Ex-President Harrison has promised
to campaign for Boss Platt's candidate
for mayor in Greater New York. He
undoubtedly expects to atone for this
later on by writinga magazine article, at
so much word, on the necessity of good
citizenship in politics. -.,~:.
The editor of the Minneapolis Times
has been indicted for criminal libel be-
cause he had the hardihood to denounce
and expose the rotten management of
certain trust companies in which Sam
Hill is interested. There should lie no
question as to the outcome. The Times
editor should be promptly acquitted and
complimented upon his courage and &C.
tivity as guardian of public interests.
There are more charges of bribery IN
Minneapolis. This time it is an accusa-
ton brought by Mr.. De Laittre of the
state capitol commission against Alder
man Alexander, charging him with an
attempt to bri5e De Laittre to vote as a
member Of the commission for Kettle
River stone. Alexander has been indict-
ed as result of De Laittre's statement,
but it is extremely doubtful if he can be
convicted.
The only recommendation Tams Blk
by possesses for governor is that he is
an astute politician and that is Won
derfully poor recommendations Anoka

Not when it comes to Republican
conventions, however. Past experience
goes to show that in all of these great
assemblages of larty patriots, every re.
commentator, other than that of polit-
ical astuteness, pales into insigniicance.
Future conventions will verify this.
They are having hot old time, polit-
ically, in Greater New York. Decent
Republicans have nominated an able
and conscientious citizen for MAYOR in
the person of Seth Low. Benjamin +.
Tracy has been put forward as the regu-
lar Republican nominee by Thomas G.
Plat. Silver Democrats have agreed on
the great single-taxer, Henry George,
while the Tammany Democracy have
hoisted the name of Van Wyck, Bryan
man. If all remain in the field, Greater
New York is sure of having machine
man for mayer.
Senator Davis should be his own sue
cessor. In point of ability he stands
side by side with Garfield and Blaine
Lamberton Sta1.
The Review, is willing to admit that If
the next Senator is to be Republican,
1t should be Davis. AS to being the
equal of Blaine, however. we have our
doubts. Were Blaine in Davis position
today, we believe he would force the ad-
minlstration to see the Justice and
righteousness of recognizing Cuba. The
word of no other man in public life to-
day could have the weight in this mat
ter that has Senator Davis, and, if he
were Blaine, he would exert the inf1u-
ence which is his.
This plan OF nominating party candl-
dates for senator has prevailed in one or
two states tor several years and we have
never yet heard Of a legislator betraying
the trust imposed on him by such action,
and see no reason why Minnesota should
lie any exception to the rule.-Elk Rlv-

The knowledge Of the STAR News edi-
tor, to say the least, is not very extern
sive. Brown county has more than once
sent to the legislative halls a man who
was ready to betray such trust, and
the better element would have hard work
to prevent its being done again. When
Senator DAVIS was last elected to his pres
ent position in the senate, not only had
the Republican state convention endorsed
him, but the district convention which
nominated the senatorial member from
this county exacted the strongest kind
of a pledge and the senate member even
went SO far as to go into the Republi-
can caucus and vote for Davis. Nor was
he the only one who did this. But when
