Ma. EDI7Ns While the people are
striving to free themselves from the op-
preston Of railroad corporations, and
uniting aanfully in fighting monopo-
lies, we have the startling announce
ment that railroad attorrey-D. A.
Dickinson has just been nominated by
the Republicans At Madelia, as o candi-
date IN this Judicial District.
Our railroad companies, not content
with tuying up members of the Legisla-
ture, now seek TO control the Judicial
department OF our government and
place one of their attorneys upon the
bench. A true and faithful Republi-
can, Mr.. Sprout, of Blue Earth City,
was defeated by a Liberal in Repub-
lcan convention. Why Because the
influence of the St. Paul and Sioux
City Railroad Company overwhelmed
him, and Nominated one of it's own en-
ptoyees.
For several years Mr.. Dickinson has
been the acting attorney for this rail-
read company. AL along the line Of
this road the delegates were Dickinson
men. To-day he is supported by every
official Of tina, road Mr.. Severance,
his Law partner, is also attorney for
that railroad. Will the rights of the
people be safe with a railroad attorney
fer Judge, and his Law partner practicir,g
before him.
MIR. Dickinson travelled, free of charge
over their road, to secure
the nomination, and will have free rides
by means of which he can convince the
people that he is the proper man to
elect as Judge. Do railroads give free
passes to candidates to electioneer upon.
unless they are personally interested in
the result We ask the voting masses
to discuss these matters, to talk
them ever with their neighbors and
cast their ballots against judge Who is
IN the interest and employ, and is to-
day receiving a salary from a railroad
corporation. General Bishop, the sup
erintendent of the road, has come to
his relief, and the services of railroad
men are to be pressed into his SUPPORT
at every station from Mankato to the
Iowa line. We urge the farmers in
particular, to buckle on their armor and
go into the fight to win. Mr.. Buck,
your candidate and stcadfast friend.
has never been the pet or employee of
this or any other railroad monopoly,
and what is more he never will be
their tool, defeated or
elected. Mr.. Buck has
been engaged in many important suits
against this company and always been
successful in sustaining the interests Of
the people against them. Because Mr..
Dickinson has been their ally and Mr..
Buck their opponent, in this warfare
they support the former and oppose the
latter. In such fight the railroads do
not ask what are the politics.sf the
candidate but how does nc stand ON the
monopoly question If he is fer the
railroads upon that question all others
arc thrown to the winds !,
twas not the Republican party that
nominated Mr.. Dickinson. TWAS the
st. Paul and Sioux City railroad com
pany that did it. His whole sympa-
thies arc with that road upon every !
vital question Of the hour. Every week |,
farmers are losing their farms. home |
steads and presumption claims through |
these grasping corporations. They |
have got control of the departments at |
Washington. They have bought up
members Of the Legislature, and nov if |
the courts are to be made and control
led by them, where is there any safety |
for the people.
Let every friend of reform rally to |
the polls and vote against the railroad !
candidate. |
In 1872 he was the president
Of the Greeley club in the city of Man
kato, and has ever since been under.
STOOD by his friends, and never denied |
by himself, that he was . Liberal and
acting with the Democratic party. On
the 9th day Of August last, at the ur-
gent request Of his law partner, who
claims to be . Democrat, Mr.. Dickin-
