"Just Before the Battle" /"

This is the last issue of the TRI-
BUNE before the great political battle,
which comes off on Tuesday next.
Republicans, are you ready7 If not,
see to it at once. Have your forces
well supplied with tickets-ammuni-
ton which is as effective in political
battle as podwer and bullets in the
battle where lives are at stake. Throw
out line of skirmishers on the morn
of the battle; let the line of battle
follow, and when the enemy's skirm-
ishers are driven in, make the grand
charge all along the line, with no fall
ling back until the enemy's works are
carried.
Well have 'em on the run, sure,
long before the sun goes down on the
4th. There are already positive
evidences of weakening and any
number of deserters from the ranks
of our opponents have come in and
joined our forces, and more are com
ing. Oh, we've got 'em sure. That
the entire Republican county ticket
will be elected by fair majority we
have not the least doubt, neither
would any other man doubt it, if he
was in possession of the information
that we are.

OPERATORS WALK OUT.
The Night Force of the Western Union at
Gf panI Omit In m Rndv

The Night Force of the Western Union at
st. Paul Quit In q Body.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 27.-The trouble be-
tween the Western Union Telegraph
company and its operators eliminated
at p. M, when nearly the whole of the
night force left their desks in q body
and marched down stairs. This sudden
and somewhat unexpected action was
brought about by the discharge of four
more of the brotherhood men. AS soon
as this action on the part of the company
was known the operators decided upon
instant action, and at o'clock, as
stated, all members of the brotherhood
Left Their Keys and Walked Out.
They seemed to be certain of winning
their case, which was that the discharged
men should be reinstated.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to the strike, even among the
friends of the operators, some thinking
it ill-advised. Nearly all the night men
are members of the Brotherhood, but
very few Of the day operators belong to
1t. Quite a number Of the day men
were at once called upon and went to
work at night, SO that the company was
not greatly inconvenienced.

Statistics as to Its Prevalence as Given by
the Government Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Advices re-
reived by the marine hospital bureau

gaski, Japan, reports 1895 new cases Of

Meskene and Aleppo.
Advices from Spain state that the
cholera epidemic continues, but its
presence in Barcelona is not officially
confirmed.
Reports from Abyssinia say that the
epidemic is intense in the localities oc-
cupied by Italian troops, and at Masso-
wah about sixty deaths occur daily
from the disease.
Reports from Russia state that the
actual presence of cholera is not reported
but some cities in the south are suspected
but nothing definite is known.
Reports from France state that the
sanitary condition is very satiissffasctt
ard and fiO cases of colera have been re-
ported. The report of Italy states that
according to information received from
private sources many fatal cases of
cholera have occurred in Venice. The
Italian government has deferred the re-
turn of troops from the Red Sea colonies.
Advices from Constantinople say that
the late cholera reports are very un-
favorable and show that the epidemic is
Increasing in extent and intensity. The
appearance of the disease at Aeppo, TO
which place it was imported from Mes
kene, is very serious. On Sept. II and
10 nine deaths are reported out of fifteen
cases.

Hon. S. G.. Comstock, member Of
congress for the 9Th Minnesota dis
trict, was born in Penobscot county,
Maine, in 1882, and is in his 4oth
wear. He was educated in the COM
mon schools and in the Wesleyan
seminary of Maine. He also attended
the university of Michigan at Ann
Arbor, having left Maine in 1868, and
emigrated into the far west to carve
out fame and fortune. His father
was a farmer and lumberman, and
the sen assisted him in that business
while at home. Before leaving his
native state Mr.. Comstock studied
law in the office of Judge Humphrey
at Bangor, and completed his legal
studies in the Michigan university.
After leaving the university he went
to Omaha, and was admitted to the
bar in 1870. Here he practiced one
year and then went to Minneapolis,
where he remained, however, only six
or eight months, and studied law in
the office of D. A. Secombe, Esq.
About this time the settlement of the
Red River valley was beginning to
set in, and he joined the throng that
westward took It's way to carve out
the empire of state. He arrived at
the spot that now has the distinction
of calling him a resident -Moorhead
in the fall of 1871. He was poor,
but full of vigor, hope and talents.
He opened a law Office, and was
shortly appointed by the board of
county commissioners county at
torney, which office he held and per-
formed it's exacting duties with great
ability, honesty, and success for six
years. He dropped out of active
practice of law in 1884, his
real estate business and Legislative
duties taking up his entire time. In
1880 he formed partnership with A.
A. White, Esq, to deal in real estate
townsites, and the firm has met with
unqualified success.
His Legislative service commenced
in 1875, he having been returned by
the people to the lower house of the
Minnesota legislature, and he has
been elected to the house or senate
at every election since except in 1878,
when he declined to run. He served
In the house until 1888, when he was
gomoted to the senate, in which body
he has served three sessions, viz;18S3,
l1ss5 and 1897, and had the session of
1889 before him, making in all four
teen years of Legislative service. He
early took a leading position in the
house, and has been invariably con-
nected with prominent committees,
and as matter of course prominent
| " identified with the most vital legis-
lative questions and enactments of
the day. At the last session he was
chairman of the Judiciary committee
of the senate, the leading committee.
He was also chairman of the temper
ance committee, and was a member of
the railroad, normal school and pub
| lie school committees. He assisted
largely in forming the railroad bill
that passed in 1885. In 1882 he was
made by his friends a candidate for
attorney general and only lacked
three votes of nomination. In 1884
he was was made candidate for the
place. He has frequently been mem
toned for governor.
In 1874, Mr.. Comstock was married
to Miss Sarrh Ball of Minneapolis.
They have three children, two bright
girls and bouncing big baby boy,
who is the pride of hisfather's as we.
as mothers heart.

It is undoubtedly true that l.. E.
