who were born only a few miles
from our own native home. Per-
haps we may have met as boys
on the shores of the Baltic little
thinking that we. should next
meet in the interior of another
continent each carrying a destiny
in an adopted country. The
usual push, energy; neatness and
substantially is visible every
where as is so characteristic Of
Minnesota towns.
We must not omit to say that
we visited Bro. Wheelock, the
editor and proprietor Of Vince
locks Weekly. Bro. Wheelock
is a newspaper man to the man
or-born. He publishes, in our
opinion, the neatest paper in
northwestern Minnesota. We
do not always agree with Bro.
Wheelock in his political views,
but we are of a firm opinion that
after a while Bro. Wheelock will
agree with US. We wish Bro.
Wheelock success, however, and
believe some day he will publish
one of the leading newspapers
of Fergus Falls.

TUESDAY, JUNE 9TH, 1896.

We attended the People sParty
Committee meeting of the
Seventh Congressional district
last Wednesday at Fergus Falls,
and can report that everything is
in good shape in the district. The
convention will be held in Fergus
Falls the 18th of July to nominate
delegates to the St. Louis Natio-
nal Convention and to nominate
a candidate for congress. We
met a number of the leading pops
from the district and had an en-
joyable time. In comparing notes
we find the cause of the party is
in the ascendency all over the
district. People everywhere ir-
respective Of political utilization
realize that some change in the
management Of the affairs Of the
government imperatively neces-
sary. And as neither of the old
parties has formulated any
measures of relief, ordinary COM
mon sense business men, are do
ing a heap of thinking these days.
The immense gain in populist
votes in Oregon against the ut.
most exertion of the republicans
shows the way the wind blows.
This cyclone is going to travel all
over the country and gain force
and violence as it travels east
over the Mississippi valley.
The peoples party movement
in northwestern Minnesota at
least has assumed the form of a
profound conviction in the mind
of it's adherents. Not one popu-
list of consequence is back in the
old ranks any where in this dis
trict. And thousands of old par
ty men, and some Of prominence
has joined our ranks since the
last campaign. We have also
now an able press in the district
something that was more OF less
in the stage Of formation even 2
years ago. It is now fully able
to meet the enemy on every point.
Whatever misunderstanding
there has been is now definitely
and permanently settled, and we
shall go into the campaign united,
harmonious and enthusiastic. OF
course, we must muster all our
resources, keep our forces to-
gether and our heads level. But
we are satisfied that we shall
easily be able to do that.
Now we want a rouslng conven
ton. Elect men that will go to
the convention and get acquain-
ted with one another and enthuse
each other with the spirit of vic
tory and success is ours.

AS we Travelled home in the
day time we could but think of
of the wonderful resources and
beauty Of national scenery of
this park region of Minnesota.
Green fields of growing grain and
grasses, beautiful lakes, patches
of tim Der in one continual chang
ing panorama. We believe it's
equal can scarcely be rivaled any
where. Could this pail of bust
ness depression'be dispelled, and
the hardy and industrious popu-
lation that we here find every
where be allowed to breathe in a
pure business atm sphere what
wonderful future would not open
up before this section of country.
But hearken! the battle cry of
freedom for political misrule is
beginning to be heard: Earnest,
intelligent and determined men,
men who never meddled with DO
litics before in their lives. are
travelling hundreds of miles
spending money and valuable
time to see what CAN be done. II
means business. It means that a
mighty political movement is in
motion. A movement inagura-
ted by the hardy yeoman, sprung
from the people themselves and
for the interest of the common
every day people. It means that
the fire Of liberty is not yet ex-
tinguished, that it is only smold-
ering for time, and that it will
yet light the political horizon of
the state of Minnesota. ~.

We also looked into the re-
noWned Office of Elmer Adams,
who is now a days writing four
columns week to get the Popu-
lists Of Otter Tail county to pull
each others hair. We wanted to
see how this "seek en- man
looked any way. But unfortu-
nately he was absent. Had he
been home, we should have given
him some sage advice about saw
ing his wind for the home run
next fall.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1896-06-09

Of course we enjoyed the gen.
erous hospitality of Bro. Boon.
The congressman is enjoying
himself fighting for the princi-
pies of his party and writing
witty puns on Elmer Adams and
the other old party scriblers that
are continually snorting at him.
The Fergus Globe is no mean
weapon in the hands of so shrewd
politician as Bro. Boon has the
reputation to be. At the Globe
and Rodhuggeren Office we also
had the pleasure of meeting Bro.
Hagan the editor of Rodhugger-
en-. Bro. Hagan is one of the
most vigorous and incisive writ
ers of the Norwegian language Of
the northwest. Rodhuggeren
has a circulation of about 5000,
and is a power in this district.

he started to attend the Democratic con-

IL. Clifford took pity on HIM and took
the lad TO the Second police station I'm
his team. Word was sent to Simon's
family called and took Simon home. The
father said the little fellow was not
missed until supper time.
Officer Flynn, late last night, saw a
broken pane of glass.in a window of the
store on North Main street, near Benefit
street, and in a few minutes saw fellow
with one OF his hands badly cut. The
fellow was a sprinter, and whom be saw

soon saw stars in an opposite direction
from that in which he had been looking
for them. He was not badly njured but
lots OF people seemed interested in spread

quickly brought to the station, and more

HIS DIAMOND EXPL0DES.

just as His Chi1SIs Cut.
Frank Thayer, a dramatic agent who
has quarters In the Abbey theater build
ing, hurried into the Office of DIR. Herbert
Lee Constable on Tuesday afternoon and
asked the physician to cauterize wound
on his chin. Mr.. Thayer's neoktie was
gone, and his shirt was spotted with
blood. On tho chin bore there was n
small, irregular cash, which, according 10
Mr.. Thayer's story, was inflicted in Pc
culiar manner.
n He said that q diamond which no wore
In his nocktie had exploded. and he was
afraid that the wound caused by tho flying
fragments of the stone might be psisonous
DIR. Constable was incred ulous, but Thayer
declared that he was not joking. The cut
was dressed, and Thayer told Sun re-
porter the history of the remarkable dia-
mond during the time 1t was in his pos
session.
Ho said that the stone, which weighed
about Ia fcarats, was brought TO this
country from South Africa by his friend
John Fleming, who is interested In the
diamond mines of tho Transvaal. When
Fleming got It, the stone was in the
rough, and while on bis way TO this ooun-
try he stopped in London and bad it cut.
When he exhibited tho diamond To Thayer,
the latter was attracted by peculiar mark
In it's interior, which seemed to DO a tiny
globulo containing drop OF water. So
well did he like the stone that he bought
it on the spot, and afterward he had 1t
mounted on stickpin.
On Tuesday morning he wore the dia-
mond for the first time in an ascot tie
In the afternoon, after the rainstorm,
while be was standing at Forty third
street and broadway, he was startled by a
peculiar noise, as though something had
whizZed by close to his face. At the same
time he felt a singing sensation of tho
chin. He put up his hand, and when he
took il away there was blood on his fingers.
Hastily undoing his tie, he found that the
diamond was missing. Tho setting was
there and from its appoara0te be judged
the stone had been torn out by force.
AT first ho thought bo had been shot,
but when ho remembered the peculiar
mark in the diamond he concluded that
his injury had been caused by the bursting
of the stono. When asked for the necktie
and the setting Of the stone, Mr.. Thaycr
said that In his excitement no had thrown

NOMINATE A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE.


The nomination of a presidential candi-
date on the first ballot or -unanimouslysis
not altogether unusual, though. but once,
the nomination OF CLEVELAND in 1883,
has nomination by acclamation before
the taking of ballot been secu-ed from
either party convention since 1882, when
the Democratic national convention put
up ANDREW JACKSON for second term
by acclamation. LINCOLN was rs-nom-
mated practically without opposition by
the Republican convention of 1864, al
though Missouri gave her vote to GRANT,
and in 1865 and in 1s5 GRANT was the
unanimous nominee, though not by accla-
nation.
FREMONT was chosen on a first ballot
as the candidate of the Republican Ma
tional convention In 1856. MCCLELLAN
was nominated on the first ballot by the
Democratic convention OF 1864, and
GREELEY in 1872. CLEVELAND was NOM
mated on the first ballot by the Demo
cratic convention OF 1892 and HARRISON
was re-nominsted on the first ballot by
the Republican convention of that same
year.
These number ten instances or nom-
ination by acclamation, by unanimous
vote, or on first ballot, out OF 16 Demo-
cratic conventions and the 10 Republican
conventions, beginning with the first in
1854 total OF 20 conventions of both
parties, If we except the nomination OF
BREcKENRIDGE without opposition. in
1860, by the secession Democrats.
Twice, however, has nomination by accla-
nation followed the result of several
ballots. SEYMOUR was SO chosen after
the twenty-first ballot by the Democratic
convention of 1868, and HANCOCK after
the second ballot in 1880.

CHAT.

Running a newspaper always appeared
to me TO be like giving advice; you are
never sure in advance whether it will be
taken or not.
What guess work 1t is, anyway, this
pleasing the public, hitting its views,
giving it what il wants. Nothing short
OF genius, when you really accomplish 1t.
l remember one of the Quaker manual of
maxims In the play: "When a man asks
you for advice, find out what kind OF ad-
vice he wants and give him that kind"
Observation teaches me that most
everybody is like most everybody else,
and SO like me and like all the rest. In
the matter of reading the newspaper /
find that after all the things that worry
the editor and keep the reporters on pins
and needles, don't concern the reader
overmuch, although to keep the reader
stirred up and 90 set him talking is the
aim and object OF the newspaper staff,
and they set about the task by first earn
estly endeavoring to find out what the
reader prefers to set his teeth on edge.
On the whole, however, except on rare
occasions, think the newspaper fails
in Its effort quite as dismally as does the
man who gives advice. / may prime
myself on the newest murder from the
paper only to find that my seatmate in
the trolley car is interested chiefly in the
way his garden is growing. may tear
my hair, as advised to do, over the edi-
torial disclosure that the country Is going
to the bow vows, but when / drop in on
my neigh TO consult him as to what
we shall do in the emergency, / find him
alarmed only because the baby had the
stomach ache all the night before.
Now and then some OF us get together
and hold mass meetings or assemble to
consider questions which the newspapers
have brought us up to believe are of the
gravest importance. And have sat in
such gatherings when the most serious
trouble had was due to the fact that IL
look cd like rain outside and was with
out an um brella.
And l have no doubt, could have on
such occasions, shot an X-ray at random
through the gathering l would have
easily discovered:
