SPEAKING of the fact that the car
rying of few states by the Peoples
party would undoubtedly throw the
presidential election into the House,
Senator Washburn incidently re-
marks that while it would result in
the election of Cleveland, it would
srob the Democratic party of the
moral influence of victory" Precious
little that party cares for the "moral
influence" It's the spells they are
after, Senator!

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that
conservative estimates upon the poll
tical complexion of the next House,
places the Democratic strength at III,
the Republicans at 100, and the ALI
ance at 25. This would give the bal.
ance of power to the Alliance OF the
Republican membership of the next
House, Minnesota ought to furnish at
least six, and this can unquestionably
be done if a good, strong pull al
together is made.

OBJECTOR HOLMAN is out with an
article in the Congressional Record in
which he attempts to make out that
the 100000, 900 appropriations of this
Congress are less than the 1853, 900, 900
appropriated lat the first session of
the 51st congress. He undoubtedly
feels pretty small when reviewing the
position he has maintained for the
past few months and has an idea the
appropriations shrink the same way.

Mr.. Watson charged. Thus the Demo

RUMOR is gaining currency that Ig.
Donnelly will soon withdraw from the
gubernatorial race. 1t is presumed at
this distance that IL. would rather
let himself down by the straps of his
own boot legs than to be torn asunder
by the November ballots. Ignatius is
one of those ''slygarious" individuals
who never runs until he sees the en-
envy moving, and since Nelson's NOM
ination his optics have evidently been
opened to the situation.

just to say that the present congress

President Clarkson, of the Repub-

many Republican marching clubs, BIZ
cycle clubs, etc, as possible organized
by Aug. 10th. Mankato has more BIZ
cyclists for its size than most cities,
and could organize splendid Repub-
lican bicycle club. Very little time
would be required. We hope to see
something of the kind done, and be-
lieve that the young Republican
riders will be glad to join such club.

How WAPUZZLE WAS SOLVED.

When you want certain article, you want
the best make Of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
il what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for You.
by authority which cannot be questioned.
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one DUE
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1880 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those Of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by .
jury composed Of the best foreign mechsa-
ical experts. two Of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler 1
Wilson machines were the best Of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize OF.
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as q further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in tho world in
favor Of the No. 8 and No. 10 Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 8, for family use, and the No. IL.
for manufacturing uses. are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma
chine, ii you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. 8 Wheeler & Wilson machine, and il he
does not keep them, write to Us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.
