II the Tribune's article on Mr.. uel.
geson does not gain more votes for
Mr.. Giltinan than the free use of the
little brown jug has taken from him
we do not know the voters of Stevens
county as we'll as we think we do.
The republican scramblers for of.
fee in Stevens county can telegraph
their sympathles with Fletcher: they
appear to be in "a HI of a fix"
indeed, Judging from their brazen
solicitation, from door to door, of in
telligent citizens for help to carry
them into office.
On account of the strike by the
switchmen in Minneapolis Mayor
Ames has cancelled his engagements
for the present. The consequence
was that there were many disappoint-
ed ones yesterday who came to town
expecting to hear our next governor
speak. We hope that the big-hearted
doctor will be able to speak to our
citizens before the campaign closes.
The orally" has created a loud cry
for Ames.
The pupils of the High school and
the teachers of the West Side build.
ing have raised fund by subscrip-
ton, which they have judiciously
invested in current periodicals. They
have selected a daily, four weeklies
and monthly. They propose to
keep posted upon current news and
literature. and to furnish a passtime
for odd moments at intermissions.
The public spirit thus manifested is
very comm endable.
Rev. Father Watry has been re-
moved from this parish and given
charge of the Catholic mission at
Brainerd. He departed from Morris
yesterday morning for his new field
of labors; he leaves many friends in
Morris and vicinity whose best
wishes he has wherever he may be.
As pastor of the congregation here
Father Watry will be succeeded by
Rev. Father Gaskell, of Traverse
county, who is an excellent priest
beloved by all the members of his
Traverse county parish. The people
OF this congregation are very well
satisfied with the change.
A meeting of the Ames Club was
held at Berkin's hall last Saturday,
in pursuance to adjournment, and
a lively time was had. Short
speeches were made by President
Christensen, Judge Giltinan, Mr.. C.
P. Maginnis. G. A. Pepper and
others, and each speaker was
heartily applauded. During the
meeting committee was appointed
to receive Mayor Amas on his pro-
posed visit to this city on Wednes-
day. A committee on finance-to
collect enough to defray the ex-
penses of the club necessarily in
curred--was also appointed. The meet
ing adjourned to meet on Wednesday
at 11:30 o'clock a. m.
The genial Randall's advocacy of
Helgeson for auditor at the expense
of the ''carpet-bag" element on his
ticket would indicate a condition of
desperation among the select little
clique. TO the initiated it was known
that one of Mr.. Helgeson's co-work-
ers in days gone by had packed his
''carpet-bag" and invaded us with
the avowed intention of fastening
himself to Office, and that another
stands with his 'scarpet-bag" ready
packed in case of an untoward result
at the election. but nobody thought
Mr.. Randall would have given it
away. They will be obliged to keep
sharp watch on our brainy friend
during the next ten days or there
will be pretty kettle Of fish.
