| We have it from the best authority
that Col. Merriam has formed no COM
bination with any one. We believe If
the people of this state want Mr.. Mer-
riam for governor he can be induced t.
| accept the nomination, but outside Of
this he is not pooling with any one;
This suits us.-Lake Crystal Union.

1t is reported that d. M. Sabin is now
! home fixing up the back fences to re-

Joel Heatwole. of the Mortified News,

| the eyes of the McGill backers.-Litch-
field News-Ledger.
Gov. McGill is not the man to nomi-

list of eligible candidates.-Wright

We shall be sorry for the alliance if
false friends put it in the attitude of
even seeming to prefer w. r. Merriam,
| to character like Scheffer'S, so exactly
| in their spirit. And as to party eXpe-
diency itself, we will say this: that in

Mayor Ames will no doubt again head
| the Democratic ticket for governor of
Minnesota. Now let the Republicans
put up McGill if they dare. Ames was
elected the last time, bat was counted
out. it will not be so this time. The
figures will be too much in his favor,
and the counting OUT business will
not work so well. We are for Ames,
first, last and all the time.

McGill seems bound to keep On fool
ing around the political buzz saw, just
