FOR CONGRESS-.

Al the time is near when the Repub-
licams Of this district must choose 4
candidate for Congress, it being under
stood that Hon. John Lind will not
accept \ denomination, the press :of
the district has greeted :withs much
cordially the mention OF the name OF
rrof. J. +. McCleary, Of. Mankste.
His public career has been that of: an
educator, and not that of an aspirent
for Office. But he is the kind Of man ca
pable and qualified for legislative work.
We give b+low some Of the favorable
remarks made by the papers Of this
vicinity:
Preston Times: Prof. j. r. Nc
Clesry Is being doomed for Congress.
lie is we'll known iu this district and
Is very popular
Redwood Falls Gazette: With men
like Ives, Turrell and McClesry to
choose from. there appears to be pres
ent. danger that this -district will be
misrepresented in Congress. ...-
Lake Crystal Mirror: Lieut.. Gov.
Ives, Of st. Peter, 10 . candidate for
Congress. Mr. Ives Is unqnestion&bIy
good man, aud had he come out ii,
season would have received the support
Of many who have arrived at the con-
cluston that Prof. McCleary il "all
right" and will accordingly stick to
him.
M*zeppa Tribune: Prot. J. T., Nc:
Cleary, OF the Mankato Normal school.

ond district. but 10 objected to by
some on the ground that his only claim
to recognition lies in tho fact that be
is the author Ut y text book on potiti-
cal economy, and that he has had no
acquaintance with practical politics.
We are not exactly sure what the OBJ
j~ctors mean by practical politics. 81
but il it is only q polite way OF saying
"maehine politice, ;" then Mr. Nc Clea.
~ should have the hearty support OF
the voters Of tho district. He is IN
able, Conscientious man, and we'll IT.

true that he has had no legislative ;ex

Hon. John Lind and many another
brainy man in Congress ut tho time OF

far more, value than = few months

among the leaders in Congress and
give him corresponding influence. A
