We greet you, festive bosses.

October 1st will witness tho largest
political gathering ever held in
Morrison county. !: -.
The gang just begins to realize that
in some parts of Morrison county they
are in mighty poor oder.
It begins to look as though Etell
would control the German vote this
fall about az solid as Rasicot will the
French vote. Oh you busted bossesl
The bosses are still seeking for the
man with sand enough to run against
signor. Gentlemen, feed your chaff
TO birds that can't see through your
schemes.
Democrats from all parts Of the
county protest against the snap judge
ment call Of the Democratic county
convention, and swear vengeance on
the gang this fall. -
Just observe the strength that Rasi-
cot will have in to-morrew's conven-
ton from his solid towns of Belle Prai-
RE and Ripley. Verify, he has solid
grip on the French vote.
And Rasicot and stoll decreed that
there should be change in the office
OF clerk of court, did tbey7 And
Houde should be punished for his part
IN the village election, eh?
1t is pleasant to see that the Demo-
Graf can name the nominees of the
county convention which will meet
Tomorrow. The short notice given is
all that allows the program to be car
ried out.
The boys cay that Rasicot and stoll
started out to tx up the Democratic
caucuses in the county with a key Of
beer, and every time they got scooped
in caucus they refused to tap the
beer. Nearly every town has been
visited and the beef remains untapped.
WEIGH is right and Auyer is wrong
in their discussion Is to the usual time
OF holding the Democrrtic county
convention. In 1884, as was the usual
custom, the Democratic convention
was not held until after tie Republi-
cans had: nominated their county
ticket.
II you have friend whom you want
to receive the support OF the Peoples
movements don't go into q combina-
ton With the bosses to get their as
slstance for another friend. It will
surely result in complications that
will prove disastrous to both of the
candidates.
It will be foolish for any county Of
fetal or Office seeker to suppose that
be can exert his influence for Rasicot
and stoll, and have bis particular
friends also assist them, and at the
same time retain the friendship of the
elements that are opposing these boss
es. The lines will be drawn altogeth.
er too close ior that kind OF double
playing.
The result shows that the bosses
did wisely in calling a snap Democra-
tic county convention, as a two or
three weeks canvass would result in
smashing the slate they had prepared.
But the aggrievod parties have an OK.
cel'ent chance to avenge the wrong,
and avenge it so decidedly that after
the campaign Of 1885 it will be many
years before another attempt will be
made to throttle the voice Of tho pee.
pie or the party.
The falshood that any attempt would
be made to prevent the holding Of the
usual Republican county convention is
refutted by the publication of the call
IN another column. No attempt was
made to prevent the calling Of the
convention, and we do not believe
that any attempt will be made to pre-
vent the convention from joining
heartily in the Peoples movement.
The party, individually and as body
favor the move, and there is no doubt
but formal Endorsement will give it
great strength.
Even Rasicot's enemies felt sort
Of sorry fol him after he returned from
Belle Prairie caucus on Tuesday
evening. OF course they were glad
he got 80 gloriously scooped among
the people of his own nationality
(where he was formerly selid) but
they hated to see his sand all leave
him on this early stage of the cam.
palgn. His associate bosses also begin
to think he is too heavy a load to car
~, as he expects all their strength and
don't show any to return. He is g
cooked goose and bis friends won't
waste many efforts to brace up his
hopeless cause.
In another column will be found the
call for the Peoples convention. The
committee publish it at the request OF
over 200 influential citizens of this
county, members Of each political par
ty, and the movement has better
backing than its most enthusiastic ad-
Vocates had hoped for. The campaign
will ae continued energeticaily until
the polls close, and there is no reas-
on to doubt Of bis success on every
contested point. It has the almost
unanimous backing Of the Republicans
Of the county, and the pest class of
Democrats in all parts of the county
are pledged to favor it. 1t Is the only
satisfactory way to rid the couaty Of a
number of domineering officials and
