rneir well-fousht fields, their swords and

shields
Ali crimson dyed and CORY
Their courage bold, are often told
In varied song and story.
They fought and bled. it should be said
To make true confession
They scorned to feel that iron heer'
OF BrittOns dire oppression.
Well, now. we see all men agree
In giving to our nation
The highest plane that men may gain,
In any worldly station.
No longer bound to till the ground,
Like cringing slaves and vassals;
Nor bound TO give 10 those who live
In princely halls or castles.
And now, my friend, pray comprehend
The moral here intended;
For If you do we promise you,
Our laws will soon be mended.
On Tuesday note JUST HOW YOU VOTE,
From governor down to sheriff.
Remember. man, no snide e'er (Snider) can
Explain that wicked tariff
One E. NJ. johnson. candidate for state
senator from the Thirtieth district, is adj
vancing queer sort of argument against his
opponent, f. G. Mcmillan. In his quiet, in
sinuating way johnson is telling the people
in the Thirtieth that Mcmillan should not
be sent to- the senate because. for
sooth, he has never lorded 1t over
a city council and bulldozed meeker
members in suecumbing TO his wishes
In default of finding any tangible argument
against Mcmillan, he has pleaded to be sent
to ST. Paul instead, because Mcmillan does
not understand the tricks of the political
schemer. Mr.. Mcmillan is a business man
and an honest man. Such qualifications
should outweigh the wiles of the trickster.

The election of Perry Long. candidate for
the legislature in the Twenty ninth district.
on the Democratic ticket, is practically con :
ceded by the Republicans. Mr. Long is re-
fined young gentleman Of thirty summers.
He was born in the First ward and COM
dc no Of bnf n nd
Republicans His record as a labor agitator
is very well known. He belongs to the wage
working class and is thoroughly conversant
with the needs of mass legislation. If
elected, as he is sure 10 be. he will untirinely
labor to secure legislation that will be bene-
fetal to the laboring people.

The Tribune yesterday stated that AID
Adams. of the Twelfth ward, was the unali-
nous choice of the Republican party. 1t was
a well known fact that Adams secured his
nomination through combination which
is unworthy of mention. That Mr.. Dickerson
had two out of four delegates elected at the
primaries is admitted by Adams supporters
How Adams secured the necessary delegate to
nominate him is mystery, and will probably
always remain so unless he decides TO expose
some ''boodler'' in the future.

He made strenuous appeal on behalf OF Mr..

The usual effort is being made to use G. A.
r. organizations for political effect, as can be
seen from the following circular letter sent
throughout the country:
Headquarters Veterans Union League,
Minneapolis. Mimi. Oct. u. 1889. Fellow
Soldiers: DesDairing of electing the Demo-
cratic ticket, with def-at staring them in the
face, that party is resorting TO methods to Sc
cure the success OF one or more nominees
upon the ticket. First they hoped for the
Winston, and regarding these hopelessly lost
are now directing their special efforts
to secure the defeat OF Jim Eye as
sheriff; appealing to race prejudice
and all the small arts of demagOgues to ac-
complish this. Young men who were in
swaddling clothes when we were at the front
fighting for the preservation of the country
they now enjoy, are blatant in the presenta-
ton of the name of Capt. % P. P. SwensOn.
We have nothing TO say against the soldier
record of P. P. SWenSOn. To every man who
wore the blue we give due credit, but not at
the expense Of any one equally entitled
thereto. Let us see: Private James II. Eye be-
came member of ComDan L. ED Illinois
Vols. at the age of eighteen years,in 62,and
served until the close of the war. He partici-
pated in the battles of jackson, Champion
Hills, Miss, siege Of Vicksburg. Mission
Ridge. Tenn. Dalton, and Allatoona. was one
of that gallant command who held the fort,
and made Shermans march to the sea pos
sible the story of which achievement has
| placed the name Of Corse, and every man of
his command who lent encouragement TO.
the success of that day, upon the brightest
page of American history. Jim Eye, too.
took part in the great march to the sea, wind
ing ND at the close OF the war with moro,
honor than is usually accorded the private
soldier. Can any one show prouder rec
ord?
Since 1897 he has been resident of the
city of Minneapolis and the county of Hen
nepin. He does not parade his nationality,
though he is proud to be known as a citizen
of the republic. His record as a citizen, O
patriot and as an official requires no euIogy.
They speak tor him, as it is known TO you all.
We but ask that you do your full duty from
this until the day of election. Meet the ira
Queer face to face; assert yourselves and
stand squarely by him who has ever stood
squarely with you in every emergency.
1t is your duty. as it is a privilege, to re
turn the soldier and the soldiers firm friend,
James H. Eye, by larger majority-and this
is possible-than he had before. Vote for
and stand by Jim Eye.
j. K. MERIT E. W. MORTIMER,
Secretary. President.
The foregoing is printed letter sent all
over the country. and P. P. Swenson answers
it as follows:
To Jim" Eye: Be alittle fair. even In pol
itics, Jim. Don't hide the identity OF so CON
| spicuous being as yourself behind the
Veterans Union league Be manly enough
| to say that you are the person particularly in
| terested in electing Jim Eye. Don't resort
| to letter like the above. and then talk about
''denagoguesi" 1t seems to me as if it takes
| a demagogue to write such letter
| about himself. Do you know, Jim.
| that was soldier too; that
| / enlisted Nov. IL, 1851; re-enlisted and
! served to the end Of the war; served in thirty
| engagements and was wounded three times:
| But, Jim. don't ask the Office upon that
| ground, for if / should there might be many
| other soldiers worthier than l. Be fair, Jim
/ Sign your own name to your own letters, and
| do not deceive ths people as you did me
