A LIE NAILED

Hon. a. Il. Mctiill visited ST. Peter
last Saturday, the first time since his
nomination, and in the evening large
number of his friends rendered him Il
most hearty and enthusiastic reception.
Upon this occasion Mr.. Mc,;ill took the
opportunity la nail in most emphatic
manner most outrageous lie-that he is
the candidate of wheat ring. He
spoke rs follows:
This meeting, | take il, is not parti-
san or political, but will he pardoned,
! trust, for making reference i'm mild
way Ia some matters of political bias.
In view of my nomination for the Office
of governor, II was expected that some

this story at rest desire Ia say here at
my old home and Ia my old friends

charge. The only basis for the story is
that some of the delegates who support.

CHICKENS are fast coming home to
roost. The Democrats have been howl
ing themselves hoarse with glee over the
fiction that there exists bitter disaffec-
ton in the Fifth district toward the Re-
publican State ticket. The st. Paul Globt
of Monday had an item i'm it implying
that Hon. 6. q. Hartley was one of the
sO-called sOre-heads. In reply to the
imputatIon Mr.. Hartley says that he il
enthusiastic for McCiill and the whole
ticket, and says, moreover, that, 80 fal
as Duluth and st. Louis county are con
cerned, they will give McGill the largest
majority ever given a Republican candl
date for governor, and that the whole
northern part of the State may be reliet
upon to do its whole duty i'm November
The disaflections, where any exist at all
are rare exceptions, and are offset man,
to one, by Democrats who will not q

majority of any candidate who eve
headed the Republican ticket IN Min

TIE great milling firm of e.. A. Pills
bury * Co. of Minneapolis have within
the past few years divided $l25.OO0 of
profits among their employees in addi-
ton To their regular wages. This is a
| practical illustration of the cooperative
system such as no other establishment
| in the world has voluntarily entered up
on TO like extent or anything approach
ing to it, The present year, however,
has been generally an unfavOrable one
in the business of manufacturing flour,
and the firm named have, as they state,
no profits to divide. In a circular to
their workmen they make the follow
ing frank and in every way honorable
announcements:
| We regret to inform you that we will
| be unable To make a division of profits to
any of our employees for the past business
year. The simple reason is that we have
no profits to divide. We have failed to
receive any returns for our capital inyes-
| ted or for our own hard work and ankle
ty. We are somewhat recompensed, how-
ever, i'm the reflection that most of our
| men have been able to get their wages
promptly and without any reductions
Now what of the future? We hope,
with the aid of the strong arms and en-
| lipbtened brains of our fellow wOrkmen,
| 70 not only receive fair recompense
| for our own work and capital, but 10
have something left over To divide
among orr men, and we hope to make
that division more general than ever
before. Weare very proud that we have
never vet made reduction of wages.
We cannot afford to pay You the wages
we did few years since. Cannot you,
with your increased experience and adj
ditional diligence to our interests, make
your services more valuble to us than
before, and thus restore the equilibrium?
If nj any time you feel that injustice has
been done you, do not be afraid to come
to our office and state your complaints.
Cooperative profits sharing is OH trial at
our mills. Many all over the world are
watching the result. Fellow workmen,
try and realize how much depends on
y0ur intregity and faithfulness.
Commenting upon this statement, Mr..
J. =. McGaughey, Master Workmen of
the Knights of Labor fOrMinnesota, said
at il the most remarkable letter of the
kind eyer heard of. its fair and cor
dial tone is very gratifying"
The great bug-a-boo with the Dem
cratic press of the State against the elect
ion of Hon. A. II. McGill, is BECAUSE ex-
Governor Jno. S. Pillsbury IL chairman
of the Republican State central com
mittee, a man who made Minnesota one
Of the best Governors she ever had, and
a man who is not only honest i'm every
way, but also one who is member of the
greatest milling firms in the world, and
one also who divided $l25.0O0 of profits
among employees in addition To their
regular wages. Ii the Democrats can
get any amount of satisfaction by NAL
Ignlng Gov. Pillsbury they are welcome
to it. He is Il grand good man and
the pessimists who are attacking him
will have the pains for their trouble.
The working men have more than good
reason for standing by him, and in sup
porting the Republican State ticket.

A WORD TO pRoH1B1T1oN1sTs.

The Prohibitionists, or Third party
adherents, have now nm opportunity to
express themselves i'm favor of high Ii
cense, which means the proper regula-
ton of the liquor traffic by supporting
the Republican candidate for governor,
or they have a chance Ia show their de-
sire for free rum and the "wide open"
policy by supporting the prohibition
ticket, which adds just so much strength
TO the Democratic party. For the ben
fit of some of our prohibition friends,
we extract from the st. Paul Pioneer Press
the following brief remarks taken from
an address delivered by DIR. :. q. Smith
at Il meeting of the ministers association
held in st. Paul Monday morning. The
subject was upon "The Present Political
Phases of the Temperance Question" in
the course of which he said:
"The demand for high license is not Il
sanction of II new horror i'm the world
but the practical curtaiing of IN old evil.
| In the domain of affairs we must do the
hest we can under the circumstances.
There liz no other Issue on the temper

nesota to-day but the choice between re-
striction by high license and local option
and free rum. For myself, ! shall sup.

agreement that the Republican part
