Independence Day.
The Mazeppa Tribune in last weeks
issue sizes up the Republican ticket for
next year. Three thickets are suggested,
Clough heading one, Van SAINT another
and Gibbs third. On each of these
tickets the Tribune places J. H. Block
of St. Peter as the candidate for state
treasurer, thus turning down without a
word the present incumbent, Mr.. Koer-
ner. The article is said to have been
written by Sam Phillips, Heatwole'sp poll
teal manager.
1t appears that Dennis O'Shea, of
Ridgley, has caused himself considerable
trouble by an assault upon the members
of his family The assault was made on
Friday and the victims are his wife and
son who were quite badly injured by
O'Shea. The weapon employed was a
large pitchfork. He struck his wife in
the head with the fork and injured a boy
quite seriously. The wife at present is
expected to recover. After doing the
tiendish act he made his escape toward
New Ulm but did not 60 far when
he changed his course in the

The Minneapolis Times of Wednesday
in reporting a meeting of the millers of
the state makes this reference to H. S..
Kennedy: Secretary Kennedy, of what
is known as the Southern Minnesota
Millers' Association, is character. He
has been mixed up with tie dusty MILL
ers for so many years that he is probably
more familiar with the personnel of the
trade in this state than any other man.
Some years ago Mr.. Kennedy contested
the discouraging prediction made by
some OIL the Minneapolis bears that Mime
sofa and Dakota would not produce for
that particular season more than I10,-
100000 bushels OF wheat. Secretary
Kennedy came out with the stateme mt
that the yield of the three states would
be 160,000,000 bushels. Some of tn e
r. short crop prophets on change in Mime
apolis were disposed to regard Mr.. Ken
nedy's prediction as absurd, and when
he showed up among the bears on Change
few days afterward he was not treated
with the utmost courtesy. When the
crop reports showed yield of 162,00O,-
900, Mr.. Kennedy came to the front with
smile that has not left him yet.
S. E. Farnham, editor of the Madison
Tribune, contributes the following arti

The Tribune gets things badly mixed in
Its ''Campaign Of '96' article on Monday
last. They say that John F. jacobson
of this county, is candidate for con
gress. It is mistake. The man they
probably meant to name was the Hon
J. F. Jacobson. In that same article
they make the statement that the sssounc
money" men of the Second COMPRESSION
al district can control the district and
send "Sound Money delegation to the
national convention, They can do moth.
ING of the kind. If John Lind, Frank
Day, J. F. Jacobson, H. E. Hoard and
others, who are we'll known silver men,
see fit to go into a 'scrap" with the
'sound money" men they can do them to
a finish. The statement that free silver
coinage is losing ground is not factand
if the Republican party is so foolish. as
to hug that deluslon they are going to
get left. John Lind, on a party plat
form declaring for silver, would do up
any man in this district who might be
foolish enough to run on the ..sound
money! platform If the leaders of the
Republican party have anidea that they
can bunco the voters into the support Of
this Cleveland sssound money 2 rot they
are quite simple. State Auditor Dunn's
friendship for silver will help him out
here. Good crops and good prices and
a revival of business may help the So
called 'sound money" bunco steerers,
but 1t will take the biggest crop and the
stiffest prices, coupled with the most
sweeping revival Of business this coun-
cry ever saw, to do it. 81.
