CLEYELIND AND Reform.
The S~candinavians of the Northwest
Have Given in Their Adhesion.

Have Given in Their Adhesion.
L. J. Helm, special correspondent OF the
Svenska Folkets ridning, published at
Minneapolis, Mimi, is in the city, and
called at The MINER Office yesterday. Mr..
Helm has Travelled extensively over the
Northwest, and especially over his "
State, and brings the pleasing assurance
that large Democratic gains will be notice
able over the entire section OF country be-
tween the Mississippi and the Pacific
coast. Ia Minnesota, especially, has a
great revolution taken place, and the gem
tleman u~nhesitatirgly gives it as his opin-
ion that the State will give Cleveland
tariff reform. The Scandinavian pop
ulation OF the State, upon which
heretofore the Republican party has always
relied for its maiorities, is almost solidly
for tariff reform while the Scandinavian
press is also seconding the movement in
the heartlest possible manner. As a result,
Mr.. Helm says the Republican leaders are
trying hard, but in vain, to stem the tide
OF popular feeling and are leaving nothing
undone that will in the least avert their
downfall now staring them in the lace.
The Svenska Amerikaner, published at
Chicago, formerly always q Republican
organ, announced itself at the beginning of
the campaign in favor OF Cleveland and re-
form. To avert the results which threat
ened in consequence, managers Of the Re-
publican party in some way obtained a
controlling interest of the stock OF the com
pany publishing the paper, and their first
move was to GUST the old management and
again place the A~merikaner in the ranks OF
the Swedish Republican papers.
The paper which Mr.. Helm represents
has always been strongly Republican but
now champions a reform tariff as against
| protection.

I deny as false, and il these reverend gen.

these charges. | ask them to name the

"Whereas, he claims to be a member of

brothers ever asked me for any evidence OF

Then l am charged with abusing the
ministers OF the gospel. This is false.
