MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. II, l895.-Sen-
ator Nelson and ex-senator Washburn
are both for Davis! Ex-Governor Mer-
riam and ex-governor McGill are both
for Davis! Tams Bixby and Gene
Hay are both for Davis (hic). Poor
Davis!
How harmless it is for Minnesota
politician to shout, ''Hurrah for Davis
for PRESIDENT when the poor man has
not got ghost of a show before the
primaries. Every Reed man, every
Allison man, and every Mckinley sup
porter can go to and howl for Davis
with perfect impunity without in the
least endangering his candidate, and
thatSis. what they are all doing. A
dead duck, like Davis, is a shining
mark for harmless wadding.

Mr.. Lowry will go up toward Anoks
and dam Coon Creek, but he won't be
able to dam the eloque flow of Old
Pease; although if he could, he coul6
run a saw-mill and an electric power
plant by it. Pease won't stand it to be
dam med; not by a saw-mill site.
Clshman Z. Davis announces thai
his birthday is on the day. Of {. the
national Republican convention. l.
take it back-Mr. Davis has one quail
fication.
The fashion has changed regarding
the date for Christmas, as you may
have observed if you read last Sun
days Twin City dailies. Exigencies
of advertising, you know, require thai
Christmas should come on Dec. 18th
instead of Dec. 25th, and that is why
the Christmas issues came out last
Sunday. St. Nick and the historians
are ten days too slow for these times o.
blanket ''ad" sheets. Let the New
Testament be revised.
I. !;
Hon. T. 3. Walker will revise the
tariff schedules, and he has issued the
brochure to do it. But he needs also ;
sinecure, a faith-cure, and a paten'
medicine cure-all, if he expects to de
it in the present state of public senti
ment. People are not interested IL
dead horses.

Mr.. Lowry received 100000 nickel!

was somewhat previous in announc
ing last week that congressional can
didate F. r. Davis had come out fo1
free silver, and was going to address
the Gold and Silver club in expression
of his views. Mr.. Davis adroitly anc
modestly declined, deeming it the part
of wisdom to retain his profound view:
on that theme for the dim future-af
ter the primaries are oyer, say. Con
gressional candidate John Day Smith
however, has the courage of his con
victions, and is willing to express then
before the club, having accepted ar
invitation to that end. Towne anc
