A POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
The New York Herald Sees Signs of One
in the Coming Election.

New York, Aug, 3O.-Under the cap
tion, "Is 1t Political Revolution?"
the Herald says editorially:
"To calm, dispassionate looker-on
in Vienna there are apparently unmis-
taxable signs throughout the country
of a politial revolution, as Mr.. Blaine
called the election of 1884.
''From the moment that Judge Parker
flashed his famous manifesto for the
gold standard q wave of enthusiastic
popular response has been rising and
rolling eastward, until it has sub
merged even the granite hills of New
England and other Republican strong
holds. AS far as the eye can reach the
once divided ranks of the Democracy
have been closed up and present the
spectacle of united phalanx, inspired
by spontaneous determination to press
the battle for the American flag and the
American constitution as they were
handed down by the fathers of the re-
public.
SIN the very bosom of the party in
power there have been not a few defec-
tions of eminent men who have long
fought for its ascendancy. More start
ling and significant still has been the
earnest movement among the class Of
independent and influential voters, as
illustrated in New York by the power
full association OF conservative and lead
ing lawyers, known as the Parker Con
stitution Club, protesting against Mr.
Roosevelt's policy Of force vigorously
warning for restoration of law and or
der, instead of a dictatorial, persona
Government, appealing to all good cit
izens to rally in the defence of civic
freedom and the sanctity of the obliga
tions imposed by international law.

STRONGER EVIDENCE.

''But much stronger evidence OF
general uprising of the people for re-
turn to constitutional government is
furnished by the careful investigation of
the Herald, published on August 9S.
which shows that even If Mr. Roosevelt
should be elected the chances are that
the Democrats will have majority in
the next House of Representatives The
result of these Investigations, which ac-
cord with other independent conclu-
sions, indicates in the light of hard facts
and very clearly that there are only II
debatable or doubtful congressional dis
tricts, OF which the present opposition
will need TO carry only 35 in order to
gain a bare majority. AS the Herald's
inquiry shows, the Republicans obvi-
ously labor uuder two-fold difficulty
first, that in states that have sup
ported them strongly in recent years,
as Pennsylvania and Illinois, they
stand to lose many members of Con-
gress, and second, Republican plural
tiles in every state in the Union, except
in the extreme Northwest and the
Rocky Mountain states, have been
shrinking ever since 1885, while the
Democrats, who were disaffected in
that year, have been returning to theil
old party allegiance, especially in the
Middle West, New York and New En-
gland.
"In the clear, cold light Of such facts
is it too much to infer that the reaction
which has set in since Judge Parker
elevating and inspiring campaign be
gan promises to alter most decided,
the present political complexion of th,
House? If this should be the case i
is possible, but it seems extremely i'm

Mr.. P. J. Metzdorf, the subject Of this
sketch, was born in ST. Paul March
10, 1869. He was educated in the ST.
Paul public schools, later finishing a
course in a business college.

ty treasurer in 1900, and in his first

pie of Ramsey county by discovering
tax frauds in which he saved the coun-
ty thousands of dollars. He was again
nominated and elected to the same po-
sition in 1902 by a majority of 5000
votes, and by his persistent aggressive
ness was instrumental in having a bill
passed by the legislature wherein a
new system of accounting was insti-
tuted, simplifying the keeping of rec
ords to the extent that more accurate
checking of accounts between the coun-
ty treasurer's and county auditors
Offices was inaugurated.
Mr. Metzdorf is a candidate for re-
election this fall on the Democratic
ticket, and from his faithful and .up-
right performance Of the duties of this
responsible. office for the last four years
will surely receive the votes of the adj
vocates of clean government. -;
The best evidence of faith in Mr..
Metzdorf's competency by the. voters
of Ramsey county is that he will prob
ably have no opposition to reelection.
