There is a strong paopability that
Senator Whiteman will be elected. but.
these who appreciate the injury Com
stock has done this district should vote
direct for Mr.. Whiteman and thereby
make Comstock's defeat an absolute
certainty. -Crookston Times
Duluth will regret that knute Nelson
is not to speak here during the cam
paign. but it is generally conceded that
severe attack of quinsy isn't half as
bad as trying to make Merriam speech
in Duluth. Mr.. Nelson may thank his
timely ffiiction.-Duiuth Times.
One good indication that the McKin-
ley bill is an outrage on the public lies
in the fact that the high tariff organs
have been apologiZing for it's passage
ever since it became a laW.-Duluth

The Republican party in Minnesota
mas become aggrandized in wealth and
stepped in corruption. 1t has got to
that stage that only rich man dare
aspire to the gubernatoriai chair and to
congress. No poor man could be nolai-
mated, no matter how much he deserved
TO be. Mammon rules with imperial
sway the Republican party in this state.

This paper could be filled with rea-
sons why Thomas Wilson should be
elected governor of Minnesota, but
there is only one reason why W. r.
Merriam should be elected, and that is
to give him chance to make money
enough out of the job to "play evenS'
on the expense be has been at i'm get
ting it. If Merriam is elected it will
have cost him ten times the amount of
salary he will receive for the term for
which he is elected, and he cannot get
even without playing another Lake Su-
perior mineral laud deal. But no fear;
he Will find the means to square him
self if he is elected.-Stillwate Call.
No one seems to have any disposition
to regulate his eXcellency's domestic af-
fairs: and, if he is able to own S20, 1000
worth of jewelry and diamonds. It is his
own affair, unless he swears to the as
SCISSOR that they are only worth $500.
Then it becomes the public'S affair, and
Mr. Merriam cannot be surprised if the
public demands fair division OF taxa
ton. If MIR. Merriam has not falsilied
his statement for assessment he owes
it to himself and his party to say so: if
he has done SO his party owes it to him
to fire" him, and the public should see
that the partyipays its debt.-StillWater
Democrat.
The beauties of political misrepresen-
tation are illustrated by the "ooodle OF
gans" claiming that the rise in the
prices of what the farmers have to buy
is not occasioned by the Mckinley bill,
but that the high prices of grain this
year compared with last is: the exact
converse of the proposition is the truth,
the rise i'll goods is occasioned by the
bill, and the higher price of gram by
failure of crops. Go to, ye hypocriteS.

Senator STEVENSON, OF CrookstOn,
Republican and a protectionist, gives it
as his opinion that Owen will carry the
Fifth district, but believes that Com
stock will run ahead of Merriam. If
Comstock does run ahead of Merriam,
and the latter loses the district, of
course Comst0ck will be defeated too
In fact. the Mckinley bill champion is
doomed, whether the district may be
carried or not.-St. Cloud Times.
There will be many cities in the north
ern part of the state which will POLKA

ans will vote the straight Democratic
ticket on account of the passage of the
Mckinley bill by the Republicans Mer-
Ram is considered as entirely out of
