OUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Editors of the TRANSCRIPT.
It Is pleasure to Republicans of this
County that our Convention acted so
wisely in its selection of Candidates for
County offices. This is evident from
the fact Of the cordial and hearty support
they are. one and all. receiving. We are
to, be congratulated too upon so very
practical and wise choice as was made
In the Nomination of Mr.. Joseph Adams
as commissioner for this District. HIS
thorough personal pratical knowledge
of;thejrequirements of the position renders
him.of all others. the man for the position.
We know that in the most important
matters of mechanism the judgement of
Mr.. Joseph Adams is relied upon by our
closest figuring business men, and it IS
safe to say the Office of commissioner for
this Dictrict will be in the safest and
most prudent hands with the election Of
Mr.. Adams. .ss,. 49,.

THE VOICE OF GEN. SHERMAN.

Gen. w. T. Sherman is not partisan.
He is wholly a soldier and patriot. He
is the last of the three great generals who
led the nation safely through the war of
the rebellion. His countrymen should
attach weight to what he says. His arti'
Gle in the North American Review for
October "Old Shady with Moral, IS a
warning the American people should
heed. He says:
What is the use of shutting our eyes
to u we'll known fact? We did So from
1850 to 1860 and have paid the penalty.
The next war may be avoided by reason
of common sense and if can help to
past victories and triumphs. say to the

vote honestly. 1t will not disturb, but
on the contrary, will hasten your prosper.

A Wilson Charge Against NJ. II.
Dunnell Refuted.

ouuu0l4 6to1uIous
Judge Wilson and the St. Paul Daily
Globe have again and again said that Mr..
Dunnell has been N. P. r. r. lobbyist
ever since he left Congress. Aside from
the fact that he has not been in Washing
ton every session, the following letter Is
published to show how false is the charge
of Judge Wilson. The original of the
following letter is in the hands OF Henry
Birkctt, Chairman Of the Republican
Congressional Committee:
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD Co.
Secretarys Office.
NEW YORK. Oct. 90. 1888.
Hon. Mark II. DunHell,
Owatonna, Minn.,
My Dear Sir: am informed that the
Hon. Thomas Wilson. Democratic candi.
date for Congress in your state, publicly
urges as an objection to your candidacy,
that you haye been employed ever since
you LETT Congress as lobbyist in Wash
ington for this corporation.
l am surprised that Mr.. wilson ShOuld
make this statement, for it is utterly un-
true.
l think that IN the 10th Congress, and
for four or five months, you were en-
ployed by, and gave assistance to Hon.
L. D. NJ. Sweat, who was then and is
now. this Company's counsel in Wash
ington. But your name has never been
upon the rolls of this corporation as an
employee. Your are not now in its SER
vice, and am not aware that you ever
have been. Yours Respectfully,
SAMUEL WILKEsON,
Secretary.

WE'RE GOING TO WIN.

Fellow Republican, we're going to win
this fight. Why do we say sol Because
we have the best men for our nominees.
Because we plead for protection to
American homes. .'ass.
Because we are the progressive party.
Because the people know that the Re.
publican party, just so rapidly as 1t can
overcome Democratic opposition. always
carries out its promises. Eli -=
But why are we so certain about win
ming? ...-> :~=,..
Because we have 1t direct from men
who ought to know-men who have the
vantage ground to view the situation on
all sidcs-men trained by experience in
past campaigns and know what to expect
in this one-men who hold facts in their
hands; facts not always wise to publish
at once, but upon which they can safely
give tip. to their sentinels.
1t is on the strength of this tip that We
say: We're going to win.
One more point, fellow Republicans:
Don't stop work yet. There's no fear Of
that on the part of the leaders; but we
are speaking now to the rank and file in
the party. Just you 90 and find some
waverlng soul, tell him we're going to
win and ask him to come in out of the
wet. Ten to one he'll come, if you ask
him cordially. Then, with the wavering
souls IN, we'll give Democracy such a
thrashing that 1t won't dare attack our
homes with free trade again in our gen.
etati0n.
Let's make November the Appomat-
tex of free trade.

WINDOM ON DUNNELL.
He Says He Earnestly Desires His Success
In The First District

He Says He Earnestly Desires His Success
In The First District.
W1NoNA, Oct. 25.-From private let.
ter written by Hon. VIM. Window. under
date of New York, Oct. 20, the Winona
Republican publishes the following ex.
tract. Mr.. Window is now, and has been
for some time past, speaking for the Re
publican cause in the doubtful states of
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey
under the direction of the National Com
mittee. In his letter he speaks very
hopefully of the Republican prospects,
particularly in the two former states.
With reference to the situation in the
First District of Minnesota, he says:
Inotice, in certain Democratic papers,
intimations that the unfriendlY relations
that have existed between Mr.. Dunnell
and myself, are counted upon to lnflu-
ence some of my friends to withhold
from him their support. If any Demo
cratic hopes are based upon the disloyal-
ty of my friends, or myself, to the Re-
pointed. To the courage, wisdom and
patriotism of that party is due the fact
that we are today nation greater and
more prosperous than any on earth. Mr..
Dunnell is the nominee of that party for
Congress, and, therefore, for the time be-
ing a representative OF it's principles.
The success of the party, and of it's
principles, is far more important than any
mere personal considerations earnest
lY desire Mr.. Dunnell's success in this
contest, and hope and believe that my
friends will give him their support, I
have been hoping to SO arrange my busi-
ness engagements as to return and do
some active work in our state, but the
national committee insist upon my giving
as much time as possible to the doubtful
states. I am glad to know that Mlnneso-
ia is not included in that list.

Our POstR! Service.


present time is not unlike that common
reference to horses in Iceland. Com.
plants, so long and loud, come from all
parts of the country that it can scarcely
be said that we have any postal service
at all.
The Republican party, during its rule
from 1861 to 1885, devised the greatest
improvements in mail facilities this or
any other country. 1t took the service
from Democratic hands when it was very
much like the national treasury-remark-
able chiefly for what there wasn't in it.
During four years Of war it was lmpossi.
BILE to make much headway. The party
was then busy fighting Democrats in its
front and dough faces in its rear.
From 1865 to 1883, Republican man
agement, foresight and economy, perfec-
ted the registry system, 50 that instead
of it being in danger from death at Demo
cratic hands, because it called attention
to valuable mail which was sure to be
stolen, 1t was made to cover all classes of
mailable matter. Republican manage
ment inaugurated the free-delivery sys-
tenn; the fast mail system, the postal card
and the special delivery system. 1t
cheapened letter postage from five cents
half ounce to two cents an ounce. And
it reduced the newspaper rate to the low
price of one cent per pound, thus render
ing almost vital service to the era of
cheap but good reading and contributing
enormously to the popular education and
intelligence of the people. '.,.
But reform Democratic admins
tratlon came into power in 1885, and not
only was there no advance, no improve
ment. no reform, but almost every step
taken by Republicans has been nullif1ed,
until the service(O has become synony-
nous with slowness, with unrellabllitY,
with ineff1ciency. 1t were bad enough to
see experienced men put out to make
room for inexperienced ones, merely be-
cause the former were Republicans and
the latter Democrats. for Mr.. Cleveland
stood against such thing. 1t has long
been apparent. however, that his word is
| not to be relied on. ...
But it was infinitely worse to see Union
soldiers pitched into the street to make
room for Confederates. 1t was worse
still to see the character of the Northern
ers who we're promoted, in many cases,
to one-legged soldiers places. The pos
tai service. IN its best places, has been
flied with ward bummers and political
healers. 1t is 50 in every large city. It
is SO in every small city. Nor is that all.
In hundreds of instances, forgers, embez-
zlers, thieves, defaulters, blackmailers
and jail-birds generally have been placed
IN positions of trust. And this has been
done by President Cleveland personally,
by Mr.. Villas and by Mr.. Dickinson, after
they had been fully informed of the ap-
pointee's character. +.
There is no dodglng this record. Any
one who doubts it has only TO read otf1c-
ial statements IN evidence. Will the peo-
ple vote to continue such record?
We rather think not.
