CAMPAIGN ECHOES.

Judge Wilson was one of the first
men in the state to declare for the right
OF the legislature to regulate freight
tariff before the courts affirmed this
right, The assumption that he is
ringster and autOcrat falls far from the
mark. There is no man in the state
whose impulses and sympathies are
stronger than his with the people. He
IS thorough American, democratic in
Ills habits and associations, and one
who gives the same consideration to the
wishes of poor laboring man, that he
does to the richest individual in the
iland.-Northfield Independent.
oi
? They forget that Silcott -Dunnell,
when elected to congress two years ago,
was and had been for years the hired
lobbyist of the Northern Pacific railway
company; that Gordon E. Cole, the au-
thor of the late Republican state plat
form, has been for dozen years the
regular attorney of railroads; that Sem
iator Washburn, when elected to his
present office, was president of rail-
road; that Congressman COmstOck, when
elected, was the local attorney and land
agent of the Northern Pacific.-Olm-
Sted Democrat.
There'll be great song and gdance in
the Fifth district if Charley Gilman en-
tiers the race as an independent candi-
date for congress. Then there will be
five different tickets in the field.-Anoka
Union.
Gov. Merriam is lawful sorry he
wasn't born farmer with hoe in his
hand" Pity, isn't it, that our million
aire governor wasn't born with hay
rake attachment.-Belle Piaine Herald.
Judging from the avidity with which
the Pioneer Press swallows the Nc
Kinley bill-binding Irvine and all-it
is but reasonable to presume that the
Pioneer Press has got what it has all
along been bidding for. That is to say
grease. '--Stillwate Call.
For Chairman Heatwole, of the Re-
publican state committee, to pretend to
be indignant at the charge of Merriam
Doodle this campaign, is the veriest bur-
lesQue on language. He is merely play
ing bluff TO the hungry horde, but those
who get behind the stage scenery have
no difficulty In approaching the virtu-
Gus Joel. Who SuppoSes that the sec
rotary of the committee, who resigned a
$500 office for his present place, serves
without all advance? And who believes
that HeatwOle himself is giving his
time for the benefit of his health? HE
is not built that way" Merriam's
money has already gone into several
hungry maws in this county.-Le Sueur
Sentinel.
The Luverne convention passed a
resolution in which it Endorsed Senator
Davis for the part he took in making an
effort TO get binding Irvine OH the free
list, and also passed resolution indoors
ing John Linl for voting for the Nc
kinley bill to keep Irvine on the tax
list. Strange things. this politics! 1t
iSSimply an unknown uantity.-Edger-
ton Enterprise.
Judge Wilson secured verdict
against railroad corporation for GER
tain Mrs. English, and because friend
OF the lady expressed his appreciation
of Judge Wilson's services i'll the case
Joel HeatwOle wants to know how much
Mrs. English paid Judge Wilson for the
verdict. We do not Know whether that
is proper question or not, but if it is
we beg leave to ask if it is true that
Mir. Heatwole gets thousand dollars a
month for running Gov. Merriam'S
campaign.-Duluth News.
d. S. Hall leaves Washington to-day
for home and will 60 direct to his farm
near Stewart and commence getting in
his crops. Brother Gamble, 1T is SAID,
has been playing smash with his fences
up there and is now engaged in driving
oil "Dar'S" Stock.-GlencOe Enterprise.
The worst deal on the boys yet. 1t is
reported that Gov. Merriam will not
give the Hallock editors cent until
they have delivered him the goods in
November. Great Scott! they cannot
get any vo;es!-St. Vincent New Era.
Judge Wilson, the Democratic candi-
date for governor, will be pleasantly
welcomed in Duluth wherever he goes
by men who will vote against him as
we'll as by those who will vote for him.
His character and his record are wholly
honorable so far as the Herald knows.
The only crack at him that has been
paign is the petty fling at his profess
sional service at times as counsel for
some railroad companies. His employ
ment in this service testifies simply to
his professional ability as lawyer, aud
an attempt to use this professional EN-
ployment against his present candidacy
is an appeal to the bottom of demagOgic
prejudice. A good man is a good man
in any trade or profession, and if he
happens to be good lawyer as we'll, SO
much the better for his qualifications to
pass intelligently upon legislative
measures, by approval or vet0.-Duluth
Herald.
