This state already ‘has two aspirants for second place in the field, and the Re- publican. candidate for the position has not yet been selected. What’s the matter with Minnesota furnishing him too?

The latest attempt to lay blame at his door is in connection with the Cuban postoffice frauds, and 1s done for the purpose of sheilding Secretary Root :and other McKinley pets. . Anti-Algerism 1s not as fashion- able as it once. was, however, and people are placing the blame where it rightfully belongs. pf Sk THE reasons.given by Mayor J. H. Koop of Brainerd for leaving the party that has repeatedly honored him and affiliating himself with the Republicans are decidedly novel, al- hough about as sensible and truthful as those given by McClenahan of the same town, and other insincere flop- pers. The Brainerd. Tribune, quoting _ |from the St. Cloud Journal-Press, says: “Mr. Koop is a German f pmnencay birth and breeding, and is well known through Stearns -county, havitrg sev- eral connections by marriage in St. Joseph town, They, with the public generally, will read with interest the following special from Brainerd, ap- oe | Pearing Monday in the Minneapolis Journal.” I consider it not only a pleasure but a duty I owe my neighbors to tell about the woader- ful cure affected in my case by the timely use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was taken very badly with a case of flux and procured a bottle of this remedy. A few doses of it effected a permanent cure. I take pleasure in recom- mending it to others suffering from that dreadful disease. Mayor Koop is evidently determ- ined that Mark Hanna shall not be blamed for his conversion. o> IT’S MORRIS AGAIN. Quite a number of postmasters and a tew other Republicans met the other day at Duluth: and, obiedient to instructions previously received, re- nominated Page Morris for congress. For fear that it may not be generally known, we will here state that Mr: Morris is the gentleman who has been supposed to represent this district at Washington during the past two terms, People will remember him as having on several occasions succeeded in get- ting his name into the papers by his maladroitness and on account of the series of egregious blunders he has committed. A man as absolutely de- void of personal magnetism as a piece of pulp timber, Morris has twice been elected over a man whose logic, elo- quence and personality commands the admiration of all; abscure, insigni- ficant and visionary, he has twice de- feated a man of more than national prominence, This 1s not so startlingly peculiar as at first sight it may seem. No credit tor the achievement is due Morris personally, for if he and his former opponent were allowed to make the race on their merits, with outside influences eliminated, the present member could not come with- in ten thousand votss of being elected. But Charles A. Towne, being a nation- al figure, 1t became a national matter to defeat him, To accomplish this, money was made no object, and a thousand dollars were spent to defeat him for each dollar spent to further his candidacy. Money has twice elected Morris; will it do so again? We think not, because it will not be used, ‘he trust magnates of this country did not expend a fortune to elect Morris—it was contributed to defeat Towne. Morris they knew to be a nonentity that circumstances had conspired to make Towne’s opponent, and they would have been as lavish with their wealth, no matter who might have occupied his uncomphi- mentary position. Indications are that this year Mr. Towne wiil not Le a congressional candidate, and this to a great extent obviates the necessity for Morris’ re-election, for no matter how able a man the Democrats may put up, he cannot have the same ef- fect upon the opposition as would the candidacy of Mr. Towne: Without his former boodle support Morris can- not be re-elected. ‘The people of this district know him to be absolutely un- fit for the position. He is not the peer of the average congressman— and that is saying mighty little. The people will not again be'deceived into voting for him by being told that in case of his election he will stand high in the councils of his party and be placed in a position to do much good for his district. What’s the use of placing him in such a position when he hasn’t the ability to do anything after he gets there? His constituents are tired of apologizing for what he has done and vainly waiting for what he should do. They will have no more of him. SS ee THE CASE OF M’CLENAHAN. A few..Republicans met at Aitkin the other day and nominated W. S. McClenahan of Brainerd for judge of the Fifteenth judicial district. Up to a short time ago this McClenahan was a Democrat—in fact, one of the leading Democrats of his section. He made up his mind that he would like ‘|to be Judge Holland’s successor on the bench and madé a trip through the several counties comprising the district for the purpose of finding out how his candidacy would be received.’ ‘This was while he was a Democrat, remember. He returned from this trip and announced that hereafter he would be a Republicun. and his boom as a candidate for the judgship was at once launched.” Had Mr. McClena- the principles that he so long and ably espoused before he took that initiatory tnp this might not look so peculiar. To thinking people it will seem as if it was because of the discouragement his ambition received. from the Demo- crats that he allied himself with the opposition. Everyone is well satisfied of the fact that had his candidacy been hailed. with delight by his former party associates, Mr. McClenahan would still be one of them, He found, however, that 1t whuld be impossible for him or any other man to go into the Democratic convention and defeat Judge Holland. ‘This left him one ot two things to do—bolt or withdraw— and he chose the former. His action forms a very good foundation for a charge of insincerity. A man who for years advocates a cause as the true one and then in a moment of pohtical disappnintment repudiates the entire fabric cannot be over-charged with stability, and stability and sincerity 1s something that the people demand in the judiciary. Mr. McClenahan may possess all the requisite qualifications for making an excellent judge, but his manner of obtaining his nomination will defeat him at the polls. age TOWNE’S NOMINATION. Nothing at present seems to worry Republican newspapers so much as does the nomination of ex-Congress- man ‘Towne of Minnesota for vice- president by the Populist convention at Sioux Falls. All kinds of ndicu- lous conjectures are expressed con- cerning the causes why a man who never was a Populist should be honor- ed by a nomination from that party. The Duluth News Tribune sees in it the hand of ex-Senator Gorman, with- out stating how ‘Towne’s nomination will in any manner benefit the Mary- land statesman. The same paper also states that Senators Pettigrew, Allen and Butler fouad themseives unable to stem the tide that lead to the nomina- tion of the Minnesotan, while the Omaha Bee says that these senators engineered his selection. Some of these papers claim to know positively that it was through Bryan’s dictation that Towne was put up for second place, while others assert with an equal degree of positiveness that it was done against Bryan’s wishes and advice. None of_these wiseacres |seem to have hit upon the idea that it might have been done because the delegates considered Mr. Towne the most available candidate and the one who could most effectually cement the fusion forces. It will be remem- bered. that in 1896 the Populists re- pudiated the Democrat’s carfdidate for vice president at their St, Louis convention. ‘This action was thought unwise by the rank and file of that party itself and deplored by the other two sections under the leadership of Mr. Bryan—tie Democrats and Silver Republicans. ‘he result as tar as the election was concerned would have been the same had the Populists en- dorsed Sewall, but their not doing so laid them open to a charge of selfish- ness. It may have been to prove that this time the party would be guilty of nothing that would in any way tend to split the fuston vote that Mr. ‘Towne was nominated. ‘The-conven- tion undoubtedly considered him the man most acceptable to the others of the tripartite agreement. Mr. Towne had for some time been mentioned as Col. Bryan’s running mate, had de- clared himself as wiiling to accept the honor if it were profiered; many dele- gations had been instructed for him and more would be so instructed, and altogether it looked as if he would be the choice at Kansas City. The Populists seeing this and coming pre- pared to nominate for president the man who would undoubtedly be the choice of the later convention, could see no harm in anticipating its action and-endorsing both its probable candi- dates beforehand. We do ‘not see why. any man or set of men would have to possess any rematkable degree of political astuteness, to encompass the nomination of Towne. The con- vention simply considered him a man acceptable to the other parties, accept- able to Bryan and leaders of the al- lied forces, and in order to prove that the Populist party hadjno intention of re-committing the blunder of ’96, they nominated him. There is hardly a doubt but Mr. Towne will be the]. choice of the Kansas City convention, but whether he is or not, we believe. that his nomination at Souix Falls was HAAS in good faith. z COUNTY AND VILLAGE OFFICERS COUNTY.
