CL0UGH's VOTE.

All the counties of Minnesota
have made the official canvass of
the votes cast at the recent cleo
ton, and from the returns rec eiyed
Mckinley received .193,40o and
Clough 165, 800. Clough' s vote was
less than Sc per cent of Mckinley
vote. McKinley's majority was
$4,000 larger than Clough' s.
There was strong opposition to
8Clough's nomination, and the re-
suit Of the election shows that
those who feared Clough's nomi.
nation would endanger The states
Repu blicanism, were not far
wrong. Some of the Clough papers
are representing that the active
Repub licans who opposed Clough's
nomination continued their fight
against 'him at the polls. As a
sample Of these claims, we quote
the following from last weeks
Royalton Banner:
The opposition to the governor
in his own party was of the most
bitter and vindictive character.
Two years ago an ambitious Mime
apolis politician failed in his effort
to be returned to the United States
senate, and as Mr.. Clough took an
active part in that fight and was
elevated to the governors chair
by reason Of Nelson's election,
Washburn and his friends vowed
eternal Vengeance against him.
Then last summer in the struggle
for the gubernatorial nomination
many enemies were made and all
of these went around during the
entire campaign with knives in
their boots and with only one;

Todd did.

of the Republican esidential

average. No knife there.

again much ahead Of the state

the state is not to blame for that.
AS far as the defeat Of Wash,

known that the active oppo.
nents OF Clough in Morrison county
were as hearty supporter Of Nelson
for the senate as any citizens in
the state. It is PLAIN that neither
Lee, Clapp or Van SAINT were
guilty this year of treacheYy to
the Republican nominee for
governor, as their counties made
the best records in the state on
the vote given to Clough.
Other interesting figures are
those of Goodhue county, the
home Of Tams Bixby, where
Clough's percentage was no larger
than in Morrison county IS.
Among the counties that made
poor showings for the head of the
state ticket, and their percentages,
were: Brown county, rs per

to note that Douglass county gave

ON ACCOUNT OF POLITICS.
Collins Flight Believed 10 Be Due to Ms
Candidacy for County attorney.

North Anson, June 25.-(SpeciaD.
1t is now believed that the
reason why Ben S. Collins sud
denly made up his mind to drop
out of local existence was because
he had found in pursuing his canvass
for the second nomination as county
attorney that there was considerable
opposition to him in the eastern part
of the county.
1t is true that even this section was
not without opposition to him. which
fact he was aware of. 1t will be re-
membered that Collins left home. Tues
day. June 16, to go look after his po-
litical fences. He was seen and talked
with at the Waterville station, Thurs
day. June Is. by Journal reporter.
Collins took the afternoon east bound
train, telling the reporter that he
guessed it would do no harm to go
out among the people and find out just
what the chances are"
1t is believed that Collins passed Fri
day in the eastern part of the county.
and learning of the determined oppo-
Sition to him realized that IL another
could be induced to go into the conven-
ton against him his cause was a lost
one. he then determined to press Miss
Donlcy to go with him.
AS a result of his light it has been
found necessary to call a town meeting
for next Wednesday for the purpose OF
electing a town clerk. The sentiment
appears to be against electing another
selectman in Collins place and in favor
of allowing the two remaining MEM
bers of the board to go it alone for the
rest Of the municipal year. The law
cG1npels the town to fill vacancies in
the office of town clerk. but is silent on
the matter of other town officers

and the meeting resolved itself into a
gossipy campfire. during which the
old boys swapped true stories and a

mitted IN every case. The members OF
the association took much pride IN
calling attention to O. G. Nutting OF

claimed could hit Il Johnnie Reb il

members who told the story of Mr.

fact that the famous gunner was
somewhat hard of hearing.
