The insincere and self-stultifying pos
ition occupied by the pretending G. A.
Gilman toward the farmers alliance, Is
apparent when it is known that his can
didacy for governor is aided and allotted
by j. j. Hill and other railroad mag
mates. There has nogreater confidence
game ever been attempted in Minneso-
Ia politics than his effort to draw sup
port from the farming cOmmunity-a
branch Of our industrial populace that
he has no kind Of fealty for. In plain
parlance, his candidacy is held up and
forced forward by some of the most ar
rant railroad monopolies in the state.
And what for? Does il stand to reason
that Jim Hill or the Manitoba railroad
company would be so very solicitous for
Gilman if it is not well understood that
he is and will continue to be subser-
Went tool TO the interests of monopolies
in Minnesota? Under the new law, the
governor has the appointment of the
Railroad Commissioners, and with Gil
man in the executive chair to carry out
the behests of these corporations, in:
stead of being benefit to the producing
as well as shipping interests, men would
be appointed on the commission who
would render the law dead letter and
a farce. Will the farmers of Minnesota
be "hoodoed" into supporting for goy-
ernor a man of this kind, or will they
protect themselves by refusing to give
his candidacy support and encourage
ment? Mr.. Gilman will learn before
the CANVASS is closed that the farmer il
not the "chump" he had figured.

THE convention which met in Manka-
to last week and named successor to
Congressman Wakefield was composed
of some of the best men in the district.
There was hardly delegate out of the
hundred and twenty-four who was not
personally friendly to Mr.. Wakefield
and would, had he been candidate
for reelection, have supported HIM with
much pleasure. The absence, there
fore, of resolution commencing his
course in congress-, may be set down as
an oversight and not, as some would
imply, Il silent rebuke to him. Mr..
Wakefield, through his manly, indie
pendent course, has elevated himself
greatly with the people of his district,
and they appreciate that he has made a
valuable representative. On every
question of public importance he has
truly represented the sentiments of his
constituency, and has labored hard to
please those whom he represents i'm
every way. Always held i'm high es-

Mr.. McGill is the one on whom the

state, and has clean record.

Peter, called last week To see the Union,

THERE is good deal said about Hon.
Jno. Lind being Scandinavian and that
his nomination gives the State of Mime
sofa two Congressman Of this nationali'
ty. Nothing more sbsure could be put
forward. Mr.. Lind is an American in
every sense of the word. The mere
fact that he was born in Sweden counts
for naught. His candidacy was not made
upon the nationality question and his
election is not demanded upon the
ground that he was born in foreign
country. Mr.. Lind is a Republican, true
and unauthorized, and upon this issue
and this alone does he ask the suffrage
of the people of the Second district
John Lind will be elected by at leas

ii. q. DAY, Esq, of the Albert Lea
Standard attended the congressional
convention in this city last week, and
while here met Hon. Loren Fletcher,
of Minneapolis. The fact that Mr..
Fletcher should attend this political
gathering i'm the Second district caused
Bro. Day to see things connected with
the governorship with cross eyes, and
straightway he writes stunning editor
ial for his paper on "the Minneapolis
Millers' Association and the governor
ship" In this article our beloved broth
er sees-or thinks he sees-a deep-seat-
eel and desperately-planned scheme on
the part of Mr.. Fletcher to manipulate
the Millers' Association i'm behalf of
Hon. A. Il. McGill for governor, and
proceeds to read the farmers lecture
on the awful result of nomination
brought about under such influences.
Now our good friend of the Standard
should lose no sleep over this matter.
Mr.. McGill, unlike one or two other
candidates who seek the Republican
nomination for governor, is not backed
in his candidacy by any ring, corpora
ton, monopoly or organization. His
candidacy is open to the inspection of
all, and his friends desire that his posi-
ton before the people be scrutinized i'm
every particular. IfMr. Fletcher, or
any other good Republican, feel it to
the interest of the state to support Mr..
McGill there seems to be no plausible
or justifyable reason why this fact need
scare anybody. Mr.. McGill is an hon
orable gentleman. His canvass for the
nomination will be made i'm a clean
manner and when the convention shall
have made its choice of candidates it
will not be truthfully said of him that he
has stopped to one ungentlemanly act
or committed single discourteous deed
toward his competitors. If there is any
conspiracy to defraud or defeat the will
of the people, in their choice for govern
or, it is not on Mr.. McGill's side of the
house, and any attempt to cast such un-
just and contemplate reflections upon
him, either by inuendoes or otherwise,
will only react to the injury of those
who commit the oifense. If the Standard
desires to support Mr.. Gibbs-and he is
no doubt the choice of that paper, being
resident of Freeborn county-it has a
perfect right to do so, but let it be done
in a straightforward manner. Mr..
Gibbs cannot build himself up by trying
to tear down candidate who is every
way his peer, and his newspaper friends
know, or should know, tins TO be fact.
The Standard will be justified i'm dealing
i'm facts, and heartily supported i'm show
ing up the true character of the candi-
dates before the people for tho very inn
portant office of governor, but it will not
be justified nor sustained i'm such editor
ial screeds as that which appeared un-
der the caption of"the Minneapolis Mil
lers' Association and the Governorship. ;"

ALAS, TOO LATE!

Herman Herald: Gilman's boom has
begun. The first gun sounded from the
Brainerd convention, and behold the
metropolitan papers are filled with COM
munications and kilograms which con-
vey the impression that the whole Fifth
district is up in arms for Gilman.
The Fergus Falls Journal is published
in the Fifth district and fails to see
things through Gilman optics. This
paper, in commenting upon the above
extract says:
1t is lie. 1t is as false and fraudu-
lent as Gilman's platform. We know,
and thousands of others know, that
there is scarcely among the rank and
file of the Fifth district following enough
TO make him Il pound master. Ii is Il
boom on paper and is the work of paid
agents and subsidized press. ia COM
plete divorce between himself and Mr..
Nelson could be effected, his chances
for the govcrnorship by the voters of
the Fifth district would he infinitely
more remote than the day of judgment
II il said that Mr.. Gilman prides him
self upon his new platform. Well he
may. If this was his first advent into
public life and his first utterance To the
people, we should hail il with admira-
ton. We would throw up our hat and
cheerfuliy hurrah and vote for Gilman.
But when we remember that for fifteen
long years he has been i'm public office
and trusted party leader, and that
during that time the whole system of
abuses which have fastened 100000, 600
dollars of watered stock upon the peo-
pie of this state and loaded the whole
state with public and private debt To
the very verge of universal bankruptcy
has grown up and iiourIshed, and when
we also remember that during most if
not all of that time he has enjoyed and
does now enjoy special favors from the
very corporations which have eaten out
the substance of the people we are
forced To believe this whole platform of
his is insincere, made by and with the
consent of the corporations whose only
object is To tickle the ears of the people
only To blast their hopes in the end {;
and by whose aid and power he hopes
to ride into the governors chair. This
platform of Mr.. GIlman's reminds us of
the case of the lrishman who while DIS

feathered biped sounded his first and

bernian's capacious throat. "Bedad,

too late. The man who has fostered or
