Little Falls weekly transcript., 1894-10-12
Political Points.

wear was held at Elm Dale on Tues
day evening, and number OF po--
litical addresses were made. G.. a..
Lindbergh made the principal speech
of the evening. '.# u
One or more country meetings Will
be held in Morrison county nearly
every evening from now till election.
The Republican cause-national,
state and county-will be plainly
placed before the voters this cam
paign. ~
1t is a great accommodation (?) to
the people who receive small orders
from the county to find deputy
county officer in a neighboring room
who will kindly buy the order, and
make a good percentage OF profit.
1t il Just done as an accommodation
to the holder of the order, but 1t Is Il
nice source OF profit to the buyer. If
the county was run on cash basis
one member of the court house gang
would have no reason to rejoice.
No, gentle reader, Hon. F. X. La
fond, candidate for county treasurer,
has never keep books for a brewery
and collected the beer bills, SO, OF
course, his opponents doubt his bus
mess ability. However, the leading
business men and heavy tax payers
of Little Falls who are supporting
Mr.. Lafond know perfectly well that
he is in livery way qualified to fill the
office. and there is no occasion to
waste time discussing that point.
No man acquainted with the canai-
date opposed to the county gang for
a moment questions his ability. May
be he would not get the Overdraft
system down so fine as the present
incumbent, but then he doesn't have
to do SO in performing his duties.
Don't fail to hear Hon. F. f. Duyis
ut the court house this evening.
Are there any court house deputy
ships getting away from the Ger
mans this year? Well, hardly, if the
gang win. 1t is a wonder that
everybody doesn't jump into line for
that outfit.
The $4,000 beauties are beginning
to show signs Of weariness. The
present social season is Il very trying
one for them. One trouble is that
the leader of the orchestra at the
lively dances cannot keep all the
musicians in harmony, and the dane
ers get demoralized. Some of Prof.
Fortier's orchestra insist on break
ing out with LA Marseillaise' when
he insists that" die Wacht am Rhein"
has got to go. Fortier doesn't like
che program himself. but he just
wants to show the. Germans that
their effort to defeat him for the
nomination for coroner is accepted
with meekness. Kindly imagine Dr..
Fortier mourning over the defeat of
Meyer and Ellenbecker. You may be
able to imagine it, confiding reader,
but some'Of the defeated Democratic
candidates will be kind OF skeptical.
Call at the Republican Head
quarters in the Butler block, day or
evening.
If Stumpf and his crowd had sue
ceeded in cutting down the Pierz as
sessment t this year to less than hall the
former amount, he might have made
some of his constituents believe that
he was cunning enough to aid in in
creasing the county debt $4,000 a
year without having it cost them
any thing. Since that plan failed his
people are calling him down pretty
hard. AS soon as the people OF Rich
Prairie fully appreciate that they
will pay a large part of the expense
of the Encouragement and extrava-
gance of county affairs they will be
the most earnest and emphatic in
demanding a change. They are en-
phatically opposed to establishing
public debts, and when they are en-
tirelyuncalled for no personal orparty
feelings will secure an endorsement
of such conditions. The gang will
have very interesting time cx-
planning county finances to the con-
servative Rich Prairie people this
fall.
