AMONG OUR NEIaHBoRs.
Glencoe Enterprise: McGILL seems to b.
the coming man.

Glencoe Enterprise: McGIIL seems to be
the coming man.
Madelia Times: The Globe tries to fer
ment discomfort by saying that the
newspapers of this district express dis
satisfaction to the nomination of Mr..
Lind. As Iar as we have noticed we can
declare the Globes assertion untrue. No
such feeling has been seen.
Glencoe Enterprise: Col. JOSEPH Bon
LETTER of New Ulm seems to be the
leading candidate for State Treasurer.
that his opposition is likely To dwindle
to nothing before the state convention
meets. Capt. Braden for state auditor
Is also likely to have nearly clean field.
lie Sueur NeWs:-Did you ever pick up
a paper published ut strange town and
see II large, SNOWY advertisement with
out thinking to yourself, or saying to
your neighbor "That man must be doing
an immense business" or forming res
olution to visit that firm at the first OPP
portunity? There is nothing like it and
when you put advertisements in paper
don't imagine that you have donated 50
much in charity to the editor.
Sleepy Eye Herald: A couple of ladies
from town went down To the Cottonwood
river to bathe few days ago and while
III the water one of them stepped off in
to deep hole. She did what ever y
other woman would have done under
the circumstances, she screamed. or
rather tried to scream, and as result
she swallowed about II pailful of water.
Fortunately her companion got hold of
her and pulled her out.
| ADRIAN Guardian: One of our farm er
friends suggested n matter to us the 9TH
er day that we want to call to our farm
er readers attention to. He said, adj
wise farmers when stacking to stack east
and west, SO that when thrashing time
comes the machine, and especially Il
steamer, can be set either east or west,
as the winds invariably blow from north
good one, and adyise our farmers to
heed it.
JdnespiHe argus: The logic used by
Gov. Child would make horse laugh.
He says i'm substance that the Prohi-
bitionists propose to prohibit person
from making, buying, selling or giving
away whisky, but that they won't inter
fere with his drinking, if he can get it.
Brilliant idea! He can neither make it,
buy it, sell nor give it away, but still he
times day. If the crudite quintessence
of prohibition has conferred in Gov.
Childs' brain, o! Lord, deliver us!
FdirmOm Sentinel: Hon. A. X. McGill
State insurance commissioner, editor OF
the st. Peter Tribune, and candidate foi
governor, spent last Friday in Fairmont
visiting friends and forming new ac.
quaintances. He also recalled the scenes
of thirty-three years ago when he was
orderly sergeant of company of sol
} diers stationed ut Fairmont to defend
the then frontier against the attack OF
the red man. On the Fourth of July
1868, Mr.. McGIll read the declaration OF
Independence at celebration held IL
, the grove south of town near Capt
Budd's residence. There were abOu
100 soldiers present at the celebration
and u couple dozen settlers-about al
the county contained at that time.
81. Peter Herald: Peter G.. Peterson
; living near the village of Nicollet. wa
quite loser on Thursd y. Mr.. Peter
= son was cutting grain, and having fou
horses hitcled to his binder, in turnin,
corner his horses became terribl,
frightened and started to run, but wer,
: checked in the flight before they ha,
/, gone far. He just quoted them dowr
to an even gate when they were agaiI
!, started by the same cause and this tim
l succeeded in resisting the efforts of tn
: driver to stop them, and tore around TIN
e field in their mad flight. The drive
, succeeded in getting off the binder with
out injury, and the horses finally ran il
the barnyard, making total wreck @
the machine. Mr.. Peterson went i'm
0 mediately to Mankato to purchase an
e other machine.
Rochester Post: The Albert Lea STAND
: ard, the home organ of Candidate-foI
s Governor Gibbs, is after OpposItion-to
f Gibbs-C andidate-fo McGil
. i'm an editorial charging McGill with be
ing the candidate of the Minneapoli
Y Millers' Association and basing il
v charge on the fact that Fletcher, @
p Minneapolis, is helping McGill.
Tho charge might be good one
there was anything III II, DuJ McGlI
y who is not liar, says there is no basl
r whatever for it, and that Fletcher's sup
9 port of him is the result of IL friendshi
many years older than the Millers' AS
P ISOLATION.
Y As the Standards only fact in the cas-
: seems to be that Mr.. McGlll has tn
. support of friend who is not the Stand
arts friend, it would seem to amour
y to saying that a candidate must nc
: have any friends who are not on
G friends. We could never elect Coy
crnor under such rule as that.
