TOO MUCH POLITICS.

AoS N OOkE PSA&44SS.
The writer for the first time attended
= meeting of the State Editorial asso-
station, held in Minneapolis the past
week. It may not have been good
sample of the meetings Of that body,
but it was disappointment to say the
least, for it was no more nor less than
an extemporaneous political gathering
for most of the men. Outside of the
association meetings and at the ban
quet the one topic of discussion was
the question of governor. The three
candidates for the nomination of gov
@rnor on the Republican ticket, were
omnipresent and made the most of the
occasion. Two of them were on the
program for speeches at the banquet,
and while they did not rush into the
question of their own fitness for the
position, there was no trouble in find
ing out what the meaning of their re-
marks were.
Judge Collins very modestly referred
to the excellent work that J. J. Hill
was doing in the state, and classed
him with the uncrOWned statesmen OF
the state. The judge was very modest
in his remarks, but not so with Mr..
Dunn. He told how he had been dis
covered and how he had served the
people, and with all how he would like

Mr.. Eddy was apparently left off the
program and out of the banquet be-
cause it was thought he would not
count. 1t was neither the time nor the
place for anything of that kind. No
candidate should have been on the list
of speakers, and politics should have
been cut out Of the meeting altogether.
AS it was the democrats not having
a candidate, were obliged to choose
between the remarks of Mr.. Collins
and Mr.. Dunn for their opportunity to
applaud, and Mr.. Dunn had clearly
the majority with him though as to
merit his speech was woefully lacking,
and Mr.. Collins gave an excellent
though very short address.
Among the best things that were
said at the banquet were said by John
A. Johnson Of st. Peter, and when he
speaks everyone listens. Withall
though it was a sort of d potpourri in
this respect, the banquet was decided
success, and the spread and service
furnished by the proprietor Of the Mic
ollet hotel was above criticism. It was
not noticed that any Of the editors ate
the soup with their forks, though be-
ing served in cups, some Of them in
sisted that it was tea and wanted
cream and sugar for it, while the bu-
collie ones who did not use either sugar
or milk proceeded to drink the soup,
scorning the use Of the spoon provided
with it.
But then few of the editors who were
present had ever been entertained in
like manner and they will know better
next time, for there are none so quick
to learn as this same class OF men who
know more about pi and printers ink
than they do about the French dishes
that 60 to make up these swell ban
quets.
One thing that was not to the credit
of the wholesale paper houses repre-
sented in the gathering was the suppo-
sition they had that all who were there
were men whose ambition on being
there was to fill up on booze, and the
hotel bar did q fourishing business
for there was evident strife among
them to see which of the paper houses
could pay for the most booze. They
probably know their business, but nc
man or set of men can buy fayors Of
