hat those organizations were not made

who must form their estimate Of bio
character and views, from the rep-
reservations Of others, we shall
state frankly and without gloss, what
we know Of him. He il thirty.six
years old, = lawyer, and stands At
the head Of his profession. As pri-
vats citizen, he is above reproach, and
~ . public officer. be has been both
faithful and efhci<ut,-h.ving served
one term in the Legislature, and about
5 years as U. s. Dist Attorney. He is 4
representative Of the working stoct,
aud, therefore, regards aristoc.aey ~
the natural enemy Of the lsboriog mass
Is, and aggregated capital a. IN engine
Of oppression, used by corporations to
subjugate tho creative energy Of work
to their own power and purposes. He
relieves that government il an iuetita-
zion of tho people that law is the L.
gal embodiment Of the public will ;
and that ,ts fearless aud honest appli-
sation to all the affairs Of state, il the
only true function Of tho executive Of
fee.
He entertains the idea that tho pso-
pie are sovereign-that industry i tho
chief source Of legitimate vsalth-that
chartered privilege is an innovation
upon private rights, to be tolerated on.
" for specific public advantage, and
that there is perpetual power residing
in the citizens Of State, for their own
defense, to revise the acts Of their rep
resentatives, or to ignore them a.
together, and for this purpose, if
the ordinary channels Of government
have become 70 clogged With corruption
- to obstruct the flow Of justice, they
may resort to revolution.
We have thus option ised the views
Of Mr.. Davis upon all questions now
before tho people for discussion, and we
believe that they arc in harmony with
the sentiments entertained by . large
majority ofthe voting population Of the
State, and that he will, therefore, be
elected Governor BY larger minority
than has ever before been given to any
candidate in Minnesota.
