mark Lane. On the contrary, they
nave asserted most stoutly that the
price OF wheat depends upon the price
or silver. They said when wheat was
52 cents per bushel that we could NOT
expect q better return for it until we
mad legislation that would increase the
price OF silver bullion. Wheat and sill
yer rise and fall together was their
stock argument, and to helm one wa
must help the other. The rise of 30
cents per bushel in wheat since that
tlme without any material change in
silver prices knocked that argument
silly.
On the other hand, those who have
SAID that the price of wheat is fixed
by the Liverpool and London markets
do not find that this position is
lnVaiidated in any particular by the
statement made in our columns that
that little vote for sound money has
already been a great investment for
the Minnesota and the Dakota farmer"
The wheat markets of London and of
the United States have risen together
and in harmony. Why does wheat
bring more now than before election?
There is not single reason conceivable
except the difference in financial out
look. The shortage in supply was lust
as evident a month ago as todav. The
demand has not palpabIy increased
since then. But the money to handle
big amount Of wheat was not then
in sight The actual demand of buyers
in the market was limited by the cash
they had to buy with. They could not
get the usual supply Of money from the
banks, because the banks did not dare
TO give 1T out. Consequently, buyers had
to wait until after the election. and
the market was stagnant in the face
Of this particular cessation Of demand
why has the price risen since election g?
For no other reason than that capital
both in this country and in England. is
encouraged to go into all kinds of en-
terprises, wheat buying among the rest.
There is now enough money available
to handle the crop, and buyers are
active and prices rise correspondence.
There is no "backsliding" about this.
and no denial of The proposition that
wheat prices are fixed abroad, although
we hope to see that process reversed
before many years, but a very COM
plete confirmation of our remark that
the farmer Of the Northwest never did
better thing for himself than when
he put a certain 10 cents and a possible
5 or 10 cents more per bushel upon the
market value Of his wheat by declaring
for sound money.
