MERRIAM WILL WIN
A Careful Review of the Sit
uati0n Assures the Re
publicans ofSuccess.
Merriam Will be Elected by
a Majority Of Over
$4,000.
The Republicans are Sweep
ing Everything Before
Them.
The Signs,

AS the campaign progresses the signs be-
come more and more propitious. The ALI
;lnce-Lahor movement grows weaker as the
people o the State learn more definitely of
its processes and purposes. 1t is being gradu--
ally discovered that the two elements CON-
sprising the newest political movement are
like oil and water and cannot be made to
mix. What suits the so-called farmers is
naturally and inevitably disliked by the So
called working men. The former have a
chronic disposition to ''shake the railroads
over hell, but the labor element-that Sec
tion of it which works with it's hands-hes
discovered that large proportion of the
work which gives to it its daily bread pro-
railroads. Hence anagonisms are be-
ing developed, and the new party is fall
ing to pieces OF its own weight. Mean
time the paid advocates of the English
free trade movement, and the tin horn
statesman footing for momentary noto-
riety. continue to traverse the cow-patts
OF the back country districts and preach
about the overwhelming disasters to
the agricultural Observation-Disclosures that
never materia!ize. From the Fifth
district-the section where the farm
promised the largest results-rhere is one
continual stream of reports that the fourth
party BALLS rapidly losing it's m omentum
Men who were formerly active in the Alliance
movement are returning to their allegiance
Co the old parties The leaders have given
up the fight before the real battle was fairly be-
gun. Mr.. LIND in the Second district reports
gun. Mr.. LIND in the Second district, re ports
the same condition of affairs and asserts
that there is no break in the Republican part
OF the Southwestern portion of the Stat
which need create the slightest uneasiness
All OF our members of Congress and both
Senators have taken the stump and each one
as doing yeoman seryic for the cleo
ton OF the whole ticket. Without excep-
ton their reports are to the effect that
the solid Repu blican phalanx from the
North Star State in Congress will remain
Unbrokell. 1T is even as serted that
Oh arlie ilman in the Fifth has no possible
chance for election and that tho farmers OF
the Second are not showing q vast amount
of agricultural enthusiasm for General Baker.
Everywhere, from the horizon to the zenith,
the skies are bright, and it only remains for
the leading Republicans in every county to
do their duty by getting out the full vo te to
insure more complete triumph than the old
party has known in an off year during the
past generation. Only three weeks remain in
which to perfect the party organization.
These twenty -one.days should be i period of
'sleepless activity on the part of every man
young and old-who believes in the triumph
%of Republican principle Especially are
the principles OF protection and reci-
procity on trial in Minnesota this year. Re-
publicans all over the North have their eyes
fixed upon this State. They must not be
disappointed The verdict OF this great
agricultural commonwealth mnst be spoken
in no halfhearted way. The season OF as
sured material prosperity now dawning Tor
jthe whole country must not be post
poned by any reactionary movement
IN the great and growing Northwest.
The Republican party, here, is assured Of
victory to-day, but it must be sonnet hing
more than u victory OF a lean and lank m a.
jority of % few paltry thousands. Our su c.
cess must be corpulent-portly with spo n
raneous plurality reat hing we'll in the tho u
sands, so clat when we enter upon the cam :
paign ol 1892 there will be 81 panicky eelin e

A great victory is within our grasp. lie us
reach out and take it with courage North
