Ramsey Didn't Materialisc.
[Faribault Republican,

lIdllDdulI hepuullCdu.J
Senator Mcmillan has done well in his
official career, and the opposition to him
was recognized as so largely growing ont
of the hostility of those whose motives
were purely selfish and personal that it
had little effect in staying the tide. The
Pioneer Press, by its unwarranted abuse
and contemptuous treatment of Senator
Mcmillan, and its imputations of venality
and corruption against the Senator's sup
porters, unsustained by confirmatory evil
dence, fell very dead upon the public ear.
The spontaneous" feeling in favor of
Alex. Ramsey, which was alleged as the
reason for bringing him into the field as
a candidate, did not materialize when the
test was made. Evidently it had very
little foundation, and the ex-senator
yielded to very bad advice in yielding to
the promptings of those who only hoped
to advance their own personal interests in
bringing him forward.

Il Sham Boom.
Harrington Press. ]

The Ramsey boom was clearly sham
affair, scarecrow, manufactured by the
Pioneer Press, from what we are forced
to believe to be quite private and selfish
motives.
Every journal has the right of its
opinion--the right to advocate whoever
and whatever it pleases; but when it
claims to be the mouthpiece of the public,
it in the interest of any party. clique or
faction. There was no popular call for
Ramsey at this time, and the Pioneer
Press knew it; or, if it did not know
this, it is open to the charge of possessing
an infantile credulity, that would be quite
as astounding in so able journal, as its
assumptions of dictatorship over polit;-
cal affairs in general are ABSURD and
ridiculous.

a pretty thorough study of the patronage

more of it than any Senator in the North

him, he possesses considerable dignity, a
