Reform Press Bureau, St. Paul, July 16, 1900. Asked to put into briefest words his {mpressions of the distinctive character- istics of the Kansas City convention, one of onr ablest state leaders said: “Patriotism, enthusiasm, earnestness, Americanism— Americanism rampant.’’ From the moment of reading of the Declaration of Independence to the closing cheers at adjournment, closing aconvention of great labors and tre- mendous interest, Americanism was the dominant sentiment. In the speeches, in platform declaration spe- cifically, in candidates offered and not chosen, in the wild scenes of the con- vention when the national emblems were universally used, patriotic senti- ments, at times almost a frenzy of such fervor, predominated. The national airs brought the thousands to their feet invariably, as references to the! Lincolns, Jacksons, Jeffersons and Washingtons in ideals, brought cheers and redoubled enthusiasm. And over and above all was the convention Amer- ican, in the ticket made, placing the greatest of living Americans first, as he is in the hearts of his countrymen, and in choosing as Bryan’s companion on the ticket that noble American, the | tried and trne sou of Illinois, ex-Vice President Stevenson. The country over has caught the sen- timent at Kansas City, and American- | ism promises an overwhelming victory. The wisdom of the platform in all its parts is now conceded, attesting anew the judgment and wisdom of our great leader. With few and rare exceptions, such as the St. Paul Globe, the Demo- cratic party is reunited. Its allies, Populists and Silver Republicans, have fallen into line. For the first time in a generation the lines of battle cre solidly drawn for the contest as to whether the people shall run their own government. Who will doubt the re- sult in such an alignment? It is this sentiment inspiring the car- toon this week, of Uncle Sam present- ing Bryan to the people at his immense meetings. What a contrast with the meetings thatthe Hannaites will run. Democracy led by Uncle Sam, Repub- licanism by Boss Hanna. And along with Americanism Dem- ; ocracy takes possession of the flag this ; year. Democracy will wave the flag against the Teddy hat. For Minnesota the outlook is inspir- ing in a great degree. All reform ele- ments accept the Kansas City action as | wise and worthy of approval, and for the first time in many years will all such forces be found supporting a single electoral ticket, nationally, as they will doubtless be found doing as to state officers after the state conven- tions called for Sept. 6. Was there disappointment as to Mr. Towne?. Possibly with a few, until they realized what he had gained per- sonally from his candidacy; that from a representative of astate,as a mere | candidate, coming from one of the allies, he has risen toa position of ac- tual leadership of the great Democratic party, destined toa great future, how great no man can foretell. Charles A. Towne a week ago hailed from Duluth and Minnesota. Now he lives here but hails from the nation at large. At this writing the sounds of the “rough riders’? can almost be heard coming up from Chicago for the St. Paul blow-out—the snort of the war} horse (or steam bullgine), the sharp crack of the champagne bottle. _ In the distance can almost be seen Teddy’s dental exposure, overspread by the halo from National Committeeman Shevlin’s | lexibrequins. But what a disappoint- ment there will be if Teddy has not re- covered from the sprain of his voice that he got out in Oklahoma, Speaking of Governor Roosevelt hay- ing sprained his voice, Dairy Commis- sioner Bowler says he is reminded of the accident to one of Colonel Liggett’s famous'cows. The animal slipped and strained her milk, Speaking of Governor Roosevelt’s presence here, perhapshe may drop some information as to what he has done about the Democratic mayor of New York for owning ice trust stock, along with what he knows of the 13 out of 15 Republican members of the board of directors of the trust, as well as the president and vice president of the trust who are also prominent Re- publicans of New York. Still, Governor Teddy may omit mention. Since Rooseyelt’s nomination the Chicago Times-Herald is more and more dubious of the Republicans being able to carry New York. Not content with snubbing Hennepin county Republicans in the state con- vention, the Ramsay managers snubbed her again and declined to let her have aepin deems herself better than a mere snubbing post will be shown in Novem- St. Paul is tickled that Hanna vetoed the idea of a big parade for Roosevelt. Was Hanna afraid it would be a fizzle, or that St. Paul people would get a penny or so from the large crowds that might come? The fact that Wall street prices rose by Bryan’s nomination was a stunner, but now the goppites say it was because of the weakness of the ticket. Selah. This Bureau is deluged with letters concerning The Globe’s ‘‘bolt,’’ gener- ally reporting the stopping of subscrip- tions and dissolution of Globe clubs. This is increased since, to The Globe’s mere declaration of determination not to support candidate and money plank, it has seen fit to add vituperation, as when it refers to the patriotic Democ- racy as ‘‘Bryan Boxers.’’ Democracy being the people, can probably stand it asiong as The Globe can. In which connection assurance can be given that ere long the people will have vewspa- per, service in their interest abundantly acceptable. Speaking of the press, the great Dem- ocratic papers which went to McKin- ley in 1896, have almost invariably re- turned to the fold, such as the Louis- ville Courier-Journal, New York World, Chicago Chronicle, etc., etc., while the great independent papers are many of them supporting the Democragy. Like- wise ‘‘Gold Democrats’ have been elim- inated. Democrats are with the Demo- cratic party. ‘Gold’? Democrats are simply Republicans. The wholesale price of sugar, re- cently raised by the trust to 6 cents per pound, makes it the highest for years, a boost from 334 cents. The raise rep- resents millions of profits. Tausdothe McKinley trusts go on fattening them- selves and making hay while the Hanna sun shines. Since March 14, the date of passage of the gold standard law, there have been more and larger failures than for any like period of which there is a rec- ord, just as there were more and larger failures following the inauguration of McKinley, thanin the worst days of | the Cleveland panic. And speaking of Cleveland panic days, Senator Frank A. Day of Fair- mont was telling usdown at Kansas City of a Republican farmer in his {county who would give $100 now te have Cleveland conditions back again, as to farm prices and cost of articles he must buy. The farmer showed that average prices ‘for products are no higher, if as high, while most that he must purchase are many per cent higher. Thus he could give $100 for Cleveland over McKinley times and make money by it. And here come goppite papers kick- ing because Governor Lind is planting beaver up North. The complaint is fur fetched. And speaking of like criticism, com- plaint from Washington is made that Governor Lind did not wait for action from Washington before sending troops to the Indian country. Seven brave and good men lost at: Leech Lake at- | test to the wisdom of Governor Lind’s prompt action. To wait for Washing- ton, as was done before, might have been to invite wholesale slaugnter. In discussing the Republican plat- form let our press not fail to note how the Hannaites have left it open as to the | Nicaraguan canal, so that the big ship- ping concerns, such as had the cream of transportation grabs in the Cuban war, shall carry on the business of the canal, rather than Uncie Samuel. Thus the language is that the government shall have ‘‘construction, ownership, control and protection of the canal,” but the word ‘‘operation” that is in all bills for the canal is carefully omitted. Hanna will carefully provide for the ‘‘oper- ation”’ of the canal by his subsidy pets, if the Republicans retain control of leg- islation. This point isemphasized by the Du- Inth Labor World, which well under- stands its significance, when contem- plating the grip that monopoly has taken upon lake traffic. And kind friend and reader note that when the ‘‘gold’” man kicks on the “money plank,” he is not kicking against the free coinage of 1896, bat against replacing national bank ‘‘rag money,”’ which is corporation money redeemable in nothing and not even a | legal tender, with government money redeemable in gold and silver. Read the platform and see if this is not true, We stand for ‘‘sound’’ money. Of course our Repablican friends do not like any references to the prospec- tive hard times that come from loss of crops. They do not like to be held re sponsible. But when the good God in his providence gives us the prosperity of bountiful crops, the goppites are the first to run in and take the credit for it. The Duluth Herald points ont where practical imperialism comes in, from the fact that principal henchmen of the administration have now gobbled the chief franchises in Hawaii, as they will proceed to doin Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Several of the Republican papers are quite onto the Republican game in Hennepin and Ramsey, which, -as_ the” Caledonia Journal says, is to rule or ruin. Certain it is that Republican prospects were never so poor as now in both the Twin City counties. And speaking of goppite blueness, they do say that Candidate Van Sant is very blue over the situation, and is, go- ing to have his steamboats all newly painted this fall, soasto be ready for the business he will remain in, early in the Roosevelt horse show. That Hen- the spring. G. 8. 0. LITTLE GIRL AND BIG MAN. The Latter Was a Burglar, But the Plucky Little Maiden Put Him to Flight. Bessie Holloway, a thirteen-year-old school girl, put a big burglar to flight from her-home last night with her father’s big revolver. Her parent was sick in bed, and she did not wisa to dis- turb him, so she tiptoed to the kitchen, where she La | hear] someone rummag- ing about, and, pointing the revolver directly at the intruder, said, in a com manding voice: “Run!” In making a precipitate exit, the man broke through a window. The noise aroused Mr. ‘Holloway, who came down stairs, and was greeted by his child with the expression: ‘f “Well, maybe he didn’t run, though! She is a mere child in appearance, and is very bashful over her exploit, seeming to regard it as a matter of course, the only thing for a dutiful daughter to do when her father was sick in bed and ought not to be dis- turbed by any noise or commotion. In narrating her story of the exploit, She said: “Papa was sick and sleeping, oh, so quietly, and I was in his room all alone, and then I heard somebody down stairs, and I knew they ought not to be down there, and there had been so many bad men breaking into houses that I thought they had come to take our things, and I did not want papa to be troubled. I took his big pistol on the mantle, and tiptoed down to the dining room in my bare feet, and there was a very big man peering into the pantry. “There was enough light to tell that he was a very big man, but I drew the revolver up with both hands, and said, ‘Run!, just as loud as I could, and he turned and looked at me so quick it frightened me, but he ran away through the window, and I was glad of it, for I really did not want to hurt the man, for he might have been only hun- gry. Of course, Bessie is the hero of the village, and, while she bears her hon- ors rodestly, her father will talk for her, and says she is the bravest little girl in the world.—Fenton (Mo.)
