The Close Of the Campaign.

The Close Of the Campaign.
Before the next Review is issued the
present political campaign will be over.
The election will have determined the
verdict of the people, and, while in
some places the outcome may be doubt
full, in the state at large the Republic
cans are sure to meet with great sue
cess. Every day is adding strength to
the Republican side and it only re-
mains a question now as to the size of
the majority.
AS this is our last issue before cleo
ton, we desire to say few more
words IL regard to the candidates.
Mr.. Merriam, the Republican candi-
didate for governor, has in one term
given us clean, creditable, manly and
business like administration. His mis-
takes have been but few as compared
with those who have gone before him,
and his official acts have as a rule been
wise and in the interests OF the state.
If elected for another term, we know
we can depend upon him. How is it
with the other man, Mr.. Wilson, His
reputation as railroad lawyer and as
a corporation legislator has already
been set forth in these columns. We
only ask you to recall what has been
said, and cast your vote accordingly. In
Brown County we are confident that
the Republicans and others will show
their good sense by voting for Merriam
and carrying the county in his favor.
The rest of the state ticket we need
not refer to. It contains men of ability
and integrity, and, among them, that
plain and honest fellow citizen, Col.
Bobleter. All of them will well repay
your votes by making faithful and eff
cient servants of the state.
Mr.. Lind, the candidate for congress,
is entitled to reelection. In spite of
what bitter antagonists have said
against him, he has served his district
we'll and we believe honestly and con-
sistently. He will not only receive the
vote of his own party, but also large
complimentary vote from members of
other parties who prefer to vote for him
to voting for a man like Baker.
The other legislative offices are as.
pired to by Messrs. S. D. Peterson
and H. M. Ball. The record of Mr..
Peterson, when in the senate before, is
we'll known to the people of Brown
county. He made an influential men,
Der then and would do so again if cleo.
ted, which he undoubtedly will be.
Another very important reason for vot-
ing for him is the fact that the senator
elected this year will have voice in
the election of United States senator
two years from now. AS everybody in
these parts wants to see G. X. Davis re-
turned, all should see that man goes
from here who will vote for that bril-
liant friend of the people. Peterson
has pledged himself to do so, but Meth
er Baker, the Redwood Falls miller,
nor Stewart, the prohibition agitator,
have. Then see that your ticket in
cludes the name of Mr.. Peterson.
Mr.. Ball, the candidate for Represen.
tative is a good Republican. At the
same time he is man of honor, and
all this talk about his being friend to
this section or friend to that is with.
oat foundation. If elected, he will be
the representative of Brown County as
whole and of nothing else. In all his
former official acts he has been upright
and honest. His reputation for honor
is getting to be proverbial, and Repub.
llcans can give him their votes, resting
assured that he will represent them to
the best interests of the county.
Concerning the candidates for county
Offices, we haven't the space to 90 into
detail. We have recommended them
all heretofore, as worthy of generous
support, and will do so again. All Of
them deserve to be elected.
And now in conclusion we would say
to the Republicans of Brown County,
stand by your colors. This, if any, is
the year in which to win. By united
action we can accomplish the desired
end, and should not neglect to do GU,
duty as members of a great and glori
Gus party. Once more we say, 60 in tc
win.
An opinion in politics, that comes
from a man, who is aloof and away
from the heated excitement of cam.
paign, is always valuable. It shows
fairness and honesty and lacks the col.
or Of partisanship. The following
