Fighting the Foe.

The Republican committee having looked
the glOund over has withdrawn their
forces from the outlying regions and will
stake every thing on the two cities of Min
neapolis and st. Paul. These they hope.
by a systematic use OF money and SANDER,
to carry for the ring. The hope is des-
perate one for the former gave Dr.. Ames
nearly 5000 majority at the last election.
and the latter gave Mayor Rice about the
same They will certainly not do less now.
Indeed, it is hoped to see DR.. Ames go
out of Hennepin county with at least TO-
900 majority. The one great effort Of the
ring will be to defeat these majOritieS.
Let every man grid on his arm0r and go
bravely into the fight. Here is the battle
ground. The canvass of the state made
by Mayor Ames is the most brilliant one
ever made in the Northwest. He has spoken
from two to five times per day, and yet,
thanks to his robust frame, comes out at
the end as fresh as at the start. Indeed
the country air has somewhat improved his
health. He has travelled thousands of
miles, shaken by the hand thousands of his
fellow citizens. rode often IN cabooses and
at nights. yet all with no effect upon his
health. During all this time poor McGill
has been kept in handbook and exhibited
only when the ring found it necessary.
Langdon professed to be Gibbs man,
but only until he could turn in his vote to
Fletcher for McGill
The Pillsburys are good citizens. but
-four mills and elevators are not all of Min
neapols.
When DR.. Aues comes back at the wheat
ring they call it abusing Minneapolis"
The wheat gamblers are not putting up
much for McGilI. This has been bad
year for them.
There will be no distribution of profits"
until Pa, Charlie or Uncle John is a candi-
date.
If Mayor Ames is not fit man for gov
ernor, why did the directors of the EXPOSE
ton only few months ago make him one
of that body. Gen. Washburn. S. C. Gale,
0. A. Pray, A. j. Blethen, Hugh Harrison
and such men were glad to vote for and
elect DR.. Ames director. At its very last
meeting few days ago be sat with these
men i'll delberation over the interests of
that body. Why will men deliberately lie
about DIR. AmeS?
DR.. AIues may not be a millionaire, but
he has plenty of money in bank. His bank
is in the hearts of the people.
How would the state farm at Minnetonka
DIR. AmeS? ~ i
Reliable information gathered from al
parts of the state plainly foreshadows the
election of DIR. Ames. 1t is not only
slight detection from the old Republican
! party here and there, but it is revolution.
The farmers especially oppose the manipu-
lations of the wheat ring. which has sys-
tematically robbed them of their hard earn
ings The large body of laboring men. too,
in every part of the state, recognize in DIR.
Ames their best friend. These TWO ele-
ments are dead sure to knock the ring
sters" out at the first round.
McGill may be a good clerk in the state
house, but he's too awfully nice for gov
eTnOr.
The mustache is the delight of all the
ladies. but they protest against its being
dyed.
The question at the polls will be: Shall
the bosses rule the people, or the people
rule the bosses.
Loren Fletcher is the head devil. He
uses Langd0n with a promise of the United
States senate. while John S. Pillsbury is
given the sap of being chairman of the
state committee.
Windy Window swore he would be re-
venged on Fletcher and Langdon for his de-
feat by Sabin, but they pull him in all the
same.
The evening Journal, speaking of the
wheat ring in an editorial of Sent. T. used
the following language: THE grain bus
mess of the Northwest is to-day practically
under the control Of one of the most power
full pools ever organized" The PiIlsburys.
Fletcher and LangdOn are at the head OF it.
The pool is really working on margin
of cents bushel." On 80. 600, 900 bushels
of wheat raised in Minnesota this would
be nearly 1850. 900. What is the wheat
ring?
The people to the rings: Where have
our pine lands gone to?
The men loudest now for the rings are
the very ones whom the rings have knocked
out. See Window. Gilman and Gibbs
1t is really too bad that the ringstershave
made no capital out of the strike Even
the Democratic business men heartily stand
/ by Ames.
If Pillsbury and Fletcher can elect Nc
more. What then becomes of the needed
reforms?
1t is all very well to abuse DR.. Ames. and
say he is supported by the saloons, but its
amazing how some of these Republican
| howIers do drink
If $500 majority comes in the spring,
how much more may we not expect In the
fall?
The important question to the people of
the Eighth ward is, shall we ride on the
