A FACT worthy the consideration Of
every fair.minded man is, that Mr.. Dun.
nell, and The campaign speakers support.
ing him, indulge in the abuse OF 10 man.
Last Saturday eveaing, no unfair, abusive,
or ungen,lemanly reference was made 10
Mr.. Ward or Mr.. Wells. Personal abuse
and viliticatiou we're not INDUCED in at
all. Can Mr.. Ward and MIR. Wells say as
much for themselves and their speakers ?
Will those who have heard Mr.. Page and
Gen Baker say that Mr.. Dunnell was
treated by these speakers as fairly and
courteouslv? Wait and see.

If the people want 6gure.head in the
Probate Court, let them elect Knox. To
be sure he knows nothing about law or
anything else connected with the court
but he can take the honor, and Page who
viii be the real Judge, will run the ma.
chine. Knox knows that he ia the cats
paw with which Page Is to rake the chest
nuts out of the fire; but even this is some
thing for his long years of servility.
Vote for Knox, if you wish Page for
Probate Judge.

Is it fair for the east side of the county
to oppose j. D. Allen for Representative
because he favors retaining the county
seat at Austin? ESQ, then it would be
fair for the west side of the county TO op
pose candidate for Representative from
the east side. We do not tclieve how
ever, that this uarrow-miaded sen,imen,
prevails to any extent.

The Two Tickets.

called upon to choose between two tickets,
each claiming to be put in the field by
the genuine Republican party. There is
but one Republican ticket, and that is the
one nominated by Republicans at the call
of The Chairman OF the County Committee,
". L. Hollister, and containing the names
Of Republicans. This ticket is made up
Ct men who are to he elected TO perform
the duties OF their Offices impartially,
honestly, and fearessly. They were
chosen wholly on account Of their fitness
and character, and their entire time and
strength will be devoted to the labor Of
their positions.
But how is it with the ticket nominated
by Page and his minions at Brownsville.
Howell says, 1--WE must clean out the
Austin ring or move away" The ques-
ton Was not, Is the man fitted for the
position, but can we fuse him with Dem.
ocracy, Greenbackism and whiskey, and
get him elected 80 as to fight the "conspira-
tors" The only qualification sought was
hatred Of the "conspirators" and loyalty
to Page.
In substantiation of this statement, look
at Andrew Knox, nominated for Judge Of
Probate. He knows nothing about law,
and is q man Of such vjoleu, prejudices
that we do not believe he could give an
unbiased opinion even on the simplest
! auaIrs. a man cannot I'll this position
we'll without legal learning. And it is y
Disgrace and positive injustice to the
people Of this county 10 elect a man to
this important Office who Is not qualified.
We have nothing TO say against the moral
character Of Andrew Knox, but being a
candidate for public Office, we have the
right to speak Of his qualifications for the
position he seeks.
Wyckof and Cox are the most ardent
|of Democrats, nominated by this Page
convention for the important positions of
County Auditor and Sheriff John Frank
is Democrat, and he candidate for
Representative, who, if elected, will have
voice in the election Of United States
Senator. In the face Of this record, the
lKercury has the brass to parade these
names at the bead Of its columns as Re-
publ,cans, and will print "Hepublican"
tickets containing these names for the sole
purpose OF deceiying voters.
The claim of the Brownsville conven-
ton to legitimacy can not tor moment
be sustained. The chairman who called
the convention WAS appointed by the
fraudulent, boiling convention which
ele cted delegates to Waseca. Tie conven-
ton was constituted of men from all par
ties, except the Republican party, and
the nOmiL ees are Grcenbackers, Demo-
Gratis, whiskey men, tenn 2erance men, and
Page men. The only claim these men
can MAINTAIN is, that OF consistency.
Their delegation to Wasecs was fraud !;
their convention there was fraud; their
organization here Is fraud; and their
ticket, 80 tar as being Republican is con-
cerned, is double-dyed fraud. Le.every
man mark these men a, the polls, and
teach them, by their overwhelming defeat,
that men cannot be elected to Office solely
tina, they may faght "conspirators," and
that professions Of republicanism will not
screen them In their union with every
thing that is factions and fraudulent.

THE sEAw.lYH4KA DISASTER.
Result of the inspectors, Investigation.

b'eh"t VI tne inspectors iHNehtB"u""'
New YORK, Aug. 27.-Thc local steamboat
Inspectors who made an investigation of the
causes which led to the burning of the
steamer Seawanhaka made public their re-
port to-day. They say the testimony goes to
show that there was an abundance of lfe.pre-
servers on board, and in every respect con-
formablc to the requirements Of law. Upon
examination of tho boiler after the accident
two of the top row of 1ues in the stnrboard
boiler were found 10 be ruptured close to the
back fue sheet. This they believe occurred
caused bya draft forcing the gases and flames
cut from tho crate and furnace doors, ignit-
ing the woodwork The inspectors believe
also that had the passengers taken the advice
of the officers and remained on board until
the vessel grounded nearly all would have
been saved.
