spend the last few daysof the campaign
is telling the people of the Third con-
gressional district all about free trade,
but he has nary word to say about his
/ record IN Washington.
The reception rendered Hon. Edmund
Rice a few evenings ago on his return
from Washington, was a fitting tribute
OF respect and esteem to an honorable
and worthy official. Mr.. Rice has the
confidence of his constituents, and his
election will be nothing more than he
de serves.

The local Republicans were very con-
fdent some four weeks ago that they
would carry the city without an effort.
They have been taking it easy'' ever
since the city convention. except in a
few cases, and the result is the Demo
Gratis have done some fine work. The
Republicans will try to undo it, but it
is too late. ..
Desperate efforts are being made to
defeat Hon. E. Nj. Wilson, but they
will prove useless. The people, and not
the politicians, are running this cam.
paign, and they will not resign until
the afternoon of November 9Th.
An effort has been made to appease
the wrath of the laboring men against
Judge of Probate Won Schlegel who
seemed to care very little about the la
boring classes some time ago, but now
realizes that their good will is worth
hearing. AS it is all for political pur
poses il will do the judge no good now;
it is too late.

Capt. Babb's record in the city coun-
Gil seems to be heavy weight round
his neck Just now. The Republicans
realize, but alas too late that they
nominated a weak man. Mr.. Winston
will carry the city by a handsome ma
jority without much trouble,

The feeling that prevails throughout
| the state in favor of E. NJ. Wilson's
election is nowhere SC strong as in Hen
nepin county. If the election were to
come off now Mr.. Wilson would carry
this county as we'll as the state by a
handsome majority. The situation has
greatly alarmed the Republican county
ticket, and desperate efforts are being
made by tina committee to defeat the
Democratic nominees. 1t is not very
likely however that these efforts will
be successful. Special attention is
being paid to Sheriff Swenson's case
No one cap say that he has used his
Office for political advancement; he has
been one Of the best sheriffs that the
county ever had. No complaints ever
came from the inmates of the county
Jail against his treatment of them as
did during the terms OF Office OF many
of his predecessors. He did not line
his pockets at the expense Of these I'm
fortunate prisoners as did the kepnb}i"
can sheriffs, when they were in office
His record is without a stain, and his
election means another JWo years Of
strict attention to business. The Re
publicans are trying to defeat him, but
all good citizens will not forget him on
election day. Mace Eustus, who is the
nominee for register of deeds has been
identified with the Democratic party
fer many years in this city. He should
get the full support of his party, and
will no doubt catch many Republican
votes besides. Titus Mareck, president
of the city council, who is on the ticket
for clerk Of the courts, is well qualified
for the place. His experience in the
city council has qualified him for the
Office for which he is nominated. Not
a word can be said against him as an
official or citizen. His election is as
sured. Judge Quinn will be tbs next
Judge of Probate. He is backed by the
entire Democratic party and the labor
ing element. which IS very strong. No
one deserves an election better than he.
When there was but little hope for the
party's success in this city Judge Quinn
was to be found fighting for Democracy.
| He is qualified for the place and this is
the best endorsement any candidate
can have. The people OF Hennepin
comfy will have reason to congratulate
| themselves on his election. County
Commissioner A, T.. Lennon will be
elected as he was two years ago. Ho
is in sympathy with labor, and this is
