titles on that tract have been very lques-
tionable. I without exception refused
TO take q suit TO question or unsettle the
title Of any person who had honestly
purchased and paid for the hnd-even
though the title was not legally valid
and although many such cases were Of
fered to me. .
.fdz1* THE FINAL SUMMING UP. : p
3 But l have too long trespassed on your
patience. l. shall therefore not longer
refer to or dwell upon particulars. While
l have served four sessions in the legis-
lature your county has had Is senators
and members many witnesses of my acts
all of them opposed to me politically,
or at least nominally. I now challenge
any one of those men, for l respect them
oil, torlse up and say that I ever let at
tachment to party blind, me to my duty
as q citizen or legislator; or that have
ever covered before wealth and power or
hesitated to take the part of the people
against any and every form of attack by
wealth or power or chieanery; Dr. that I
have ever let my own personal interest
interfere with the fearless performance
of my duty as l understood it.
Again l 60 farther, and I challenge any
one OF those men to say whether there
was another man in the legislature
whom the mOnOpollsts, tax. title sharks.
patent right swindlers, and all that class,
more hated or feared. l am told my ad-
versaries have their men investigating
and critically examining my record. Let
the work proceed. 1 do not claim to be
perfect or to have been always right. On
| the contrary I know I have often erred.
But this l do know, that l have meyer by
| word or act permitted power or wealthto
deter me or turn me from the right.
l wish to be elected to Congress, but
| only as the representative Of the people
my old friends and neighbors. Those
powers and classes against which ! have
always stood opposed will beyond q doubt
continue to oppose me-they seem to pre-
fer my opponent over me as they prefer
red him over MI. White. And you will
find them res0rting to the same means to
defeat me by which they defeated Mr..
Whites nomination. I believe they will
not Succeed. The transparent and dis
homes ory of s'stop thief" which they
have set up; by which it is attempted to
divert attention from their methods, them
selves and their candidate will not avail
them. l appeal to you-the electors of
the district. See to it that you are not
~circumvented, for the canvass made in
the district for the nomination is merely
a foretastc of that which will be made for
the election.
l have nc doubt you will candidly look
at the record, the principles and previous
practices of both candidates and judge
them on that. And by that we should
both stand or fall. No man should seek
or secure an office unles his acts have
| shown him worthy of it.

A Useful Monkey.

Dennis Reagan Is now living IN 8

tracks. says the Buffalo REpress. Across
the street lives an Italian noblemaQ in
reduced circumstances who ekes out his
poor existence with the aid Of q poor
monkey and a worse hand organ. To
Garribaldi comes Dennis one evening,
and, after passing the time Of day,
warns up to the subject in hand: $500.
"Av ye PLACE, Misther Garibaldi,"

The count suggested that 10 cents an

Dennis haggled and tried to beat the
Italian down, but Garibaldi wouldn't
have that way, and the deal was closed
At his figure.
Everything went beautifully for = few
days. The money was paid promptly
and the monkey wa returned regularly

hollow-eved and care-worn, but in the
main was in good condition.
Finally, however, the Italians curios-

told Dennis that the monkey would not
be loaned any more. This announce
ment had . most depressing effect on
Dennis. His megatherian intellect rose
to the emergency, though, and he pro-

At this tho new partners shook hands,
and each took another pull out of the
can of beer which Dennis had warily
provided to lubricate the negotiations.
Then Dennis in his customary lordly

The Opal an Unlucky Stone.

The opal is represented to be an I'M
lucky gem. Perhaps it is. Here is a
little evidence to prove it. A young
lady of this city received for ona of her
wedding gifts a very handsome, opal
pin. On the wedding trip it WIS dis
covered that the opal was left at home.
1t was telegraphed fol-, to be brought
down to New York by a friend. The
friend carried it, as was supposed, but
on his arrival it was not to be found. It
had been mislaid somewhere. AFTER a
season it was found, and next made its
appearance at a ''tea," where it was an
adornment of the young lady. Arriving
home, the opal was found to be missing:
Search in every possible place and adj
vertising in the newspapers failed to re-
veal its whereabouts for weeks. 1t was
at last accidentally discovered caught
in the fringe Of a Christmas CARD which
depended from a gas bracket where it
had accidentally caught and swung
around face to the wall in hiding, not
five feet from where it was passed a
hundred times a day, and not three
inches from the button on the gas-fixt-
ure that was turned daily. The vaca-
ton of the opal was also unique. The
couple went into the mountains with
two trunks. Arriving at the hotel, one
of the trunks was a wrong trunk, all
though the right check was present.
Some laundering baggage-master en-
route had made a wrong transfer, and
the trunk, which was the lady's, had
gone off on its own hook, or its own
check. 'Here's a state of things" as
Ko-Ko would remark. The lost trunk
furnished the topic of conversation for
the mountain village, the hotel guests
condoled with the unfortunate losers.
shook their heads lugubriously, and
substantiated their shakes by cheer
ful(?) stories of lost trunks that they
had known about. The telegraph was
put into requisition, and, after many
days, the trunk made its appearance,
and then congratulations, fireworks in
the evening"" etc. The opal was in
that trunk.-Hartford Post. :

SUITS FOR THE FARMERS.
A few years ago our farmers storing
grain in warehouses had only the Pc
cuniary responsibility of the warehouse
! a special bin. If the gram was shipped
| he was irresponsible; the farmer suffered
the loss. This was a crying evil. drew
the first bill. offered n the legislature to
make it penal for a warehouseman to
ship out grain stored with him without
the written consent of the owner. This
bill I gave to q member of the legislature
from Winona county to he introduced
and it was by him introduced. II did
not pass that year; but the next year il
did in a slightly modified form. Soon
after the bill became a law, in order TO
make the danger to ~warehousemen viola
ting it apparent and notorious, at the IN
stance of a few of my farmer friends
without fee or reward I prosecuted and
convicted the only man l believe who
has ever been convicted under the law.
He was by Judge Mitchell sentenced to
states prison. This proved a sufficient
warning and l have not since heard of
such a crime. l also in the legislature
| favored and aided in the passage of the
| oleumargarine bill. And to the best of
| my ability l aided to pass a, law requir-
ing notice to the owners of land before
| the right of a tax title holder should be-
| come absolute-so as to make impossible
the acquiring of a tax title without the
knowledge of the owner of the property,
| and l refused to consent to accept a re-
tainer to argue in the supreme court in
| favor of a construction of the statute to
the effect that a mar could get a valid
| tax title in the land of another after the
latter had paid his tax to the proper
officer. The records will show that I
have always refused to be retained as an
attorney to assist any person to deprive
! another of his land on q tax title. Until
recent years Twas more frequently en-
gagged as an attorney in Wabasha county
than any Other attorney outside of the
