contemplate on the eve of election. 1t is
well that our friends be prepared to meet
the unjust and unfounded attacks con-
templated by the opposition.
THE Republican platform proposes a
distinctly American policy; not one of
narrowness and bigotry, but one broad
and philanthropic-a policy that best
helps the whole world by the example of
a great, growing, powerful nation,
founded on the. equality of every man
before the law.
1t is for the American people to devel-
OPP and cultivate the continent to which,
in the providence of God, they have falle1,
heirs. They should adopt policy
which looks steadily to this great end.
With no spirit of narrowness toward
other people, but rather in the highest
interest of all, they should find under
their own flag field of imitless advance
IN the direction of the improvement, the
prosperity and the happiness of man.
MoRToN's LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
ROGER =. MILLS is quoted verbatim
from his recent St. Louis speech:
"If Grover Cleveland is reelected presi-
dent of the United States-as he will be a
voice lie will that']; if another Demo-
cratic house OF representatives is chosen,
and ii we can get our republican friends |
out Of the other end Of the capitol and
get democrats in place of them, then we
will pass tariff bill that puts raw ma
terials. all on the free list, and then we
will put our own intelligent and skiIlful
and productive laborer of this country
upon plane of equality with the labor
ers of all other countries"
Mr.. Mills told the truth. Putting
American labor on a plane Of equality |
with labor of other countries is exactly
what we don't propose to do.

IT is charged that William R. Merriam
is rich man and ought no. to be gov
ernor. Well, Eugene M. Wilson is man |
Of wealth, honestly acquired in the prac-
ticc Of law, but is he disqualified by reas-
on of having brains enough to make
money. Mr.. Donnelly has made money !
out of Bacon-does that render him |
worthless as candidate for governor? !
There are set OF Gemagogues who think
that the state should select it's candidates |
src1n the almshause. They consider that
wealth and dishonesty are synonymous
terms. No man can be rich and honest |
Well, they are welcome to their cheerful |
views. caly it will be well to keep an eye
upon such people. One who doubts ev-
cry body's integrity will bear a little
watching.
THE republican party in Minnesota
offers ticket for the support OF the peo-
pie which is not only clean, but is conf
posed of ll,ct select ed for especial fitness.
William Z. Merriam is a ,ll;,n of rare eE-
ectttivc ability as manifested il al his |
business Affairs, both private and public
lie has r@:.t Up 4 magnificent trln2i,l!
Institution, which stands very hig! in I'll"
c0nlnerc:ai world, lie took hold Of The |
dclncra!;>:cd and practically wrecked AZ
I;c1:ltur;si society and made Il & brilliant |
s;lcceGs, and in January next he will take
hold of state affairs as chief executive.

! Harrison and Morton stand for every
thing in public and private Lille worthy of
emulation and confidence. Personal char
acter and public services find in them ex-
er,plifca{ions of which no one need be
| ashamed. Parents, had you to select
either Harrison OR Cleveland as pattern
for your boys both in public and private
life, how long would you hesitate' Not
| one instant.
THE report has gained currency that
Col. Bridgnan is about to remove to
Little Falls with his family. There is
not word of truth in it, and this very
thin and transparent story is being In,
dustrionsly circulated through the dis
trict for political effect. Col. Bridgman
