The Redwood Reveille has this to say
of S. D. Peterson's nomination, which
we can heartily endorse: The Republic
cans of Redwood and Brown counties
have determined to redeem their sena-
torial district, and have it represented
by Republican. They took the first
step in this direction by nominating S..
D. Peterson, of New Ulm, for senator,
at their convention on the 25th inst.
Mr.. Peterson is well known in both
counties and is regarded as an excep
tionally strong man. He has repre-
sented this district for one term and
was always willing to do his full share
in securing legislation for this county.
We recommend him to the favorable
consideration of Redwood county Re-
pubicans and ask that they give him a
united and hearty support.
The Board of Public Works held a
meeting last Thursday and made the
waterworks and reetsprinkling assess
ments. AS to the latter. they decided
that each lot on Minnesota St. of fifty
feet front should be assessed one dollar
per month for period OF six months.
This will cover the six months previous
to October 1st. In the matter of water
works, the Board agreed that as the
people on one side of the street would
have to pay more for laying the pipes
into their buildings than those on the
opposite side, that they be assessed less
on the city mains. Accordingly it was
agreed to assess the property owners on
the side nearest the mains 70 cents per
foot and those on the opposite SO cents.
This would make if $50 for lot on one
side and $25 for q lot on the other.
One third of this is to be paid by the
city. The cost of the mains including
hydrants and sundry fixtures for oae
block is estimated at $906.23
Minnesota has one U. S. Senator
just one-that she can feel proud of.
Senator Davis has missed hardly a day
from his seat since the present session
commenced, almost year since. He
has stood up and fought the battles of
the soldier to successful issue; he has
fought the battle of the farmers of the
Northwest on the binding twine ques-
ton, and he has defended in every in-
stance every measure OF merit and op-
posed every measure of wrong. He
faced the final issues on the tariff ques-
tion when Uotes were wanted while his
colleague-where was he9 On vaca-
tion to the Pacific coast attending we'd
dings, partaking of high-toned dinners
and having jolly good time generally
at the expense of the Government. The
difference between Davis and Wash.
burn is, one works for what he gets, the
other gets what he does not work for.
The right thing to do this fall is to sup
port Republican members for the legis-
lature who will stand up manfully and
declare themselves IN favor of the re-
election of C. X. Davis to the United
States Senate. He is q representative
worthy the name. Mankato Free Press.
