Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1892-11-17

the picture OF our governor-elect, the
Hon. knute Nelson, so that every
one may become familiar with the
honest and manly features OF the
man who is to fill the executive chair
in this state for the next two years.
| One reads in every feature, honesty,
kindness, firmness and decision
When the republican party selected
knute Nelson for their standard
bearer in this state they made no
mistake, and we are satisfied that
he will give to this commonwealth a
clean, able and efficient administra-
ton, that will meet the approval OF
the great mass OF the people.
No sooner was Mr.. Nelson nomi-
mated, than the St. Paul Globe and
the Great West, including also the
whole democratic and populist press
and their campaign speakers, com
menced to turn their mud batteries
against him. No candidate for gov
ernOr was ever so much lied about
and abused as has been Mr.. Nelson.
1t had ought to make the democrat
ic and peoples party leaders blush
with shame when they look back
upon the work which they have done
during the past two months. They
have resorted to every means, both
fair and foul, known to partisan
politics, to injure Mr.. Nelson and
cause his defeat; they have appealed
to the worst passions OF humanity,
, to ignorance, to race prejudice, to
money, as we'll as to persuasive ar
gument. They have lied about Mr..
Nelson's blameless record, and have
| tried to make him out to be q devil
in human form, who was plotting
the destruction OF the state. But it
is gratifying that the intelligence
and sober common sense of the peo-
pie of this state have triumphed, and
that the people did not allow them
selves to be blinded and deceived by
hypocricy and rank falsehood. Even
though a majority in u few counties
in this corner OF the state had the
wool pulled over their eyes and crop
ed after the Donnelly phantom,
still people in other parts of the state
knew better, and their votes show
! that they have no use for Donnelly.
He has received only about 10000
/ votes, being third man in the race,
and can hardly be said to have been
in it, ut all. He did not get near
the Vote that Mr.. Owen did two
years ago.
Knnte Nelson has made II Won
derful canvass. His speech making.
tour has been one Of continued vic
tories He did meet the people and
discussed with them the political
questions OF the day in his simple,
elrnest and straight forward way,
which did not fail to convince, and
wherever he went he gained votes.
This is plainly Illustrated in Grant
county where that trouble occurred
at his meeting at Elbow Lake. The
returns show that Nelson received
| 79l votes to LAWYERS 3O3 and Don-
nelly's 194-considerably more than
the combined vote OF both LAWYER
and Donnelly That same county
gave Owen 912 votes two years ago.
At Mcintosh the populists attempt
ed to create a disturbance, but Mr..
Nelson stepped right into the midst
OF the hooting and cursing crowd,
asked them what they wanted Of
him, and told them that he had
heard the rebel yell before, and was
not afraid OF them. The people af-
forwards listened attentively to his
speech in which he told them some
plain truths.
4 We are well aware that many of
our readers have opposed Knute
Nelson, but we believe that a major
]ity have done SO because they were
mislead by the false and malicious
i reports concerning him. That he
i will give us a good, honest and inn
i partial administration we firmly be-
4 lieve. At the ratification meeting in
I Alexandria Mr.. Nelson was called
upon and explained his being waited
upon by q cOmmitte claiming to re-
i present 5000 votes and asking
! that he sign certain papers to secure
their support. He told Of his refus-
Eal and said: I go in without having
made any promises to any combine,
corporation or persons, and shall
|en;lcayor todo right because it is
right land / shall endeavor to give an
ministration OF the people, for the
people and by the people.
