REPUBLICANS should be on their
guard throughout the State to see that
legislative nominations are conferred
only upon men worthy OF them, and
who can be trusted to carry out the
wishes of their constituents. There is
no doubt thatthere is a deep, laid con-
spiracy, conceived and hatched out by
the Democratic leaders to contribute
in every possible way to the nomina-
tion of Republican candidates for the
lower house who can be induced by
moral suasion or otherwise, to create a
deadlock in the election of a United
States senator. The senate is hold
over body, and is more than two-thirds
Republican and it can not we'll be
hoped by the Democrats to secure
enough majority in the house to offset
the Republican majority in the senate.
There is one thing they might do,
however, and that is to combine the
Democrats and questionable Republi-
cans Of the house and deadlock on the
nomination of United States senator,
thereby throwing it into an election on
the floor, in the hope that a contest
might ensue whereby some man other
than Knute Nelson might be elected

THERE is a great deal of unnecessary
blow and buster in the refusal of Re-
publican papers to handle the matter
sent out by the Republican State CEN
trail committee. This paper does not,
as rule, use the matter prepared by
the committe, not because the COM
mlttee does not send out good stuff,
nor because we are in any way opposed
to the committee, but because this is
an all home print paper and the space
which it has to spare for political ,pur-
poses can be best used in the presenta-
tion of the issues of the day by those
whoa familiar with local sentiment,
and who know just what is wanted.
There are great many papers in the
State which would not have anything
to say about politics unless the matter
was prepared in some form and sent to
them. For such papers the commit.
tees campaign material is admira bly,
suited, and there is no reason, political
or professional, why they should not
use it, The committee is doing good
work and deserves the cooperation
and support Of the Republican press
AS we understand it, the committee
would rather the editors would write
their own copy, but is willing to fur
nish it if the editors so desire. T. %.

5 THERE is no just or even plausible
reason why any Republican should this
year withhold his support from the
Republican ticket. The ticket is a
good one throughout, Notwithstanding
the fact that there are places on it
which might have been improved by
wiser selections, and will compare
more than favorably with that named
by the opposition. Mr.. Lind will find

IF ever there was time in the his
tory of the State when the advice was
pertinent, it is the present hour
"Don't go off half-cocked.:' There is
no occasion for Republicans to rush
frantically into the fray unprepared or
half prepared upon the issues that are
presented. Three years of a Republi-
can national administration have cured
all the evils Of the preceding four years
of Democratic misrule, and confidence
and prosperity have been restored.
So far as the national questions are
involved it is reasonably safe to assume
that the country will vote for a con-
tinuance of the present policy and the
present administration. In State af-
fairs we have an administration,
which, while not specially blame
worthy in any great particular, has
utterly failed to show the shortcom-
ings and misconduct which It had
charged against the preceding forty
years Of Republican rule in Minnesota.
! The only excuse for the election of a
Democratic State administration was
to install the party of the opposition
in order that if there has been any
irregularities in the past they might
be shown up. Gov. Lind and his party
associates have had every opportunity
to delve deep into the archives of the
States history and disclose any dere.
lictions in the official conduct of their
predecessors. In not a single case
have they shown corruption, fraud
malfeasance or misconduct. The oppo
sition have thus succeeded in gaining
access to the party record, and having
found nothing to the discredit of those
who had been in authority, there is NJ
good reason why the status quo Of 1885,
should not be restored and the State
put back into the management ant
control of the party which had so sue
cessfully shaped it's destinies since it,
