ALI SORTS.

The Duluth boys came down like wolves on
the fold,
Their uniforms cleaning with red and old
gold,
And the sheen of their buckles was like the
full moon,
When blue waves roll nightly DER placid
Calhoun.
Like the leaves at Oak Lake when the ave-
nues green,
That club and its hackers at noontime were
seen.
Like the leaves on the sidewalk, when autumn
has blown,
Its pitchers and sluggers were scattered and
flown.
For phenomenal Sowders was placed in the
box,
And they went down before him, like rows of
brick blocks;
And the might of the sluggers who escape
from this fate
We're slaughtered at first or nipped off at the
plate.
With an apology to Lord Byron.
What our laboring classes need this fall is
an election of officeholders, who will not only
promise, during the campaign, to do some
thing in order to right their wrongs, but who
will also turn to and do something towards the
promises after they get into their places.
The Republicans have given so many of
those promises and afterwards lodged them
that the laboring part of our voters now
ought to try party which never yetin Mime
sofa had any promises to redeem, but still
has done honestly more for the interest of the
laborinS classes, than the Republicans ever
intended to do.
The journal is having 1t from Glencoe
that the farmers of Mcleod county are go
ing to support the elevator man and bonanza
farmer, A II. Reid, in the congressional con-
test, because he is a farmer aud is identi-
fed with them This puts one in mind of an
old Iowa farmer, who, during chat upon
campaign topics, said: 81 never ask man
about being farmer, but whether he walks
behind pillow or not.
Talking about the nomination struggle be-
tween Hon. A. F. Nordin and Mr.. Stocken-
strom for secretary of state on the Republi-
can ticket, Democratic Swede recently said:
81 wish. by all means, that they will nomin-
at Mr.. Stockenstrom, because he is by far
the easiest one to beat.
The Republicans of Washington county will
try to elect Rev. NJ. r. Roe for superinten-
dent Of schools to succeed the present incum-
bent, Mr.. James. AS last convulsive gras D
the Conservatives in the Scandinavian coun-
tries aud the Tories in England have tried to
bring the clerical and religious element into
politics and elections, and it has been voted
down as a national calamity in both in
stances. Has the calamity now spread to
this country and taken root amongst the Re-
publicans?
1t is pretty near time Matt Gallagher had
quit posing as a Democrat. It is also a time
he was calling meeting of himself, as the
Young Mems Democratic club, and unani-
mousy adopting set of resolutions.
Postmaster-elect Ankeny has not yet re-
ceived his commission, and Postmaster Lara
way smilingly draws the salary.

| Ireland. He also carries a map of Ireland
about with him. tn ough he wrinkles it all up

another midnight assault was charged up
