Robinson ...John Rellis homas Trainor The make-up of the democratic county ticket commends itself to the voters. Page Morris is making an “active” campaign, and is making votes—for his opponent—wherever he‘goes. Honest Harry Hawkins, of Carlton, the laboringman’s lawyer and friend, will be the first senator of the new 52nd legislative district. Jadam * Bede and Williamhenery Eustis will open the republican cam- paign in Minneapolis next week. There is an -elegant pair to draw to to make a “bluff.” John Lind, the gallant soldier” boy, will make the welkin ring if the re- publican organs‘of the state keep up their silly play of casting reflections on his official record as quartermaster. The eruption of Vesuvius is as- sumisg mammoth proportions, but i will have to make some giant strides if it will keep pace with the great up- heaval in Minnesota politics this year against republican misrule. ’Tis said that Mark Hanna will take a hand in Minnesota politics and_ will tap a barrell in the endeavor to save the state from going democratic. We commend several holders of large, un- paid time-checks, which William Henery Eustis distributed among the laboringmen of this county a few years ago, for “patronage’’ from the the aforesaid barrel. The Magnet this week says that the Herald-Review’s write-up cf the Page Moris meeting here last week was “nasty, dirty, false and malictous,” and then proceed to inform the public that upon our editorial staff we have an “individual” whose brains cannot be compared with those of a jack- rabbit. proceedings of the meeting we will Now as to our review of the haye to take exceptions to the Mag- net’s criticism and assert that there was nothing therein “nasty, dirty, false or malicious,” either in intent or utterance. If our . contemporary thinks otherwise it. should specify wherein the “nastiness, — dirtiness, falseness and maliciousness” appears in the review. As to the gray or- ganic matter which fills the “think- tank” of any member of our editorial or mechanical staff we heartily agree with the Magnet scribe that it is not of the same substance found in the cranium ofa jack rabbit. Would that we could say ‘the same about the DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM. Hereby reaffirm the Chicago Na- tional Democratic platform, and ‘pledge to it their unswerving support until its principles shall have be- come the established governmental policy. We recall with pride the courage and gallant leadership of our late presidential candidate, William J. Bryan. His devotion to the prin- ciples of free government and splen- did elucidation of those principles in thecampaign entitle him to the last- ing gratitcde of the people. We commend as wise, patriotic and brave the actions of our Democratic senators and representatives in con- gress, and we confidently trust them inall the trying emergencies of the hour to preserve the people’s rights while they uphold the country’s hon- or. In the momentous struggle in which we are now engaged every re- source, moral and material, should be employed in a vigorous prosecution of the war to a triumphant conclu- sion. When our country is engaged in foreign conflict, political partisan- ship should be merged into united and enthusiastic support of all meas- ures necessary for the success of American arms. We rejoice in the skill, bravery, | martial exploits and fortitude already exhibited by our gallant soldiers and sailors. We demand that those who may survive shall receive adequate recognition of their valor, devotion and sacrifice, and we pledge to them that they shall not be forgotten at home while they are fighting our battles abroad. Those who may fall in the fight shall be ever held in that grateful remembrance traditionally characteristic of tne American people. *We hereby denounce monofplies and trusts as dangerous foes to the peace, well-being and prosperity of the people. We find in the public affairs of Minnesota a political condition such as to cause in the minds of thought- ful citizens grave apprehensions. Great as has been our progress in population and wealth, we declare that such growth would have been much greater had there been at all times an open, honest and impartial administration of our public affairs. Let facts speak io prove this as- sertion true: 1. During the period of Republican control our people have seen their vast heritage of public lands—agricul- tura], timber and miseral, an empire in itself—frittered away aba price rediculous when compared with their true value. 2. They have seen millions of acres thus obtained wrongfully with- held from taxation. 3. They have seen the farmers, toilers and producers of wealth com- pelfed to bear this increased burden of taxtion. 4. They have seen them subjected to the most merciless exactions of railroads, warehouses, elevators and other favored corporations. These corporations specially favored have in return controlled legislation, dictated nominations and furnished the money to carry elections. The policy of this class has been to divide and ruin, then conbine, divide and ruin again. 5. Our banking institutions, established to care for the deposits of the people, have not had their condi- tion of solvency or insolvency ex- amined by a competent bank examin- er. Even where reports of insulven- cy were wade they have been with- held from public view. Througha wrongful combination at the state capitol millions have been lost to our people, while the good name of our state has suffered abroad. 6. The oftices of the clerk of the supreme court, oil inspection and sur- veyors of logs have been allowed to demand and receive exorbitaat fees, amouuting to about $50,000 annually, which, if at all proper should have gone into the public treasury. In- stead thereof, they have been used for the most part to perpetuate “machine rule.” 7. Our railroad and warehouse commission has failed to fully pro- tect the people. Unjust discrimina- tions and exorbitant charges in rail-j way rates demand proper regulation by this commission. In every portion of the state equal and reasonable charges for transportation should be faithfully maintained.. The members of such commission should be no longer open to appointment by the governor but should be subject to election by the people. 7. Weare even now confronted by aspectacle more’ humiliating. The present administration, assuming to act under the honored party name of Greeley and Lincoln, attempts to pro- vide for its succession and uses there- for the public machinery of the state. The favored corporations name the public officials execute, and thus itis farcically proclaimed that the people of Minnesota are to be allowed to! continue in the enjoyment of “good government and sound money.” In view of all these and many other | west as Leeds an wrongs in the administration of our! Pembina. state affairs, se. convention now! the grain bet) 1s how on. pledges itself to the work of thorough and complete reform. It deraands: 1. That the public lands reinain- iug unsold shall be sold “only at their fair value. 2.. That all) public institutions stall’ Ben managed with prudence and economy, 8. That we shall not lose the fruits secured by the decision of the supreme court in the land tax case. By that decision 8,500,000 acres of un- used railroad lands will be added to the tax list. Theincreased valua- tion will be from $15,000,000 to $20,- 000,000, annually. We demand that in the threatened appeal to the United States supreme court the legal department of this state shall per- form its full -duty that the people’s rights may be protected. 4. Of still greater value, perhaps, is the decision of the supreme court in the Steener rate case. 1t estab- lishes the principle that the basic charges for transportation should be no more than a fair income on the cost of reproduction of the plant. This principle should be maintained at all hazards. and applied in all matters of public franchise. Both these decisions and many others amply attest the fullfilment of our promises made in 1892 in refer ence to the judiciary. Regarding agriculture as one of id substantial foundations of pros- perity. We look with interest upon all forms of diversified farming. 6. We favor the election uf United States senators by the people direct. 7. We condemn with severity all partisan appointments to the judiciary. 8, We favor legislation looking to the construction and maintenazce of 'goud roads. 9. We recommend that within reasonable limitations the principle of direct legislation be applied. 10. We faithfully promise that if entrusted with the administration of affairs there shall be atall times wise, frugal! and competent government. To the end that all these wro may be righted and all these reforms effected. The Democrats of Minnesota, deep- ly impressed with the solemnity of their cause and actuated only bya stern sense of duty, now call upon all the people, i pective of former political affiliations, to join with them in one grand and heroic effort to break down ‘the rule rings’ and to redeem our state from its long and oppressive misrule. Not the Wisest Way. It is not always best to wait until it is needed before buying a bottle.of Chan.berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Quiie frequently the remedy is required in the very busi- est season or in the night and much inconvenience and suffering must be }borne before it can be obtained. It costs but a trifle as compared with its real worth, and every jamily can well afford to keep it in their home. . It 1s everywhere acknowledged to be the most snccessful medicine in the world for bowel complaints. For sale at Bell’s drug store. $10 Excursion to Detroit.
