What the Editors Say

II 4S HOW apparent TO everybody That |
the Republicans of Minnesota made a |
mistake in the selection of their cam
didates for governor and lieutenant |
governor and several other Of their
candidates for state officers. It can
not be denied that the Democrats at
their convention last week named q
ticket which is more representative
closer in touch with the interests and
wishes of the people Of the state and
stronger in the individual character of
its candidates than that nominated
two months ago by the Republicans.
Nor can it be denied that the Demo-
cratic convention was conducted in
more reputable manner and on a high
er plane than was the Republican

friend of the merger railroads, the
steel and lumber and other corporate
interests. and it Is a fact that official
reports of the public examiner are now
on file containing stated instances in
which his misconduct of the state
auditors Office has lost the public
school fund nearly 100000 and prob
ably much greater sum. No salts

Lovely will command an immense vote
from all parties. as his fitness and
ability for performing the important
duties of so high judicial position
as judge of the supreme court of the
state are everywhere recognized and
conceded and no doubt a majority of
the voters of the state realize that he
was cheated out Of the nomination in
the Republican convention by methods
that would make the most corrupt
Tammany brave blush with shame. It
is UP to the people whether they want
the judiciary subject to the political
jugglery that prevailed at the time
Judge Lovely was defeated.-Albert
Lea Tribune.
When 1888 applicants for teachers
certificates out of total of 6,487 fail
to pass, it shows conclusively that
something is out of joint with our ed
ucational institutions, or that some
thing is wrong with the questions pro-
pounded, or both. AS this seems to
be the day of commissions of all kinds,
why not have committee of business
men appointed to ascertain whittier

There seems to be a growing senti-
ment in favor of the adjustment Of

to convict criminals, and the work
thus accomplished should not be null
lifted by a state board.-Dodge County

changes. Once a governor Of Mime
sofa, state auditor and a member Of
the legislature clasped hands on an
agreement not to vote for the guber-
material nominee of the party. Now

gress and the auditor for governor, but
the man they helped to defeat is not
on the stump for them.-Little Falls
Herald.
"And nobody thinks of the poor
campaign poets who will have to find

And that's enough;
He'll pay for all the higgins.

view of his judicial position, he could
not make without loss of judicial dig
| nity.-Winona Republican.
