LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS.

LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS.
The Anti-Monopolists all over the
State seem to feel the full Importance
of the crisis now upon them, and they
are selecting their very best men for the
Legislative nominations.
IN oLMsTED COUNTY,
in the Ninth District, they have nomi-
mated O. H. Page, of Pleasant Grove,
for Senator. An excellent choice. Mr..
Page is farmer, well-read man, and
an original thinker. He has been one
of the leaders of the Grange movement
in this State. We need him in the Sem
ate. The district will honor itself by
electing him. We hope the Anti-Mo-
nopolists will turn a deaf ear to the lies
Of his opponents, and send him to the
Senate by a large majority.
In the same District the Anti-Monop-
olis:s have re-nominated Hon. John
Hyslop of Marion for the House. He
is aitrue and faithful public servant,
and made an excellent record last win
ter. He will be returned by large
majority. They have also nominated
U. II. Carpenter of Dover. We are not
so we'll acquainted with him, but he
bears an excellent reputation, and will
run we'll.
In RICE County our friends have
made an exceptionally strong ticket, to-
wit John A. Mather of Mortified,
leading farmer and Granger; Hon. Hen.
ry B. Martin, who served so acceptably
to his constituents last year; Hon.
Lafayette Emmett, formerly of the Su-
preme Bench, one Of the leading law
yers of Minnesota, and heartily in
sympathy with popular rights; Joseph
Goar of Morristown, leading Granger
and farmer and student of politics,
whose letters upon finance have so
pleased the readers of the ANTI
MoNoPoL1sr and Timothy O'Grady
of Forest, the active brains
Of the Grange movement in his section.
All the elements of opposition are
united and the whole ticket should be
elected by five hundred majority at
least. correspondent writes US:
"All the proceedings went off in harmo-
NOUS and spirited manner, and Rice county
will send strong Autobiography delega-
ton to st. Paul next winter. The President
of the Convention, +. A. Noble, said that he
had lived in Rice county for seventeen years,
and had attended great many conventions,
but he never saw one where they all felt so
confident of success as in the present one. "
In NIcoLLEr COUNTY, and the 34th
Senatorial District, they have renomi-
mated that true man and faithful legis.
lator, Hon. P. II. McDermid. He has
lived in the State over twenty years
and has earned for himself an excellent
reputation. He should be triumphant.

ing to induce Hon. Frank Baasen, OF
New Ulm, to run. But we are conf.
dant Mr.. Baasan will not play into the
hands of our enemies in that way. He
has State reputation to maintain, and
is in the line of promotion. His candi.
dacy would only ensure the triumph O.
the Republican party.
In SrEARNs COUNTY the Anti Monopo
lists have nominated Mr.. Casper, O
Sank Centre, for the Senate, and Hon
n. F. Barnes, Of st. Cloud, for tn.
House. Mr.. Casper is a merchant, vel

though we differed from its conclusions

cannot ignore such a man. Abilit,
must come to the top in the New Move
ment. We hope every Anti-Monopolis
!, will give him his support.
We would say to our friends every
where: Minnesota expects every ma
to do his duty.
