about by the gang, false cries and the un-
scrupu.ous use Of money
Sixth District-In this district Charles
A. Towne is, making a gallant and sue
cessful fight against Paige Morris.
Towne is the present congressman from
the district He is bright, brainy and
progressive, a friend Of free silver, a
friend Of the poor, and will have no
trouble in defeating the goldbug candi-
date, Norris.
Bishop McGolrick, of Duluth, in reply

Pro Cathedral, Duluth, Oct. /, 1896,
MY Dear Mr. Robinson:
s. I have no means OF knowing who is q
member Of the A. p. AS or any other
secret society, but can safely say that
Mr.. Towne is not an enemy to Catho1icity.
always considered Mr.. Towne to be too
honorable man to join any .1hoae and
corner association, to do injury to his
fellow citizens, because of their honest
belief. am, yours sincerely,
JAMES M'GOLRICK,
Bishop of Duluth.
Seventh District-E. 3. Lommen, the
fusion candidate, is opposed to Congress-
man Eddy in this district. Lommen las
served the people we'll in the state senate
and would serve them equally we'll in
congress. He believes in the people and
the people should believe in him and no
doubt will prove their confidence by elect
ing him as the next representative from
the district.
GOVERNOR.
AS between the present incumbent ct
the governors office-David NJ Clough
and the candidate of the Democrats,
Popul;sts and free silver Republicans
John ,Lind-there should be no hesitancy
on the part Of the people which to elect.
C.ougl-well, the least said about Clough
the better for his own peace of mind and
the comfort of his supporters He i5 a
man Of putty in the hands Of the gang
gang controlled by the use of money
and the working of the machine.
AS to John Lind, The Irish Standard
may repeat what it already said concern
ing him two weeks ago and that is that
all the indications compel every fair
minded citizen of Minnesota to conclude
that John Lind will be the next governor
of the state 1t is true his enemies are
making desperate mathematical calcula-s
ttons to prove that he will be beaten by
the gang, and should he unfortunately
fail OF election it will be through the
efforts of the gang, the power Of the ma
chine and the lavish and unscrupulous
use Of money. All Of these disreputable
elements are in league against him now.
The people who are not in politics for
what there is in it should, and no doubt
will, see to it, that John Lind succeeds
David NJ. Clough in the governors chair.
He did not seek the office. The oftics,
sought him, He refused kthe offer so gem
erousIy and earnestly extended of becom-
ing.a candidate, and continued his refus-
al until the pressure that was brought to
bear upon him became too great, then he
accepted. He has been nominated by the
Democrats and Populists and will receive
their united support. as well as the sup
port OF the honest, intel gent Republi-a

be sufficient for :svery farmer, mechanic,
