The Times also lies when it says that

Mr.. Mahaney, during the canvass two
years ago, at Mr.. Kinsella's, below Wi.

two were not together over two hours
thereafter before election. Mahuney and
Streeter were not together in Selz The

Its DoleHul wall.

Four years ago Mr.. Dugald Campbell
was democrat, and was present in the
democratic convention at Winona. Mr..
Armstrong was the chief worker for him
in the republican convention, and got
him indorsed for commissioner. The
writer did not go around the county at
that time stating that Mr.. Campbell was
a republican, as the Wlnona Times
charger. The latter made no claim then
to being republican, and everybody
knew he was not a republican. There
was no hue and cry raised then, when the
voters of this republican district chose
Mr.. Campbell commissioner. Yet Mr..
Braddock, a republican, wanted the office.
Notwithstanding these facts, the Winona
Times howls dolefully because the writer
supported Mr.. Margach, democrat, last
fall. against a republican who said he
didn't want the office. Was it any worse
for Strecter to support Margach, demo-
crat, than it was for Armstrong TO sup
port Campbell, democrats

The Winona Times lies, as usual, when
it says that four years ago we insisted
that Mr.. Campbell should receive the re.
publican nomination for commissioner.
The writer, in the presence of witness,
told Mr.. Armstrong, when he first spoke
of Mr.. Campbell for the place, why he
Was not particularly favorable to him.
Mr.. Armstrong Was wholly aud entirely
responsible for the nomination and elec.
ton of Campbell over Braddock. And
he should have nothing to regret in the
matter either, for Braddock would have
been holy terror as commissioner.

early in the morning it was seen that
there would be large crowd present.
The new church is in the midst of a very

to those near by, people began to arrive
from distant parts Of Emmons county,

few from Kidder, until by 8 o'clock there
was crowd in attendance variously es.

IT is amusing to those citizens who
have been here long enough to know just
what has taken place in bygone years, in
political way, to read stuff in the
Winona Times that every one Of the m
knows is untrue. Isn't it funny, any way ?
Here is Patterson, who has neither priu
ciple enough TO run fair horse race nor
sense enough to understand an ordinary
political situation; and Macclellan, the
old democratic editor, who says Provi-
dencc sent him to the county, and who
must of necessity get his chief knowledge
of past events from Patterson. Yet these
two worthless rant and roar about matters
political that have happened in this coun-
ty as though they knew all about it. They
have made some statements, in their wild
desire to please the Armstrong Van Beck
combine, that they will have to attempt
to prove, later On. Some time ago the
writer, having received dirty letter, in
the interest of public dccency, had the
writer arrested. The Times said ''Streeter
had poor woman arrested for writing
what was true" Last week the Times
said that Streeter offered $50 to John
Miller for yotes." The Times can discuss
the politics of the writer as much as it
wants to. That's all right. But when the
dirty, contemplate. lying whelps-M Mac.
clellan and Patterson. whom the writer
can prove to be dirty, lying whelps-
make such assertions as the above, after
our denial, and with no attempt to prove
it, the only lawful remedy is to give them
an opportunity to prove their charges or
stand the punishment for their malicious
libel. The Record has made no charge in
the bribery matter against the TIMES saint,
Mr.. Armstrong, which cannot be borne
out by showing Of facts, and great
many more facts than have yet been pub
lished. The Record has given crcumstan u
tial evidence which Mr.. Armstrong him.
self has stated looks suspicious. and has
asked him to explain, and, as good cit
izen, state that he is in sympathy with
those who discovered the crime and
caused 1t to be punished. Certainly there
ought, at least, to be some assurance that
there IS a disposition on the part of those
who did the work TO forego such crooks
edness in future. The Record now asks
Macclellan and Patterson for proof that
the statements Of the Times, that the
charges In the obscene letter were true 1t
also asks for proof that the writer ever
offered $50 10 John Miller or any one else
for church, either with or without a
promise of votes? And we tell this de-
lectable pair right now that they must
either bring proof or acknowledge them
selves to be what every citizen of the
county knows them to be-a brace of un.
principled, lying scoundrels. -.

they might obtain means to journey to

were sold for $500 to those wishing to
