aCiVe OF this congressional district We shall
accord i'm the fullest courtesy and fair criti-
clsm if we attempt to criticise. In common
with many others we do not view with favor
the record of his railroad craftsmanship. nor
feel the assurance of his party supporters
mat he will In congress promote legislation in
the interests of the people as against the rail-
roads. But we say, give him fair start and
wait for the fiftieth congress and his record
tnerein.-Lanesboro Journal.
The Republicans are not Dragging much
over the result of the late state election, but
tney say: just wait two years hence ard
we show you an old-time majority. Two
years hence the Republicans of Minnesota

ever saw. In every nook and corner, wher-
ever there are two or three Democrats gath
cred together, there will be an active, organ
ized campaign.-Sleepy Eye Herald.
What the people of this section now want
and demand of the next legislature Is that
they give US fair share of legislators. The
population of the Forty-fifth district entities
US to at least two senators and five represen-
tatives, instead of one senator and one repre-
sentative. We have waited long enough, and
the legislature will have no honorable excuse
Tor putting us of any lougeI.-Ada Index.
Z. A. Gilman, as gubernatoria candidate,
would have gone out of the Fifth district
with from 5000 to 5000 majority, and he
would have carried the balance of the state

carried the Fifth district by 800 majority, and
the balance of the state by an equally unsat-
isfactory majority Big Stone County Herald.
The party papers are just now full of ''ex-
plantations" of how it all happened. The
journal thinks it is easily accounted for. The
HerDerts, LOvelys, etc., had made boiling
party nominations respectable, and they
simply received good round dose of their
own medicine; that's all. Now 'let US have
peace. "-Waterville Journal.
Gov. MeGilPs appointments this winter will

Big Stone County Herald.
Everybody seems well pleased over DON
nelly's election to the legislature. He will
make things lively for the ringsters and stand
IN the front as champion of the farmers in
terests. And why not make him speaker?
He is certainly the best fitted for it of any
man yet mentiOned.-Fairmont Sentinel.
If the legislature is wise, the members will
support William E. Lee, as 1t is hardly safe to
trust Ramsey county or Hennepin county

schemes On hand for manipulation by a
speaker.-HaStings Democrat
of Mark d. Flower to lower c. A. Gilman IN

of the ticket than did Mr.. Gilman. Month

has been grated onto the Fletcher stalk
nothing good can come out of him.-Big Stone
County Herald.
One thing that the coming legislature will
be expected to do is to take the appointment
of the railroad and warehouse commissioners
out of the haLds of the governor. The legls-
lature should appoint them, or they should
be elected by the peOple.-Lac qui Parle

traitor, and in the midst of an honorable BODY

crat.
No caucuses or conventions will again have
binding force to elect ring ticket. Demo

The FaIrmont Sentinel says: 1t is safe to
predict that John S. PillsbuIy will not be the
chairman of the Republican state central
committee two years hence. He is tao big
load for any party to carry.
Mr.. Wilson will not forget, of course, when
he makes out a list of those he will recon-
mend for appointments in the federal service,
