tended both the Republican and Democratic
national conventions, and took In their air

After the nomination of Gov Cleveland
he forwarded by telegram to the Times, his
comments on the nomination and on the
convention ITSELF the whole forming ju-
dicial statement of opinion that cannot
fail to attract attention 1t will occur to every
reader that the statement is an able, clear,
discriminating and candid comment on the
convention and its work. Col. Mcclure is a
vetran observer of political events of
rare capacity and experience, rising even to
the altitude of craftsmanship. He yields
forcible and practical pen, and his words
ring. His statements and suggestions are
the product of ripe observation, and are full
OF encouragement to the honest reformer,
who like him feel the necessity of political
revolution, and clearly sees its dawn in the
late Democratic convention, and the irresist-

OF the campaign, purifying the political
atmosphere, overthrowing corrupt dynasty
and giving victory once more to the right.

dollars worth of fat cattle, hogs and young
stock was purchased here in 1883. More
than 500, 600 worth of farm machinery was
sold and nearly that amount OF hardware.
The lumber business Of our town VIII approx
innate 100000 per annum, the drug business
S25, 900, and the tobacco and liquor business
as much more. The harness and leather
business amounts to $4,000 and Sl2,OoO
worth of hides and furs are purchased annu-
ally. Fifteen thousand dollars per annum is
a low estimate of our expenditures for puplc
buildings, stores and residences, and not
less than $1,000 is annually paid out 10
the farmers in this vicinity Tor wheat, corn
and other grain crops. And yet, it is esti-
mated, that not one-eighth part OF our tllla-
BILE lands have ever been turned by the set
tiers plow To estimate then, what the
traffic of our town shall be in the near fu-
ture, is not a difficult task. OF the vast
amount of business already done, we have
the evidence that only small portion, all
most insignificant in comparison, has been
done with the merchant business men OF
st. Paul. Minneapolis, La Crosse, Mtlwau-
kee, Chicago, New York and other cities
have secured by far the greater and more
profitable share, and we are convinced that
the tendencies of our trade are away from
the commercial metropolis of our state
With view to better understanding OF the
business relations that surround us, we
solicit better acquaintance with theJobbers'
Union of st. Paul, and hope for much mu-
tual ben eft from this their first visit to our
town.

Montevtdeo, Ms,,n.

The following very comprehensive write
up of one Of the best towns on the Hastings
& Dakota was distributed among the excur-
sionsts:
Beautifully situated upon the east bank Of
the Chippewa river near its confluence with
the Minnesota, and upon the Hastings 81
Dakota division of the Chicago, Milwaukee 81
st. Paul railway, 125 miles due west of st.
Paul, is found the young and thriving city
of Montevideo, the county seat of Chippewa
county and the commercial center Of large
section of the very finest agricultural lands
to be found in three Of the best counties I'm
the upper Minnesota valley. Monteyideo is
town of 1000 Inhabitants, the business
portion of which lies along the Chippewa
river, while the resident portion and public
buildings are located upon beautiful bluffs
that command a magnificent view of the two
valleys and of the adjacent country. A fine
court house, built in 1882 of brick manufac-
tured here, adorns a public square, and a
magnificent school house, also of brick, oc-
cupies an adjacent block, while five
church edifces are found in the
immediate vicinity. In the business portion
Of the town there are three banks, three ele-
vators, three lumber yards, four hotels, five
machinery warehouses, four hardware stores,
three drug stores and a large number Of dry
goods, grocery and provision houses, many
of them of the first class, with a proportion
ate number of harness, leather, millinery.
clothing and furniture houses and numerous
manufactures, machine shops, etc. The.
new Montevideo Roller mills, located at the
head of Main street, are Of the first class and
utilize the splendid water power Of the entire
river with nine foot fall. Other important
manufactures are also carried on, including
milling, carriage factories, marble works,
etc. The educational and society adyan-
tages of the town are excellent and the peo-
pie are intelligent, enterprisiDg and public
spirited.
Within radius OF twenty five miles are
found over million acres of the very choic-
est agricultural lands Of this most remark
able valley, with scarcely IN acre of waste
land in the entire region. Owing to the
excellence Of our country roads that
radiate from town in all directions,
to the superiority of our milling and
shipping facilities, to the reliability and SUI
periority Of our markets and to the enterprise
and business sagacity of our merchants and
tradesmen, these lands have been rendered
easily accessible and are, for the most part,
tributary to our town and markets, and as
they become more fully occupied and are
made productive, the business Of our town
VIII be very largely increased As It IS, the
com merciaI business of the town has been
closely estimated at very nearly 81, 900, 900
per annum. More than half a million BUSH
els of wheat were purchased from farmers
wagons in 1888. The milling business for
the coming year win aggregate 5000, 600
The dry goods and grocery trade at least
$500. 900. One hundred and fifty thousand

At no point on the line was the reception
offered the Union more hearty or enthusiastic
than at Ashton. A band of music and the
whole town turned out to give the welcome
which they extended, force and volume The
subioined address was presented TO the Union,
together with map Of Sphinx county, show
ing the acreage in wheat and oats Of each
township, the total Of which is embodied in
the address. When the speeches by c. w.
Andrews and J. J. Cushing were ended the
visitors were invited to taste the water from

Judge Chandler.

The most humorous speech of the entire
trip was probably made by Judge J. A.
Chandler at the Howard City banquet, in re-
Spouse to the sentiment, sour Lady Host
esses." His illusions to the father of our
race was not sin terms
entirely complimentary to that
individual, but which were successful in
bringing down the house again and again.
His closing remarks were uttered in tone
full of sincerity and sentiment. The
sweetest words man ever learned to say
to woman, ever old and yet ever new
Which have been uttered by the noblest,
bravest and best men of all ages and nations
and which myself have uttered more than
q thousand times principally to one woman)
and which now most sincerely and rever-
emily say to you ladies Extending his hands
toward the Howard ladies' I love YOU
Nothing on the whole trip exceeded the
dramatic effect of this speech, passing in
one moment from some burst Of pleasantly
to the tenderest expression of pure senti-
ment as when he alluded to his own wife
and grown up daughters and the little grand
daughter, the idol of his heart.
The following is the splendid speech
entire of D. D. Hoidridge, of Howard, de-
hvered at the banquet:
Gentlemen Of the St Paul Jobbers' Union

Howard and vicinity to welcome you to our

The following paragraphs, taken from the
Grant county Reoier, presents good showing
for good town:
Milbank, on the Fl. & D. division OF the
c., M. & St. Paul r. r., west of Minneapolis,
is three years old, has a population of 1,20O
to 1900, is the end of the division, has a
solid brick round house with ten stalls,
Touring mill, three churches, all fine edifices,
a large graded school building, public
library association, owning its own building,
a neat structure 20x34, with 400 volumes of
the best works on its shelves, and all the
principal magazines and papers in its read
ing room. The town is surrounded by fine
country, which is a gently rolling prairie,
and is well watered by numerous streams
coming from mountain springs in the
Dakota hills lying about ten miles west OF
the town. The county was settled mainly
in 1879 and 1880, with the best farmers from
Minnesota and Wisconsin and states further
east. The population is about 1000, and the
intelligence of the people is shown by the in
terest manifested in the erection of school
houses; it is estimated that there are on
an average three school houses in every
township.
Three elevators in Milbank indicate the
importance of the wheat interest in this
rapidly growing town. Much interest is also
being manifested in the raising of stock, the
country is peculiarly adapted to this industry,
the native grasses being very nutritious
and running streams throughout the entire
extent.
The tone of society in Milbank Is about
the average of the rapidly growing western
towns, as evidenced by her fine churches,
and library, and elegant school building.
Any one in search OF prosperous, healthy
location, could not find one combining more
of the requisite qualifications.

The following address was distributed:
To the Jobbers' Union of st. Paul:
Welcome = The undersigned business
men of the city of Ashton, are
glad of this opportunity to become
acquainted with you and in order that you
may become better acquainted with our re-

acres sown to wheat and oats this year is as
follows: Wheat, 101 ,914 acres; oats, 25, 504
acres. The total assessed valuation for the
county is SO, 100000, distributed as follows
Real estate outside of the towns, 81, 959, 40;
real estate in the towns, S279, $50; personal
property, 1861, 200. The total population of
the county, according TO the assessors
census, 9, 100 Placing the average yield of
wheat this year as low as fifteen bushels per
acre and oats at fifty bushels per acre, Sphinx
county will produce this year 1.52S, 740
bushels of wheat and 1,2S0,20 bushels
of oats, which will be distributed
among the various towns of the county for
shipment in the following ratio Of wheat,
Mellette, 257, 100 bushels; Worthwhile, H.

The towns of Worthwhile, Athol, Tulare, Red
field and Dolland, being located near the
