streets. Think of the binding dust

Governor Buchanan is the farmers
Governor-the man of the people-the
man who serves the State not for base
lucre, but for the welfare of the people;
yet he is the only Governor who ever
helped to pass a bill to give himself
fees. Gov. Buchanan has signed two
such bills. The first is the direct tax
bill. Under this bill every man or wo-
man to whom money FROM this fund is
due must go all the way to Nashville,
or else employ an attorney, paying him
a large per cent. for collection, and then
pay fees to the officials who disburse it,
Gov. Buchanan coming in for an equal
divide. Although the constitution
fixes his salary at $4,000 per annum,
Gov. Buchanan himself helped to pass
a bill which will add several thousand
dollars to his official income, every dol
lar of which must come out of the
pockets of Tennessee Taxpayers.
Another bill which he helped to pass
was the bill providing for refunding a
certain part of the State debt at lower
interest, and in this case, too, he allows
himself a fee of 81 for each bond
funded, each of the other four getting
the same. When Bate was Governor 1t
was suggested that he be allowed an
equal fee with the other officials in the
funding of the bonds, but he declared
that he would not, under any circum-
stances, receive one dollar over or. above
his constitutional salary.
That is the difference between "a peo-
ple's Governor" of the Ocala variety
and plain, old-fashioned, upper-case
Democrat.

AFTER all that had been said and
written upon the subject, the asser-
tIon made by Buchanan organ last
week that "we can find no argument
made against the Ocala demands"
was absurd, simply; but the same
assertion now or later on will argue
that the aforesaid editor can't read,
or reading, can't understand. In the
bope-vain it may be though none the
less sincere-to save a backsliding
sinner, we commend him to the
speech of the Hon. Peter Turney.

You remember His W uIskers went
to Mississippi and waged war with
his wicked tongue against Senator
George, and his political henchmen
mere glOated over the supposed dead
carcass of Senator George. Mr..
George went back to the Senate just
the same. Later on, just few
months ago, the same crowd were
radiant over Gov. Jones' defeat by
Mr.. Kolb. Now Mr.. Kolb is not in
it. We mention these facts to re-
mind our readers that there is moth
ing in the claims of the Buchanan
crowd. 1t is only little way these
gentlemen have of claiming the
earth. We have heard before Of
" hat "the north side OF the river"
would do. We remember to have
heard w. o. WitherspOOn say two
wears ago that certain independent
candidate for Sheriff would 1'sweep
the north side of the river" and you
remember how that little boom pc
ter d out. 1t is true perhaps that the
north side OF the river mas more SUI
treasury men and third party men
han any other part of the county,
out there are also hundreds of
straight alI-woOl Democrats over
there and they will decorate them
selves in wal paint this summer. A
a further evidence of their extrava-
giant claims we might mention the
fact that the Hon. w. ]. WhitthOrne
claims the Columbia district for
Buchanan. OF course Mr.. Whit
thorne knows better, and this is only
an innocent way he has of entertain
ing his audiences by startling state
ments. Too many of us have fought
the "oId mans battles" in line with
Whit, and we know his tricks.

THE Current made its appearance
last Friday. 1t endorses the Ocala
platform and John P. Buchanan.
We presume Brother Gordon has
either chosen his candidate to suit his
platform, or his platform to suit his
candidate. Since Mr.. Buchanan will
not speak for himself, we must judge
him by his organs. We therefore
put him down for the Ocala plat
form. Our readers are familiar with
the telephone, telegraph, railroad,
land loan and sub-treasury PROPOSE
tions contained in this paternalistic
platform. Mr. Buchanan, we fairly
infer from his organs, favors them
all. Judge Turney opposes them. 1t
is not question of man but one of
principle. Choose ye, Democrats, be-
tw cen the two.

The friends of Gov. Buchanan are in
dulging in great deal of very cheap
demagogy. One illustration is their
characterization of his opponents as
"kid- glove politicians" Gov. Bucb-
anan has been politician and an office
hunter ever since he was old enough to
vote. He has devoted at least one
summer out of every two to the bust
ness of running for office. We have no
objection to that, but it is not becoming
in a chronic office-seeker, who has habi-
tually left his corn in the grass while
candidating for soft snaps, to class him
self with the horny-handed toiler as
against the "politicians."

The Commercial tries to serve the
people aud the democratic party by
printing the news and telling the truth
1t has convictions and it has the nerve
to advocate and defend them. It has
no patience with the clam, the coward
or the straddler. The newspaper
which seeks popularity by opposing
nothing and pandering to everything is
welcome to all it can hope to gain by
such methods. The Commercial is not
afraid of making enemies when it is
telling the truth and fighting for the
right. 1t believes that Ocalaism and
all it's heresies are undemocratic and
anti Democratic sto the core, and it
wants the democratic party to put itself

What a spectacle corrupt and careless
legislators are affording the public. In
Chicago the people through the courts
are seeking protection from their dis
honest representatives. In New York
public mass meetings are the thing OF
the day to protest against rotten Tam
many legislation at Albany. In New
Jersey the people had to rally at Tren-
ton to save the State from the con-
sequences of the acts of its lawmakers.
In Philadelphia the town meeting Is
again to the fore to voice the indigna-
ton of the people at the Indifference
shown by the council to the city's needs
and so it goes. All this energy ex-
pended on town meetings and in ex-
pressions of personal wrath and in seek
ing relief at the hands of the grand
jury might have been made unneces-
sary, and the evils impossible, if every
citizen exercised his rights at the pri-
maries and the polls. An ounce OF
energy then is worth a pound of agita-
ton after has been Installed the venal
or ignorant representative.

Ed Huebner, formerly of this city,
was elected county attorney of Sibley

it is Democratic county. Two years
ago he lacked three votes Of being
elected. He Will make valuable of.
ficer.
An addition to the paint shop OF
the Fibreware works has just been
completed. 1t is 25 by feet and is
two stories high. A track will be
built across from the factory connect.
ing the second stories. This will make
1t necessary to elevate the goods but
once instead of three times, as at pres
ent. The company has received an
order for carload of its goods to be
shipped to Denver.
"A Washington dispatch in last
evenings Minneapolis Journal says:
w. b. Craig, of Mankato, who was
the lowest bidder on contract for the
erection of new federal public build
ing at that place will probably be per-
mitted to do the work. The depart
ment is still in correspondence with
him relative to the class of stone to
be used. Specimens that he has al
ready sent in are not entirely salts
factory to the officials, and when the
right quality of stone is received the
contract will be duly awarded to him
without doubt.
The desirability of the use of Man
kato stone in the building has been
too often stated by the FREE PRESS
to need repetition. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that Mankato stone has
no superior for building purposes,
while its comparative Cheapness will
permit of the public building being
made larger than it could be of any
other stone. We hope that it will be
demonstrated 10 the department that
ManKato has the right quality of
stone.
