generations past. The bishops second
son was father of Frederick P. Brown.
The father emigrated from Norway
to America and settled on farm in
Dane county, Wisconsin, in 1854, when
Frederick was only 16 years of age.
Here the boy grew to manhood, much
after the fashion Of other boys of the
period whose destiny called them to the
frontier-for such was Wisconsin at
that early period. He aided the father
in opening the farm and constructing
the home, catching such advantages of
education as he could.
Before reaching manhood Frederick
determined to go further west, and so
left the paternal roof, taking up his
residence at Rochester, Olmsted county,
Minnesota. In 1866 he removed to
Blue Earth City, in Faribault county,
where he still lives.
In 1879 Mr.. Brown was elected on the
Republican ticket to the position Of
register Of deeds for Faribault county.
an Office he held for sixteen years. This
was the only public position he ever
held by the suffrages of his fellow citi-
zens except that of secretary of state, to
which latter Office he was chosen in
1890.
The life of Mr.. Brown has been a COM
parativcly uneventful one-such as may
be the history of large majority of
his fellow citizens who righteously dis
charge each day those duties of routine
which each day brings. That he has
been an excellent citizen, q faithful
public officer, kind neighbor and good
friend, goes without the saying. All this
has been demonstrated by the immense
personal popularity which he enjoys at
home among those who have known
him longest and best.

and untried field, and she came alone,
without the aid or encouragement of
father or husband or brother in the task
assigned to her..
Did ever any one pause to think Of
the amount and quality of courage that
lit would require for a widow, with a
dependent family to take trip of this
character? Well, the mother of Knute
Nelson, the Republican candidate for
governor of Minnesota today, had just
that kind and quality of courage in
1S49. At that time there had been only
a very small immigration from the
Scandinavian peninsula to the United
States. Means of travel in that day
were very circumscribed, compared
with what they are today, and Mrs. Mel
son would seem to have been taking
leap in the dark.

tory of Minnesota was carved out of

tOrney General.
The Republican candidate for attor-
ney general was born in New York
state in 1S4S, and spent his early life on
farm. He was educated at tho COM
mon schools and seminaries of his native
state and first adopted the profession Of
a teacher. He became principal Of .
leading academical institution in Gen.
trail New York, and for several years
was closely identified with the educa-
tional interests of his native state.
In accordance with his natural tastes,
however, he turned his attention to the
legal profession, and, after several years
of careful study, was admitted to prac-
tice in the city of Syracuse. In that
city he continued practice until his
attention was called to the better oppor-
tunities offered ambitious yonng men in
the rapidly developing West.
In the autumn of 1852 he visited Min
nesota, aud was so pleased with tho
state and its people that he determined
10 make it his futurl home. He selected

HE SEES HIS MISTAKE.

If there be good reasons why Mr.. Nc
Veagh should leave tho Republican
party, he has not discovered or disclosed
them. Since making his conversion
public, with much braying of the bands.
and appearing upon tho boards - DEM
ocratic orator, he seems to owe to the
public something better than the arRu.
ment Of the ward Democratic hustler.
which is all that he has thus far given
to the people;-Pioneer Press.

WILLIAM MITCHELL.
Republican Candidate for Su-
preme Court Justice.

PASAAAS VIVA = - NAoCANOs
Was born in Welland county, province
of Ontario, on the 10th day of Novem-
Der, 1882, and is therefore just complet-
ing the sixtieth year of his age-thirty-
five of which have been spent in the
state and territory of Minnesota. He
removed from Canada to the states in
l845, and was graduated at Jefferson
college, Pennsylvania, in 1858. He i'm
mediately began the study Of law, and
after his admission to the bar came to
Minnesota.
He arrived in Winona in the spring of
1857, and entered upon the practice of
his profession Immediately. Two years
later, at the general election Of 1859 he
was chosen to seat in the lower house
of the state legislature, serving two
terms. Afterwards he continued &C.
lively in the practice Of his profession,
ignoring practical politics, until 1878,
in which year he was elected to seat
on the judicial bench for the third
judicial district, and served thereon
until appointed associate justice of tho
supreme court in March, 1881. In that
year at the general election Judge Nit
chell was endorsed by both the great
political parties, and unanimously
elected associate justice for the full
term. In 1887 he was again the candi-
date Of both parties for the same posi-.
ton and was elected without opposition.
Judge Mitchell is q Democrat of the
old school, but has never been an active
participant in any of the many contests
that have been waged since his advent
in Minnesota. Probably no man in the
entire nation is more thoroughly judicial
in temperament and education than he.
He was born in the ermine, and natur-
ally and inevitably sees both sides of
every question presented to him. His
mind is logical, analytical and emin-
emily practical. He is an arbitrator
instead of fighter, and it is for these
reasons that the people of the state-ig-
noring his political principles, or rather
losing sight of them because of his
recognized honesty and tried ability,
have three times united to make him a
member of the highest judicial tribuna
known to the laws of the state.
It may not be generally known, but il
nevertheless fact, that Judge Mitchell
just barely missed securing the position
of judge of the United States circuit
court by appointment of President Har-
rison last spring. His eminent judicial
qualities were brought to the presidents
notice, and at one time his appointment
was practically agreed upon; but some
turn of the wheel supervened and an
other appointment was made.
His election this year is assured, as he
has no opponent in the race.

Republican Candidate for Gov.
ernor of Minnesota.
In 1S49 widow, not speaking the
English language, landed at Castle Gar
den, New York. She was accompanied
by her son, boy of years of age, and
hailed from little farm near Bergen in
Norway, where her husband had died
three years previously, leaving her to
provide for the little family. She had
heard stories told of the American re-
public, how the opportunities for fight
ing the battles of life were better there
than in her own country, and that all
avenues were open to all people alike in
that favored land. Hearing these things
spoken, she determined to cast her for
tunes and those of her son in this new

the Democrats as an opprobrious cpl
tibet, soon became tho nom de guerre
adopted by his friends and supporters,
and through that epithet he has been
enabled to conquer in many of his warm
est contests.
Mr.. Nelson was q boy 6 years OF age
when brought to this country by his
widowed mother. Unaided by wealth
or family influence he has struggled up
ward from one position to another
honestly earning tho higher by honest
labcrs in tho lower-until he stands be-
fore the people Of his state asking their
suffrages for the highest Office in their
gift. His service in our great volunteer
army during the war Of the rebellion
splendid, courageous and manly rs it
was-is baptism into citizenship that
outranks any mere accident of birth aud
blood. He is an American citizen by
the right of adoption, education, train
ing, and arduous military service. But
there is yet higher claim to that citi-
zensbip, of which we are all so justly
proud. In every official position held
by Knute Nelson, he has acquitted him
self with high intelligence, perfect rec
titude and answering energy and
courage. If the Norwegian blood brings
these virtues to this the formative period
of that transcendant coming American
race which we all believe is to become
the sublimest people yet born into the
earth, is it not to be sought after and
welcomed when it seeks our shores?
In elevating Knute Nelson to the chief
executive Office of the state, the people
are .honoring through him that vast
mass of citizens of his blood and kin
dred who have been as loyal to existing
American institutions as the most loya
of all who are ''native and to the manner
