AN ANCIENT WHALER
The Brig Hidalgo Wrecked Off the AL
askan Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15-News
reached this city today by private let
ter to the effect that the ancient whal-
ing brig Hidalgo. which is owned here,
is ashore at Point Hope, on the Bering
sea coast. 1t is believed the crew was
saved.
The Hidalgo was probably the oldest
whaler on the coast She was built in
1856 at East Machias. Maine. After a
few years of service as trader on the
Atlantic coast, she was brought to this
side and for a long time was engaged
in the lumber trade between this port
and Eureka. Then she was converted
into a whaler and has ever since been
going up to the Arctic regularly every
season. The Hidalgo only registered
115 tons and owing to her age no very
great value was attached to her.

PLENTY STRONG ENOUGH, LESLIE.
The country delegates were of the
opinion a month ago that Dave Cltough
was distanced horse in the governor
ship race, but his Hennepin county
enemies have helped him out wonder
fully within the past few weeks. TO a
certain extent, Dave is loved for the
enemies he has made. Whether this

comment more or less favOra BILE. Both
gentlemen have received high honors
at the hands Of the Republican party
and command the respect of all men
irrespective of politics. So far, how
ever, we have seen no substantial rea-
son why Governor Clough should not

given is that he beat Washburn out of

FoN DU LAC, Wis, held an Anti
Tramp convention last week to devise
ways and means to rid the city Of the
tramp nuisance. The convention ex-
pressed the opinion that while some of
the tramps might be workingmen if the
opportunity offered, a majority would
not be, and roam about the country
imbued with the idea that e.the world
owes every man living" whether he
works or not. Compulsory labor was
recommended as the best punishment
and cities were urged to provide rock
piles for the entertainment of these
guests. This will not put an end to the

as numerous in such sections. Mime

SHOWS A JEALOUS SPIRIT.

For more than a year D. M. Clough
has been governor of Minnesota,
and no man can say, wherein, during
this time, he has been false to the PEG
pies trust.-Red Wing Republican.
This is true. There is a class of in
dividuals in the State who about every
SO often and at certain times set up a
hue and. and cry about the CHIEF. execu-
tive simply because they are figuring
for something themselves. The
ground of their opposition is not we'll
taken, but possesses a spirit of ieal-
ousy and unfairness that often does
great injury to the peace and dignity
Of the State. David Clough has made
a good governor, and it is but fair that
he should have a second term. The.

4 Well Known G. A. r. hIan Writes Letter
to the Union Veterans League.
Colonel Lew Ginger, who once or
ganized and carried on a G. A. r, fair
in Topeka, writes an open letter in
the Denver Republican addressed to
the Union Veterans' league in New
York as follows:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. TO- Gentle
men: Your appeal to the veterans of
the war of the rebellion is before me.
Yon are doubtless aware Of the fact
that thousands Of the men who fought
for the union are not supporting Major
Mckinley for president, If this we're
not true your appeal would be super
flOus. You are also aware Of the fact
that these men are patriots and gave
some of the best years of their lives
that the nation might live. Your ap-
peal is an insult to their manhood, 1t
is quite true that they we're not major
generals, but they stood in the front
line and barred their breasts to the shot
and shell ana saw their comrades and
brothers die for the country they loved,
and now, the leaders of the great party
to who we have been so loyal since
peace came again to our land, have
permitted a few men to take posses
sion of the party and perpetuate a
gross injustice, yea, crime, by strik-
ing down the honest dollar that for a
century has been worth one hundred
cents all the world over, you come to
US with an appeal to help you put a
yoke upon the necks of the American
people that would be as heavy to bear
as that which rested upon the necks
Of four millions of noman beings in
this land at the Beginning of the war.
You assume to much when you say
that our great leaders who have been
mustered out, Grant, Sherman, Sheri-
dan, Hancock, Logan, Garfield and
others, were they living would be
united with you in this crisis. On the
contrary I believe that bitter shame
would cloud most Of their faces when
they knew that in a few hours in your
city of New York 100000 we're open
ly subscribed to carry by fair or foul
means the coming election.
It is not the first time that the lead
ers of the party finding themselves in
a tight place. have sought some of the
prominent officers of the Union army
and begged them to appeal to the pa
triotism aud loyalty of the soldiers, and
when the soldiers rallied to their sup
port and carried the banner to victory
the greater part of the pledges made
/ to them were forgotten. That the
republican party has accomplished
much for the soldiers is most true, but
cur loyalty to the toiling millions is
paramount to loyalty to any party. I
was but a private soldier, but I tried
| to do my duty as a soldier and my rec
ord can be found in the adjutsnt gen.

America in Washington, D. @.

defend the honor of my country as I
see it to-day, and the man who calls
me and my comrades who think as I
do anarchists had better not do it in
my hearing. Respectfully,
