CALL FOR T0WNE.
Hon. c. A. Towne Wanted in Ohio and
Kentucky Campaigns.
Reform Press Bureau,

Reform Press Bureau,
St. Paul, Sept. II, 1899.
The daily press during the week have
generally noted the call for Hon.
Charles A. Towne to go into the CAM
paign 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 be-
fore the month closes will be ready for
the fray, probably both in Ohio and
Kentucky. Mr.. Towne cabled that he
would sail on the 21st. But for this
urgent call Mr.. Towne would have re-
turned at the same time as Senator
Jones, chairman OF the Democratic COM
mittee, in October.
The call to Mr.. Towne, especially for
Ohio, emphasizes the platform recently
adopted by the Democrats, in which
Tree coinage was made the leading fea-
trrc. But Mr.. Towne will stand on that
plank no more enthusiastically and fear
lessly than on each OF the declarations
OF the party in the Buckeye state, whose
leader for what is believed to be almost
certain victory, is John R. Mclean. We
speak advisedly of the hopeful outlook
i'll that state from personal letter re-
ceivcd from Mr.. Mclean.
And another duty faces Our great Min
ncsotan, OF which he will be appraised,
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 de-
mand universal. The united reform
forces will listen to no other proposal,
ard a few days hence, when Mr.. Towne
again reaches the western shore Of htc
great 'unsalted." he will find this tender
from his loyal friends made with such
enthusiasm and with such expressions
OF love and devotion as will again touch
him to the heart.
The state fair Of 1890 set a pace that
will be hard TO come up to in the future.
A distinctive feature was the great sup
port from the country. While the Twin
Cities turned out, especially to the even
ing attractions, the great body OF pat
lronagc was from the interior of the |
state. Success was in great. measure
due to the indcfatigable labors OF the
especially President Cooper
and Secretary Randall.
Governor Lind and party, including
his official staff OF the Minnesota Ma
t'onal Guard. will see that the returning
Thirteenth is properly cared for. Mean
while program for the home reccp-
ton is being matured which will be
credit to the whole state. Let those in
charge steer clear of politics and all
will be we'll. There must be no Nc
kln!cy stump speeches on the occasion
Conc, friends. let us stop an instant
and think of essentials. Ii we aim at |
nothing more in the reform cause than
to get possession OF the few state Offices
the game is simply net worth the c,ndle,
The Peoples party state central com
mittcc met on Wednesday and deter
mined on vigorous organization OF
that branch OF the allied forces.
