! "There is steadily.increasing oppo-
| sltlon in Minnesota to the reelection Of
| Senator Washburn. None of it comes
from feeling that he is unfit for the
! place; that he has neglected his duty or
| is not worthy in all respects of being
| returned. Some of 1t is for local Iea-
! sons, some of it is purely mereenary
and Is nursed in the hope that money
| concessions can be forced from his
| friends, and some comes from the feel
| ing that if he is likely to be beaten that
! it is good plan to have local candl-
date in the field. Whatever motive has
! led Hon. S. G. Comstock, of Moorhead.
| to enter the field as a candidate, as he
| has done, his eminent fitness for the
place is recognized. Fargo Argus.
| The above is very correct sizing up
| Of the situation.-FerguS Falls Journal.
The entrance Of Gov. Nelson into the
senatorial arena, with Comstock and
McCleary already in. and a dozen
others on the threshold, makes Gen.
| Washburn's chances more than doubt
| full; he is defeated man. But what of
his successor? Some of the polls used
to knock the persimmon cannot eat the
fruit. Neither Comstock, Nelson nor
McCleary can win, Mr.. Washburn may
be beaten, but when it comes to BOUND
ing Minneapolis in the dust it Is differ
ent. Next to Mr.. Washburn in Mime
apolls. is c. A. Pillsbury. If we can't
have Mr.. Washburn. give us Charles A.
