TOBACCO MEN DESPONDENT. Their Big Crop Badly Damaged by
 the Weather.

HARTFORD, Sept 16.-Tobacco raisers in this vicinity are greatly alarmed at the continued wet weather. Many fine lots are said to be rotting on the poles, some to such an extent that it falls from them in good d-for-nothing mass. The crop generally was one of the best ever found in the Connecticut valley, and tobacco farm CTS had right to expect good bit of pocket money for their seasons work. Some of the very early cut had got little start of the damp weather and will proba- bly pull through in good shape, but the general outlook is far from encouraging.

 the nomination was seconded by Colonel
 Norris G. Osborn of New Haven and A1van
 F. Hyde of Hartford.
 Phelan's name was also presented by
 MT. Olmstead. His opponent for the nom-
 ination was Morse of Meriden. Phelan
 had the call, and on the formal ballot the
 nomination was made unanimous. J. S. Seymour of Norwalk presented MT. Hyatt's
 name
 Alsop was nominated by exclamation,
 there being no opposition. Messrs. John s. Seymour of Fairfield and Harry Leigh of New Haven were ap- pointed committee by the convention to call upon MT. Morris and apprize him of
 his nomination. They will call upon MT. Morris at Il o'clock on Saturday in the discharge of their duty, when MT. Morris letter of acceptance will doubtless be ready. The Hon. William M Springer of Illinois afterwards spoke briefly in support of democratic principles.
 Among other things he said that the re- publican party was responsible for the leg islatlon of the past thirty years-leg1Slatlon which has enriched manufacturers and rendered the farmer poor. The democrats had nothing to do with the tariff in that time, and so had no participation in the depression of farm values. Mr. Springer recommended that the farmers of Connecti- cut send petition on to Washington and request that the entire internal revenue on tobacco be taken off in preference to ac- cepting the clause relating to Sumatra to-
 bacco which is incorporated in the McKin- ley bill. He reviewed the different plat forms of the democratic and republican parties and made very brilliant close. A resolution of thanks was moved and unanimously adopted.
 James P. Pigott offered his original reso- lution concerning representations in sub stitution for that of the committee on res olutions which postponed the consideration of the Pigott resolution until the next con- Yention.

John;Lind's 81 Early..Llfc.

1.-THE following extract from the Man.
katossReg;ster throws.some light on
the early life of John Lind:
He came to the Mankato Normal
school, still young, poorly clad, un-
polished and meagerly informed; but
the spirit of application he had learned
from his industrious parents, and his
indomitable brain power soon placed
him among the brightest students, and
the rather crude, Swede farm boy, soon
gave evidence of more than ordinary
abilities. He followed up his studies,
devoting what time he could spare to
rendering such assistance on the farm
as his crippled condition would per-
NIT, and his people in turn, assisting
him in his efforts to get an education
It was not long until he was able to
teach a country school, and when his
finances warranted he spent some time
at the State University. He taught
school for several terms, and then con-
cluded to take up the legal profession.
He entered an attorneys Office at New
Ulm, boarding with his tutor and d. i lg
chores for his board. Here his pluck
and keen mind soon attracted atten-
ton, and it was not many years until
he was numbered among the attorneys
of Brown county. His reputation as
a lawyer soon spread beyond the con-
fines of his own county, and in COM
paratively short time his practice ex
tended over all Southwestern Mime
sofa.

1t is probably not necessary to re-
mind most of the readers or the Gazette
that it does not indo-se the statements
or conclusions of its correspondents.
But we believe in free speech and fair
play, and are willing to strain point
to allow all our readers chance to OK
press their sentiments. We wish to
correct two errors of statement on the
part of our correspondents, however,
which are plainly unintentional. Mr..
Byington speaks of the democrats en-
dorsing Mr.. Barber. The democrats
made no endorsement or nomination
for representative, and democrats are
left free to vote for Mr.. Barber or Mr..
Turel. Neither of these gentlemen
have any objections to receiving DEM
ocratic votes. In Mr.. Gilbert's COM
Sunication, the statement is made that
the only appropriation secured by Mr..
Turrell in the legislature was for a
bridge for the benefit of Redwood
Falls. As matter of fact, the appro-
priations secured were for three county
bridges-one across tho Minnesota at
North Redwood, and two smaller bridg-
Sc in the southern part of the county.
The appropriations were scaled down,
to $500, $500 and $2C0 each, accord
ing to estimated cost Of bridges. The

We have seen him on the stump,
Bro. johnson, and we have heard him
cold-bloodedly utter the most auda-
cious falsehood, whereupon we then
and there challenged his veracity. He
proudly proclaimed that he could sub
stantiate every word he said by no less
trustworthy witnesses than Judge
Start, Judge Collins and Robert Tay-
lor, Esq, and others. We took down
his statements in writing, which he
approved. We then submitted them
to the gentlemen referred to and they
said exactly the contrary. We then,
in public print, accused him of preyar-
ication, and the only defense he has
ever made was in cunning little sar-
casm. We have therefore forever
branded Tom Wilson as liar, and we
stand ready to prove it in any court of
justice. And the matter in which he
was then lying involved no less than
$4,000, as between the towns of
Plainview and 'Elgin and Chicago &
Northwestern railroad company, fo1
which he was then and is now the at
torney.-Midway News.

Political power, whether for good or
evil, implies party organization, party
leaders and loyal party followers. But
woe to that party with self-seeking
leaders and blind followers. All will
sooner or later fall into the ditch, to
use a script,,ral illustration. What our
parties and what our country needs is
not fewer politicians, but more and
wiser-a primary politician behind
every ballot on each recurring election
day. Then cut and dried nominations
would be rebuked, and demagogues
could no longer successfully appeal to

The following from the New Ulm
Review, is of importance in view of
the fact that no official instruction has
been published concerning the pro-
posed change in railroad taxation. Our
own advice and vote will be given in
favor of letting we'll enough alone, and
voting mo" on the last amendment
clause:
Last week we referred to the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
providing for change in the jury sys-
tenn. There is also another amend
ment to be voted on at the next cleo
ton and that is for a change in the
method of taxing railroads. Under the
present law the railroads pay as tax
certain percentage of their gross
earnings. From 1887, when the law
went into effect, till 1890 the percent
age was one per cent. For the next
seven years it will be two per cent and
for the years following it will be three.
At present of course this makes the
taxation light as compared to what it
was previous to the passage of the law,
but when it is remembered that the
rate increases it will be seen that the
difference is small. Now it is proposed
to alter this law and tax the railroads
according to the property that they
possess. What would be the result?
At present the railroads are compelled
under penalty of law to show up their
earnings. How would it be under the
other method? Wouldn't it be pos
sible to cover up half their property
and then influence the assessors to list
what they did find at very low figures
That is more than apt to be the out
come, and when it is considered too
that the great bulk of the railroad
property of the state is to be found in
one or two counties like Ramsey and
Hennepin the iniquity of such legisla-
ton appears in bold-face. The amend
ment does not propose how the taxes
shall be collected, but it is most likely
that it would be done in the usual way
through the counties. In such an
event the districts, where railroad mile
age was extensive, would have the ad-
vantage and the injustice that would
result to the counties where there are
no railroads would be evident. The
present method therefore of taxing up
on gross earnings seems the best and
should stand.
