The campaign of Misrepresentation
and deliberate falsehood which the
Ramsey county Republicans are making
has disglsted not only the indie
pendent and Democratic citizens of
the county. but also all de-
cent Republicans. and it Will be
passing strange if the returns on the
night OF election day do not demonstrate
that the mass of the voters of ST. Paul
aud Ramsey county have no use for the
men who are trying to foist them
selves upon the people through
such means. Every scare head nailed
over campaign lie in the recognized
organ of the Republican machine will
cost the Republican nominees a large
number of votes. The voters of Ram
sey county are neither fools nor imbe-
Giles, aud they know campaign lie. es-
pecially when it is given to the world
through the columns of the evening
anti-kid organ.
The total disregard which this paper
has for facts was shown in the special
legislation leader published last even
point against Assessor Harroun and
Auditor KAN. the date of the
supreme court decision in the
Holman Murray quo warranto
proceedings was coolly and deliberately
miSStated. That decision was matte in
June, 1889, by Judge Collins, and not in
June, 1887. As far as the city as
sesor is concerned. the 5000 clerk
hire there referred to was paid
over before Mr.. Harroun entered
office, and none has been paid out for
that purpose during his term. Thus it
will be seen that, were it considered
worth while, the total faiSity of the
Misrepresentation of this organ as to
political matters can be demonstrated
with little trouble. But as long as it
of scare heads it is doing a good enough
work fol the Democracy, and none of
its abusive stories need be denied or
diSprOven-they carry all the evidences
of untruth on their face.
Meeker county is not outside the cur
rent that is sweeping lifelong kepub-
licans away from their party. The ad-
vance in prices. owing to the Mckinley
bill, is the last straw that is sapping
the ties of party. Among the
prominent ones is E. A. ID.
Salter, of Atwater, an old citizen,

done with his party. and that the Dem
Ocrats should have not only his vote, but
his work. A few weeks ago he priced.
in one of the Litchfield stores,
pair of flannel shirts offered at 81.
He decided to wait little while until
the weather got colder. The other day
he went back and said he would
take the shirts. The storekeeper
said that, owing to the. Mckinley bill,
there had been an advance aud the
price now was S.. In his wrath he told
the merchant: aD-n the Mckinley

club with the following officers: Presi-
dent. j. Z. Hanley; first vice president,
RasmuS Hanson: second vice president,
Nels Swanson; secretary, August Ohr-
man; treasurer, Joseph Ehrmantraut.
A number of speeches were made. and
the meeting was very enthusiastic
one. The club will labor earnestly for
the election of the entire Democratic
ticket, and especially do all it can for
j. August Nelson, the Democratic can
didate for the Legislature in that ward.
Committees on halls, speakers, etc.
were appointed, and another meeting
will be held very shortly.
The Republican county committee is
putting out plenty of cash in the inter-
ests of P. j. Bigue for the lower house
of the legislature in the Sixth ward.
How this committee can do this
in the face Of the fact that
the Republican county convention gave
them no power to even indorse candi-
date in that ward is hard to see. Good
humored, honest old Sam Deering
is the Democratic and citizens
nominee for the legislature in
the Sixth ward. and he will be elected
by a large majority. The candidacy of
this man Bigue is said to have been
started by sSeveral ward heelers who
tried to bleed Mr.. Deering and failed.
Every reputable Democrat and inde-
pendent citizen should vote for Sam
Deering. and thus Iepudiate these politi-
cal leecheS. Vote for Sam Deering.
