The Congressional Outlook.
What Our Exchanges Say.

harmony prevail in the western coun-
ties of the district and an organization
effected whereby Mr.. Wakefield's sue
cessor shall be western man. 1t. can
and should be done. The west end
embraces.a larger area, contains more
people, and is much newer country
than the east end; and will have the
delegates to control the convention and
name the nominee.
This is not urged merely for fight
with the eastern counties, or because
they do not contain men of ability, but
on the grounds that Southwestern Min
nesota has never been represented on
the State or Congressional ticket. The
line has always been drawn at Blue
Earth county. That county has had
honors enough and should now stand
back and give others chance.
Mankato Free Press:-The New Ulm
Revieav hoists the name of Hon. John
Lind for congress. The RevieV has
certainly hit upon a creditable candi-
date, and with all due Difference to the
claims Of our neighbor we rise to re-
mark that Blue Earth county has three
frst-class men, any one OF whom would
be credit to the district as represen-
tative, and we feel as though our coun.
ty is entitled to the toga.
Tracy Trumpet:-He who would &C
curately forecast the political horoscope
needs to be gifted with supernatural
prescience. Candidates are gradually
falling into line and very probable be-
fore the fall fight comes off the ranks
will be well filled. Hon. John Lind is
the last one heard of who announces
himself as candidate for Congress.
He is young man having the liking
and respect Of all who know him and
he will receive large and hearty sup
port in his trial for the office. Il
elected he will undoubtedly make an
earnest and efficient man for the place,
while whether elected or not, any can.
vass into which he enters may be set
down as cred hot one. Our senti-
ments, regarding Mr.. Lind, are clear
echo of the New Ulm Reviea0 item.
St. Peter Trlbune:-W are informed
! ~ ~ If A." l-o
field to stand for a denomination, Hon.
John Lind has determined to enter the
list as full-fedged candidate for con-
gress. Mr.. Lind is a young man Of
! unusual promise and has the ability tc
fill the position with credit to himself
and the district.
Sleepy Eye Herald:-We wish Mr..
Lind's friends the greatest success in
his campaign From personal &C
quaintance with him for many years
we know him to be well worthy of the
honor and capable of representing the
district with credit to himself and his
constituents in case he is elected.
If a Republican is to be elected, as
doubtless will be the case, there is nc
one whom we shall be better pleased te
see elected than Mr.. Lind.
81 Tracy Republican;-As lawyer he
(Lind) is amply able to assist in fram
ing laws for our best interests and has
been closely connected with agricultur
lists throughout the district. We be
lieve him to be as we'll, if not better
qualified to legislate for their benefit
than any other man in the district.
Lake Benton News:-We believe We
voice the sentiment of the Republican
party of Lincoln county in stating tina
Mr.. Lind is practically the unanimous
choice of the party. The time has ar
rived when the western part of the dis
trict will be able to nominate the can
didate owing to the number of aspirant
in the eastern portion, not allowing :
united support for any lone aspirant
We believe Mr.. Lind can go into thu
convention supported by Lyon, Lin
coin, Lac qui Parle, Yellow Medicine
Murray, Cottonwood, Sibley, Walton
won and Brown counties, with but lit
tie effort, and we see no reason VIII,
his nomination cannot be accomplished
on the first ballot
4 Redwood Gazette:-The New Uln
RevieaU for this week settles the ques
ton by announcing that Mr.. Lind il
now candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress in this district
AS a lawyer Mr.. Lind has few equal
in the district, and the RevieaO is o
opinion that his legal talents would b
q great lever to right the wrongs of tn
laboring classes. Perhaps so, but tn
laboring classes will hardly forget tina
legal talent has had something to d
