The state by agreement of all parties,
and | want to assure Mr.. Bruckart, OF
st. Cloud, that he is still one of the
sQuareSt men in Office in the state. Mr.
Ellenbecker knew that f. E. Price was
elected. and he refused TO be Il party to
any deal that would rob him OF the GER
tifcate of election. If Bob Dunn is so
honest in his demands, why did he seek
to obtain the certificate of election on
the ground that l.. L. Price had not re-
ceived a majority OF the votes cast. lie
wanted to gain mean advantage
through mistake in Prices initials,
and he was beaten badly. Mr.. Bruckart
says several Democrats will vote to seat
Dunn. This is absurd. Mr.. Price was
elected. and he will be seated by the
votes of every Democrat and many Re-
publicanS. Mr.. Bruckart is sore" over
his defeat in the Dunn-Price contest, or
else he would not have Slandered Nor

Monroe Nichols, the Matt Quay of
Duluth, was at the Merchants yeSter-
day. Mr.. Nichols is the bright young
Republican politician whom Congress-
NAL C0mstock turned down so rudely
when it came to filling the land Office at
Duluth with members of his own party.

an appointment to Mr.. Nichols, when
the time came he cooll!y gave it to a reIa-
tive OF the land commissioner at Wash

the Little Falls convention which re.
nominated Mr.. ComstOck, but he was

that he shed very many copious tears at
the result.
