1t transpires that Johnny Zoos is run
sheriff for the sole and only purpose of
gratifying personal revenge. He has
not an earthly show of being elected,
and he knows it. His only motive is that
of revenge. Mr.. Miesen has known his
purpose from the start, but kept the
matter secret to avoid drawing
into his campaign any unnecessary
racour. Zoos has become so bold
with his assertions that MIR. Miesen's
friends have advised him to make public
the whole matter. 1t seems that the day
following the Democratic county con-
vention Foos sent word to Miesen ask
ing him to call at his (FoosJ store on
West Third street, as he wished to see
him on particular business. Mr.. MieSen
called, and was met by NEST astound-
ing proposition. Mr.. Miesen says that
Zoos remarked:
@"Now, Miesen, you have got the nom
lnation, and il you want to run I'll let
you if you'll do the right thing"
''Why, John, what. do you mean? l
don't understand you," answered Mr..
Miesen.
WELL" said Zoos. lit has cost me
$1,000 in my candidacy for the nominal
ton. If you will pay me that money
back, it is all right, and I'll not run as
all independent candidate. But if l
don't get it, shall come out as an indie
pendent candidate"
Mir. Miesen very properly informed
him that he wouldn't give him Is cents
to keep Off the track. He was at lib
erty to do as he pleased about running
Independently.
Mr.. Zoos is the candidate of the Re
publican papers, and he must look to
the Republican party for votes; for the
Democratic party is going to stand by
its nominee for sheriff, and has it in for
Independents who have bolted their
party nominations.

CLEVELAND AND THE VETER-

The unprincipled attempt of the Re-
publican press and party bosses to
create false presumption that GROVER
CLEVELAND is opposed to making suit
able provision for veterans of the Union
armies has been as unsuccessful as any
political maneuver must be which has
its foundation in an assumption of pop
ular stupidity. The intelligence of the
people instantly rejects such absurd
accusations. Mr.. CLEvELAND's vetoes
of private pension bills were invariably
prompted by his stern sense of public
duty and his desire to preserve the pen
sion roll as a roll of honor, unblemished
by the names of the dishonest and the
undeservlng. In this stand he was and
is supported by all deserving pension
ers and other veterans who desire to
avoid COMMUNICATING association with
the trickSters who seek to take diShon-
est advantage of the nations gratitude.
Even Gen. DANIEL E. SICKLES, who
has been so extensively quoted as OPP
posing Mr.. CLEVELAND, said of him in
a speech delivered at Utica, New York,
OIL Oct. ), 1888:
Now as to PRESIDENT CLEVELAND S record in
behalf of the soldiers. They charge that he
has vetoed good many pension bills So he
has. l have read his views. / am a soldier.
] love my soldiers. Had been president,
and congress had passed such bills for my
soldiers, L should have vetoed every one of
them, too. They were mostly all frauds and
shams. and had no frauds under me. Any
right-mnded man sworn to discharge his
duty would have signed these vetoes as Pres
ideHt CLEVELAND did.
This utterance of Gen. SICKLEs in
1888 he reiterates and emphasizes now.
The stories of his intention to ''boIt"
the nomination of Mr.. CLEVELAND
were mere fabrlcations of the Repub-
lican campaign committee. He oD-
posed the nomination OF Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND at Chicago solely on the ground
of political eXpediency, and his opposi-
ton ceased when the nomination was
made. He knows, and every man knows
who is not wiilfully blind to the facts
and the evidence, that GROVER CLEVE-
LAND is a loyal friend of the nations
defenders, but an uncompromising foe
10 hypOcritical pretenSion and to dis
honesty in every form.

TALKED AZ nAdLINE.
Judge Willis and Harry Wack
Wake the Echoes,

The people of Hamline. alive to the
occasion of the present campaign, as
Sembled at one OF the largest mass meet
ings last night which has ever filled As
ISOLATION hall. The speakers were Hon.
John W.Willis and the Youngest stump
speaker in the state, Harry w. Wack.
For two hours the hall gave earnest ear
to the clean, incsive arguments of the
speakers as they tore apart the threads
OF iniquitous tariff for Republicans
only, and the various dishonest
measures of the quaking opposi-
ton. Mr.. Willis gave utterance to
mastery exposition of the principles at
issue before the people. In lucid DEM
OnStratiOn he showed that the present
tariff on wool and other foreign impOr-
tations was in effect an export tariff of
go per cent. For instance: A farmer
is forced to foreign markets to sell his
surplus produce. Let him buy abroad,
and when he enters the portals of the
American gateway he is relieved of six
tenthS of what he bought abroad. This
SIX-tenthS represents the import duty.
In other words, dollars worth of
wheat. for which he finds no market at
nome. is sold abroad and invested there
in neceSSarieS, and when he gets home
with them the government has reduced
the net value of that dollars worth of
wheat to 40 cents. Being forced to sell
abroad, it has cost the farmer 20 cents
for the privilege. This is protection
served with the hair Unjust as it is
born to us and our interminable oppres-
sion. This is but one of hundred
clinching arguments made by Mr.. Willis,
and when he concluded the people OF
Hamline applauded him warmly.
Mr.. Wack'S speech was that Of the
thinker, rather than the wild hurrahs of
bloviation. His practical illustrations
of how the system of protective tariff
works in form Of positive circles, each
depositing its support to capital, trusts,
manufacturers and the Republican mo-
nopoleS. are those of the observing STU
dent. He says the Democratic party is
appealing to the minds of men, not by
the empty verboSity OF word jugglers,
not by noise and force bills, bnt by the
logic deduced from the present deplor-
able condition of the people as COM
pared with the governing power and in
dependent tyranny OF the concentrated
wealth of existing political machines.
The meeting was grand success, and
when both speakers had finished, the
assemblage acknowledged the enter
tainment by extending vote of thanks.
Alex Adams, president of the Demo-
cratic club. presided, and William Payne
acted as secretary. The next mass meet
ing is set for next Wednesday.

There ought to be new deal in Min

Grave complaints and we'll founded

MORE EVIDENCE CONCERN
ING EGAN.

Evidence continues to accumulate
showing that PAT EGAN is not out of
place among the Doodle campaigners of
the Republican party. The recently
published "reminiscences of LIE CARoN,
the British spy, throw new light on the
disposition made of that 100000 bal
ance which was never satisfactorily &C
counted for out of the Land League
funds handled by EGAN.- LIE CARoN
wrote with view to publication only
after his death, which, occurred some
three years ago. and certainly with no
thought of influencing political move
ments in this country. he tells the
story of his association with EGAN as
follows:
EGAN lived in most extravagant fashion,
and as he would pay for everything and
would not allow me TO share in any outlay
l had the best of all things without any strain
on my pocket whatever. He frequented the
most expensive cafes that had the choicest
of dishes, would only be content with the
best boxes at places of entertainment and,
in word, spent his money right royalty.

ONLY TO BE EXPECTED.

1t is reported that DANIEL BUCK. the
noblest Roman OF them all, while speak
ing about the secretary of states gerry
mander of the official ballots, said to
FREDERICK ?. BROWN: "YOu could
not have pursued any other course"
This is probably true, and agrees with
general popular opinion. DANIEL
BUCK comes from the same part of the
country as FREDERICK 2. BROWN, and
presumably knows him well. He be-
lieves that it would be quite out of the
question to expect the secretary of state
to act differently from what he has.
Everybody seems TO think the same
thing.
Nor is the explanation difficult to dis
cover. To have resisted the temptation
to doctor the ballots. to have discharged
his official duties impartially, to have
used his power temporarily and within
the limits of the law, would have re-
auired the exercise of some high-mind-
edness and elevation of character. 1t
would be as preposterOuS to look for these
qualities in FREDERICK p. BROWN as
to look for courtesy in a chimpanzee.
OANlEL oOGh 10 4OiIO iiShI IL hC
really said what is attributed to him.
The secretary of state was quite incapa-
bic of pursuing any other course than
that which he has followed. He VIC
lated the law to achieve partisan ad-
vantage. because he knew there was no
way of Furnishing him. This is the kind
| of man he is.
He is not fit to hold Office, and should
| be defeated. So also should his plot
against the purity of the election be
| thwarted. Let every Democrat be on
| the lookout for himself. and warn his
| neighbors. On the official ballots the
names of only five of the Democratic
| electors are grouped together. The rest
| are scattered through the Peoples party
| list. Let every Democrat be careful aud
mark the entire nine. In this way the
| crime of FREDERICK p. BROWN will
! cause no more harm than it has ex-
cited surprise.

tin has been in force, costing this

How far would those 500 boxes of tin

TOO GREEN TO BURN.

Two Of the most picturesque partici-
pants in the pending national battle are
Mrs. LEASE, of Kansas, and Mrs.
GoUGAR,o of Massachusetts. Mrs. LEASE,
iii spite of Georgia's rotten eggs, is
stamping the country vigorously for
Gen. WEAVER. Mrs. COUGAR is Pro-
hibitionist, and can hold her OVID In
debate with man of twice her size.
One of her campaign stories recounts
her experience on a trip to hell
which she took in a recent dream.
She met Satan, and he piloted her on
all investigating tour through his do
main. She saw lawyers, preachers,
doctors, bankers. politicians busily
shoveling coal, but she did not notice
any farmers or wage earners. Finally she
asked her internal guide if he had none
. of these classes among his guests. "Oh,
yes" he. answered, and conducted her
to an apartment where host of people
were suspended by the ears. When
she asked for an explanation, Satan re-
Piled: "These are farmers from out
West who voted for the Mckinley bill
under the promise that it would reduce
their taxes, and wage earners from
Massachusetts who voted for it on the
promise that it would raise their wages.
They are too green to burn, so we have
to hang them up to dry"
The stuff of which this dream was
made is truth, all wool and yard wide.
The farmer or the laboring man who
votes for protection because he thinks
1t will benefit him is too green to he
drilled, even in HELPS furnaces.

PRODDING A TRUST.
A Large Number of Kansas TN
dertakers to Be Arrested.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. &c. - Warrants
were issued today at the instance of
United States District Attorney J. w.
Ady, for the arrest of fifty-eight Kansas
undertakers, charged with violation of
the federal antitrust law. The under
takers in the principal towns in the
state have for more than two years been
organized into what they termed pro-
tective association. Wholesale dealers
in undertakers' supplies were notified
that if they sold goods to any one in
Kansas not member of the organiza-
ton they would be boycotted.
j. NJ. Knight attempted to start an
undertaken establishment in Topeka,
and after perfecting all arrangements
attempted to buy stock. This he was
unable to do, because of the associa-
tons influence. He then brought suit
against the association in the u uited
States courts and recovered damages.
Facts brought out in that suit warranted
the district attorney in bringing criminal
action against all members of the asso-
citation.
