One who studies the political plat- forms and watches the political move- ments of the current year 1b most of all impressed with the lamentable folly of throwing away one of the greatest opportunities to serve the country and to exalt the Democratic party that has ever been presented. As a matter of fact, when the Republi- cans named McKinley at St. Louis they opened the way to a comparatively easy defeat. With almost any other of the candidates before that conven- tion as their nominee the advantage which they had' exhibited in popular , elections within the last few years might be expected to carry them into power. With McKinley as the candi- date it is possible, we are not yet will- ing to say it "was" possible, for the Democrats to win an easy victory. The Republican party, as a whole, aside from the shouters who prevail in con- ventions and fill street parades, neither admire nor trust this man of one idea. They believe him to be honest, but they shrewdly estimate him as the smallest bit of timber ever proposed to be put Into the presidential niche. His utter- ly wrong-headed position on the finan- cial question for the last twenty years, his timorous and disgraceful silence at a time when the whole nation demand- ed that he should speak, his extreme ideas on the tariff that make certain another disturbance of business and a practical prohibition of imports, and the known fact that he is a man with- out breadth of opinion or any opinion whatever on current questions outside of the tariff, all of these make him conspicuously unfit for the great place fpr.,. which he has been nomi- nated. We say advisedly that of the Independent vote, which is a control- ling factor in perhaps a dozen states in the Union today, Mr. McKinley < could not poll 1 per cent. Nor is this all. By making McKinley Its standard bearer, by rallying to his nomination and support the mighty corporate interests cf this country, by purchasing a nomination and planning to purchase an election with funds that are to be paid back by the people in the shape of additional taxation, the Republican party has challenged the moral sense of the nation. It is a time when the people are ready to rise against the undue dominence of such influences as these in our politics. It is a time when the people are deeply stirred against the dominence of power- ful interests in our public and business life, and are eager to resist. It is a time when the encroachments of gov- ernment everywhere, through legisla- tion, national and state, upon the liberty of the individual have become constant and dangerous. It is a time of rampant paternalism. It Is a time when lovers cf liberty and those to whom the future of this republic is dear turn naturally to the Democratic pjf-ty as their hope of relief, and their defender from the corrupt and cor- rupting forces that are at work to undermine the nation. No greater op- portunity, no more glorious mission was ever set before any party since the downfall of negro slavery. And what do we find? As an answer to the great need of the nation, to the clam- orous cry of the individual for liberty and justice and equality before the law, we have, a few men, whose sin- cerity is more than matched by their narrowness, proposing to thrust all these great moral issues into the background, and-4o substitute for them one which is not only, as we believe, repugnant to the moral sense of the* country itself, but which is absolutely certain to disrupt Democratic solidity, to divide the Democratic strength and to repel, to a man, the independent vote. This is the sacrifice to be made to a chimera. We can scarcely consider the wrong of it, because we are. over- whelmed by the pity of it. Think of what the Democratic party might do for the struggling, depressed, unhappy- masses of this people. Think of what the Democratic party itself might be- come as the savior of true democracy and the restorer of the primitive sim- plicity of the republic. Think of the great rallying to it of the people whose hearts beat as strong and true as ever for liberty. Think of its own sure destiny as a guide and protector of the people for a generation to come. Then consider the proposition to set all these needs to one side; to throw to the winds this splendid opening; to repel at the point of the bayonet and force over to the enemy the great independent army of the honest money vote; to split the Democratic party itself down the middle; and to say to the people that every other duty should be forsworn, and every other issue neglected until we have, by legislation, enacted that four times one shall equal two. The pity of it for the nation! The pity of it for the Democracy! Is there not patrio- tism and strength enough remaining in the party to avoid this blunder, which is more than a crime? A LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE. For the second time within a week the people of Minnesota have been shocked by the commission of unpro- voked and bloody crime within their boundaries, and again obedience to law and order has triumphed over the natural human instinct to seek imme- diate reprisals. The McLeod county murder was a peculiarly atrocious af- fair. The victim was an officer in the discharge of his duty, and the offence for which he sought to arrest the crim- inals was not one whese consequences would drive the most desperate of men to take life in an effort to escape. It was. moreover, peculiarly stupid and vicious in that it made the apprehen- sion of the guilty men absolutely cer- tain, and only changed the charge against them from a comparatively tri- fling one to another that will undoubt- edly make their worthless lives forfeit to the state. It is such offenses as this, not committed in the heat of passion, or under any provocation, or even in self-preservation that strain the tem- per and try the patience of any com- munity. There was reason to believe that the people of Glencoe and the vicinity had been too severely wrought upon by this terrible crime to be entirely capable of that degree of self-restraint which would permit them to turn over these wretches to the punishment of the law. We cannot blame them; for with ref- erence both to this crime and to that at Wyoming the commonly expressed hope everywhere was that the mur- derers might be shot on sight. But we are deeply gratified that action on the part of those charged with the ex- ecution of the laws, those whose duty it is to repress passion and protect even the guilty until the law shall take ttsr. course, was so prompt and well- clibsen that all possibility of popular tumult was avoided. The dispatch of a company of state militia to the scene, and the transfer of the prisoners to the county jail in St. Paul has once more guarded the laws of the state from infraction and the honor of the state from being sullied, at a time when the feelings and passions of men are stirred to their depths. Thus far all has been well. Now the earnest- ness and swiftness of action to pre- vent a breach of the law in order to take vengeance on the guilty should give place to equal decision in enforc- ing the laws against them. The pen- alty in its most awful form cannot be visited too quickly upon these red- handed ruffians who have chosen Min- nesota as the scene for their final crimes. The gallows waits for them, and it should not be disappointed. m A MIXTURE OF SENSE AND NON- SENSE. Gov. Altgeld made a speech to the delegates, and galleries, in the Illinois Democratic convention, which,—ignor- ing the money plank the governor had prepared far and had adopted by the Cook county convention, in which free coinage was demanded at a ratio not named, —adopted a straight sixteer.-to- one plank. The governor felt called upon to excuse this action of the state convention. "Bitter experience," he said, "has taught the people that their interests are always in danger in Wash- ington" and that, "ifwe succeed in this campaign the victory may be thrown away there," consequently it is felt to be necessary to "leave no room for quibbling." The governor is amply justified in this statement by the treat- ment the Democratic party re- ceived when its victory at the polls on the tariff was converted into a victory for the protectionists at Washington. But because of this experience in the tariff Gov. Altgeld thinks it the best thing to declare for free coinage at 16 to 1 flat, which is "nothing new, but only a return to the old." "It being necessary to make a specific declara* tion in order that we may not lose the fruits of victory in case we win, and no man having suggested anything better, the one thing for us to do is to declare for that historic ratio under which. we prospered and which is In harmony with our whole financial sys- tem." That the governor it not self- deceived, that he does not believe that congress or parliaments can create a ratio nor do anything but adopt the commercial ratio, is evident from what he said prior to his attempt to justifly a declaration which involves the pro- position that congress can make any ratio it seas fit to. "We are at once confronted with the question* of ratio," he said. "Theoretically the bimetallic system does not depend on any partic- ular ratio, and if this question could be considered by congress ori Its mer- its alone, and free from outside pres- sure, it is probable that the question, of ratio v/riuld not be discussed at all "by the public/ r;-^ *£$&. \u25a0. Here then we have tne admission of one of the leaders in this movement to establish the absurd proposition that congress can create values, admitting that it cannot, but insisting that H should be demanded because "no man has suggested anything better," and because congress will not do any- thing unless it be commanded .to do what it cannot do. Starting with the Democratic statement of ratios and the relation of government to them, Gov. Altgeld strides over into the Re- publican-Populist-Socialist camp and accepts their theories of government and finance. How does Gov. Altgeld knew that it would be impossible for a congress in Washington to deal with the question of ratio "theoretically?" At what time since this agitation began nineteen years ago has it ever been asked to so consider it? Did the men who backed Bland in 1878 do it? Did they propose any examination of the commercial ratio with a view to the adi justment of the legal ratio to it? Has any such proposition ever been made since? Saving the propositions to vote on different ratios in the Fifty-third congress,-has there ever been anything else but a strenuous demand for six- teen to one? Why, holding the same views he expresses, did not the governor himself suggest "something better?" When he and his henchman, Hinrichsen, a year ago began the conversion of Illinois Democracy from the ar.clent faith, why did he not then "suggest something better*" than 16 to 1? Why now com- pel Democrats to choose between the surrender of their convictions, the abandonment of principles of govern- ment that are the very heart and soul of Democracy, and a refusal to have part or lot in the heglra? There are men in plenty who are not as complai- sant as is the governor of Illinois when: principles and deep convictions are at stake, men who would gladly see con- gress "considering the question on its merits" as Jefferson did, but who will not be carried into Republican protectionism and Populistic socialism because some others affect a belief that congress cannot be trusted to "deal with the question on its merits."

LONDON, June 27.—The Daily Gaphic has a column article this morning on the Yale oars- men, in which it says: "The Yale stroke is long in comparison with Cornell's, but it is still short In accordance with English ideas. That is chiefly to blame Is that It is short at the beginning." It further says regarding the advisability of lengthening the stroke: "The men are not likely to pick up a new style in two or three weeks. The abandonment of the Cook stroke would deprive both the Americans and the English of the opportunity of watching an in- teresting experiment. The Yale men are splendid and are especially neat, and their best feature is that they slide well and evenly. In neatness they might give a lesson to many English crews. But neatness is not every- thing. It must be remembered that the sever- est of Cornell's critics could not find fault in this respect. Perhaps the most striking and pleasing feature is the uniformity of their swing." This article concludes as follows: "Although It is probable that their style would be fatal to them on the university course from Putney to Mortlake, yet with their undoubted strength and go, and the improvement they are making they may yet prove to be formidable compet- itors at Henley. When they get to work there appears to be plenty of weight and muscle behind the stroke, with a strong leg drive, and they finish neatly with a clean recovery! In view of the strong side wind and no one to push them, it may be said that their time has been beaten pretty often, but not in the finals for the grand challenge cup in the last four years." The Field, the well-known sporting au- thority, says of the Yale men this morning: "Since our last notice the Yale crew has made a marvelous change in Its stroks. In- stead of a short, snatchy stroke, they keep a fair length, and are much steadier forward and get their shoulders well back with a cer- tain amount of body swing. That the crew should be instructed to so change its style Is the greatest compliment to English oars- men. In a couple of trials over the half course Wednesday, the Yale men showed a slight tendency to relapse into the old style. It Is doubtful whether at present they are better. If quite as good, as they were last Saturday. But that they will be most for- midable opponents is certain, though whether the many changes already made and contem- plated are altogether wise with the short time before the regatta Is somewhat doubtful. "Dr. McDowell is the type of amateur who is welcome here. His style of work does not coincide with our ideas, but he is convinced that more pace can be obtained that way, with less physical exertion and strain on the lungs, than in any other. He certainly has pace. His boat is always traveling, and his stroke is nowise so short as might be ex- pected from the style. The crews for the grand challenge cup are generally better than was expected." Latonia Results. CINCINNATI, 0., June 26.—Summary: First race, six furlongs—Kingstone won, Mesh second, Crumbaugh third.

I) . -'i > BOYS AND GIRLS TOGETHER HOLD INTERESTING GRADUATING EXERCISES AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. - ' ? ROLL OF HONOR IS A LONG ONE. Arehbtabop Ireland Ad_resne_ tbe Graduates and Tbeir Friends Happily and Seriously. The graduating exercises of the class of "9«" cf the Cathedral schools at the Grand opera house last evening filled the theater with one of the largest audiences which had ever passed j through its doors. When the time ar- j rived for ringing up the curtain for the last act in the school life of the graduates, every seat was occupied j and the auditorium presented a scene of animated anticipation on the part of friends present, which was enhanced from an artistic standpoint by the pretty summer costumes of the ladies and the abundant display of flowers. Though of some length, the pro- gramme attested its merit by the in- terest manifested throughout by the assembled company, and the entire lack of friction with which one num- ber followed the other to a happy con- clusion. As the curtain rose the Cretin school chorus, consisting of the entire enroll- ment, greeted the audience with a song of welcome which called forth the heartiest applause. As the last words of the song died away Miss Mary Brennan, a member of the graduating class, stepped forward and added the greeting of the class of 96 to that of the general student body. Preceeding an oration on "The Bright Side of War" by John J. Feckey, the vocal class sang a pretty chorus entitled "Summer Fancies." Mr. Feckey's theme dealt with the necessity of war in the process of nation-building, and, as developed by the young orator, showed the progress which civilization had made as a result of history's great struggles. The little ones were next afforded an opportunity of displaying their pre- coslty in a pantomime and reading under the title of "Bo Peep's Party," which greatly amused the audience by the introduction of Mother Goose char- acters in which the diminutive Thes- pians evinced an earnest desire to please, which was generously applaud- ed. Miss Mary Palmer added to the pleasure of the occasion by reciting "The Ant and the Cricket," a tale with a moral, pointing out the discredit into which individuals often fall by a too constant "singing." After "The Play House" song, by a chorus of twenty-four daintily clothed children, James L. Ryan rendered a negro dialect story in a manner which greatly pleased the audience. A large bouquet of roses was tendered Mr. Ryan at his conclusion. "Dottle's Dream," a drama in one act, portraying the trials of early school life, in which a stubborn little miss re- fuses to learn her lessons and in a dream is visited by a band of fairies who avert the threatened punishment, causing her to reperit, was performed in a very entertaining manner by a.cast of. the. younger pupils, whose 'ability evidenced?.,-careful and conscientious preparation. Albert Vervias. in rend- ering the-i vocal solo, "Beautiful Ven- ice," showed himself to be possessed of a clear soprano voice and the humorous lecture of John Blanchard was par- ticularly clever for a speaker of his years. A- pretty feature of the program was the operetta, "Voices of the Flow- ers," in which young girls appeared in the parts of different flowers singing the songs of the blosspms in sweetly modulated voices. In delivering an oration upon the subject "Public Spirit" James E. Con- way attributed a nation's prosperity to the unselfishness of its citizens, and cited the United States as an example of the advancement which a country whose people were permeated by public spirit could reach*.- - "Armenia and f^e.Nations" as given by the ladies of ?jthe.' graduating class in appropriate costumes, showed the position of the different countries per- taining to the Arnienian persecutions, and concluded WOT t*he appearance of Columbia as the .'savior of the down- trodden people. Following a concert recitation describing a the rainbow and a series of tableaux reoresenting the foolish virgins, the tfaledictory was de- livered by Miss 't&^e Brennan after which the diplomas were awarded the graduates by Arch-Bishop Ireland. In a brief address' to the audience Arch-Bishop Irelan_! spoke of the im- portance of the early training of the young, referring io the early days of the Cathedral school, when he had been of the parish, and stating that it was yet one of his greatest pleasures to meet those who had se- cured the foundations of their educa- tion within its walls. The Arch-Bishop also spoke in high terms of the exer- cises of the evening and commended the devotion of the instructors who had dedicated their lives to the work of the church in educating its children, not only in books, but also in things pertaining to the eternal life. In con- clusion Arch-Bishop Ireland thanked the audience for Its presence and wished the graduates God speed in the new fields which they were about to enter. The graduates from the girl's school are: Mary Brennan, Mary Palmer, Rose Brennan, Mary Roche. From Cretin school: James E. Conway. Edward P. Daly, James E. Feeley, Joseph F. Hinds,.Martin, F.

ATHLETES GO TO WHOXA. Twin City Tnrnera Off tor the Torn Bezlrk. The regular Milwaukee night express which left St. Paul at 8:10 last even- ing carried a jolly party of 150 Turn- ; ers of the Twin Cities enroute to the Minnesota Turn Bezirk, which will open at Winona today. The West side Turners constitute the St. Paul contin- gent, fifty strong, while the up-river town had it numbers swelled by the presence of two societies, one from the East side and another from West Min- neapolis. Accompanying the excur- sionists was an enlivening fife and drum corps, while the presence of the I families of many of the Turners in- creased the numbers of the party to 200. Upon arriving at Winona, the vis- itors were met at the train by the 10- --1 cal reception committee and escorted to the hotel by a brass band. The state Turnverein is an annual in- stitution among the German turning societies of Minnesota, and is looked \u25a0 forward to by the members of these organizations as the occasion when the athletic prowess of the societies will j be put to a practical and thorough test before competent judges and the cap- turing of a diploma of excellence is re- i garded as a great honor. The West side turners, of this city, in the four | years it has attended the competition, has never as yet returned without one or more of the coveted diplomas, and its members fully expect to keep up their past record, if not to acquire more success than before. The main features of the programme of competitive events are the wand drills and the ladles' class club swing- ing contest. In both of these classes the St. Paul candidates are especially ! proficient, and feel confident of win- ning at least one of the events. Seven societies constitute the Minne- sota Turn Bezirk, including those of St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, Roches- ter, New Ulm and Winona, comprising in all about 400 members. The exer- cises today will be inaugurated by a grand street parade, concluding at the grounds where the games will take place. It will require five days to com- plete the trials In all of the events scheduled, which wil embrace the field of all-round athletics. The afternoon of the last day will be devoted to a business session of regu- larly elected delegates to decide upon the location of next year's meeting. NO IOLICV GOES. Jiiiiiis Heilbron t'hurfi-ed With Run- ning- a Gambling- Hoose, Julius Heilbron was arrested yester- day by Sheriff Chapel on a warrant charging him with "keeping and main- taining a gambling device and encour- aging divers and sundry persons to gamble and risk money at a game call- ed or known as policy." The complaint on which the warrant was issued was sworn to by Allen K. Clark and the order for the issuance of the warrant came from the office of the city at- torney. The defendant who has an office at 111 East Third street was ar- raigned in the police court and a con- tinuance granted until July 1. "Beilbron gave bonds in the sum of $100 for his appearance at that time. Officials in the city attorney's office say there will be a determined effort to break up this game which, accord- ing to their statements, is being work- ed to a great extent in the city. Some months ago several persons including Heilbron were arrested on a warrant charging them with conducting ' a policy game and drawings but owing to the police not being familiar with the game the prosecution failed to make out a case. The city attorney and his assistants now claim they have sufficient evidence which will' convict without the aid of the police. The fact that the sheriff was called upon to make the arrest in the case would in- dicate that the police for some reason are not to be identified with the prose- cution this time. The complaining witness is down in the directory as porter but. It is un- derstood, that he is at present engaged as a waiter at one of the lake resort hotels. It is almost unnecessary to state that Mr. Allen is a colored gen- tleman. TRADES AND LABOR ASSEMBLY. Considerable. Husincs.s Done at I.a»t .Vighl'i Meeting. Much business was transacted at the meeting of the Trades and ?Labor As- sembly last evening. A communication frcm the Anheuser Brewing association asking the assembly to rectify the re- port that their products were being boycotted was received and it was moved, seconded and carried that there is no trouble between this company and organized labor. Communications from the National Brewery Workers' union, asking the in- dorsement of the assembly in relation to certain beers under the ban of the brewery workers of the United States, was received, read and indorsed. Also one from the cigarmakers' union of Detroit, Mich., relating to certain to- baccos sold in St. Paul, requesting the assembly to give them the marble heart. The request was concurred in. The American Federation of Labor asked the assembly to indorse a new union of the musicians of St. Paul, which is being organized. The request was granted, and the prospects are that every band in the city will soon be numbered among organized labor's ranks. Louis Nash, the representative of the Trades and Labor assembly before the Chamber of Commerce, made his first report, which was received and placed on file. The chairman of the delegation to the state federation of labor, Harry Frank- lin, reported the proceedings of that body and on motion the report was adopted. Mr. Marcus, of Detroit, Mich., on be- half of the cigarmakers' union of that city, made a few remarks regarding the strike of the members of that trade, which has been carried on for fifty-five weeks, and asked the moral support of the assembly. His request was graft- ed, and in addition, on motion of Sec- retary Franklin, $10 was voted to help them in their struggle.

CLOUGH AflD TOWNE LEE MAKES PUBLIC A LITTLE HOT POLITICAL HIS- TORY ABOUT ST. LOUIS COUNTY. THE TODD COINTY MAN SAYS HE REFt.SED TO ACCEPT TERMS THAT HIS OPPONENT AGREED TO. Deal Whereby It Is Alleged the Do- lath Dele-cation Wus to «.<> te Clougrh. Hon. Wm. E. Lee was in St. Paul j ! yesterday, and a reporter for the J [Globe found him last night at ; i the Merchants' hotel. He was not in 1 the humor to talk politics, as such, but i he had something of interest to say •\u25a0 which, as he put it, the public should :, know. "Last February," said Mr. Lee, "be- i fore 1 decided to become a candidate for governor, I wrote to Mr. Towne ! and asked his opinion on the matter. | In reply I received this telegram." j I Here Mr. Lee showed the reporter a j | telegram from Congressman Towne. j ! which stated In unmistakable terms I j that the congressman favored Mr. Lee, | ! and would support him for the nomi- i ! nation. At that time Towne's support meant that Lee would get the St. Louis county delegation. "Later or. I received a letter from ; Mr. Towne," continued Mr. Lee, in which he congratulated me on the way In which my candidacy was received, and in which some other matters were suggested that I need not speak of now. It will suffice to say that Hr. Towne's partner and political mana- ger, C. L. Harris, agreed that I should j have the support of Mr. Towne and his | friends, and as a consequence I felt j sure that the St. Louis delegation would be for me. Igo into these things in detail because of an editorial pub- lished in the Pioneer Press yesterday j morning; and I desire that the exact facts shall be given to the public. "Previous to all this—last winter he- fore Mr. Towne had made up his mind that he could not stand for re-election on a gold standard platform—the con- gressional committee of the Sixth dis- trict, had arbitrarily changed the basis of representation that had been used heretofore, and in Mr. Towne's interest. There are twenty-two counties in the district. To reduce the representation by three delegates in each county would mean sixty-six votes. Of these St. Louis, Lake and Cook would lose only nine, while the other counties would los-e 57. Then the three head-of-the lake counties would only need thirty- nine votes in addition to their own to nominate a candidate. They figured that they could easily secure these votes from Mille Lacs and one or two other counties, and thus nominate whom they pleased. After this change was made the chairman, Senator F. B. Dougherty, was authorized to call the congressional convention whenever he thought proper; and since then he has set the date July 16. "Now, then, Mr. Towne's support of my candidacy was to be without qual- ification or consideration of any kind. But later on Congressman Towne found he was going to be at variance with his party and might have trouble securing a rehominatlon. This was before he bolted absolutely: and Mr. Harris wrote to me, very frankly stat- ing that Mr. Towne could not consent to forego his convictions on the mone- tary question. The proposition was made that I help, to secure the instruc- tion of delegates for Mr. Towne as a free sliver candidate. Certain influen- tial friends of mine were named, and I was asked to secure pledges from them that they would support Mr. Towne in return for the votes of the St. Louis delegation in my favor. I could not do that, and refused. On June 6. after Mr. Towne had returned home. I went to Duluth and had a conference with him and Mr. Harris. There were pres- ent William E. Richardson. A. D. Davidson and Charles Hendryx. The conference lasted two hours. I think: and at that time Mr. Towne stated that his friends had made an agreement with the friends of Gov. Clough which he could not violate without breaking faith. In return for the support of St. Louis county, the Clough men were to give Towne the requisite number of votes to assure hie renomlnation. The other gentlemen present understood Mr. Towne aa I did, that Gov. Clough had acceDted the conditions which I had refused. Within a few days the MINe Lacs county convention was held, and the delegates were instructed for Gov. Clough a gold standard man, and Congressman Towne a free sliver man. Since then, of course' *J" w we5 c has bolted the Republican party' and the deal is off." Mr. Lee has all the documents to back his statements, and the reporter for the G1 ob c was allowed to see such portions of the letters as could not be considered private, although none cf them were marked confidential. Asked as to his optnlon of the gubernatorial flght. Mr. Lee expressed the opinion that It is not yet settled. He believes all of the can- didates will remain in to the finish, and LJ « aIIy ,h« that if Ramsey and Hennepin declare against the governor the result may be entirely different from what some people expect. Of the congressional situation in his county ? n r'^ wou'd on'y say that Congressman ! Xhn tin k C ean .* f cholar>y and able man, j who will be hard to beat. « "Mri.i**' you are be,n * fre<,'y talked of as a fitting opponent for him if you fail to secure the gubernatorial nomination," said the reporter. r^&Ti l.f m not a fandidate. and I do not think the convention could force *"-» to I run. Falling in the flght for the nomination 1 sought, it would not look very well to run for another office. No, sir; I will not be a candidate. HAS A BROTHER HERE. W. M. Ronald.

POP COXVEXTIOX TODAY. Delegate* Selected to Represent Eight of the W_r_- At 2 o'clock today, at Market hall, a dele- gate convention of tbe People's Party of Ramsey county will be held to elect 79 dele- gates to represent the county in the con- gressional district convention which assem- bles at Lindstrom. June 30th. for the pur- pose of electing six delegates and six alter- nates to the national convention of the Peo- ples' Party which convenes In St. LouU July 22: also for the purpose of placing in nomi- nation a candidate for congress in the Fourth congressional district of Minnesota. Very few voters participated in the primar- ies yesterday. As one hot Populist asked. "How could they?'' The county committee had called the primaries from j to 6 o'clock— a time when the members of the party could not get to the voting places. It is surmised by those outside of the county committee that this was done for the pur- pose of shutting out everybody but those men whom the committee desires to have in the convention. Returns from the primaries were received by the county central committee at 23t> East Seventh street, but at 10:30 P. M. three wards had not reported at all and In no in- stance was the full delegation received from the remaining wards and the committee con- cluded to postpone matters until today. Therefore a 1 o'clock this afternoon the com- mittee will receive the names of the dele- gates at con\ention hall. The complete list In the hands of the committee at the time of adjournment last night was as follows; Third Ward—C. H. Stratton. I>. Barnard, J. C. Hanley. Ben Davis, P. J. Hogan, J. D. Laf'hance.

A party of Chinese, a dozen in all, arrived at the union depot la^t night over what the Northern Pacific boys call "No. 2." They came direct from Hong Kong, from which port they sailed May 2, and were ticketed through to Chicago from that point. All of the party had been In this coun- try before, so that they had no difficulty with the customs officers on landing. One of them, perhaps all, understood English fairly well, but they were so tired with their long ride from tho coast that but one showed any inclina- tion to answer questions. They were as neat looking as Chinese usually are. Their sandals were white and there was no wash day air about the ar- rangement of the hair. Every bleswed one of them was smoklnp a cigarette, and the air of the smoking car on the Chicago Great Western road, which they occupied was almost unbearable. A little man with a short black pipe, said he'd be blanked if he would ride with the heathens. 'Twas bad enough that they were Chirfese, but the cigar- ette smoking but added to their un- deslrability as traveling companions in his estimation. But when the train started and a brakeman ordered tho pipe smoker inside the car he went in and took a seat without protest. KEEP OIT OF SALOONS. .Mayor Doran'i Lateatt Order to the Loral Police.

She was brought hack to the noise and whirl of East Seventh street by the combined efforts of Dr. Appleby and a stomach pump. Early yestirday morning tho same physician was palled to the bedside of Miss Lynch, as the young woman had taken another dose with tha In- tention of shuffling off this mortal coll. Again the doctor was successful 'n restoring the woman to consciousness, and yesterday she was pronounced out of danger. Friday With the Spiritualists. Yesterday was a beautiful 4ay at the North- western Suirituallsts' camp at Hamline. and it was much more enjoyable that the two days previous. The Children's lyceum was called to order In the forenoon by Mrs. I_« F. Prior, who has shown herself unusually adapted to the organization and leadership of children. Later the conference resumed the discussion of "Development of Medlumship," Prof. Barrett leading. In the afternoon he spoke on the practical application of spirit- ualism, a large audience listening attentively to his lecture. Mrs. Isa Wilson Kayner, daugh- ter of E. V. Wilson, gave platform tests. To- day the Children's lyceum meets at 9 o'clock; the regular dally conference at 10:30, and at 2:30 Mrs. Julia Steelman Mitchell, of Ken- tucky, will give an 'nspirational lecture, fol- lowed by platform teste.

The millinery stores replied almost unanimously, but unless all of them respond favorably the merchants will not be asked to close, but to allow such of the clerks to at- tend as wish to do so. Many of the merchants have already signified their Intention of "letting their clerks off who deside to attend. A. F.

THE PITY OF IT.One who studies the political plat-

forms and watches the political move-

ments of the current year 1b most ofall impressed with the lamentablefolly of throwing away one of thegreatest opportunities to serve thecountry and to exalt the Democraticparty that has ever been presented.

As a matter of fact, when the Republi-cans named McKinley at St. Louis theyopened the way to a comparativelyeasy defeat. With almost any otherof the candidates before that conven-tion as their nominee the advantage

which they had' exhibited in popular ,elections within the last few yearsmight be expected to carry them intopower. With McKinley as the candi-date it is possible, we are not yet will-ing to say it "was" possible, for theDemocrats to win an easy victory. TheRepublican party, as a whole, asidefrom the shouters who prevail in con-

ventions and fill street parades, neitheradmire nor trust this man of one idea.They believe him to be honest, but theyshrewdly estimate him as the smallestbit of timber ever proposed to be put

Into the presidential niche. His utter-ly wrong-headed position on the finan-cial question for the last twenty years,his timorous and disgraceful silence ata time when the whole nation demand-ed that he should speak, his extremeideas on the tariff that make certainanother disturbance of business and apractical prohibition of imports, andthe known fact that he is a man with-out breadth of opinion or any

opinion whatever on current questions

outside of the tariff, all of these make

him conspicuously unfit for the great

place fpr.,. which he has been nomi-nated. We say advisedly that of theIndependent vote, which is a control-ling factor in perhaps a dozen statesin the Union today, Mr. McKinley <

could not poll 1 per cent.

Nor is this all. By making McKinleyIts standard bearer, by rallying to hisnomination and support the mightycorporate interests cf this country, bypurchasing a nomination and planningto purchase an election with funds thatare to be paid back by the people inthe shape of additional taxation, theRepublican party has challenged themoral sense of the nation. It is a timewhen the people are ready to riseagainst the undue dominence of suchinfluences as these in our politics. Itis a time when the people are deeplystirred against the dominence of power-ful interests in our public and businesslife, and are eager to resist. It is atime when the encroachments of gov-ernment everywhere, through legisla-tion, national and state, upon theliberty of the individual have becomeconstant and dangerous. It is a timeof rampant paternalism. It Is a timewhen lovers cf liberty and those towhom the future of this republic isdear turn naturally to the Democraticpjf-ty as their hope ofrelief, and theirdefender from the corrupt and cor-rupting forces that are at work toundermine the nation. No greater op-

portunity, no more glorious missionwas ever set before any party sincethe downfall of negro slavery. Andwhat do we find? As an answer to thegreat need of the nation, to the clam-orous cry of the individual for libertyand justice and equality before thelaw, we have, a few men, whose sin-cerity is more than matched by theirnarrowness, proposing to thrust allthese great moral issues into thebackground, and-4o substitute for themone which is not only, as we believe,repugnant to the moral sense of the*country itself, but which is absolutelycertain to disrupt Democratic solidity,to divide the Democratic strength and

to repel, to a man, the independentvote.

This is the sacrifice to be made to

a chimera. We can scarcely considerthe wrong of it, because we are. over-

whelmed by the pity of it. Think ofwhat the Democratic party might dofor the struggling, depressed, unhappy-masses of this people. Think of whatthe Democratic party itself might be-come as the savior of true democracy

and the restorer of the primitive sim-

plicity of the republic. Think of thegreat rallying to it of the people whosehearts beat as strong and true as ever

for liberty. Think of its own sure

destiny as a guide and protector of thepeople for a generation to come. Then

consider the proposition to set all theseneeds to one side; to throw to thewinds this splendid opening; to repelat the point of the bayonet and forceover to the enemy the great independentarmy of the honest money vote; to split

the Democratic party itself down themiddle; and to say to the people thatevery other duty should be forsworn,

and every other issue neglected untilwe have, by legislation, enacted thatfour times one shall equal two. Thepity of it for the nation! The pity of itfor the Democracy! Is there not patrio-

tism and strength enough remaining

in the party to avoid this blunder,which is more than a crime?

A LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE.

For the second time within a weekthe people of Minnesota have beenshocked by the commission of unpro-

voked and bloody crime within theirboundaries, and again obedience to

law and order has triumphed over thenatural human instinct to seek imme-diate reprisals. The McLeod county

murder was a peculiarly atrocious af-

fair. The victim was an officer in thedischarge of his duty, and the offencefor which he sought to arrest the crim-inals was not one whese consequences

would drive the most desperate of men

to take life in an effort to escape. Itwas. moreover, peculiarly stupid andvicious in that it made the apprehen-

sion of the guilty men absolutely cer-tain, and only changed the charge

against them from a comparatively tri-fling one to another that will undoubt-edly make their worthless lives forfeitto the state. Itis such offenses as this,not committed in the heat of passion,or under any provocation, or even inself-preservation that strain the tem-

per and try the patience of any com-munity.

There was reason to believe that thepeople of Glencoe and the vicinity hadbeen too severely wrought upon by thisterrible crime to be entirely capable ofthat degree of self-restraint whichwould permit them to turn over thesewretches to the punishment of the law.We cannot blame them; for with ref-erence both to this crime and to thatat Wyoming the commonly expressedhope everywhere was that the mur-derers might be shot on sight. Butwe are deeply gratified that action on

the part of those charged with the ex-

ecution of the laws, those whose dutyit is to repress passion and protect

even the guiltyuntil the law shall takettsr. course, was so prompt and well-clibsen that all possibility of populartumult was avoided. The dispatch ofa company of state militia to the scene,and the transfer of the prisoners to

the county jail in St. Paul has oncemore guarded the laws of the statefrom infraction and the honor of thestate from being sullied, at a timewhen the feelings and passions of menare stirred to their depths. Thus farall has been well. Now the earnest-ness and swiftness of action to pre-vent a breach of the law in order totake vengeance on the guilty shouldgive place to equal decision in enforc-ing the laws against them. The pen-alty in its most awful form cannotbe visited too quickly upon these red-handed ruffians who have chosen Min-nesota as the scene for their finalcrimes. The gallows waits for them,and it should not be disappointed.

mA MIXTURE OF SENSE AND NON-

SENSE.Gov. Altgeld made a speech to the

delegates, and galleries, in the IllinoisDemocratic convention, which,—ignor-ing the money plank the governor hadprepared far and had adopted by theCook county convention, in which freecoinage was demanded at a ratio notnamed, —adopted a straight sixteer.-to-one plank. The governor felt calledupon to excuse this action of the stateconvention. "Bitter experience," hesaid, "has taught the people that theirinterests are always in danger in Wash-ington" and that, "ifwe succeed in thiscampaign the victory may be thrownaway there," consequently it is feltto be necessary to "leave no room forquibbling." The governor is amplyjustified in this statement by the treat-ment the Democratic party re-ceived when its victory at thepolls on the tariff was converted intoa victory for the protectionists atWashington.

But because of this experience in thetariff Gov. Altgeld thinks it the bestthing to declare for free coinage at16 to 1 flat, which is "nothing new, butonly a return to the old." "It beingnecessary to make a specific declara*tion in order that we may not lose thefruits of victory in case we win, andno man having suggested anythingbetter, the one thing for us to do isto declare for that historic ratio underwhich. we prospered and which is Inharmony with our whole financial sys-tem." That the governor it not self-deceived, that he does not believe thatcongress or parliaments can create aratio nor do anything but adopt thecommercial ratio, is evident from whathe said prior to his attempt to justiflya declaration which involves the pro-position that congress can make anyratio it seas fit to. "We are at onceconfronted with the question* ofratio,"he said. "Theoretically the bimetallicsystem does not depend on any partic-

ular ratio, and if this question couldbe considered by congress ori Its mer-its alone, and free from outside pres-sure, it is probable that the question, ofratio v/riuld not be discussed at all "bythe public/ r;-^ *£$&. \u25a0.

Here then we have tne admission ofone of the leaders in this movement

to establish the absurd proposition thatcongress can create values, admitting

that it cannot, but insisting that Hshould be demanded because "no manhas suggested anything better," andbecause congress will not do any-

thing unless it be commanded .to dowhat it cannot do. Starting with theDemocratic statement of ratios andthe relation of government to them,

Gov. Altgeld strides over into the Re-publican-Populist-Socialist camp andaccepts their theories of government

and finance. How does Gov. Altgeld

knew that it would be impossible fora congress in Washington to deal withthe question of ratio "theoretically?"At what time since this agitation began

nineteen years ago has it ever beenasked to so consider it? Did the menwho backed Bland in 1878 do it? Didthey propose any examination of thecommercial ratio with a view to the adijustment of the legal ratio to it? Hasany such proposition ever been madesince? Saving the propositions to voteon different ratios in the Fifty-third

congress,-has there ever been anything

else but a strenuous demand for six-teen to one?

Why, holding the same views he

expresses, did not the governor himselfsuggest "something better?" When heand his henchman, Hinrichsen, a yearago began the conversion of IllinoisDemocracy from the ar.clent faith, why

did he not then "suggest somethingbetter*" than 16 to 1? Why now com-

pel Democrats to choose between thesurrender of their convictions, theabandonment of principles of govern-ment that are the very heart and soulof Democracy, and a refusal to havepart or lot in the heglra? There aremen in plenty who are not as complai-sant as is the governor of Illinois when:principles and deep convictions are atstake, men who would gladly see con-

gress "considering the question on its

merits" as Jefferson did, but whowill not be carried into Republicanprotectionism and Populistic socialismbecause some others affect a belief thatcongress cannot be trusted to "dealwith the question on its merits."

YALE*S CHANCES.

Situation Slued Up by the EngliahSporting Press.

LONDON, June 27.—The Daily Gaphic has acolumn article this morning on the Yale oars-men, in which it says: "The Yale stroke islong in comparison with Cornell's, but it isstill short In accordance with English ideas.That is chiefly to blame Is that It is short atthe beginning."

It further says regarding the advisability oflengthening the stroke: "The men are notlikely to pick up a new style in two or threeweeks. The abandonment of the Cook strokewould deprive both the Americans and theEnglish of the opportunity of watching an in-teresting experiment. The Yale men aresplendid and are especially neat, and theirbest feature is that they slide well and evenly.In neatness they might give a lesson to manyEnglish crews. But neatness is not every-thing. Itmust be remembered that the sever-est of Cornell's critics could not find fault inthis respect. Perhaps the most striking andpleasing feature is the uniformity of theirswing."

This article concludes as follows: "AlthoughIt is probable that their style would be fatalto them on the university course from Putneyto Mortlake, yet with their undoubted strengthand go, and the improvement they are makingthey may yet prove to be formidable compet-itors at Henley. When they get to work thereappears to be plenty of weight and musclebehind the stroke, with a strong leg drive,and they finish neatly with a clean recovery!In view of the strong side wind and no one topush them, it may be said that their timehas been beaten pretty often, but not in thefinals for the grand challenge cup in the lastfour years."

The Field, the well-known sporting au-thority, says of the Yale men this morning:"Since our last notice the Yale crew hasmade a marvelous change in Its stroks. In-stead of a short, snatchy stroke, they keepa fair length, and are much steadier forwardand get their shoulders well back with a cer-tain amount of body swing. That the crewshould be instructed to so change its styleIs the greatest compliment to English oars-men. In a couple of trials over the halfcourse Wednesday, the Yale men showed aslight tendency to relapse into the old style.It Is doubtful whether at present they arebetter. If quite as good, as they were lastSaturday. But that they will be most for-midable opponents is certain, though whetherthe many changes already made and contem-plated are altogether wise with the short timebefore the regatta Is somewhat doubtful.

"Dr. McDowell is the type of amateur whois welcome here. His style of work does notcoincide with our ideas, but he is convincedthat more pace can be obtained that way,with less physical exertion and strain on thelungs, than in any other. He certainly haspace. His boat is always traveling, and hisstroke is nowise so short as might be ex-pected from the style. The crews for thegrand challenge cup are generally better thanwas expected."

HOLD INTERESTING GRADUATINGEXERCISES AT THE GRAND

OPERA HOUSE.

- ' ?

ROLL OF HONOR IS A LONG ONE.

Arehbtabop Ireland Ad_resne_ tbeGraduates and Tbeir Friends

Happily and Seriously.

The graduating exercises of the classof "9«" cf the Cathedral schools at theGrand opera house last evening filledthe theater with one of the largestaudiences which had ever passed jthrough its doors. When the time ar- jrived for ringing up the curtain forthe last act in the school life of thegraduates, every seat was occupied jand the auditorium presented a sceneof animated anticipation on the partof friends present, which was enhancedfrom an artistic standpoint by thepretty summer costumes of the ladiesand the abundant display of flowers.Though of some length, the pro-gramme attested its merit by the in-terest manifested throughout by theassembled company, and the entirelack of friction with which one num-ber followed the other to a happy con-clusion.

As the curtain rose the Cretin schoolchorus, consisting of the entire enroll-ment, greeted the audience with a songof welcome which called forth theheartiest applause. As the last wordsof the song died away Miss MaryBrennan, a member of the graduatingclass, stepped forward and added thegreeting of the class of 96 to that ofthe general student body. Preceedingan oration on "The Bright Side ofWar" by John J. Feckey, the vocalclass sang a pretty chorus entitled"Summer Fancies." Mr. Feckey's

theme dealt with the necessity of warin the process of nation-building, and,as developed by the young orator,showed the progress which civilizationhad made as a result of history's greatstruggles.

The little ones were next afforded anopportunity of displaying their pre-coslty in a pantomime and readingunder the title of "Bo Peep's Party,"which greatly amused the audience by

the introduction of Mother Goose char-acters in which the diminutive Thes-pians evinced an earnest desire toplease, which was generously applaud-ed. Miss Mary Palmer added to thepleasure of the occasion by reciting

"The Ant and the Cricket," a tale witha moral, pointing out the discredit intowhich individuals often fall by a tooconstant "singing."

After "The Play House" song, bya chorus of twenty-four daintily clothedchildren, James L. Ryan rendered anegro dialect story in a manner whichgreatly pleased the audience. A largebouquet of roses was tendered Mr.Ryan at his conclusion.

"Dottle's Dream," a drama in one act,portraying the trials of early schoollife, in which a stubborn little miss re-fuses to learn her lessons and in adream is visited by a band of fairieswho avert the threatened punishment,causing her to reperit, was performedin a very entertaining manner by a.castof. the. younger pupils, whose 'abilityevidenced?.,-careful and conscientiouspreparation. Albert Vervias. in rend-ering the-i vocal solo, "Beautiful Ven-ice," showed himself to be possessed ofa clear soprano voice and the humorouslecture of John Blanchard was par-ticularly clever for a speaker of hisyears.

A- pretty feature of the programwas the operetta, "Voices of the Flow-ers," in which young girls appeared inthe parts of different flowers singingthe songs of the blosspms in sweetly

modulated voices.In delivering an oration upon the

subject "Public Spirit" James E. Con-way attributed a nation's prosperity

to the unselfishness of its citizens, andcited the United States as an exampleof the advancement which a countrywhose people were permeated by publicspirit could reach*.- -

"Armenia and f^e.Nations" as givenby the ladies of ?jthe.' graduating classin appropriate costumes, showed theposition of the different countries per-taining to the Arnienian persecutions,and concluded WOT t*he appearance ofColumbia as the .'savior of the down-trodden people. Following a concertrecitation describing a the rainbow anda series of tableaux reoresenting thefoolish virgins, the tfaledictory was de-livered by Miss 't&^e Brennan afterwhich the diplomas were awarded thegraduates by Arch-Bishop Ireland.

In a brief address' to the audienceArch-Bishop Irelan_! spoke of the im-portance of the early training of theyoung, referring io the early days ofthe Cathedral school, when he hadbeen of the parish, and stating

that it was yet one of his greatestpleasures to meet those who had se-cured the foundations of their educa-tion within its walls. The Arch-Bishopalso spoke in high terms of the exer-cises of the evening and commendedthe devotion of the instructors whohad dedicated their lives to the workof the church in educating its children,not only in books, but also in thingspertaining to the eternal life. In con-clusion Arch-Bishop Ireland thankedthe audience for Its presence andwished the graduates God speed in thenew fields which they were about toenter.

ATHLETES GO TO WHOXA.

Twin City Tnrnera Off tor the TornBezlrk.

The regular Milwaukee night expresswhich left St. Paul at 8:10 last even-ing carried a jolly party of 150 Turn-

; ers of the Twin Cities enroute to theMinnesota Turn Bezirk, which willopen at Winona today. The West sideTurners constitute the St. Paul contin-gent, fifty strong, while the up-rivertown had it numbers swelled by thepresence of two societies, one from theEast side and another from West Min-neapolis. Accompanying the excur-sionists was an enlivening fife anddrum corps, while the presence of the

I families of many of the Turners in-creased the numbers of the party to200. Upon arriving at Winona, the vis-itors were met at the train by the 10-

--1 cal reception committee and escorted tothe hotel by a brass band.

The state Turnverein is an annual in-stitution among the German turningsocieties of Minnesota, and is looked

\u25a0 forward to by the members of theseorganizations as the occasion when theathletic prowess of the societies will

j be put to a practical and thorough testbefore competent judges and the cap-turing of a diploma of excellence is re-

i garded as a great honor. The Westside turners, of this city, in the four

| years it has attended the competition,has never as yet returned without oneor more of the coveted diplomas, andits members fully expect to keep uptheir past record, if not to acquiremore success than before.

The main features of the programmeof competitive events are the wanddrills and the ladles' class club swing-ing contest. In both of these classesthe St. Paul candidates are especially

! proficient, and feel confident of win-ning at least one of the events.

Seven societies constitute the Minne-sota Turn Bezirk, including those ofSt. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, Roches-ter, New Ulm and Winona, comprisingin all about 400 members. The exer-cises today will be inaugurated by agrand street parade, concluding at thegrounds where the games will takeplace. It will require five days to com-plete the trials In all of the eventsscheduled, which wil embrace the fieldof all-round athletics.

The afternoon of the last day will bedevoted to a business session of regu-larly elected delegates to decide uponthe location of next year's meeting.

NO IOLICV GOES.

Jiiiiiis Heilbron t'hurfi-ed With Run-ning- a Gambling- Hoose,

Julius Heilbron was arrested yester-day by Sheriff Chapel on a warrantcharging him with "keeping and main-taining a gambling device and encour-aging divers and sundry persons togamble and risk money at a game call-ed or known as policy." The complaint

on which the warrant was issued wassworn to by Allen K. Clark and theorder for the issuance of the warrantcame from the office of the city at-torney. The defendant who has anoffice at 111 East Third street was ar-raigned in the police court and a con-tinuance granted until July 1. "Beilbrongave bonds in the sum of $100 for hisappearance at that time.

Officials in the city attorney's officesay there will be a determined effortto break up this game which, accord-ing to their statements, is being work-ed to a great extent in the city. Somemonths ago several persons including

Heilbron were arrested on a warrantcharging them with conducting ' apolicy game and drawings but owingto the police not being familiar withthe game the prosecution failed tomake out a case. The city attorney

and his assistants now claim they havesufficient evidence which will' convictwithout the aid of the police. The factthat the sheriff was called upon tomake the arrest in the case would in-dicate that the police for some reasonare not to be identified with the prose-cution this time.

The complaining witness is down inthe directory as porter but. It is un-derstood, that he is at present engagedas a waiter at one of the lake resorthotels. It is almost unnecessary tostate that Mr. Allen is a colored gen-tleman.

CLOUGH AflD TOWNELEE MAKES PUBLIC A LITTLE

HOT POLITICAL HIS-TORY

ABOUT ST. LOUIS COUNTY.

THE TODD COINTY MAN SAYS HEREFt.SED TO ACCEPT

TERMS

THAT HIS OPPONENT AGREED TO.

Deal Whereby It Is Alleged the Do-lath Dele-cation Wus to «.<>

te Clougrh.

Hon. Wm. E. Lee was in St. Paul j! yesterday, and a reporter for the J[Globe found him last night at ;i the Merchants' hotel. He was not in1 the humor to talk politics, as such, buti he had something of interest to say

•\u25a0 which, as he put it, the public should:, know.

"Last February," said Mr. Lee, "be-i fore 1 decided to become a candidatefor governor, I wrote to Mr. Towne

! and asked his opinion on the matter.| In reply I received this telegram." jI Here Mr. Lee showed the reporter a j| telegram from Congressman Towne. j! which stated In unmistakable terms Ij that the congressman favored Mr. Lee, |

! and would support him for the nomi- i! nation. At that time Towne's supportmeant that Lee would get the St. Louiscounty delegation.

"Later or. I received a letter from; Mr. Towne," continued Mr. Lee, inwhich he congratulated me on the wayIn which my candidacy was received,and in which some other matters weresuggested that I need not speak ofnow. It will suffice to say that Hr.Towne's partner and political mana-ger, C. L. Harris, agreed that I should

j have the support of Mr. Towne and his| friends, and as a consequence I feltj sure that the St. Louis delegationwould be for me. Igo into these thingsin detail because of an editorial pub-lished in the Pioneer Press yesterday jmorning; and I desire that the exactfacts shall be given to the public.

"Previous to all this—last winter he-fore Mr. Towne had made up his mindthat he could not stand for re-electionon a gold standard platform—the con-gressional committee of the Sixth dis-trict, had arbitrarily changed the basisof representation that had been usedheretofore, and in Mr. Towne's interest.There are twenty-two counties in thedistrict. To reduce the representationby three delegates in each county wouldmean sixty-six votes. Of these St.Louis, Lake and Cook would lose onlynine, while the other counties wouldlos-e 57. Then the three head-of-thelake counties would only need thirty-nine votes in addition to their own tonominate a candidate. They figuredthat they could easily secure thesevotes from Mille Lacs and one or twoother counties, and thus nominatewhom they pleased. After this changewas made the chairman, Senator F.B. Dougherty, was authorized to callthe congressional convention wheneverhe thought proper; and since then hehas set the date July 16.

"Now, then, Mr. Towne's support ofmy candidacy was to be without qual-ification or consideration of any kind.But later on Congressman Townefound he was going to be at variancewith his party and might have troublesecuring a rehominatlon. This wasbefore he bolted absolutely: and Mr.Harris wrote to me, very frankly stat-ing that Mr. Towne could not consentto forego his convictions on the mone-tary question. The proposition wasmade that I help, to secure the instruc-tion of delegates for Mr. Towne as afree sliver candidate. Certain influen-tial friends of mine were named, and Iwas asked to secure pledges from themthat they would support Mr. Towne inreturn for the votes of the St. Louisdelegation in my favor. I could not dothat, and refused.

On June 6. after Mr. Towne had returnedhome. I went to Duluth and had a conferencewith him and Mr. Harris. There were pres-ent William E. Richardson. A. D. Davidsonand Charles Hendryx. The conference lastedtwo hours. I think: and at that time Mr.Towne stated that his friends had made anagreement with the friends of Gov. Cloughwhich he could not violate without breakingfaith. In return for the support of St. Louiscounty, the Clough men were to give Townethe requisite number of votes to assure hierenomlnation. The other gentlemen presentunderstood Mr. Towne aa I did, that Gov.Clough had acceDted the conditions which Ihad refused. Within a few days the MINeLacs county convention was held, and thedelegates were instructed for Gov. Clough agold standard man, and Congressman Townea free sliver man. Since then, of course'*J"w we5c has bolted the Republican party'and the deal is off."

Mr. Lee has all the documents to back hisstatements, and the reporter for the G1 ob cwas allowed to see such portions of the lettersas could not be considered private, althoughnone cf them were marked confidential.Asked as to his optnlon of the gubernatorialflght. Mr. Lee expressed the opinion that It isnot yet settled. He believes all of the can-didates will remain in to the finish, andLJ « aIIy ,h« that if Ramseyand Hennepin declare against the governorthe result may be entirely different fromwhat some people expect.

Of the congressional situation in his county? nr'^ wou'd on'y say that Congressman !Xhn tin k

C ean.* fcholar>y and able man, jwho will be hard to beat.

« "Mri.i**'you are be,n * fre<,'y talked ofas a fitting opponent for him if you fail tosecure the gubernatorial nomination," saidthe reporter.

r^&Ti l.fm not a fandidate. and I donot think the convention could force *"-» to Irun. Falling in the flght for the nomination1 sought, it would not look very well to runfor another office. No, sir; I will not be acandidate.

Very few voters participated in the primar-ies yesterday. As one hot Populist asked."How could they?'' The county committeehad called the primaries from j to 6 o'clock—a time when the members of the partycould not get to the voting places. It issurmised by those outside of the county

committee that this was done for the pur-pose of shutting out everybody but thosemen whom the committee desires to have inthe convention.

Returns from the primaries were receivedby the county central committee at 23t> EastSeventh street, but at 10:30 P.

Tln-uui-li St. Paul.

A party of Chinese, a dozen in all,arrived at the union depot la^t nightover what the Northern Pacific boyscall "No. 2." They came direct fromHong Kong, from which port theysailed May 2, and were ticketedthrough to Chicago from that point.All of the party had been In this coun-try before, so that they had no difficultywith the customs officers on landing.One of them, perhaps all, understoodEnglish fairly well, but they were sotired with their long ride from thocoast that but one showed any inclina-tion to answer questions. They wereas neat looking as Chinese usually are.Their sandals were white and therewas no wash day air about the ar-rangement of the hair. Every bleswedone of them was smoklnp a cigarette,and the air of the smoking car on theChicago Great Western road, whichthey occupied was almost unbearable.A little man with a short black pipe,said he'd be blanked if he would ridewith the heathens. 'Twas bad enoughthat they were Chirfese, but the cigar-ette smoking but added to their un-deslrability as traveling companions inhis estimation. But when the trainstarted and a brakeman ordered thopipe smoker inside the car he went inand took a seat without protest.
