The next few weeks are liable to be extremely lively in Re. publican circles, as the hosts of Clough close in caucus and conven- tion with the cohorts of antis. To our impartial eye it looks as if the governor had the best of it so far, and hasan exceedingly good chance of capturing the nomination. Of course it is none of our fight, but as a citizen of Minnesota we can’t help wishing the governor success in the gallant fight he is making, especially when awe consider the plain animus of his enemiesin his own party, and the tactics they are using to defeat him. | Minnesota Democracy is strong the majority for the restoration of the white metal, and if they fail to control the conventions of the! party it will a case of criminal careless- ness. in Itasca county is in line for sil- ver and there will be no mistake made in the sending of delegates. “THE GRAND Rapips HERALD wants the different counties in the 56th legislative district to combine on Dan. Gunn and give him the Republi- can nomination for state senator.’’— Brainerd Tribune. The different counties might look around all sum- mer and do considerable investigating and then do no better than to nomi- nate Dan Gunn ‘or the senate. THE Populist congressional com- mittee have called their convention for the Sixth district to meet at Du- luthon June 25. Under favorable circumstances it would be interesting to see the Populists endorse Chas. A. Towne and make another winning in the Sixth. PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1t is pot hecause he is incapable or dishonest; every man in the — state knows he is neither the one nor the BOARD OF other; but simply because he aided in defeating Senator Wasbburn for re- U U election, that such a desperate at- County Commissioners tempt is heing made to down’ him. ‘The HeraLtp-Reyiew has no doubt OF that the governor did assist in the senator's defeat, but then so did nine tenths of the rank and file of the Be- publican party in the state, and that being the case would scarce be jus- tice to single him out for vengeance, and as the great bulk of the people shed no tears when Washburn was de- feated, we do not think they are going to crucify Clough for being one of the instruments in his political taking off. We must confess that we've al- ways hada kindly feeling for Dave He is a genuine man. ‘There’s no doubt of that. Like the Dulk of our own people he has earned his bread by the labor of his own hands. He has fought his way up- ward by his own exertions. In his prosperity he has never turned his back on the friends uf his adversity and noman can say that he ever “went to him hungry, and he fed him not; thirsty, and he gave him not to drink, naked, and he clothed him pot.’ And like our own people he, is Lhoroughly human. He says what he thinks, and thinks what he says. If he wished to express a thorough con- tempt for an indiyidnal. for instance, would not refer to himas a “divine- cemuned offshoot of the canine bub use the short, sharp “sabre cut of saxon speech” that we do, Neither friend or foe has ever seen his back, and the only thing the HERALD-REVIEW has against him is his polities. Governor Clough has been a good friend to Grand Rapids and to Itasca county. He is “our own kind of people.’ He is of the workers as are we, and we earnestly trust our Republican friends will Send down a delegation to St. Paul instructed to yote for him from start to finish. race, Tue Duluth Herald is a poor poli tician. It professes to be, and noq doubt is, earnest in its advocasy of Congressman Towne and the princi- ples which he represents on,fhe flnan- cial question, and it professes also to desire his nomination by the Republi- can party at the St. Cloud conven- tion, and yet itis the only paper in the district to mix the congressional campaign up with the gubernational muddle. The Herald takes upon itself the responsibility of assuring Lhe people that Mr. Lee isa friend of Towne, while, it says, the Champions of Clough are not. This may be true, but the HERALD-ReEview has no evi- dence at hand to bear out the claim. Where and at what time has Mr, Lee declared in favor ofsthe free coinage of silver? Where and at what time has he been outspoken in favor of the course pursued by Mr, ‘Towne?, Where and at what time has he done or said anything that would lead us to believe that he is less of a machine politician than any of the’ other aspirants for gubernatorial honors? When the Duluth Herald has made satisfactory answer to these pertinent questions Mr, Towne and his friends might be justified in giving some con- sideration to the claims of Mr. Lee. In the meantime it is very evident that our Duluth contemporary has} succeeded in precipitating a disagree- able contest in the congressional campaign that will not result in ad- ding strength to Mr. Towne’s cause. Some times itis well to deliver a good man from the hands of his friends, and this case appears to be one such, —_—_ Ir is becoming more and more ap- parent that the Sixth congressional district Democrats will declare for silyer and the HeraLp-Revinw would not be surprised to find the Democyatszin state convention make a similar declaration of principles on the financial question.
