that many of the governors friends
were such only for the offices they
fondlY expected to get from him. The
offices did not hold out. and many of
them went into the hands of those who
were not friends during the campaign.

There cannot be doubt about the

in the city and country. The only OBJ
lection to be urged against the system
is the well-known American failing of
being WaSteful and careless of things
purchased by the government. Mr..
Hester meets this objection by suggest
ing that each district levy a special tax

A petition has been, or soon will be.
presented to Gov. Merriam asking for
the pardon of Bob Younger, who is
dying with consumption in the Still

which history would eventually indorse.

that Blue Earth county's crop record
for 1889 will be away beyond the aver
age. and that the farmers are already

in which he treated of the Louisiana
purchase, and paid tribute to Thomas
Jefferson for his far-Sighted statesman
ship in adding this great territory to the
Union, is troubling the minds of nu-
merous little editors whose knowledge

little editors, to overshadOw every merit
of Jefferson's, and to condemn him for
ever.-Sleepy Eye Herald.

of at least 2o6.054! What strange
change has come Ger the spirit of his
