the Week. :. J..
4 T. - Reform Press Bureau.
y sT.PAUI. Sept II, 1884,
% The daily press during the week have
generally noted the call for Hon. Charles
A. Towne to go into the campaign Of
the Middle Eastern states. Never slow
in responding to any call Of duty, Mr..
Towne has responded to this, cut short
his stay abroad, and before the month
closes will be ready for the fray, prob
ably both in Ohio and Kentucky. Mr..
Towne cabled that he would sail on the
21st. But for this urgent call Mr..
Towne would have returned at the time
of Senator Jones, chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee, in o.
tober.
The call to Mr.. Towne, especially for
Ohio, emphasizes the platform recently
adopted by the Democrats, in which
free coinage was made the leading
feature. But Mr.. Towne will stand on
that plank no moro enthusiastically and
fearlessly than on each Of the declara-
tions Of the party in the Buckeye state,
whose leader for what is believed to be
almost certain victory, is John R. Nc
Lean. We speak advisedly of the hope
full outlook in that state from q per-
sonal letter received from Mr.. Mclean.
And another duty faces our great
Minnesotan, of which he will be ap-
prised, Immediately on his arrival. and
that is that Mr.. Towne must make the
race for congress in his old district
next year. OF this he had not yet been
advised, but it is the determination of
his friends of his home county, Duluth,
and other influential portions Of the
Sixth. A bureau representative has
canvassed the matter very carefully,
and finds the demand universal. The
united reform forces will ,listen to no
other proposal, and few days hence,
when Mr.. Towne again reaches the
western shore of the great "unsalted," :"
he will find this tender from his loyal
friends, made with such enthusiasm and
with such expressions of love and devo-
tion as will again touch him to the
heart.
The state fair of 1899 set pace that
will be hard to come up to in the fu-
ture. A distinctive feature was the
great support from the country. While
the Twin Cities turned out, especially
4 to the evening attractions, the great
body Of the patronage was from the in
terror of the state. Success was in
great measure due to the indefatigable
labors of the officials, especially Presi-
dent Cooper and Secretary Randall.
Governor Lind and party, including
his official staff of the Minnesota Ma
tonA Guard, will see that the return
ing Thirteenth is properly cared for.
Meanwhile programme for the home
reception is being matured which will
be q credit to the whole state. Let
those in charge steer clear Of politics
and all will be we'll. There must be
no Mckinley stump speeches on the
occasion. .-
Come, friends, let us stop an instant,
and think of essentials. # we aim at
nothing more in the reform cause than
to get possession of the few state Offices,
the gameis simply not worth the candle.
