The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1890-10-23
"The whole ticket, from top to bot

''The whole ticket, from top to bot
tom," is what Republicans are claim
ing in various parts of the county. On
the other hand, the opposition is claim
ing the election of Barber and Robin
son, and some of them are pretty con-
fident about it. The Gazette will make
its estimate two weeks later, when the
returns come in. The world will not
get off its axletree on account of the
election of such men as Barber and
Robinson, who are pretty good citizens
when there isn't any campaign on
They are making vigorous personal
canvass, and may get more than their
party strength we concede, but Turrell
and Anderson are good men too, and
will also draw outside their party. Be-
sides that, the latter gentlemen happen
to be on the winning ticket, which has
known no such word as fail in Red
wood county for twelve consecutive
years. Get all the fun out of the cam
paign you can, conference.-the time
is short.
An extended report of the Repub-
lican rally last Friday evening would
hardly be worth while at this time.
The speakers announced failed to come
to time, and Chairman Huntington
had to hustle for talent elsewhere. The
attendance was all that could be de-
sired, and included a goodly number
of ladies. Judge Baldwin came man
fully into the breach, and made the
most logical and convincing talk of
the evening. I. P. Shissler, of Man
kato, was summoned from state head
quarters, and made the most lengthy
address of the occasion, but in justice
to him it should be said that he was
given no time for preparation and was
suffering from a bad cold. His speech
was disappointment to many in the
audience. The last speaker was Mr.
Edwards, a Minneapolis attorney, who
showed familiarity with the subject
of the tariff, and had not the hour been
late he might have given the people a
finished argument in support of the Re-
publican policy. A glee club impro-
vised for the occasion by Messrs. Ed
Houck, Dewitt Martin and Lou Bux-
ton with Miss Ida Carrothers at the or
gan, helped to keep the crowd in good
humor and greatly added to the sue
cess of the meeting. Although disap-
pointed in not hearing the speakers
advertised, the crowd broke up with a
general conviction that it is a good
thing to belong to the Republican
party.
Yes, it is true as Mr.. Byington
states, that neither W. E. Baker nor
O. B. Turren are in favor of locating
the county seat in the geographical
center of Redwood county. The coun-
ty is full of men like them. They are
not expecting support on that is
sue, and so far as we know are not
asking votes on account of their posi-
ton on the old state bonds or upon
the vigorous prosecution of tho war
But it is true that Baker and Turren
have always worked for the interest
OF Redwood Falls. The evidence is
conclusive on that point. w. E. Baker,
associated with the late James McMil-
en-, put in the first roller Touring mill
i'll the county, unaided by one cent OF
bonus. Redwood county as we'll as
Redwood Falls has had no moro faith
full or capable public official than the
chairman of it's board of commission
ers, w. E. Baker. As to Mr.. Turrell
he is guilty of instigating and organ
izing our building and loan association
which has aided scores of our citizens
in getting or improving their homes
he was instrumental in inducing St
Paul capitalists to join hands with
himself and other enterprising citizens
of this town, in incorporating the Git
liens Bani:, which has added greatly
to the banking capital of the county
and thus proven of substantial benefit
to farmers and business men alike;
and what he did for his struggling
neighbors on his Paxton farm has
passed into ancient history. Tell the
whole truth, Mr.. B.
DELHI.
The Republicans did not rally
very extensively last Saturday night
