The Globe Democrat says the names of Harrison, Blaine, Sherman and Allison, have figured in the na- tional convention for the last time as age or other conditions will retire all these men from the presdential race before the next assemblage of the party's representatives takes place. | The Globe Democrat might have al so added a few others on the list.

The echoes from Minneapolis give ho uncertain sound to democratic ears. The bugle notes from tbe falls of St. Authony are force bills in the government and eervility to the gold of the aristocrat—that most abject of all serfdom. The republican yoters, im whom individuality and Anglo Saxon manhood still remain thought they saw in Blaine the man for the time—the American type of exalted citizenship. They reeoguized his superb person and magnetic ality, and sought to endow him with the of official trusts—the presidency. Poor fools! had they forgotten in less than a year, that Blaine’s denun- ciation of the force bill aided Gor- man to strangle it in the senate? Had they forgotten the adverse crit | jicism of the MeKinley abomination | | —denying its efficacy to provide “a market for a bushel of wheat or a {pound of pork?” More than tbis— had lapsing years shrouded in obliv- jion the merited fate of the force bill of 1872 and the memory of those who slew it?) They may have forgot- ten these things, or remembered them only to admire the man who was greater than his party. But the “vepublican machine” never forgot and never forgets them. The politicians of the postoftice and distillery, in the convention hall drowned, with their puny roll-call, the loud acclaim of hovest republi- eanism all over this land, which neither holds nor wants office. The delegate was greater and worse than his constituency. There was in him neither forgetfulness nor forgive ness.

They stooped to the} lowest and most despicable devices to accomplish their designs. Pro- fessing a devotion to Blaine which they did not fee!, they took advan tage of the enfeebled physical and mental condition of that misguided man to induco him to repudiate his announcement of last February that he would not enter the race, and then abandon him in the most cowardly and pertidious manner in the Convention, as the vote revealed. Their intent was to beat Harrison by any means within their reach, even at the sacrifice of the man who in a moment of weakness was so unfortu- nate as to give ear to their promises | and plans. But retribution has come to them. These three men— Clarkson, Quay, and Platt—are the | most thoroughly beaten, humilated | persons who figured in the Minne- apolis assemblage.
