We do not know whether there is
any disposition to dispute the absolute
possession of the state of Georgia by
the Hearst men. We do not know
whether the Gray or German or Cleye,-
land or Mcclellan or Parker men will
make any effort to have an uninstruct-
ed delegation sent to St. Louis. It may
besthat they will lie down and let the
Hearst forces have the state by. de-
fault. But we hardly think So The
truth is Georgia has not made up its

DIETRICH DENIES IT
Testifies He Was Not Paid for
Appointments.

WASHINGTON, d c., March A.
The committee investigating charges
against Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska,
resumed it's hearing this afternoon
William Dutton, of Hastings, was re-
called and asked by Senator Hoar
whether he had ever had a conyersa-
ton with U. S. Rohrer, of Hastings, re-
garding the appointment of Mr.. Hannah
as deputy postmaster under Fisher,
and whether he had said that it would
take $500 to bring his appointment
Dutton emphatically stated that he had
never talked to Rohrer about the mat
ter and did not know that Hannah was
a candidate. This testimony was
brought out to eontroyert a letter sent
by District Attorney Summers through
the attorney general from Rohrer,
wherein it was stated that he had a
talk with Dutton regarding the ap-
pointment of Hannah as deputy post
master and that it would cost Hannah
$500 to be appointed.
Senator Dietrich took the stand and
said:
81 have never received cent for the
appointment of Jacob Fisher as post
master"
Senator Dietrich stated that Willie
ne was governor he had made con-
tract with the postoffice department
for the rent of the Dietrich building at
81, 700. This contract was made with
Postmaster General Smith. He heard
of protests regarding the rent to be
paid, and told Jacob Fisher that he
would take $1,000 for the building, al
though he felt that he ought not to
pay for the fixtures. Mr.. Fisher re-
spended that he would pay for the
fixtures Mr.. Dietrich declared that
Jacob Fisher would have been post
master no matter where the postoffiee
might have been located. He denied
that the deed of the postoffice prop
.erty was made to his daughter so that
he could lease his building to the gov
eminent.
Mr. Dietrich said that never had the
question of money been suggested to
any candidate or applicant for any po-
sitfen while he was governor or sena-
tor. and said he had never received,
directly or Indirectly, a cent for any
appointment he had made; nor had he
ever expected cent from anyone so
appointed.

late President Mckinley, also by Mr..
Patterson President Cleveland, he

Texas. The latter two names were ap-
plauded.

GO TO THE PRIMARIES.

There is one duty that should stand
every voter this morning. Whatever
may be your politics, go to the pri-
maries and cast a ballot for the best
men to be found in the entire list of
your party's candidates. That ought to
be more to you than any business you
may have on hand, than any CONNER
cial or personal or social engagement.
1t ought to be to you point of the
highest honor as well as matter Of
pleasure and of pride. f
The Glob e has adhered rigidly to
the rule that it laid down for itself and
announced at the beginning of the
preliminary campaign. 1t thinks that
where the direct primary system is in
effect, referring the nominations to the
people themselves, all newspapers should
keep their hands off. If the direct pri-
purpose, the public must be left free
from the dictation of a party press as
well as from that of party bosses, whose
influence the direct primary is supposed
to destroy.
:. No word has been admitted to our
columns, no argument, no illustration,
that could advance the cause of one
man or prejudice that of another. There
are men up as candidates whose sue
cess we believe would be hurtful both to
the city and to the parties whose support
they claim, and others whose nominal
ton would make sure a clean, efficient
administration Of municipal affairs.
The Globe has not, however, be-
lieved it to be it's duty or it's right to
voice these prepossessions, but rather
to leave the field perfectly clear and
pie.
The time has come for them to do
their duty. Unless they go to the polls
| in force, the government of the city for
the next two years will be put in
jeopardy and the direct primary will be
in the way to become total failure be-
cause the people do not take enough
interest in it to make it a success. 1t
is not the parties or the municipal goY-
eminent, but the voters themselves that
are on trial. Go to the polls today. Do
it the first thing. Let your first thought
when you rise be that today is dedi-
Gated to the conscientious performance
Of high and sacred public duty and
resolve that you will do nothing else
| until that shall have been completed.
If every man, Democrat and Repub-
lican. shall meet today in this spirit,
shall do nothing else until he has gone
to his polling place and voted and shall
there exercise the conscientious judg-
| ment of a worthy American citizen,
election day viii present to us an easy
task, and good government for st. Paul
| will be an already assured fact.
