MANKATo FREE PRESS

Some months ago President. Mckinley
was reported to have expressed the wish
that no federal office holders be sent as dele
gates to the next Republican national con-
vention. Minnesota Republicans should
show their respect for the Presidents
wishes and serve notice forthwith that
ofice-holders will receive no considera-
ton as members of the delegation to
Philadelphia. VIM. R. Merriam, superin-
tendent of census, is seeking, through his
ST. Paul friends, to secure an election from
the Fourth district, but he should be
turned down cold. There are other men
in that district who are more deserving
than Merriam, and their claims to recog-
milton should be respected. Besides Mr..
Merriam served as delegate in thel last
national convention.

national convention.

Our neighbor, the Review, processes to
believe that Congressman McCleary will
be slaughtered at the polls. If our neighbor
r eally believed this, it would doubtless be
fully as active in advocating the renomi-
nation of Mr.. McCleary. as it has been
during the past few days in pushing the
candidacy of Mr.. Funk. Our fusion
friends have been very much agitated dur.
the past two or three campaigns lest our
genial congressman should fall by the
wayside. and as they now pull themselves
out from under the wreck of their past
predictions they appear troubled by the
same fears. The people. however, are
with Mr.. McCleary now. as they have
been in the past, and the Review need not
worry for his political future.

looked for.

1t becomes more and more apparent that
all the strength Mr.. Bryan received from
the gold Democracy, that has dropped
back into the old organization, will be
more than neutralized by the sloughing off
of the mid road Populists. In fact this
cutting off from the Bryan vote will more
than over. balance the loss from all reasons
of McKinleys vote in 1896. Besides, this
there will be thousands of voters all over
the country who voted for Bryan, because
they believed then that the gold standard
meant ruin to the country, just as Bryan
predicted, who now see that it means
nothing of the kind, and they will vote for
Mckinley and continued prosperity. The
statement that has been made of late that
Bryan was nearer the presidency in 1896
than he ever will be again, seems to be
wholly justified by present indications, and
his vote next November is not likely to be
as large by good many thousands as i
was in 1896.

POPS SWALLOW THE DENIS.

Chairman Patterson, of the Sioux Falls
Pop convention, in his address declared
tn at the Populists had not surrendered to
the Democrats, but on the other hand the
Democrats had come over to the Populist
standpoint in every particular. Bryan was
nominated for the presidency four years
ago because he stood for Populistic prin-
ciples pure and simple. and he would again
be nominated for that reason. And it
must be said that all circumstances seem
to corroborate Mr.. Patterson's view of the
situation. He said:
ITO check the progress of the peoples
party throughout the south, the Democrats
of that section incorporated into their own
creed the populists' trusts and embodied
in their platform of 1896 all the cardinal
principles of the populist platform of nearly
four years ago. The Democratic party in
1896 nominated Mr.. Bryan and later the
peoples party nominated Mr.. Bryan. 1t
has been said that we showed wonderful
magnanimity in choosing the avowed can
ddate of another party. I say no. The
peoples party would have been false to all
its avowed principles had it nominated any
other man than Mr.. Bryan. We never
surrendered our rights as party. We
never could have nominated any other
man.
$50 dominant has the spirit of popu-
lism become in the Democraticsparty that
that party does not take issue with single
principle advanced in the Omaha or ST.
Louis platforms The Republican party
takes issue with every vital question that
is in the populist platform.
No wonder thousands of Democrats who
have no sympathy with such vagaries re-
fuse to follow the populist leaders Of
Bryan Democracy.

The attempt of few opponents of Mr..
McCleary to stir up feeling against him Oh
the ground that an attempt was made tc
blind the voters as to the real object of the
congressional convention next Tuesday is
rather farfetched. The fact is there has beer
no question as to what next Tuesdays con-
vention was for from the first. The call
is perfectly clear in the matter and there
can be no installing it. Mr.. McClearys
opp onents have seen fit to raise little dust
over it for the purpose of confusing the
voters if possible, and in some cases they
may have succeeded. AS to the letter
which Mr. McCleary sent to his friends.
there was nothing out of the way in it at
all. 1t simply called their attention to the
advantage to be gained in making McCleary
sentiment predominant at this time, and is
pr obably nothing more than Mr.. Funk
did in his cause or could have
done legitimately had he seen
fit. Mr.. McCleary's supporters recog
nized the importance of having their
friends in control of next Tuesdays con-
vention, and the present condition of sem
timent throughout the district well demon
strates the wisdom of their political fore
sight. There has been no attempt on the
part of Mr. McCleary or his friends to
confuse the voters, nor will there be any at
tempt to take any undue advantage in any
way. They have simply done in regard
to next weeks convention what Mr.. Funk S
followers would have done had they been
strong enough, and what they hoped they
might do through default of action on the
part of Mr.. McClearys friends. But the
latter were not caught mapping.
There are some politics in the nominal
ton of congressman, and in preliminary
battles leading thereto, and Mr.. McCleary
saw fit to impress this fact upon his friends
in perfectly open and manly way. That's
all

1t W ould seem to the average man that
under present conditions it is getting rather
late in the season to enter the field for the
purpose of attempting to secure the guber-
material nomination. The people have
practically made up their minds to nomi-
nate Capt Van SAINT for the place, and
will be hard work to now overcome that
determination. Then too. if report is true
the basis upon which Gen Clapp intends
to push his canvas, if he enters the HELD
is very weak one. and will not prove a
winner by good deal. and that is that
Capt. Van SAINT is weak and cannot be
elected. No man can today go into the
field and make winning canvas on such
an issue, and it is one that is certainly un-
worthy of man of Gen. Clapps calibre.
The feeling is pronounced among Repub-
licans that the party will win in the coming
battle. and the contest for the governorship
should be on far higher grounds then that
alleged. But taken on that basis it is very
questionable whether Gen. Clapp would
present any elements of strength to the Re-
publicans that Capt. Van SAINT does not
possess, and in many respects would prove
much the weaker man in a campaign. His
record as railroad and corporation at
torney would be heavily against him,
though the Free Press is free to say that
the fact that a man has been professionally
employed by railroad or other corpora
ton as attorney, ought not to count against
him, any more than would be the case if
he were employed to run farm or handle
a mercantile business. But the fact that
it does must be taken into consideration.
The Republicans this year cannot afford
to be put upon the defensive because of
the personality or personal doings of any
of its candidates, and unfortunately this
would be the probable case with Gen.
Clapp at the head of the ticket.
The charge of weakness in the person OF
Capt Van SAINT is not true 1t is matter
that should be recognized by every Re
publican, that the party has got fight on
its hands in Minnesota this fall. Not that
we believe there is any particular danger
of the state going fusion. for we do not be-
lieve there is if the Republicans simply
maintain their present harmonious rela-
tons and do their duty as they have in
years past, but the opposition is particu
larly aggressive, and their slight taste of
power through the governorship has made
them anxious for further lease, while the
nomination of Charlie Towne for vice
president on the fusion ticket, if it is en-
dorsed at Kansas City, will make the OPP
position still more active. In view of this
it will not do for the Republicans to make
any mistake. The ranks today are moving
in perfect harmony. We believe that in
Capt. Van SAINT the rank and file of the
party of the state has made most ad-
mirable choice, and that the duty Of the
hour is to close up and present solid
front, move forward and make his nomi-
nation unanimous, and then work for one
of the grandest victories the party ever
rolled up in the state.

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

Having been selected for United States
senator by the democratic legislative
caucus Of Kentucky, which is equivalent
to an election, Mr.. Blackburn feels JUS
tilted in saying that Mr.. Goebel was
elected governor and should be seated.
Goebel threw his strength to Blackburn
for senator, in return for which Black
burn will use his best e%ndeavors to have
Taylor dispossessed of the gubernatorial
to which he was fairly elected.
Unquestionably, a conspiracy has been
Matched to force the republican governor
out of office. Flimsy pretexts are being
invented pom which to question Taylor's
right to retain his seat, and it locks as
if the democratic legislative assembly of
Kentucky intends to perpetrate as great
a political crime as that with which the
democratic Legislature of Montana has
been charged. % 9
1t is an elegant reputation for honesty
which democratic legislatures are pre-
pairing for themselves on the threshold
of a presidential campaign. The fair
minded people Of Kentucky will resent
the contemplated outrage on Governor
Taylor, if it be carried out, by making
that state reliably republican in the
forthcoming presidential election.

The venom displayed by the Standard

that a personal motive, rather than a de-

RUKNINC UP STREAM.

The opening of the canal which will
defect the waters of the fragrant Chi
cagO river from Lake Michigan into the
Mississippi, is a great achievement in
modern engineering. The Chicago river
has long sustained a reputation second
to no stream in the country, and the
flowing up stream. excites little surprise
compared with the announcement that
they are able to flow at all. The waters
of that stream are SO thick with filth
