The united voice of the people Of the
state is being raised in favor of Col. A. DE
Lacey Wood, who is a candidate for the
legislature from Stearns county. This
feeling is so intense that if Col. Wood is
defeated the desk which he would have oc-
cupied in the house of representatives will
be draped in mourning for thirty days.

A private letter from Nellie McHenry to
Mrs. l.. of st. Anthony hill, CONVEYS the
gratifying intelligence that she has secured
another garter to replace the one given to
the latter as gift, and, she adds naively,
The picture Of my dear John, on the
clasp, is just too lovely for anything"

The quilts of the fretful porcupine, when
it is laboring under suppressed emotion,
could not present a more startling spectacle
than the beautiful side whiskers OF Col.
Joseph A. Wheelock on the night of the
I'd of November.
There will be contraction of small coins
after Nov. 2-but it will apply only to
small coins. such as nickels. Sammie and
Willie Nichols will know all about it after
that date.
The GLOBE now has the largest circula-
ton of any paper northwest OF Chicago,
but when the grand scheme of Illuminating
the streets of st. Paul is carried out this
winter-aS was done on Third street dur
ing fair week-therewll be mOreglObeS than
ever and the popularity of the name will
be fully attested. The GLOBE and the
globe shine for all.

Col Christopher D. O'Brien is chasing
will-o' -the-wisp. but so long as it amuses
him he should be given plenty of elbow
room. He INDUCES in the hope that, if
elected to the legislature, he can secure the
speakerShiD. He has caused the report to
be circulated broadcaSt-on the quiet-that
he has transplanted 20. K, P. II. K" in
the good graceS of the president. and that
he iE now in a position where he can get
anything he asks for from the president or
congress. With this powerful lever he
has worked with wonderful eff
feet, securing the pledges of both
Democratic and Republican candidates for
the legislature. The counties around Du-
luth have enrolled under his banner with
the understanding that O'Brien is to have
$40, 600. 900 appropriated by congress for
the improvement of the harbOr; the Red and
Minnesota rivers are to be made nayigable
for the largest steamers, and this bait has
caught all the counties along those streams;
$500, 600 additional is to be secured for the
pu bile building at Winona, and, of course,
that county is solid; the promise of mag
nificent public buildings at Saltwater, Red
Wing, Brainerd, Fergus Falls and Sacred
Heart have produced like effect; the man
ufacture of oleomargarine is to be entirely
suppressed, and every farmer who is can
didate will not hear of anybody but O'Bren:
the Irish are clamorouS for him, and local
pride will secure him the votes of Ramsey
county. In fact, it looks very bright fol
Mr. O'Brien. He has made shrewd and
effective canvass and claims TO have enough
votes pledged to elect him on the first
ballot-as the non partisan candidate, who
is looking solely after the interests of the
dear people and don't care about having
any of the pie for himself.

What grim humor, to be sure! The Re-
because they have not said all unkind word
against Edmund Rice, the Democrats should
say nothing unkind about Gillian. There
is wide difference. Rice has spOtleSS

him.

Joel Heatwole-alarmed lest the author
ship of the campaign papers issued by the
Republican state central committee should
/ be attributed to hlm-takes pains to assure
! all with whom he comes in contact that he

fused to give space for them in his paper,
although the committee offered to furnish
plates and thus save the expense of compo-
