A celebrated German physician was once
called upon 70 treat an arIstocratic lady,
the sole cause of whose complaint was
high living and lack Of exercise, says the
Chicago Ners. But 1t would never do to
tell her so, so his medical advice ran thus !:

park for one hour. then drink cup Of tea,
then walk another hour and take cup Of
chocolate. Take breakfast at g"
Her condition improved visibly until one
fine morning the carriage OF the Baroness
was seen to approach the physicians resi-
dence at lightning speed.
The patient dashed up 10 the doctors
office, and on his appearing on the scene
she gasped out: "Oh, doctor, | took the
chocolate first"
"Then drive home as fast as you can"
calculated the astute disciple of Esculap,
rapidly writing prescription. and take
this emetic. The tea must be under

She is still improving.

CAMPAIGN CULLINGs.

The Republican candidates for the offices
in Ramsey county are cunning lot. They
have heard the slogan, and they are not go
ing broke chasing rainboWs. They have left
their county committee in a hole, and say
s'let them get out the best way they can"
They are not going to throw away good
money for nothing. They are whipped. and
they know it.
j. August Nilsson is making lively race
in the Third ward for the Legislature, and is
sure to come in several lengths ahead of his
spawned and foot-sore competitor, e. M. Orr.
The Republican is not in it with Nilsson,
and he evidently knows it; SO he is not vast
ing any more campaign money. he will be
ashamed to own that he was candidate
when the votes are counted.
The Republican state committee is sending
out more campaign literature than the COM
bined amount sent out by all other parties.
So say the express companies Eastern mo-
nopolists are putting up big money to save
Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Betting is peculiar. There are supposed to
be a host of people at the Windsor, and the
Windsor is run on Republican principles
and by Republicans. If you please, who allege
money to wager on Harrison. On the other
hand there are hundreds of confident Demo
Gratis in st. Paul who are trying to place
their money on Cleveland.

yesterday, 1.-The Mckinley bill has not

price of clothing. But ask you, is it
reasonable that when the rates are in

prices must be reasonable? Or that
they must remain at figure at which
the poor as we'll as the rich may buyo
Facts and conditions answer this queS-
ton. Let me see. The Innings are shoddy,
the cloths are not so good sfor the price
and that is the way the people are
sWindled. The laboring man particu-
larly,is the victim to the swindle. Silks,
diamonds. sealskins, and things that
are beyond the salary of the laboring
man-why, the tariff pamphlet is ali elo-
quent argument. Ii man is wealthy

How a Renegade Secured a PeO-
pies Party Nomination.
notice by the public press that John
McLellan-the hoodlum Independent
candidate-has also been made the nom
inee of the PEOPLES party for legislative
honors in the Ninth ward.
As Peoples party man since its first
inception, | think il a duty [ owe my
brother voters to make known the man
her and means adopted to place this
paid hirellng of epubIicanism-M Nc
Lebanon the Peoples party ticket. SO
that they may judge of the worth of the
man and act accordingly. Some couple
months ago the Peoples party in this
city held legislative convention, at
which McLellan's name was sub
nlitted as the legislative nominee
from the Ninth ward. 1T was rejected
almost unanimously, and that of NJ. j.
OBrien selected. After canvassing the
electors as far as the condition OF things
permitted him, and seeing the utter
hopeleSSn9SS OF being elected, as well as
the danger which continuance Of his
candidacy would entail upon the success
of the regular Democratic nominee. the
friend of the wage-earnerS Of the ward,
K. A. Walsh, Mr.. O'Brien, with pur-
pose truly laudable, rendered his resig
nation. Thereupon MesSTS. Eckford and
Wallrath, two members OF the Peoples
party executive committee, from
motives which stink at the nos
trls of every politically honest
man, and without one atom of authority
substituted the name of Mcclellan on
the party ticket. AS soon as the mem
berS of the county committee-whose
duty it was to secure substitute
heard Of this high-handed and con.
temptible proceeding they, in meeting
assembled, unanimously hurled the
name Of Mcclellan from off the list of
Peoples party candidates. and declared
that if Mr.. O'Brien would not remain
on the ticket the ward should be left
open," and instructed their officers to
notify the county auditor that McLel-
Ian, who in the meantime had sneaked
in his Peoples party nomination papers,
was not the Peoples party nominee.
The next day-Whch was the last for
receiving nomination papers-in direct
opposition to the resolution of the
county committee of the evening pre-
vious, the aforesaid Walrath, with
kn0W-nOthing named Tinney and
gentleman named Reid, who was igno-
rant OF the action of the county commit
tee, secretly met, and, constituting
themselves the Peoples party in its en-
tirety, certified to the nomination OF this
political marauder. Mcclellan. Totter-
ing indeed must be the candidature of
any man who has to stoop to such low,
sneaking, undetermined and itinerant
methods to receive any nomination, and
equally degrading must be the unprn-
cipled men who would offer one under
such suspicious circumstances.
Mcclellan was never Peoples party
man, and his modern sympathy with the
movement is but the froth Of his hire
ling Republicanism; and l call upon
every Peoples party voter i'll the Ninth
ward to denounce him on election day
by voting solid for the best friend the
workingmen of the Ninth ward ever had
