reporr of the convention proceedings,
which ropears in the local columns. Most
of the nominees are men well and favor
ably known to the people of the state,
and their respective merits and qualifica-
tions will be fHlly discussed in subsequent
paign progresses. But, as q whole, the
Democratic state ticket will require no
eulogiums to secure for it the hearty sup
port of a large majority of the people
OF the state, and it is now the duty of
the Democratic electors to see to it that
in re-electing Gov John Lind he is
not again placed in the exceedingly try
ing position of being the only Democratic
executive officer Of the state government.
The platform adopted by the state
Democratic convention briefly indorses
the national platform and ticket and de-
nounces the Mckinley government for
its failure to extend aid to the burghers
of the late South African republics. 1t
denounces the Republican policy of high
protection, which. it declares, is response
BILE for the growth of the trusts.
On State issues the platform advocates
the cause of labor, and indorses the
movement for shorter hours for the days
work. 1t condemns the Republican party
for gerrymandering the legislative dis
tricts, and pledges reform in this direc-
ton if Democrats control the legisla-
ture. 1t strongly Endorses Gov Lind and
his administration, which is declared to
have been efficient, business-like and
progressive, and close to and for all the
people. The work of the different execu-
tive departments under Gov. Lind partic-
ularly that of the grain inspection depart
ment, which is declared to have been
administered with even justice to pro-
Queer and dealer alike, is praised and in
dorsed. The action of the railroad and
warehouse commission in securing on
their own initiative a reduction in the
railroad rates in grain in the Western
and Southern counties is commended.
The recommendation made by Gov. Lind
10 the last legislature, urging FelOEInS
i'll the system of taxation so that ulti-
mately the cost of state government will
be paid by taxes laid upon corporations,
is endorsed, as is also the governors
recommendation for the increase of the
tax on the gross earnings of railroads.
The most notable feature of the con-
vention was the speech made by Gov.
John Lind in accepting the renomina-
ton. 1t is a mastery exposition of the
position taken by Democracy on the lead
ing issues of the campaign Not the
least important part of it deals with
state issues-questions which appeal most
nearly to the interests of the people of
Minnesota. Space prevents extended COM
ment at this time on the different ques-
tons discussed by Gov Lind, but their
vital importance to the taxpayers of
Minnesota will insure their thorough dis
cussion as the campaign progresses. They
are questions on which the governor has
bestowed untiring labor and to which he
has given his best energies and thought
during the past two years, and it is safe
to say that the people of this state will
indorse his sound and conservative judg-
ment on most of these important eco
nomic questions.

PARADE A GRAND TURNOUT
There Were 1000 Men in Line
Mostly ia Uniform.

There Were 1000 Men in Ling,
Mostly in Uniform.
Preceding last nights meeting at the
Auditorium, a monster parade of Demo-
Gratis was held.
1t was hastily organized, but neyerthe-
less a complete success, nearly two thou
sand men being in line, most Of them in
uniform
The Democratic county and city organi=
cations of Ramsey and Hennepin coun-
ties comprised the bulk of the parade,
the latter arriving shortly after O'Clock
from Minneapolis. They were met by
the Rarasey county men at Smith park
where the chief marshal, Gen. George G.
Lambert, and his aide, Col. J. M. Haw-
therne, formed the different bodies in
line At 1880 the parade started UP Sixth
street, Sergeant of Police Perro and
three officers leading. Next came the
grand marshal and his aide and then
Brose's band. Behind the band came
the Democratic clubs of Ramsey county
headed by those of st. Paul This detaeh-
ment was fully eight hundred strong,
and nearly ali in it wore duck uniforms
with peak caps, trimmed with red white
and blue
The Minneapolis contingent was headed
by uniformed band and Maj Corriston
and E. Barton marshais. They numbered
"
but there were many delegates from
clubs outside of Minneapolis, and they
swelled the total to at least seven hum
dred and fifty.
The Minneapolis clubs We're uniformed,
red, white and blue being the prevailing
shades, and one or two other clubs car
ried parasos of the same color Every
one in both parties carried the stars and
stripes
The procession went up Sixth street
to ST. Peter, along st. Peter to Ninth
along Ninth to- Cedar, on Cedar to Eighth
and thence to the Auditorium. At the
Auditorium the grand marshal and his
aide, both of whom were mounted halted
outside the main entrance, and the par
ade marched by in review order
The delegates marched in, and, wheI
they were seated, the general public, OF
whom a vast crowd was assembled, were
admitted, and the hall was soon packed
to the suffocation point
Before the main bodies marched into
the hall, the two bands discoursed pa
triotic airs, and, while the delegates were
going in, Brose's band played a spirited
march, after which they went in as real
guard.
Frequently, along the line of march
the procession was cheered by groups or
the sidewalks, and on such occasions they
made very hearty response.

MAKING THE MOST OF IT

The extraordinary success achieved by
the state fair during the past two days
shows how important part the cities
play in the success of the great annual
agricultural exposition. The people of st.
Paul and Minneapolis turned out in thou
sands, and extended to the undertaking
a measure of patronage which will play
an important part in the financial results
achieved. st. Paul day was exceptional
ly successful. Notwithstanding that it
fell only two days following La
Dor day, which was almost univer-
sally celebrated as a state holiday, our
business houses closed down In almost
every instance for a half holiday. and
the people sought recreation and enjoy
ment at the state fair grounds. Our peo-
pie regard the state fair as in some sense
local institution, and they go out of
their way to extend to it their counte-
nance and patronage How thoroughly
they are animated by this disposition was
plain on Wednesday. when the city seemed
to have emptied itself both during the
day and the evening performances into
the grounds at Hamline.
1t would seem as If the State Agricul-
tural society owed something to the two
cities and their people in view of these
facts Until within the past two or three
years, the merchants and business people
generally of the cities looked forward
to the holding of the state fair as being
an occasion of increased sales and of as
sured business activity. They were new
er disappointed. The crowds of visitors
passed and repassed on our public streets,
and each evening during fair week was
celebrated as a gala affair
All this has become changed. Except to
see them getting on and off the street
cars, and occasionally viewing the city
buildings and surroundings, the mer-
| chants of st. Paul and Minneapolis have
seen but little of the state fair visitors
| Night as well as day they are provid-
ed for by the State Agricultural society;
! and the evening performance, having no
relationship whatever to agricultural dis
| plays is effective in keeping the visitors
| away from the city streets.
| The business people of the two cities
have accepted this state of things with
out much murmur. They have seen the
enjoyment of the visitors promoted by
| the displays of fireworks and horse rae
ing which distinguish the night perform
| ances, and they have doubtless looked
| upon it as ungracious to interfere It is
| doubtful, indeed, whether the state fair
management has even thought it neces-
sary at any time to pay the usual fee to
the city authorities for circus perform
ances and like displays, or in anywise
undertaken to reimburse the city or it's
| people for the increased municipal ex-
| pense which results from the presence
of such large numbers OF strangers in
| tho city.
The G l 0 e calls attention to this state
of things without any particular inten-
ton or belief that there viii be any rem
/ edy applied. There is an injustice involv
ed, none the less; and the attention of the
/ here to the fact that, while the city has
| willingly borne the added expense of such
| entertainments, and the people have gone
] out of their way to patronlze them. the

PAY UP.


The present situation sof the library
board is deplorable ones 1t could hard
ly be any more discouraging than it is
The income from all sources of the board
is totally Inadequate to meeting the
everyday expenses of. the library while
there seems to be no means whatever at
the disposal of the board to meet the
bills already Incurred in the removal of
the library to its present site
No one has shown any disposition to
treat the old board with any but the
fullest consideration What it undertook
it undertook in good faith: The fates
We're against it; and its failure has been
dealt with quite leniently by the public
But there is an Indebtedness resting on
the board of over $50. 600 as the result of
that failure, and the library is being de-
prived of the most essential additions to
Its book supply for want of means
Suen state OF things as this is in
tolerable. It is not now question as
to where the responsibility for it shou,4
rest. The people desire a remedy for it.
A remedy must be found The public Ii
brary must be maintained, Its debts must
be paid. Those debts are the debts of
the city, They We're contracted with full
authority; and the default in the payment
of them operates to the serious detri-
ment of the city.
St. Paul has been made the victim of
this sort of thing to considerable ex-
tent. There never has been any reason
why the claims against this city should
not be promptly paid. except such as had
their origin in demagogism or political
bitterness. There is no reason why these
claims should not be paid and paid
promptly There is no party political
racket that can be worked by longer
Withholding payment.
1t is some months ago since the G Iob e
against the library board. 1t called at
tention to the injury which was being
done the community by the parading
which was in progress of the boards in
dOAAAtS ~ meet its OOi15dIlOIlS- Inc same
subject is now under consideration, and
will remain matter of general consider
alton indefinitely unless it is promptly
disposed of.
At its last meeting the library board
took steps to secure the payment of out
standing claims by the council There is
no other available source from which the
moneys can be secured. The city must
| sooner or later foot the bill, and the
sooner it is footed and paid the better
We have a splendid library for all pres
ent purposes. All the money expended
was well spent. The board could not con-
| tinue to occupy its former quarters. TIC
purchase a site and build a library build
| ing thereon has been out of the question
| Something had to be done. That some
| thing the old board sought to do 1t did
not succeed as it had planned, and Its
! failure has produced the present indebted
ness. The sooner the city council makes
provision for the payment of that indebt-
| edness, and the less that is said about
| its non-pay ment, the better pleased and
| the better served will be the people from
whose resources the money must ulti-
mately come.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.


The military situation at Pekin remains
unchanged, apparently. Gen, Chaffee' 3
messages make it clear that he for one
Is proceeding upon the understanding that
the American troops are to winter in Chi
ma, and he and Gen. Barry speak of the
comfortable arrangements that have been
made for the soldiers. The American con-
tingent in the parade through the impe-
rial palace was small probably in con-
fornity with an arrangement between
the various commanders in Pekn that the
force selected to make the demonstration
should be limited in numbers in order
to reduce the chance of looting 1t is
supposed here that this demonstration
was made to impress the Chinese people
as whole, and not from any military ne
cessity.
Some action of this kind appears to
have been necessary In order to offset the
stories which were afloat In the Southern
Chinese ports. to the effect that the al
lies had been completely overthrown by
the imperial troops and the Boxers, which
stories were circulated to cause further
uprisings. Besides, the demonstra tons
at the palace may reduce the i'll effects
of any withdrawals of troops from Pekin
as result OF the present negotiations
REPAIRING TELEGRAPH LINES.
The announcement from the cable com
panies that the off-shore cable from
Shanghai to Taku had been completed
encouraged the officials here in the hope
that al last 1t would be possible to COM
T rnunicate with Pekin the same day that
a message was dispatched. 1t appeared,
however, from Gen. Barrys report, that
the Boxers are still cutting the wires be-
tween Tien Tsin and Pelxin, and the mes
| sages received today FROM the Chinese
capital show no Improvement in The rate
of transmission over those received be-
fore the completion of the new cable 1t
is said that the reinforcement of troops
steadily pouring into Pekin by way of
Taku and Tien Tsin soon will be able to
clear the line of communication complete
ly of these wire cutters, and that the mill
itary lines will be kept open, giving rapid
communication with the outer world.
Mr.. Goodnow has cabled from Shanghai
that all Of the marines were withdrawn
from Annoy last Friday, matter of news
