A farmer who has voted the Republic
can ticket in Nicollet county for the
past thirty years informed US STEW
DAYS since that he had enough. He
said that he should act IN the future
with the party whose aim was tariff re-
duction, and furthermore he did not
care what name the party assumed. A
revival is going on and converts are
being made.-St. Peter Herald.
Bill Merriam has within one month
invested Sl3O,000 in Chicago lots, and
this man, who sits in the chair hOnored
by Ramsey, Fillsbury and G. b. Davis,
is moving heaven and earth to gobble
an extra 100000 from the people of
Minnesota Ostensibly to promote our
worlds fair interests. but really, for
what? Let's tell the truth now and
shame the devil-to bolster up and
boom his CIV. r. Merriam's) worlds fair
lots in Chicago. Here is the eXplana-
ton of w. r. Merriam's cross-grained
conduct that seems to puzzle the Man
kato JOurnal-Spring Valley Nidette.
"a
Over twenty-five members of the
house and senate have already eX-
pressed themselves as heartily in favor
of the action taken by the convention.
This seems to be the only way in which
the money can be raised, and, if it shall
fail, Minnesota will have no state build
ing at the fair. neither can her interests
be shown up as they will be If the ap-
preparation is made. - Mankato Free
Press.
The convention was not large. 1t is
to be hoped that Governor Merriam has
better Judgment than to call ALI extra
session.-Fergus Falls Journal.
r.
When two-thirds of the late legisla-
ture petition the governor for an extra
session and agree to do nothing but
appropriate funds for the worlds fair.
the Alliance party might just as well
disband. Now is the time for Duluth
to raise a $1,000 county fund for a local
exhibit. The $4,000 already appropri-
ated will erect the buildings and pay
the salaries, and Duluth will do the
rest. Duluth Herald.

The Preston Times is authority for
the little political gossip which we give
here without comment: Knute Nelson
is to be governor with Merriam, bench
man for lieutenant. Nelson to be elect
ed United States senator, and the bench
man to be made governor, and succeed
himself two years later. and use the
state patronage so that Gov. Merriam
can make strike for Senator Wash
burns shoes.-NOrthfield News.

No doubt some members who opposed
a larger appropriation at the last session
are now Inclined to look more favorably
an tho subject but il must not be for
gotten that there was a large sentiment
manifested at the last session in favor
of even a smaller appropriation than
was made. and twas only by extremely
hard work that the advocates of the
measure secured grant of $4,000.
Viewing the whole situation, the out
look is not very favor able for an addi-
tional appropriation by the legislature.

The st. Paul GLOBE, that broad
gagged Democratic journal of the
Northwest, publishes inits issue of
Aug. II an article of over a column in
length. discussing the contents of an
anonymous pamphlet gotten out recent
ly under the heading of ''Antl-Cleve-
land" The bogus pamphlet is un-
doubtedly the nefarious work of the
Republican national committee, through
the agency of its tools. The document
will, of course, fall short" of its in
tent, and Will have no effect; but. ah, it
can ilk will go, and how they are
..quaking in their boots" in fear of
CIeveland's denomination. The GLOBE
is ''onto their racket" and don't you
forget it.-GaylOrd Hub.
