eee. Grand Rapids MeraideMReview Published Every Saturday. By ©. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Six Months...... $1.00 | Three Months........ 50e Entered in the postoMmce at Grand Rapids Minnesota, as secoud-class matter. Louts on Thursday of this Sopa the Republican party nominated McKinley for president of the United States and Hobart of New Jersey as his running mate, and boldly declared for gold monometallism. The cam- paign is now clearly defined and the Republican position will make it still more certain that the Democrats will declare for gold and silver in their convention at Chicago on July 1. Every friend of bimetallism has reas- on to rejoice today. ‘The first signal yietory has been won. The agitation in favorof the money of the people has forced the gold-bug element to abandon their dual position and ac- knowledge to the country that their mission is to defend the interests and special rights of the dealers in gold. McKinley bas not been in sympathy with the prominence assumed by the financial question, but his opposition to recognizing its importance was overpowered by the emphatic de- mands of Wall street and the Eastern representatives of foreign capital, and the Republican nominee will bow aim submission to the dictates ,asters. In the event of his election he will go to the White house mortgaged to the men who dictated the platform—a platform framed in direct opposition to the interests of the producing classes. If the real sentiment of a vast majority of the Democrats of the country prevails at the Chicago convention, the platform there enunciated will demand -in language that cannot be misunder- stood the restoration of silver toan exact equality with gold as the mon- ey of the country without regard to the action of any other government upon the face of the earth. When this declaration has been made and a man of the people placed at the head of the ticket, then the silver forces of all parties will unite with the Democ- racy and certain victory will follow at the polls in November. Loca poli are now in an active state of suppressed excitement. There is, in fect, many an anxious aspirant to public office who is badly in need of the services of a reliable medium. ‘The streets are daily filled with candidates whose chances for election will average about one ina million. Yet, they have before them ever the phantom hope until defeat seals their fate in convention or ig- nornes them to death at the polls. It would be well nigh impossible to keep an accurate list of the chaps who are secretly scheming to capture the office of sheriff. An idea—con- fined entirely to those who have their own selfish interests in mind—that two terms should be the limit of office holding, seems to have inspired a small army of inexperienced and in- competent politicians to imagine that if they do not exhaust their stock of |”? promises of deputyships and cordial hand-shading between now and elec- tion day their chances of success are extremely bright. They seem to over- look the important fact that sensible citizens regard the faithful and satis- factory public servant in the same business-like manner~ that would prevail with them in the employment of persons to lock after their private interests; they overlook the fact that Sheriff Toole has served Itasca county to the complete satisfaction of all classes of citizens; that he is recognized as a man of sterling integ- rity; fearless and impartial in the discharge of his duties; conscientious and upright. And they seem, too, to overlook the still more important fact that he is the most personally popular man in Itasca county, with- out regard to partisanship. They ap- pear to have forgotten that in the Republican county convention two years ago he only failed of endorse- ment by nine votes, and would have received a hapsome majority had not the name of a third party been placed before the convention to divide the vote. And be it remembered that Mr. Toole did not ask his Republican friends for an endorsement nor did he know that his name was to be mentioned. If our kintergarten friends who have visions of future opulence via of the sheriff’s office would take these insurmountable barriers into consideration they would abandon their petty political enterprises and turn their energies in some more profitable direction. Eyery friend of Congressman C, A. Towne and every patriotic citizen who desires to repudiate and strke down through the ballot the organized and arrogant enemies of the producing millions must realize from this day forward that the effort to defeat the j Valuation of § brave and brilliant representative of this district will not be confined to arguments of the issues involved. Towne has been selected by the money power of the East as one who must be retired from congress at whatever cost. It would not be sur- prising to see a quarter of a million dollars poured into the Sixth district to encompass his defeat. ‘THE representatives of the bime- tallic forces ia the St. Louis conven- tion walked out when the single gold standard platform was adopted. This action means much more than the gold-bugs would like to admit, It is a strong indication of the feeling throughout the western states—states heretofore safely counted in the Re- publican column. They will be found voting for silver and their own inter- ests early in November. THERE is but little doubt that D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids will be {nominated for the legislature this year as the candidate for this district. No better man in the district could be chosen, and we would make a mo- tion that his nomination be made by acclaimation.—Wadena Pioneer.
