s.Ss Fined to the peculiar methods by which
sases state government and it's patronage
is manipulated. They very much prefer
someone who can appear for their amuse-
ment as political gymnast in showing
how many and amusing positions he can
take and maintain upon such great
financial issues as the tariff. 1t certainly
must be potent political necessity that
compelled the Republican party to select
for it's leader in this state q man who
four years ago was political outcast-'--
one to succor and fellowship which was
then pronounced rank party treason.
He had great confidence in the patriotism
and integrity of the people OF Minnesota,
and he did not believe that they would
select for the highest Office in their gift
a warmed-over tariff reformer rugged out
in one OF Bill AIcKinley's old suits OF
clothes. If elected, he promised that he
would bs the peoples servant. They
will not Fl d that the geto power has been
placed in pawn to thy wealthy corpora

james, the four-year-old little son of
Aid. Flynn, of Fargo, got hold OF pow

Judge J. F. O'Brien, the Democratic
nominee for congress for North Dakota,
WAS bern in Canada in 1858. He re-
moved to st. Paul with hlsparents when
three years old, and as boy attended
the public schools OF that city. In 1868
he entered the law office of /. Y. d.
Heard, and was admitted to the bar in
1874 when twenty -one years OF age, The
following year he was elected special
Judge OF the municipal court, which po-
sition he held until 1883, when he re-
moved 10 DEVILS Lake, N. D., where he
has since resided, continuing the practice
of his profession, in which he has met
| with distinguished success. In 1883 he
was elected district attorney, next year q
member of the constitutional convention,
and the following fall he received the
! unanimous nomination for judge o. the
seco, d judicial district OF the state. He
| was chosen permanent chairman OF the
first Democratic state convention, and
was elected ore of the six delegates to
the national Democratic convention.
Judge O'Brien's success is attributable
to his integrity Of character, his ability
as lawyer and his jealous guardianship
OF all business intrusted to his care. He
will undoubtedly be elected to congress
by very large majority.

| The Catholic Citizen, of Milwaukee,
says that a luridly bigoted work on peda-
gogy is used in the state normal school.
It is by Gabriel Conpayre, French
atheist, whq is especially severe on the
Jesuits, and it has been translated by
Prof. Payne, of the University of Michi-
gan. The Catholics strongly object to it
as text book, and the fight against it
will probably be carried on in connection
with the attack that is being made on
