The Democracy of old Scott Is prom
ising to poll an immense vote for Gen.
Becker and the entire Democratic tick
ct this year. A hard local fight is being
waged, but all parties to it are Demo-
Gratis, and will vie with each other in

When Sibley county is called in the
next state senate she will respond with
one of the abest members ever sent to
the upper house of the legislature from

now judge of the Seventh dis
trlct; liinds, of Scott; Poehler and
Welsh, of Sbley; Doran, then
of LIE Sueur; Buck and Meagher, of
Blue Earth, and a score of others are
recalled, but it is true. The name of
this gentleman is Hon. w. H. Leeman,
the next senator from Sibley. MIR. Lee
man will be able to accomplish great
deal tor his county, and the Democrats
are entitled to the thanks of the people
of the state for presenting his name.
The Crookston Times says: "Tams
BixbY, chairman of the Republican GEN.
trail committee, predicts tDat Knute

eightesn and twenty thousand. Of
course Tams does not believe this, but
he has to earn his salary some way"

The friends of Senator s. D. Peterson
are getting very tired Of hearing the
opposition rake up the Window contest
of dozen years ago. They claim that
he was not instructed for Window, aud
then point TO the fact that three of the
men who aided in downing Senator
Window were Capt. II. A. Castle, Sen
ator G. K. Davis. and eX-Congressman
John Lind. Each one of these gentle
men are, and have for two years been
very fierce In their denunciations OF
their old partner.
The Republican politicians in the
Fifteenth judicial district made up their
minds awhile back to defeat Judge Hol-
land for reelection, and after vast
deal of swapping. in which they threw
overheard the only competent man in
the field, Hon. Leon E. Lum, of Brain
erd, they succeeded IN nominating 2. V.
Coppernoll, of Wadena. A non-partisan
convention nominated Judge Holland,
and now about three-quarters of the
Republicans and all the Democrats and
Fopulists in the district are supporting
Judge Holland. and his reelection is
assured.

voting from one to two columns daily
the past week i'll endeavoring to solve

and Joel P. Heatwoie, and trying to
prove that the former is managing
Heatwole's campaign."-Mazeppa Trib-
une.
Fast friends is good. And Joel has
not heard his fast friend" speak
word against Senator Washburn.
-.
State Oil Inspector Foote actually fig
ures out majority for Knute Nelson.
This is almost as remarkable as claim
put forward by Chairman Tams Bixby.
Foote'S figures were used as live news
yesterday by the Minneapolis journal.
-
In this connection it is an Interesting
coincidence that this same Oil Inspector
Foote is daily sitting on newspaper row
in Minneapolis claiming the overwhelm-
ing defeat of Senator Washburn.- And
| Knute Nelson is not candidate for
United States senator. In the Eighth
ward of Minneapolis, which MIR. FOOte
honors by his residence, it is said that
his fight Oh Senator Washburn will cost
| Gov. Nelson several hundred votes.
