There is strong paopability that
Senator Whiteman will be elected. but
these who appreciate the injury Com.
stock has done this district should vote
direct for Mr.. Whiteman and thereby
make Comstock's defeat an absolute
certalnty.-Crookst0 Times.
Duluth will regret that Knute Nelson
is not to speak here during the cam
palgn. but it is generally conceded that
a severe attack of quinSy isn't half as
bad as trying to make a Merriam speech
in Duluth. Mr.. Nelson may thanl. his
timely ffiiction.-Duiuth Times.
One good indication that the McKin-
ley bill is all outrage on the public lies
in the fact that the high tariff organs
have been apoiOgiZing for its passagA,
ever since it became Iaw.-Duluth
News.
The Republican party in Minnesota
mas become aggrandiZed in wealth and
STEPPED in corruption. 1t has got to
that stage that only rich man dare
aspire to the gubernaturial chair andsto
congress. No poor man could be nolni-
mated, no matter how much he deserved
to be. Mammon rules with imperial
sway the Republican party in this state,
and with its ever ready ally-the saloon
1t is crushing the toiiing yeomanrY
OF the land down with remorseless OPP
pression.-Kanabec Times.
This paper could be filled with rea-
sons why Thomas Wilson should be
elected governor of Minnesota, but
there is only one reason why W. r.
Merriam should be elected, and that is
to give him chance to make money
enough out of the job to '.play event.
OH the expense be has been at in get
ting it. Ii Merriam is elected it will
have cost him ten times the amount of
salary he will receive for the term for
which he is elected. and he cannot get
even without playing another Lake SUI
perl0r mineral laud deal. But no fear.
he Will lind the means to square him
self if he is elected. Call.
No one seems to have any disposition
to regulate his eXcellency's domestic af-
fairs: and, if he is able to own 500, 600
worth of jewelry and diamonds, It is his
own affair, unless he sWears to the as.
SCISSOR that they are only worth $500.
Then it becomes the public's affair. and
Mr. Merriam canDot be surprised if the
public demands fair division of taxa
ton. Ii MIR. Merriam has not falsiled
his statement for assessment he owes
it to himself and his party to say so; if
be has done so his party owes it to him
to fire" him, apd the public should see
that the partyipayS its debt.-StillWater
Democrat.
The beauties of political misrepresen-
tatIon are illustrated by the doodle or
gans" claiming that the rise in the
prices of what the farmers have to buy
is not occasioned by the Mckinley bill.
but that the high prices of grain this
year compared with last is: the exact
converse of the proposition is the truth.
the rise In goods is occasioned by the
Dill, and the higher price of gram by
failure of crops. Go to, ye hypoeriteS !
-Fairmont News.
Senator STEVENSON, OF Crookstop. a
republican and prOtectiOniSt, gives it
as his opinion that Owen will carry the
Fifth district, but believes that Com
stock will run ahead of Merriam. If
Comstock does run ahead of Merriam.
and the latter loses the district, of
course Comst0ck will be defeated too.
In fact the Mckinley bill champion is
doomed, whether the district may be
carried or not.-St. Cloud Times.
There will be many cities in the north
ern part of the state which will poll a
large vote for Owen. Many Republic
ans will vote the straight Democratic
ticket on account.of the passage Of the
Mckinley bill by the Republicans. Mer-
Ram is considered as entirely out of
the race. The election has passed be-
You'd the control of Doodle. There re-
mains little or no doubt of the election
OF Judge Wilson to the gubernatorii
chair. He will be looked to with pride
by the Whole people of MinueS0ta.4

+. P. Brown, the candidate on the Re

see the opinion they hold. -Edger ton
Enterprise.
In his person he stands for no princi-
pie whatever; his only claim to political
preferment Is that he has money and
knows how to use it, and how to manip-
utate the machine politicians, and
through them the caucuses. Left to
stand upon his own individual merits,
he would sink, never to rise again. He
has been since he became governor a
political office broker, farming out the
offices, not to Republicans, but to the
friends of William R. Merriam. He
and his admirers and lieutenants have
made Implicit support of him test of
party obedience. aud the man who does
not kneel to him will find no place in
the Republican party if Merriam is re.
elected.--Duluth Tunes.
