NOTES FROM EXCHANGES.

MankatO Review: Mr.. Biermann'S s
letter is instructive in the fact that it
shows the necessity of having an hon
est aud incorruptible man in the state
auditors office. The interests involved
are so vast, the tempta tiOn to accept
bribes SO great and the tendency of
the times to make money SO general,
that the people would see to it, laying
aside all matters of party politics, that
thoroughly honest conscientious and
trusty man is elected this fall.
Litchtield Independent: The state
OF Minnesota has now over two million
dollars in its treasury, of which over
million belongs to the revenue fund.
1t seems needless to concentrate so
much cash and keep it out of the
the hands of the people to whom it be-
longs. Couldn't the state be run on a
smaller margin? About a million and
a half of the sum is deposited in St.
Paul and Minneapolis banks. The
banks pay no interest, we understand,
when they should pay at least per
cent on monthly balances.
Waseca Herald: The Minneapolis
Journal processes great fear that for
eign capital will leave this state in
L.
the fact that Owen is known at home
as a safe and conservative man would
cut no figure. The mere fact that he
is Populist would be enough to keep
outside money at distance. If Owen
can dO more to destroy confidence in
the East than Menage and the rest of
the Minneapolis snide fnanciers have
already done he has more power in this
line than we give him credit with.
Minneapolis men and institutions, up
held and indorsed by the Journal, have
done more to place the state in false
and undesirable light before the fnan-
cial world than Owen could do were he
elected governor for life.
ST. Paul Herald: The Herald is in
favor of the Hon. S. NJ. Owen for gov
ernOr Of this state for the reason that
he represents the true principles of
democracy and stands for the lights of
tue people instead of ring rule and po-
litical jobbery. We support S. NJ.
Owen for the reason that seven out of
every ten Democrats in the state of
Minnesota propose to do the same. re-
gardless of whatever action may be
taken by the machine bosses who have
for years past used the Democratic
party in this state for personal gain
and as tail to the corporation kite.
We are for 1gnatius Donnelly for
United States senator for the same
reason that we support S. M. Owen
and pin our faith to the successful
election of both candidates. 1t is high
time the people should rule.
Hartford Comm Express: Three
daily papers are being boycotted in
Minneapolis by the organized trades
and those who sympathze with the
cause of labor as against plutOcracy.
This is an indication at least that
some eyes are beginning to open that
have long been closed in industrial
slumber. Now if each boycotter in
Minneapolis would only turn in and
boom the paper or papers in that city
fighting for his cause, it would show a
wakefulness complete. And by the
way we know of no better paper Of the
kind in the whole nation than the
REPRESENTATIVE, in which that man
forth weekly-the patriotic Ignatius
Donnelly. And what applies to Min
neapolis applies equally we'll nearer
home.
Waseca Herald: The only use the
St. Paul and Minneapolis political
political managers for the Republi-
cans of the country is to re-elect Sena-
tor Washburn The private interest
of the two great cities. which is to
crush all the smaller towns by railroad
is the issue, and the
small fry politicians of the country are
expected to surrender to Washburn.
St. Cloud Times (Dem.): The Re
publican papers in the Seventh dis
trict and thereabouts, now that Frank
NJ. Eddy is nominated for congress,are
unanimous in declaring him to be all
that a model Republican candidate
should be. But "salt petre," no, nor
even st. Peter, can't save him from the
that Boen will administer to
him.
st. Cloud Times (Dem.): The ones
who are most worried over the thought
of fusion in state politics are the Re-
publicans. There are candidates on
that ticket who are working night and
day among Democratic acquaintance
to convince them what a dreadful
thing it would be for Democrats to in
dorse the Populist ticket, or even
make nc nOminatio In the light Of
this Republican effort, and in view Of
the defeat of Nelson and the monopO-
listic ticket, there would be worse
things in politics than letting Owen
and his associates havea clear field.
Still, we are against fusion.
