THE ReuieoO, in it's effort to swallow
the distasteful legislative ticket
placed before it by the Democratic
convention, says that the gentlemen
''were nominated as Democrats, and
as such will receive cordial support"
Pratt, O'COnnOr and Howard had
already been nominated by the Popu-
lists, and in accepting, were forced by
resolution to declare their allegiance
to the Populist platform and pledged
to give it their undivided support. If,
therefore, as the Recieao contends,
these gentlemen were nominated as
Democrats, then anything can be con-
strued as Democratic. Who ever
heard of Howard being a Democrat.
He was for years Republican office
holder, and when let down, went off
to the Alliance and thence to the
Populists but never to the Democrats.
Messrs. Pratt and O'Connor years ago
renounced Democracy, and yet these
gentlemen have been nominated as
Democrats! And having been pre-
viously nominated as Populists, will
some one please. arise and tell us where
they are at?

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Next week occurs the Blue Earth
county fair at Garden City. The
management has been doing every
thing possible to make it one of the
most successful ever held in the
county, and in this they ought to have
the cooperation Of every farmer and
citizen. When the season is taken in
to consideration and agricultural re-
suits here are compared with those of
many communities, Blue Earth county
has nothing to complain of, but rather
much to be thankful for, and with
such bountiful crops, ought to make
an extremely fine showing at the fair.
Fairs are mile-stones in agricultural
progress, and the more complete they
are made, the better they mark the
advance of the farmers. The reports
which we receive from the manage
ment indicate that the interest in the
fair is widespread throughout the
county, and that not only will the at
tendance be large, but that the eX-
hibits in all departments will be eX-
tensive and of the finest. Standing as
one of the best agricultural counties
in the state, there is no reason why it's
county fair should not lead in it's eX-
cellent qualities, and this seems to be
what it is going to do this year.

What Do You Take Medicine For?

Because you are sick, and want to
get well, of course.
Then remember, that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla Cures.
ALI we ask is, that in taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla you will do so with per-
severance equalling or approaching
the tenacity with which your COM
plant has chung to you. 1t takes
time and care to eradicate old and
deep-seated maladies, particularly
when they have been so long hidden
in the system that they have become
chronic. Remember, that all perma-
nent and positive cures are brought
about with reasonable moderation.
Hoods Sarsaparilla attacks disease
vigorously and never leaves the field
until it has conquered.

| 1t is claimed that 81 out of the
40 delegates in the Democratic county
convention were Irish-Americans.
The Germans had no representation
anywhere in proportion to that OF the
Irish, which may account for the fact
that they were so poorly represented
on the ticket nominated, wherever
there was an Irish-American candi-
date. the German stood no show, and
the Welsh were completely turned
down. Our German friends should
not forget their treatment when 1T
comes to voting. 1t is at the polls
that parties are disciplined. From
the talk which we have heard in the
lower wards, we should Judge that no
hint is needed for the German vote to
show its power in the Democratic
party They have been expected to
vote the Democratic ticket straight
and let the other fellows have the
offices, and they are getting tired OF
their shabby treatment.
In Tuesdays Democratic conven-
ton, the informal ballot on treasurer
showed that 100 votes had been cast,
whereas the convention was entitled
to ITO delegates. On the formal bal
lot 119 votes were cast. This would
seem to show that ten delegates in
dividually undertook to supply the
missing vote, in addition to his own.
Here was a case where the same
thought struck ten men. Such a dis
interested effort to supply the full
vote is worthy to be concentrated
with a monument emblazoned with
the word "Honesty."
Why not put the new tariff law

A DEMOCRATIC leader in talking of
the tariff question is reported as say
ing that he did not believe in unlimit-
ed free trade, and did not believe his
party would take that position, but
that the present tariff bill
was a step in the right direction and
would be followed by others. Just how
many such steps would be taken,
where they would lead to, when they
would stop, and where the line would
be drawn he did not pretend to say
