f His integrity is above suspicion. lie i.
an original thinker, a ready writer, defends
his opinions ably; and in few words, say!
as much in two words, as Andrews docs in
half hour speech. He will never take
up the time of Senate with lengthy speech
to exhibit himself but he will work, and
vote and say all that is necessary to the
speedy and correct dispatch af business.
His is a case Of Office seeking the man
OF the people choosing one Of their number
working business man, instead of polit-
ical trickster.
blr. ToLLMAN We never heard Of until
after he was nominated, have cnquired dill
igently ever since aud can find no one who
ever saw him. So, there may be such a
person for aught We know.
U. S. WILEY lisa gentlemanly lawyer,
and STAKEHOLDER in practice and principle,
holds slave, here on the free soil of Min
nesota, and is in such health that we doubt
if he would live to fill the place even if
elected.
Mr.. SWEET Is scheming, cunning law
yer, professional politician kind of
half Republican half Democrat. Voted
the Republican ticket last fall, and goes
in for the side he thinks will give him an
office. Baron Wisebergcr says he is a
scoundrel, but We do not know anything
about that. He is an old Land Officer,
a politician by trade, and refused to sign
a petition for the postponemcnt of the
Land Sales in the Sank Rapids District
four years ago or to have anything to do
with it. BY these sales the lands in that
district have fallen by thousands of acres
into the hands Of spectators.
Mr. Mayhem heads the Republican Rep
resentative ticket. lie is a practical, sue
cessful farmer Of unquestioned integrity.
A man of superior mental ability an able
public speaker who has made some of the
Moccasin big guns look sheepish in public
meetings more than once.
0. S. Freeman is farmer and farms
we'll, intelligent, entcrprising, honest and
and faithful in the discharge of duty, en-
joys the confidence and respect of large
circle Of friends and is fully qualified for
the duties of the Office for which he is a
candidate.
And, mercy-mercy-me Here We
are on asnag, run aground-sitting on a
sand bar, twenty feet under water-i!ere,
we undertake to defend ticket; and come
to look over it there not a lawyer on the
listl Haven't we put our "foot in it,
Not one gentlemen, not one lawyer. Not
one politician by trade in the whole lot
We are going to back right square OUT.
If such things are to be tolerated, We will
soon have working men setting up to gov
ern themselves. Whitcomb farmer too,
an honest, intelligent well-educated shrewd
farmer-A man who plows and digs pota-
toes and makes fence; and reads the papers,
talks in the evening. Knows what is
going on in the world; and can talk like a
Nor Westcrner-Three farmers; and a
hard working merchant, who has spent the
greater part Of his life on a farm; setting
themselves up, or letting other people set
them up against three white fingered law
yers, who never did anything bnt hunt an
Office; and Mr.. Tollman who has come for
his toll out Of the public grist!! It will
never do We tell you, Fellow Citizens, We
tell you it wont do
The upper classes of society must b,
kept @p;' and as they hav'nt any legs Of
their own to stand on, folks who have
must get under them. and hold them up
You know, Fellow citizens, that Southern
Democrats say we must have "msud siZs'
in society. That is the working classes O.
the North must be like the slaves Of th.
South. " ell, Southern Democrats never
send their mud sills to Lesislaturs-neith-
or do Northern Democrats. Catch tn,
Democratic party electing working mar
to any important Office They know bet
ter. Their southern brethren, who mus
have servants to wait on them would read
them out of the party if they did, A fel-
