ST. CLOUD, Oct. Gothic court room was
packed last night to hear the speech Of ex-
Lieut. Gov. C. A. Gilman relative TO the charges
that W. h. Merriam. Republican candidate for
Governor. secured his nomination through the
use of money. Mr. Gilman said:
The charge is being made all over the State
that the nomination Of the Republican candi-
date for Governor was procured by the corrupt
use OF money. 1t il asserted that the nomins-
tion was procured BY lavish and corrupt use
OF money, both at the Convention and preced-

whether or not il is true am not going to say
now-that for year previous to the Conven

paying oAt large sums Of money throughout
wards TO County Conventions and to the State
Convention. 1t is asserted that at the State
Convention delegates; who we're sent there to

they were sent there to do. and by the liberal
for the candidate who was nominated.
1t is asserted Tint the system was whole

desirable; that whole delegations were con-
verted and that the obligations Of instructions

bic to the naked eye, have been made 70 change

thing about this Industrious force is that many
OF the men have been engaged in that work
SINCE early in July.
Warner Miller's canvass grows apace, and
those who have followed him through the State
are so impressed by the effect Of his speeches
wave will suit them. Though the Republican
party stands before the people as united to
remarkable degree. 1t Is nevertheless a fact
that many prominent men continue TO drop IN
at tho state Headquarters and say that though
they are heart and soul for the whole ticket
they are especially interested In Warner Miller
and the canvass for clean government and pro-
tscted homes. Mr.. Miller will be here again on
Thursday afternoon. He spoke last night in
Schenectady and tonight he will address a
great meeting in Hoosick Falls. When he
comes here on Thursday 1t will be to stay here

proaches to the city by means OF bridges
across the river. Does the city need
more? In late Ssue Of your paper 1t
was stated that the bridge in contempla

100000. Is this SOP, In matters Of this
kind 1t is best to observe the cid maxim ::
'Festins lente" (hasten sloWly.) II is
said that the grade from the bridge up

increased traffic. The approach from the
bridge below the waterworks to West
Belkncp and Westherford streets is COM
paratively easy or can be mide so.

afford ample room, and it could be made

requirements Of the city and county, and

of the county and city. II the bridge Is
