The eminent and justly celebrated
Populist leader in Redwood county,
the Hon. James Arnold, is possible
candidate for representative this fall
What a wonderful figure he would
make in the halls of the legislature.
Like the greatest American river
would be his oratory. Dimunitive,
yet promising, at the start, growing
larger and heavier, he would warm
up until, like the gulf, would he drown
the other statesmen in the halls claim
ing recognition. Through his master
mind would be devised the free and
unlimited coinage of silver in Mime
sofa. A State would become new
Republic, lined like silver cloud, the
bankers driven from their abodes, the
government funds in huge piles here,
there and everywhere for the free and
unlimited use of the people. Gold
there would be none. The treacherous
coin would be driven back to Eng
land, the place of his birth.

Capt. Henry A. Castle of St. Paul
would make as strong gubernatorial
timber as there is in Minnesota to-day.
He is known as a dyed-in- the-wool
Republican, an old soldier, etc. Near

ed with the genial fellow, and nearly
everybody knows personally that the
Captain has the ability to not only fill
tie gubernatorial chair satisfactorily
but a chair even higher. Like Eus-
tbs, McGill, VanSant, the Captain is a
credit to his party.
