ORGANIZATION, NOT THE
MACHINE, WANTED.

Here and there Republican paper
suggests that the machine racket"
was overdone in the late campaign, or
more correctly speaking, in the cam
paign leading up to the nominating
convention. After'carefully surveying
the result it seems to, usithat the dan
ger of the machine was not set forth
any stronger than the case warranted,
in fact the grorification of some Of
the members of the old machine over
Limbs election justifies the move that
was made against it. The statement
from some sources that the party can
not win without the said machine to
manage the campaign, is weak indeed.
The people of this state do not need
desire boss, and we do not believe
they will tolerate one. What is
needed is a good party organization,
not in the interest of any one man or
any few men, but in the inter
est of the entire party. In the first
place the state convention should
elect it's state committee, as is done
elsewhere to large extent. The del
egates from each judicial district get.
ting together and selecting their rep
resentative on the committee. And
then the convention should elect the
chairman who is to guide the fortunes
of the party. This is most import
ant reform that ought to be carried
out by the next state convention in
the interest of good, sound party
organization. In that way the party
has the selecting Of it's guiding ma.
chinery. 1t works we'll in other
states, and there is no question but
that it will work just as well in Min
nesota. If the old machine has got
to be resurrected in order to run
things for the party, then the Repub-
licans will deserve the defeat that
will surely await them in the future
and which will be far more extensive
than that which the treachery of the
machine was able to help make it on
the ticket at the recent election.

From all appearances it would seem
that the incoming legislature will not
lack for applicants to fill the various
places of trust and soft-snaps. The
early bird is already out scratching
for political gravel as will be seen by
the following list of aspirants:
Rev. VIM. Wilkinson, of Minneapo-
lis, wants to be chaplain of the senate.
M. ]. Bowling, Of Renville, would
be glad to be selected as chief clerk
of the house.
Robt. Deacon, of Manchester Park,
would like to be first assistant clerk.
j. M. Boyer, sergeant-at-arms Of the
house for two terms wants a third
whack at it.
+. II. Forbes, of Minneapolis, wants
to be reading clerk of the house.
W. E. Verify, of the Minneapolis
Tribune staff, is out for secretary Of
the senate. Israel Bergstrom, of the
grain inspection department., Mime.
apolis, wants the same thing. S. A.
Langum, of Preston, former secretary,
wants to go back; Judge Fleming, of
Brai nerd, wants turn at the wheel,
an Fred Van Duzee, of the Pioneer
Press, feels that that he would just
about fit the place.
Thos. Downs, of Minneapolis, ex-
member of the house, wants to be
sergeant-at arms of the house.
J. G. Fowler. of Mankato, is under
stood to have his lantern out in search
Of the assistant secretaryship of the
senate, position he once held with
much credit.
In the above list 1T will be noted
that Minneapolis will come down
with her usual modesty and ask for
about every Office worth having. But
it might be we'll for the ambitious to
examine the Hennepin county returns
on governor before putting them
selves too numerously on the main
track. There may be switch open.

There is some little speculation as
to who will succeed State Insurance
Commissioner Dearth. If Gov.Elect
Lind has any desire to recognize
worth, he will re-appoint the present
incumbent. Mr.. Dearth has made as
good an insurance commissioner as
the state ever had, and the best we
have had in fifteen years. His record
as faithful, painstaking and COM
petent official is clean and commend
able, and partisan reasons would
seem to be the only grounds that
could be brought to influence Mr.
Lind to let him out. And even such
plea would prove weak. for Mr..
Dearth gave very littls time to poll.
tics but good deal to the duties OF
his office.

The ST. James Journal thinks the
q. o. P. is losing its hold because
h ere and there senatorial district,
for local reasons, happened to elect a
fusionist, and asks us to "mourn over
the disintegration of the Republican
party" Well, we refuse to mourn,
for we fail to see the disintegration.
Republicanism seems not only to have
held it's own, but to have made sub
stantial gains all over the country.
The nearly ninety majority on joint
ballot in our legislature, and the
majority given the state ticket below
governor, together with solid Re-
publican delegation in congress does
not afford to our mind any signs OF
Republican disintegration in Mime
sofa, hence we cannot please the
Journal in mourning.

Mr.. Lind seems to be wallowing
around trying to explain away his re-
marks at the Sleepy Eye meeting
Wednesday evening in which he at
tri buted his success to the ''undying
principles enunciated by the Chicago
platform in 1896 and to the leadership
of that brilliant statesman, patriot
and orator, William Jennings Bryan"
That he did make the statement
credited to him Is proven by the aft
davit of more than half dozen re-
putable citizens of Sleepy Eye who
heard his address and most of them
Demo- Pops at that. Mr.. Lind knows
that If he had made the Chicago plat
form any sort of an issue in the cam.
paign he could not have won, and
il is no wonder that he is
now busy trYi~g to deny the
authenticity of his language. Bryan
ism was the particular load that Mr..
Lind threw off and denied throughout
the campaign, and this fact was what
elected him.

tiers that Mr.. Reed is not In accord
with the administration. Just what
Mr.. Reeds private thoughts are
as to the administration doubt
less no one knows, but his public
acts as speaker do not indicate
that he desires to go on
record as opposed to the administra-
tion. Norman has rendered the Nc
Klnley administration greater SER
vices than has Thos. B. Reed. The
manner in which he held that turbu-
lent body in check while the admins
tration was rushing forward the prep
arations for the war entities him to
the hearty approval of all. While it
was constantly asserted that he did
not agree with the administration on
this or that point, he just as often
disappointed his enemies by support
ing the administration in the conduct
of the war. And what other course
could we'll be expected from the big,
genial-hearted, patriotic Thos. B.
Reed. IN speaking of him in connec-
tion with the speakership the Sioux
City Journal says:
No man in the house of representa-.
tives measures up to the stature OF
Thomas B. Reed, Of Maine. Intel
lectually, as he is physically, he is the
giant of the house. Whether he is on
the floor or in the chair he is Thomas
B. Reed. His greatness Is not an in
cident of the Office he holds, though
in that he has found great opportuni-
ty. His enemies have said that, he
ruled by force, but no observer of his
work will seriously deny that his force
is the force of his mental strength
and alertness. At the end of each
term Of his speakership he has had
the favor of his party associates and
the admiration of his party opponents.
Differences of Judgment have arisen,
and the main:disappeared. There is no
instance of record in which the major
ity of the house has not had its oppor.
tunity under his rule.
The strong minority of the next
congress would be delighted to have
opened at the beginning Of the next
congress Republican factional con-
test against Mr.. Reed, and it would
be particularly gratifying to it If
foundation for the charge could be
found that the con test against him
had the sympathy and support of the
president. The folly of such contest
can hardly be overstated.

SPEAKERSHlP OF THE NEXT
HOUSE.

There is more or less talk INDUCED
in, largely from Democratic sources
no doubt, where the wish is father to
the thought, that Thos. B. Reed will
probably be defeated for the speaker
of thu house in the seth congress. or
course it is possible for such thing
to hap pen, and we presume there are
Republicans in the house who would
like to see such a state OF things
brought about, but it would be bad
move for the Republicans to make.
The majority in the next house is a
narrow one, though ample for ali
practical purposes. and really in the
interests of conservative legislation.
OF course there are other men in the
house who would make good
speakers, but none of Them would
measure up in that respect with Mr..
Reed. The next congress will see
much important legislation before it
for consideration, and 1t needs a
strong man in the speakers chair
one who can hold strong and pre-
sumably turbulent minority in check
while at the same time preserving
the rights of all. So far as we have
been able to note, the grievances that
have been expressed against Mr.. Reed
as speaker, are of personal nature.
They come largely from members who
failed to get an appropriation for some
object in their district or state, be.
cause the speaker did not believe that
under the prevailing condition of the
national treasury for the past few
years, that such move was justifi.
able, and used the influence and
power at his command to prevent
such appropriations, and while it may
have worked seeming hardship to
the member interested, the country
at large approves of the speakers
course most heartily.
1t has been claimed in some quar-

A GREAT CAMPAIGN.

In the campaign just closed Sena-
tor Nelson accomplished great work
for the Republican party. He put in
some seven weeks campaigning, and
made forty speeches in all. OF these,
twenty-three were in the Seventh dis
trict; ten in the Sixth; four in the
Third; one in the Second and two in
the First. In this work he put forth
his whole energies in sound money
and Republican principles and accom-
plished great results. In his cam
paigning he went principally into the
country districts among the people on
the farms and in the villages and to
them he talked the principles of Re-
publicanism. He told them.the plain
facts and in way that carried con-
viction to the hearts of his hearers.
The alexandria Post-News says that
the large Republican representation
in the legislature from the north.
western part of the state is largely
due to his efforts. In fact the sena-
tor has done work for his party that
should be remembered by 1t, and in q
most substantial way. Congressman
Eddy is loud in his praise OF the work
that Mr.. Nelson has done on the
stump the past fall, and the Free
Press believes from all that it has
been able TO learn, that the senator
deserves every word Of it.

LIND CLAIMS 1T A FREE
SILVER VICTORY.

Mr.. Lind. does not give his Demo-
Pop followers much consolation along
the line that his personal popularity
elected him governor. At the cele-
bration in New Ulm Tuesday evening
over his election, the Minneapolis
Journal referring to the speeches
made says:
''All of the speeches were congratu-
latory, with the exception ofMr. LIMBS.
He modestly wished to correct the
impression which has gone abroad
that his personal popularity had
elected him. He was of the opinion
that any other man as we'll known as
he was and supported as he had been
by all classes of people would have
won"
This is certainly very modest, but
Mr.. Lind went farther and declared
that his election was due to the
principles enunciated by the old
farmers alliance, Popullst party and
rejuvenated Democracy, but particu-
larly to the undying principles enun-
ciated by the Chicago platform Of
1896, and to the leadership of that
brilliant statesman and. orator, Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
Well, this is certainly rich. John
Lind on the stump disclaimed en-
phatically that the ''undying princi-
ples," of the Chicago platform had
anything to do with the state cleo
tion. The main ''undying principle"
of the Chicago platform was free
silver. Mr.. Lind well knew that
that ''undying principle could not
win in Minnesota. The great ma
iority under (which it was buried
in 1896 demonstrated that fact.
He knew that he made the
best kind of run possible
in 1896, and that his own popularity
and the unpopularity of his opponent
could not overcome the objection Of
the people of the state against the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
The result in the state this fall on
the congressional ticket, especially
further demonstrates the fact that
Minnesota does not endorse cheap
silver. Had Mr.. Lind made his cam
paign upon the silver issue, he would
undoubtedly have lost thousands OF
votes that went to him, and have
been politically stranded upon the
shores of fatism. We expected his
election would be heralded by a GER
tain element as free silver victory,
but gave Mr.. Lind credit for being
too shrewd man to join in any such
nonsense. Minnesota has repudiated
the fat money proposition whenever
it has come out in the open and Mr..
Lind will find that it will do it again
in 1900. The people of the northwest
have no use for a forty.cent dollar.
Mr.. Lind was certainly cute in his
method of fooling the voters Of the
state, bat it was a cuteness that adds
nothing to his reputation and will
not commend him to the people in
the line of political honesty in the
future if he be quoted correctly.

IT'S ALREADY BUILT UP.

A Winona dispatch in yesterdays
Pioneer Press says:
It is stated on the best of authority
that Prot. Frank Weld of Saltwater,
who recently declined the presidency
of the WinOna Normal school, is can
didate for the president of the Man
kato Normal school. 1t is said that
he considers that at Mankato there is
a splendid chance. to build up school
and his own reputation as an edu-
Gator. while in Winona the school is
already built UP.
If the above statement is acorrect,
Prof. Weld must have been grossly
misinformed as to the Normal school
in this city. We have here school
already built up, second to none in
the state. The statement that there
is chance to build it up, is refiec-
tion upon its late president that will
hardly prove agreeable to our citizens,
and we can hardly believe that Prof
Weld made such a break as is credit.
ed to him. The Mankato Normal has
long stood as one of the leading Nor.
NAL schools in the northwest, is well
built up, has strong faculty, and in.
stead of being an institution for a
man to build up his reputation as
president, it wants & man who has
already made a reputation as an edu'
Gator as it's head.

The election of the three Republi-

rebuke to the partisanship inaugur-
ated by the Demo-Pops six years ago

they may now conclude that it is best
to be little more broad in their &C.
