"But the Willmar Tribune is not an
authority on political matters or the
only medium that reaches the people
of this county, and no one knows this
better than I do. ''-Solomon Ogren in
Willmar Gazette.
Who has ever claimed it Was?
But it does discuss issues and
quote authorities, and as tocircu-
lation we are willing to compare
with any publisher in these parts.
We have not the monumental
gall to claim that we are infallible
nor that we know anything better
than anybody else. Nor are we
conceited enough to claim that
we are not liable to make mis-
takes. Nor do we claim that all
who entertain different opinions
from US are ignoramuses, fools or
knaves. That class of "argu-
ments" the TRIBUNE is quite will
ing to allow Messrs. Ogren and
Haselton to monopolize.

Some farmers in the northeast part
OF Renville Co., have threshed, and
it is reported that wheat turned out
at 10 bushels per acre.
We have been told that the farmers
around Bird Island pay as high as
$1.75 to $780,, per day for help while
threshing.
The Bird Island photographer was
at Tom Marshall's the later part OF
last week, doing all kinds of work in
the line of photographing.
Cyrus Jensen had narrow escape
from having a run-a-way, when driv-
ing home from the creamery last week.
The horse was fri ghtened and Cyrus
was unable to hold him. For viii lie
it looked dangerous when fortunately
the harness broke, thus letting the
horse loose from the buggy and the
young man escaped without any in.

Mr.. Lee, the photographer, photo
graphed the creamery -one morning,

BRYAN IN NEBRASKA.

Peter Simpson, of Lac qui Parl,
calls our attention to the statement of
the Hon. John M. Thurston, at Min
neapolis, last week, in which he said
Bryan was so unpopular in Nebraska
that he would not be able to carry his
own precinct, city, county or state.
At the last general election in Me-
braska the people of that state ex-
pressed by a vote at the polls their
preference for United States senator.
Mr.. Thurston and Mr.. Bryan were
both on the ticket and just to show
who was the popular choice of the
people and which of the two gentle
men seems to be the most popular in
his own state we would say that Mr..
Bryan received 80,472 votes while Mr..
Thurston received bnt 1856 votes.
Tbs official returns of the state of Ne
braska which we have before u.s.,
show that Bryan received 9,947 votes
in Oamha as against 687 for Thurston.
Lancaster county gave Bryan 1864 as
against nothing for Thurston. Lin
coin county gave Bryan 627 and Thurs
ton 3. Platte county gave Bryan
1,612 and Thurston 10. Thurston's IS
own county gave Bryan 1872 and Thurs
ton Nothing! Common decency should
have moved Mr.. Thurston to give Mr..
Bryan courteous treatment. Certain
ly a man who could get by 1866 votes
in Nebraska is not competent to pass
upon the popularity of a man who re-
ceived S0,472 votes. Further than this
Thurston had a monumental amount
OF cheek to accept a seat in the United
States senate from the Legislature after
the people had repudiated him at the
polls.-Independent Press.

HIS FOND FAREWELL.

The Young Mems Republican
Club has some special business
on it's hands. 1t has to enter
tain the resignation and with
drawal from the Club of it's
bright young leader, Atty. Sam I
Olson. 1t has been known that
Mr.. Olson has been studying the
financial question for some time
in an impartial manner for his
own benefit, and the result can
be but gratifying to the friends
OF reform in this, county. We
welcome Mr.. Olson to our ranks
and are sure that he will prove
a valiant fighter for the cause.
The following is a copy of his
message to the Club, which we
quote by permission:
II hereby tender my resignation as
president and withdrawal as member
of the Young Mems Republican Club
of Willmar and assign as reason
therefore:
l. "That do favor the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l independent OF the
action of any other nation.
2. "That I believe the interests OF
the masses would be promoted and
bettered by such legislation.
8. "Since the republicansparty ad-
vocates the single gold standard and
consequently according to my view,
favors a money system detrimental to
the laborers and producers I cannot
consistently remain member of the
Young Mems Republican Club and
work to further it's Or the Republican
party $ interests.
4. "That it would be unjust and un.
fair for me to hold an Office or even
membership in a political club whose
principles were not in harmony with
mine.''

AN OLD SETTLER DEAD.

Torger S. Rykken, the we'll
known old resident of the town
ship Of Dovre, died at the home
of his son K. I. Rykken last
Saturday night, Aug. 20, 1896,
from "a stroke of paralysis, very
suddenly and unexpectedly, at an
age of rs years. The deceased
arrived with his family to this
country in 1869, and during the
two first years resided in Fill
more Co., of this state. From
there he moved to Kandiyohi Co.
where he has resided continuous
ly since that time. The old gentle
man had never had days sick
ness since arriving to this coun-
try and was hale and hearty.
Saturday evening he was assisting
with milking the COWS, and as he
had finished the work he was
stricken. He died in a short
time, not having regained con-
sciousness. The deceased leaves
a widow and nine children to
mourn his death. The latter are:
K. T. Rykken, Dovre; L. T Ryk-
ken, Grand Forks, N. d.; Mrs.
Martha Sand of Warren, Minn.;
Mrs. S. 0. Moe and Mrs. G.. Os-
terlie, of Chippewa county; Ole
Rykken late of Minneapolis; Mrs.
John Rykken, Of Raymond;
Sivert and Albert Rykken, who
are staying in the neighborhood
of their home. Funeral occurs
Thursday at Eagle Lake; will
leave the residence at IL o'clock.
Services will begin at Eagle Lake
church at 2 o'clock p. M, con.

Litchfield News Ledger: Will those
wind-splitters, who have been shout
ing corruption> and self-interest now
please take big dose of silence on
that score-for it has now been proven
that their god on wheels-Mr. Bryan
has been receiving a salary of $4,000
a year for his silver-washed speeches.
No wonder he is a silverite.
Quoted in Willmar Gazette.
The charge has not been proven.
1t has been emphatically denied,
and Senator Thurston, who was
instrumental in dispensing the
slander, acknowledges that he
was mistaken. Will the L. N. L..

BOLD ROBBERY ;; :

Considerable excitement pre-
vailed here Thursday morning of
last week. A band of four
masked highwaymen held up a
number of the sports of the town
who from curiosity or other mo-
tives passed the road west of town
after 10 o'clock the night before.
The exact number held up will
perhaps never be known as the
victims are as rule not making
much ado about the affair, but
there were perhaps score or
more in all. A number of watch
es, and several purses and other
valuables were taken. The boys
were held in custody in Burr's
cornfield until the robbers sus-
pended operations. After aeec-
ing the boys the robbers raid.
ed "tent outfit" near the fair.
grounds where they secured con-
siderable cash. The manager of
the joint reached for his revolvers
when the robbers come in and
was shot in the abdomen, but not
seriously hurt. This man de-
scribed the robbers as being,
three of medium size and one tall.
He also said that two of them
seemed to be old hands at the job
as they held their revolvers with
steady hand, but two were evi-
IDENTITY green in the business.
The search for the robbers was
m ost vigorously conducted, but
the slightest clue could not be
found. A party of men answer
ing their description were arrest
ed at Graceville, but nothing
could be proven against them.

There is little doubt that hon.
est John Lind will be the nomi-
nee by an overwhelming major
ity. Our personal idea is that
the socalled opposition to the un-
conditional nomination of Lind
will have just the opposite effect
to what it's promoters have ex-
pected. Instead of acalm, delib-
crate session where the different
ideas would have been fully dis
cussed before any nominations
were made, the large majority in
favor of Lind will now be fearful
lest something will occur to
twart their will and will be apt to
rule the convention with an iron
hand and force the nomination
perhaps without any further
understanding: The duty Of our
delegates is clear. They are vir-
tually instructed for Lind and
they will be expected to re
feet the will Of the convention
that elected them. If, however,
a formidable middle Of the:
road" movement should occur, q
personal knoWledg sc Iof the lean:
ings Of our delegates would lead
us to divide them as 13 for Lind
and fusion and 3 3against.
