b 1t his nerve failed him at these
critical junctures.
Then with an exhibition of nerve
that was as magnificent as it was alb
surd he declared himself a candidate
for the United States senate when he
stood no more show of succeeding
than General Stossel stood of eating
his Christmas dinner in Toxic at the
head Of victorious army. Gov. Van
SAINTS senatorial campaign would
have been one of the funniest things
that ever happened in Minnesota
politics if it had not been so extremely
pathetic.
Justice and candor however, impel
us to say that Notwithstanding his
political gyrations the rank and file
of the people still have profound faith
in him, and if the coming legislature
extends the primary election to in
clude all Offices and Gov. Van SAINT
should conclude to re-enter the
political field he will give any man
in the state a run for his money for
any Office he desires that is within
the gift of the people of Minnesota.

The memory of the coolest In
habitant' can scarcely run far enough
back into the misty past to remember
the time that Samuel X. Van SAINT did
not cherish the honorable ambition to
be governor of Minnesota. He was a
candidate before the convention that
nominated David P. P. Clough but
when Clough was nominated he ac-
quiesced loyalty in the decision of the
convention and on the stump and
everywhere he lent the powerful aid
of his influence in favor of the nomi-
nee. The election was close and had
he sulked in his tent or "campaigned
in Iowa and Indiana" the result
would probably have been different.
At the close of Gov. Clough's term he
was again an active candidate but to
his bitter disappointment VIM. H.
Eustis carried off the prize. Again he
bowed to the will of the party
and at the convention that nominated
his rival made one # the most ring
ing speeches of loyalty ever listened
to in convention. Eustis went
down to defeat before the doughty
Lind and at the close of Gov. Lind's
term Van SAINT reached the goal of
his long cherished ambition and re-
ceived the unanimous nomination Of
his party and at the end of one of
the most bitterly contested elections
was elected. He was not a popular
governor at first. He displayed too
much vaccillation and hesitation in
making appointments. He sur
rounded himself with a cabinet" of
advisers that were not popular with
the rank and file of the party.
Near the close of his first term a
gigantic combination of transporta-
ton companies termed the Merger"
was attempted to be formed. Gov.
Van SAINT opposed the formation of
this "Merger" with fearless determi-
nation and all the tenacity character
istics of his Dutch ancestors. In
doing this he broke with his old
cabinet" but became the idol of the
people.
Powerful interests opposed his
nomination but his newborn popular
ity swept every obstacle and he was
re-nominated and triumphantly
elected. Taking his two administra-
tons together they have been most
satisfactory to the people.
In the last campaign Gov. Van.
SAINT practically bolted the republican
convention and during the campaign
when he was sorely needed at home
he campaigned outside the state and
in states where republican state sue
cess was assured. There is no ques-
ton had he remained in the state and
rallied his friends to the support of
the republican candidates Minnesota
would today have a republican gov
ernor. We are not criticising his
action. Every man has the right
to follow the dictates of his own
conscience in matters political, but he
must answer for those actions before
the bar of his party.
The only criticism we have to offer
Van SAINT is that his nerve fails him
when he ought to be nervy and he is
exceedingly nervy when nerve is a
superfuity.
Had he announced himself as
candidate for governor at the proper
time there is no doubt he would have
been re-nominated for third term.
Had he vigorously cast the powerful
influence of his administration into
the pre-convention fight the result
of the republican convention and

John A. Johnson is now governor of
of Minnesota. His inaugural address
appeared in the dailies of last week,
and this week will be published in
full in most of the country weeklies.
Probably not one person in two hun
dred will read it in it's entirety, yet
it is a notable document and is worthy
of a careful perusal of every voter and
taxpayer in the state.
The message has something the
sound of a political manifesto but it
contains many salient, excellent and
we'll considered recommendations
The ST. Cloud Times prints a clear
synopsis of the recommendations
contained in the message which we
reprint.
We heartily agree with many of the
recommendations and to some we
are strongly opposed, but we waive
discussion of them for the present
time and will reserve our remarks
till bills are introduced in the legisla-
ture covering these subjects.
Recommendations
Creation of permanent tax COM
mission.
Enactment of franchise law.
Submission of a taxation amend
ment to the constitution.
Building separate industrial school
for girls.

Youngest Drummer in the Civil War.

Judging by the honorable discharge
certificates he is able to produce, says
writer in the Brooklyn Eagle, Ed
ward Duffy, Of Brooklyn, has a right
to call himself the youngest drummer
in the Civil War who is still alive. He
was born in Manhatt ttan on January q,
1850, and enlisted in the army when
between ~ and 13 years old.
He Joined the Thirty-third Indiana
Regiment, commanded by General
John Coburn, June /, 1863, and was
mustered out July 8, 1856. He was in
line at Cumberland Gap, the first
struggle in which the Thirty third par
ticipated, and was one of the musi-
clans with Sherman on the famous
march to the sea.
Duffy has had plenty Of adventure
throughout his life. Running the
breastworks at Atlanta under fire Of
sharpshooters affords one instance.
Possibly, as he suggests, being boy,
the marksmen wished to scare rather
than kill him, but as a man who tried
to pull him into the trench for safety
was killed, it is not best to be too sure
about the matter. He had another
memorable experience, at Peach Tree
Greek, near Atlanta. The stream was

The Boston Republic presents pic

were chosen mayors of their respec-

municipal elections held recently. BOs-

lins. Twenty years ago Boston had
her first Irisl-American mayor in
Hugh O'l'rien, now deceased. He was
the first Catholic mayor to be elected
in Massachusetts.
Fall River, Mass, city of some
thing over hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, elected John Il. Coughlin mayor,
and Lowell, with population of about
one hundred thousand, elected James
B. Casey mayor. The city of Cam
bridge, which is the seat of Harvard
University, but which has become an

ent, was also an Irish American Law
renee, Massachusetts, which has a

Patrick J. Boyle is mayor Of Newport,

towns like Pawtucket and Woon-
socket have 1rish-American mayors.

Since his active army days ended,
Duffy has lead varied life. He lived
for years i'll indianapolis and Shelby
vile, Ind, and in Topeka, Lawrence
and Sterling, Kan. At many of these
places he taught drum corps of the

member of Meade Post. Among his
more distant scenes of activity were
Mexico, where he served in the Twen-
