REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.


Alex Chisholm of Paynesville is the
democratic nominee tor the legislature
in this district. the selection being made
by methods which do not commend
themselves to the rank and file of the
party. Joseph Kraker was slaughtered
by combination purely personal, and
the convention defied the will Oft vast
minority OF the party it purports to
represent. What more natural then,
than the independent candidacy OF
Joseph kraker, which will be officially
announced within the next twcnty-four
hours.
The populisis nominated A. NJ. Stiles
OF Ashley, at a legislative convention
held at Spring Hill on Monday last, and
it is presumed that he will carry the
great bulk of the populist vote-an un-
certain though large quantity in this
district. : - ~
The repmbIicars have called 1e2isla-
tive convention for ncxt Monday to be
held at Belgrade. when n candidate will
b. nominated, aud there is abundant
reason for believing that, providing a
wise selection he then made, he will be
elected. 1t practically narrows down to
q single handed contest between the
republican and populIst candidate, and
in that event the republicans have an ex-
ccIlent fighting show. As shown by the

considerate and discharges what is often
a most disagreeable task in manner

Here is an object lesson, one which

Certainly it does not--for it knows bet

folly unworthy the Times. The HERALD
will concede that during the past two
years large quantities of goods including
wooden goods, silk goods and merchan-
disc Of all kinds have sold, in many
Instances. much cheaper than under the
republican rule. Bankrupt sales have
been SO numerous that the markets have
been glutted with their offerings. All
classes OF farm products have also sold
for much less than formerly.
