kNUTE NELSON.

THE rumors set afloat, calculated to
weaken the candidacy of Governor Mel
son for re election, that he was a candi-
date for the United States senate to sue
coed General Washburn, have been 70
ever set at rest by the unequivocal utter
ances of the Governor himself. At a
large meeting held at Albert Lea, the
governor demonstrated the stuff he is
made of in ringing speech which demon.
strates more clearly than ever his
eminent fitness to be the chief magistrate
OF this great state of Minnesota. OAR
ing the course of his speech he showed
that the only hope of effective and wise
legislation in this state lay in the
election of republican legislators He
then pointed out that there were other
reasons why republican legislators
should he chosen. There was United
States senator to be elected upon whose
vote on these matters he had been dis
cussing much depended. 1t was import
ant that the man selected should be a
staunch an able republican. The COVER
nor than took bis audience into his
confidence. He had been accused, he
said, OF being q candidate for the senate
and for the governorsllip at the same
time. That was not true. He was a
candidate for governor. He wanted to
be elected governor, aud If elected ex-
pected to serve out his term But he
was not, had not been, would not be, a
candidate for the senate. He hoped that
some such man as Senator Washburn
would be elected to fill that seat, and it
was the paramount duty of the hour
to send republican legislators to ST.
Paul who would encompass that result.
In commenting upon it the Evening
Journal OF Minneapolis says:
In his speech Saturday night Governor
Nelson said very specifically and EN-
pLatically that he had never been n
candidate for United States Senator.
and is not now; that lie is a candidate
for governor and wants to be elected,
and If lie is elected lie expects to serve
out his term. He could not say more
than that. nor could he have said it
under circumstances calculated to empha-
size the statement more strongly than
this occasion afforded. Senator Wash
burn was present on the platform
and made q speech the same evening.
WHAT he has said will undoubtly be very

it appear that there was conflict Of
interests between such representative

and it removes any doubt in tie minds

THE state ticket of Minnesota is one
OF the strongest and best ever nominal
ed, and sure winner. There is not a
weak spot in it. The only democrat
elected to any executive office for quar-.
ter of a century, the present auditor. A.
Biermann, has proved himself wholly
incompetent, if not worse, and the state
through the instrumentalitv OF r. G..
Dunn. the republican candidate for that
office, has recovered tens OF thousands
ofdollars from parties who have defraud
ed the state, trough business transact
ed with Biermann. The issue is plain-re-
publican capability and integrity against
democratic incompetency and fraud.

There is hardly one of us individually
