Hon. Frank A. Briggs. the re-
publican nominee for governor,
was at his old home at Howard
Lake, Mimi. a few days ago, and
while there he was given rous-
ing ovation by the citizens of that
town in honor of his nomination
for governor regardless of poll
tical faith-everybody giving
Frank the glad hand. The
Courier editor visited at Howard
Lake a year ago and met Mr..
Briggs, the father of our nomi-
nee. who is a very genial gentle
man, and received many inquiries
from the citizens of that town
about our nominee for governor.
That our Mr.. Briggs is popular
at his old home is easily seen by
the many words of praise the
editor heard for him on all sides
and he is just as popular on the
Missouri slope.

Our populist opponents are
making quite an ado over Gov.
Allin's attitude during the pres

the governor will knive the tick
ct. Mr.. Allin has declared that
he is satisfied with the action of
the republican convention and
that he will heartily support the
ticket. The governor has too
much sense to let a little disap-
pointment bias his good judg-
ment. It is no use our popu-
list friends trying to make a
rupture among the republicans.
1t won't work. The republican
party will present a solid front

will carry the state for McKin-

An Explanation.

/ wish through the Courier to give
some information regarding the fracas
Wednesday evening, July 30, as ! have
heard conflicting stories regarding the
same. The fact of the case is this:
AS me, Sam Knudson and others
were ready to start for home, Marshal
Christianson came along and wanted
to arrest Knudson. l told him to let
Knudson alone as he had done no
harm. The result was that he struck
me a terrific blow with his club. l
did not propose to be struck down
and carried away if could help it so
] came in contact with him and down
he went in a pile, hollering for
help; I may have given him {. few
twisters which may know best himself.
] have heardshe has circulated o story
that 1 struck him with . neck yoke.
That is false and untrue as / am well
able to defend myself against the
marshal and his club without having
to resort to weapons of any kind. l
believe in uphokling the dignity OF the
law but it could be done without go
ing at it bulldog fashion. I have
respect for an officer and should never
resist provided there is used some
common sense. The marshal has of
late been very flush in using his club.
1t may some day prove fatal to some
one. I don't lay any claim to being
a saint myself. and l don't think the
marshal has many claims that way
either. The above facts are true
whatever the marshal may say to con-
tradict them. The outcome of the
whole was that Mr.. Marshal had a
warrant out for my arrest and | was
fined pretty heavy by Justice Laclzen
for some motive OF his own probably.
However, don't kick, / shall get sell
few more threshing machines this
season. A. A. FLUTo.

The democrats bagged the Ala
bama coons at their state cleo
tion last Monday and carried the
state by an increased democratic
majority. The populists and re-
publicans fused and the populists
lost several counties that they
carried in the last election. This
is only a straw, but it shows
which way the wind is blowing
down south.

and any other country that no matter
what the conditions are would always
practically be beggars. The cause of
this in a great degree is the liquor
traffic which causes more hardship
and poverty than any other one thing
on earth. Again there is another
class OF men, who are neither spend
thrlfts or drunkards, who are out Of
employment on account of the closing
up our manufacturing institutions
which were closed by the war cry that
we have heard for the last thirty
years--tariff for revenue only-which
IN the last four years has been SO
thoroughly exploded that the only re-
sourse left for the Dem-Pop party was
h to make an issue of the money ques-
tion. NJ

then that had something to say, but
the silver bugs of the west could COM
pete with the gold bugs of the east
and it would be great deal more
difficult to monopolize everything.
Let US try it anyway. AS to the
European countries Mr.. s'M" refers
to it has about as much foundation as
his circulation idea. Hence shall
not say anything more about that.
Time and space is too short to ex-
plain anything further. wish. how
ever, that every voter would cast his
vote intelligently and in accordance
with true conviction and not let
prejudice be the dominating power.

The Courier of course is not
very deeply Interested in the
county ticket of Steele county,
but there is one nomination made
by our neighbors on the east that
we take great pleasure in second
ing, and that is the nomination
of our friend Will H. Butler for
superintendent of schools. Mr..
Butler is a gentleman whom it is
not only a pleasure to honor but
who is also an honor to Steele
county. He is a young man of
many good qualities, upright,
honest and fearless. He is well
educated and fully competent to
discharge the duties Of the office
for which he has been nominated.
The Courier extends it's hearty
congratulations to Mr.. Butler
and sincerely hopes that the vot-
ers of his county will ratify the
choice of the convention at the
polls. The official ermine of the
superintendent Office could not
fall on more worthy shoulders.
