I'm fact I don't know anything about

has been no meeting held. Day was

lieve though that he will come out all
right in the county, for the fusion
vote is to be depended upon for ma
jority of 700 or so and it will be kept

will lose many German votes and Lind
will get enough Republican votes to
stand them off. McCleary Is a strong
man here and he has paid a good deal
Of attention to Brown county, so he
may run ahead of his ticket. Bryan
and Lind will undoubtedly carry the
county though" The organizations
Of clubs in the county are generally
for Lind, though they are called sill
yer clubs. For instance at New Swe-
den, just across the line in Nicollet
county, there is a Swedish club of
sixty members, which Is known as a
silver club, but which is not likely to
carry it's silver propensities beyond
voting for Lind. At Springfield, Brown
county, there Is se-called Gold and
Silver club" The name is wisely chos-
en-, for it might be taken to mean any
old thing. 1t is in fact a Lind club.
There are campaign clubs at Morse
land and Bernadotte that are devoted
nominally to silver, but talks with
| members of both showed that they are
out for Lind first and quite at liberty
TO DO as they like for the head of the
ticket. In fact there is every evidence
that the Lind managers are quite will
ing TO turn Bryan down If they can
do Lind any good, In fact Editor
Johnson, Of the Review, told me that
they did not care for anybody but
Lind and that all the work that was
done here would be for him.

MERCHANTS AND FARMERS.
And while avoiding the other poli-
ticians I went after business men and
farmers. Among the former class
there is the same disposition here I'm
avoid discussion Of the national issue
as Is to be observed in all small towns.
Whlle the grocery is time honored
throughout the country as the most
fitting place for the settling of the af
fairs of state, there is this fall a dis

generally, unwilling to declare himself
and possibly be made to suffer for his
| convictions-for in this campaign near
ly every one is Convinced that the man
who is opposed to him politically wants
TO reduce his chances of wealth. A
rev merchants overcome this feeling
under argument that their names
should not be used. A druggist said

of them are much given to the discus

that it would hurt ones business. So
Tar as we are concerned here In New

in the county it may be- know If will
