the Republican State Committee at
St. Paul Tuesday. He states that
the reports that came from different
portions of the state are of the most
gratifying nature, and indicate large
Republican majority in November.

intention of the Republican mana
gers to open an active campaign until
about the first of October. This will
give over five weeks for work before

newspaper publishers.

To Fuse or Not.

1t was nearly two o'clock when the
convention was called to order that
afternoon. During the noon recess
the question of fusion with the Popu-
listi was warmly discussed, and the
anti-fusionists seemed to be making
considerable inroads in the strength
of the fusionists. This was subject
of as much interest as the sherivalty
fight, which was waging warm.

The Resolutions.

The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following report, evidently
prepared by Judge Severance and rep
resenting his personal views, as here
tofore expressed in public, but which
do not have the cordial sympathy of
many Of the rank and file of the Demo.
cratic party.
The Democrats of Blue Earth
county in convention duly assembled
adopted and promulgated the follow
ing resolutions as declaratory of the
principles upon which they will con.
duct the co ming campaign.
Resolved, That we endorse and we
affirm the platform OF principles
promulgated by the last Democratic
convention of this state. and further,
it is resolved as follows:
That the AGO uisition of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines or any other
island of the sea by the United States
is unwise and un.American and wholly
in the interest Of imperialism and
plutocracy, dangerous to our civiliza-
tion, and destructive of the agricul-
tural interests of this country.
That the acquisition of such terri
tory by the United States will bring
into direct competition with the fairly
paid labor of this country the cheap
labor of millions of people who will
be the enforced subjects of this gov
vernment, but not enfranchised Cit
liens.
That the acquisition OF such terri
tory and the government OF it by the
United States will necessitate the
creation of standing army of more
than hundred Thousand men, even
in time Of peace, and many more, if
we mingle as we shall be likely to, in
all the broils OF Europe.
That large standing army draws
the life blood out of labor that alone
creates real wealth, menaces liberty,
is the engine Of tyranny and the hope
Of plutocracy that thrives on forces
and not on law.
That it has ever been the proudest
boast of the United States that it had
no useless and pampered standing
army, removed from the field of pro-
fductive industry, crushing labor un-
der the avalanche of taxation and cor
rupting every vein of national legisla-
tiOn.
That a Republican government
must depend for it's strength and dur
ability upon the intelligence of PEG
pie cultivatlng the arts of peace which
give activity to human intellect, and
scorns The pomp and parade of mill

poses as it is generally needed.
The first floor will have eight rooms
for patients, office, parler, doctors

center, the length of the building
runs corridor eight feet wide, and

the corridor from the operating
room is a wound dressing room.
There is also on this floor a recovery
room and doctors room. There are
baths and lavatories on each floor,
also maids room and pantry.
The specifications have not yet been
received. so that the full details re-
garding the finishing cannot be OBJ
tanned, but it will be of the best and
most suitable character. The oper-
ating room will be large and we'll
lighted and supplied with modern
conveniences for the surgeons use.
The hospital will cost from $4,000
to $4,000 and when completed will
give the city one of the finest and
most modern institutions OF the kind
| in the northwest.
