THE EVOLUTION OF MR.. rowNE.

Former United States Senator Charles A. Towne
now resident of New York, is doing Stunt in pro-
gressve politics that is really amazing He has been
taken to the bosom of Tammany hall and will today be
the speaker at the Tammany celebration 1t is not
easy follow Mr.. Towne, for his movements political
are calculated to bewilder.
Ten years ago Mr. Towne most ardent Re
publican. His Republicanism of stripe to COM
mend him to such sturdy Republicans as the Lin
coin club He talked tariff with facility altogether
amazing and in great demand at political gather
ngs where the G. O. P was be gorifed. He ex-
plotted in the Republican press silver tongued orna
ment to his party. One day Mr. ToWne suffered a
change of heart and rejected the denominations of Repub
icanism He became Chrysostom of the Silver Repub-
cans-that shortlived and unucky organization which
finished before it we'll started. The door of Demo
cracy stood open and Mr. Towne lodged in. His great
ability public speaker and the grasp he had of affairs
political and economic made him Democratic leader.
But he always had some reservations as to the doctrines
of Democracy He not willing to subscribe to all
the tenes Of the party and when he given the hon
orary nomination of the minority in the legislature for
the United States senate there protest from
OF the old line Democrats But his Democracy good
enough for that other notable Democracy,
Gov John Lind and he went to the United States senate
by appointment and Democrat.
Since Mr. Towne went into Wall street, where he is
said to have had Mr. Towne has taken the
last degrees in Democracy and he has gone into Tam
many
His progress goes to show that there is hope for
even the vest of Republicans 1t is far cry from Re-
publlcansm to Iammany but Towne to have gone
the distance by most crcutous route, in very
little of time In the light of his experience may
we not hope at time to that warhorse of the
Republican army, Gov Van SAINT, reclaimed and carrying

LOOK FOR LARGE BUSINESS.
Railroads Anticipate Heavy Fourth o
July Traffic.

July Traffic.
Every indication yesterday pointed to
the largest Fourth of July business that
has ever been done by railroads reaching
the Twin Cities. The st. Paul Union de-
pot was crowded all day long with per-
sons waiting for outbound trains.
The special Fourth of July rate of one
fare and one-third on all lines except the
500. which made a rate of one fare, was
in effect yesterday, and the sale of tickets
was unusually large. The rate is good to
or from all points within two hundred
miles from the Twin Cities.
A large sale of tickets Is also expected
today as the return limit embraces all
day monday, giving many people an op-
portunity for a three-day outing, who
could not we'll get away on last evening
trains.
There will be no special excursions run
by any of the roads, as the regular holt
day business at the reduced rate will
force them to press into service every
available piece of equipment.
Another significant fact is that the ma
jority of the. railroad people themselves
will stay at home tomorrow. The reason
for this that in the aggregate there are
many of them, and they travel on free
transportation. Although no orders have
been issued, the majority of railroad en-
ployes feel the roads will be cramped
enough to secure equipment with which tc
handle those who are ready to pay their
fare, and they are content to let the
roads make all the money they can, and
not burden them with the additional task
of handling perhaps two or three thousand
deadheadS.
