alleges that he owes S24S for back sub
scription on that paper.


ScriptiOn on that paper.
Preston Times: Out of 143 editors in
this state only twenty-eight are in favor
of McGill. House File No 157 is coming
home to rOOst. The Republican party
ought to see the handwriting on the
wall, and avoid the fatal mistake of
again endangering its success by plac-
ing him in nomination. From all over
the state there come mutteringS as of
distant thunder, and the political at
mosphere is ripe for a cyclone. AS to
Fillmore county, she was decidedly op-
posed to McGill before the convention
two years ago, while hundreds voted for
him under protest at the polls. The
public opinion of him has not changed
since then, except for the worse, and if
he should once more be thrust upon us
by few would-be leaders and their
hirelings, the chances are that Demo
crat will be sworn in as Minnesota's
next governor. We are anxious to see
whether the dog will wag the tai, or the
tail the dog.
Ortonville Herald-Star: The Moor
head. News and Fergus Falls Journal
positively deny that they have been
.''ixed'' to shout for McGill. They
ought to be given the benefit of the de-
nial, and then they ought to explain the
sudden change of front.
The Red Wing Republican. as it's
name implies, is the organ of the domi-
nant party in Goodhue county, backed
by clear 1,5O0 ito 1880 majority. Re
Gently it divulged very severe criticism
OF Gov. McGill's administration. In this
article it condemns the war made upon
eX-Warden Reed, and referring to the
claim that Warden StOrdOck had i'm
proved the prison fare and reduced the
cost of the prisoners support, it shows
supporting the prison convictS under
Reed was SS0.52 per capita. while under
Stordock 1t was SSS.91, an increase of
$3.50 per prisoner, equivalent to So, ,456.6S
per year. This sum, it claims the state
paid to enable the governor to keep the
indiscreet and indecent promise OF his
friends in this one regard.
Red Wing Republican,: Because the
legislature appropriated, as usual, an
amount far greater than the revenue of
the state would be and now is, and Gov.
McGill had not the nerve to do his duty
and bring the amount within the re-
sources of the treasury by vetOipg those
measures which could best wait, as it
had been necessary for his predecessors
to do and as he ought to have done, but
signed every bill laid before him, the
state, like an embarrassed debtor, has
to have an extension" on its debts.
Gubernatorial jelly, instead of guberna-
tOrial nerve, is what did it.
Cokato Republican: McGill has been
File, Stordock & Co. hanging to his
heels, we think it will take considerable
jockeying to win the race with him.
Fergus Falls Journal: The Brainerd
News severely castigates the Pioneer
Press for misquOting it is order to- in
jure Gov. McGill. The Pioneer Press
has been guilty of misauoting and col
oring quotations from state papers. in
order to create an impression that they
were hostile to Gov. McGill.
Faribault Republican: The papers
that oppose the denomination of Gov.
McGill claim that their opposition is
based upon his unpOpularity. If he is
as they allege, there must
be reason for that unpopularity, but
when they are pressed to state wherein
the people have found him deficient in
the qualifications that 60 to make up
good executive the principal allegation
is that some of his appointments have
not been satisfactory.
Exchange: Col. BObleter received a
letter from Congressman Lind yester-
day saying he had high hopes of the
election of Republican president this
year, but expresses regret at the chaotic
condition of politics in Minnesota. Mr..
Lind has the reputation Of being con-
man, who would not express
an opinion without a reason.
Browns Valley Tribune: Some one
is trying to work up boom for State
Auditor Braden for governor. If Mr..
Braden knows when he is we'll off he
will let the gubernatorial plum severely
alone, as it is prize he can never cap
ture.
