NEWS AND MOTIONS.

The corn crop in Blue Earth county is
said to be "simply immense"
1T is reported that there are seven candi-
dates for nomination for county clerk in Free
born county.
1T is estimated that oats in Mcleod coun-
ty will range from forty to seventy bushels to
the acre. The corn crop will also be good.
While each organization may have lacked
something in respect to regularity, it is claim
ed, and, 50 far as we know, on good ground,
that the Ward branch of the convention admit
ted ten delegates from Mower county and four
teen, who from the irregularity of their Sc
lection were not entitled to act as delegates.
We have all along been impressed that the
organization which nominated Mr. Dunnell
was more regular than that which nominated
Mr.. Ward. The objection which Mr.. Dunnell's
opponents have to him is his alleged practice
Of influencing political action in his district by
doubt one of the abuses of our politics and it
Is one we would like to see abolished. We
would have much more sympathy for Mr..
ed wish to do away with the spoils SYSTEM

For some reason the average harvest hand
has for the past year or two been better be-
haved and more respectable fellow than he
used to be. He don't fight so much, nor brawl
50 much, nor make himself 50 much of NUS
ance generally as he used to. True, he drinks
whiskey still, too much, sometimes, and gets
jagged in consequence, but his DRINKS are not
so uproarious and disturbing as in the olden
days. Perhaps this apparent improvement
in the harvester is due largely to the fact that
there are not so many Of him as there
were formerly, and that his Importance
diminished wit 20 i,or int no
Der of self binders and other labor saving
machines. The travelling harvester is not
what he once was; his glory has mostly depart

The Mankato Review, an intelligent and can
did Democratic paper, after taking survey
of the Republican situation in this Congress-
iOnal district, expresses it's positive convlc-
ton that MIR. Dunnell's supporters are large
ly in the ascendancy. 1t even goes farther,
and declares it's belief that were vote to BE
taken now MIR. Dunnell would be elected be-
You'd question as against both Ward and
Democrat, and it intimates that the only feas-
ible way of beating Dunnell is for Ward to
withdraw and concentrate all the opposition
upon the Democratic candidate yet to be NOM
mated. 1t is evident enough to all close OBJ
servers that Mr.. Dunnell, notwithstanding
the factious opposition made to him in the
Republican ranks, enters upon the campaign
with very tangible and constantly growing
evidences of strength that will by November
Overbear all obstacles to his election.
The attempt to assassinate Judge Page was
made the evening he returned from the ada.
cent town of Taopi, where he had been profess
| sionally employed in aiding the prosecution of
| ,%nS~>
laws Of the state. Three days later, at Taopi,
Mr.. G. w. Rutland, who had been largely in-
| strumental in procuring evidence for the state
| in these same prosecutions, is fired at through
| the window of his room, by some unknown
scOundrel, but escapes unhurt. The infer
ence from these facts is too plain to be ignor-
ed by the public or by the press, and it is need
less at present to look beyond the circumstan-
ces named to find a probable malicious motive
for the atrocious crimes which the past week
has recorded. A little first-class detective
! work among the rum-dens about Taopi might
throw needed light on a dark subject, and the
safety of society demands that that work be
done.- Minneapolis Tribune.

DID you ask how the Union war vete
rams will vote in November? 1t is an
absurd question TO ask. Among the vete
rams at Columbus, Ohio, last week, there
were 1928 who had suffered the tortures
of rebel prisons. Of these 1892 are for
Garfield and Arthur and one for Han cock
and English. The boys that wore the
BLUE are opposed to the principles that r
