THE ILLINOIS VICTORY.

Is all the more important as il is not
only a victory of Republican principles
but victory of virtue over vice, for
the Democracy true to the instincts
which seem to have inspired or bid
them in the national and state conven-
tons put in nomination for governor
of Illinois, the notorious mayor of that
city, a Kentucky copperhead in war
times and known to the people of
Chicago as the favorite and favored of
all degrading elements of the city. He
was candidate for vice president in
the Democratic national convention
and would have been very suitable
associate for Grover Cleveland on this
national ticket, but Hendrick claims
were considered older and Carter was
left to become the standard bearer of
the Democratic party in the guberna-
torial contest in Illinois. He was
nominated simply and solely because
his copperhead principles were entire
ly satisfactory to the Democracy, and
his influence and sympathy with the
gamblers and saloonists and lowest
elements of society in the city of
Chicago was deemed an essential quail
fication to insure Democratic success.
On the other hand Gen. RI .Oglesby is
man whose private character was ire
whose patriotism was prov
en- by gallant services in the field in de-
fence of the Union and bearing to this
day the scar of a desperate wound re-
ceived in the battle for the Union, and
whose public life in the cival service
has been spotless and irreproachable.
His triumph makes an era in the
history of Illinois that will ever be re-
with pride by the respectable
people of the state. His defeat by |
would have carried the state
with pail of disgrace that years could
not have removed and gone far to
prove that the world especially Illinois,
was on the retrograde in morals and
decency at very rapid rate. |

BY reference to the vote on congress.
man, it will be observed that notwith-
standing the efforts made to cut his
majority down in this county, he is on
ly behind the national ticket twelve
votes. In the city where the Retsev
advised every dissatisfied Republican
to vote against Wakefield, and thus ex-
press their disapprobation of the pres
ent postmaster's appointment, he leads
the national ticket by four votes. This
result is certainly clear vindication OF
Mr.. Wakefield, and he may feel proud
to know that the low, mean and con-
temptible course which that vile sheet
has pursued toward him has been 81
lently, but elegantly stamped as miami
Gus. The renegade, whose only journ-
alistic accomplishment is blackguard-
ism and personal abuse, may learn that
it were better to have some degree OF
regard for decency in what he writes.

LECTURE COURSE.

Arrangements have been made by
Wilkin Post q. A. r., for course of
six lectures during the winter. Of the
course, one will be musical treat, and
it may be relied upon that it will be
the finest entertainment of the kind
our people have been treated to in a
long time. Two very prominent and
renowned lecturers have been secured
for December: John B. Cough and A.
w. Tourgee.
The Post takes this means of raising
funds for the erection of soldiers
monument, and so worthy is such an
object that they are assured in advance
of securing liberal patronage.
Mankato has long needed a literary
bureau, and with such eminent lee
turers as those mentioned above, our
people are indeed fortunate that Will
kin Post should inaugurate such de-
partment.

THE prohibitionists have worked
well for Cleveland in New York. They
are evidently intent upon showing
their hostility to the party from which
they have received their strength in
New York as we'll as in Mankato. In
this city they made a fight not only
against the Republican national ticket
but sought out thoroughly good tenn
perance candidate and slaughtered
him for the benefit of free trade
Democrat. If New York is lost
to the Republicans it is solely
due to the efforts of the Kansas
blatherskite Saint John, the ally of
Grover Cleveland with his prohibition
followers. If there is anything here
after that our honest Republicans will
detest it will be prohlbi-
of st. John. They have
set their cause back at least twenty-five
years.

THE ELECTION IN THE COUNTY.

Aside from the widespread interest
in the national election, that of our own
immediate vicinity has been one of I'M
usual interest. The campaign was
worked in the most vigilant manner by
all the different aspirants, and those
who were asked by popular vote to re-
tire, haye the satisfaction of mind that it
was not through lack of careful man
agement OH their part.
We believe, also, that the canvass,
i'll the main, has been an honest one
on both sides, though no stone was left
unturned. The vote of the county, as
the returns show, is pretty full, and
the Republicans have reason to feel
proud of their achievement. The
whole Republican ticket, excepting
county attorney and one representa-
tive is elected, and better set of men
were never selected to preside over
our public affairs. In some of the towns
which have been Democratic hereto
fore, by great odds, have drawn heav-
lily toward the Republican side this
time. This is owing to the fact that
the Germans and Irish were loyal to
their own convictions and. voted for
what they know to be principle and
ability. In Danville township, especial
ly, are the Germans to be commended,
for it is stated by those who know, that
they were loyal to Blaine, generally,
and turned out to the polls to man.
In jamestown the same is true of the
Irish, who rallied to the Republican
support in large numbers. This shows
that when the Democratic party tries
to make its subjects swallow nominee
wholly unworthy of the support of in
telligent and respectable people, it is
going to be deserted by the best part
Of its following.
The Legislative ticket stands, Wipley.
Spaulding, Warner and Foster. The
county ticket elected is, Auditor Scatter
good; Attorney, Pau; Judge of Probate,
Mead; Commissioner LIST District, John
Klein; 2nd District, Olef Martinson.
In considering the fitness of these
men, we find much to congratulate our
selves upon. 1t was confidently hoped
that the quartette of men put in nomi-
nation by the Republican convention
would represent us in the next legisla-
ture, but to have three on the delega-
ton with so much reliable judgement,

A NEW INDUSTRY.

A new manufacturing industry has
been started in our city, that is bound
to play an important factor in business
circles. The Mankato Mattress Com
pany, with f. J. Zimmerman, manager,
is located i'm the basement of Union
Hall, where some of the best wire,
curled hair, moss, wool, excelsior and
mixed mattresses ever manufactured
are being turned out. The establish
ment also manufactures spring beds.
These goods are sold at wholesale only,
and although the works have been in
operation but a few days, wherever
they have been introduced they give
the best of satisfaction, and increased
orders follow. Mr.. Zimmerman, the
manager, is young man of good
business ability, and under his super
vision the concern is bound to grow.
We wish the new establishment the
best success.
