There r some very strange and
improbable tales cut loose in every
political campaign-as we all know.
But it is stranger still that any per-
son viii believe these weird warns of
some imaginative genius. One OF the
foolish ones of the present campaign
is the report that Senator Pettigrew's
Minnehaha campaign was all ''horse
play" and fully agreed to by his op-
pOnents. A Minnehaha county dem
ocratic paper starts the story, and
says that Senator Pettigrew's great
arti-railroad campaign was simply
to give him IL band wagon onto
which the other fellows over the state
would scramble, so that he could
control the state delegation to st.
Louis; that his silver policy would
he endorsed and give him additional
prestige in the senate, etc. etc. That
is a nice little fairy story, with no
semblance of truth, and merely noted
as an instructive incident in modern
lying.

was mentioned. This fact shows him
to be far the strongest man, because
the masses of the people want him.
His strength is such that he has al
ready carried some states over ia
vorite sons. And had it not been for
the great power of party machinery
and official patronage does any one
doubt where New York and Pennsyl-
vania would stand? Hardly, be-
cause with all the power of Governor
Morton and Senator Quay, both OF
these states selected some Mckinley
delegates.

ton held Mt Huron March 25th:
1--WE are faithfully welded to the
great principles OF protection by
every tie OF party fealty, and more
devoted supporters among the great
masses OF American people, irrespec-
tive OF party, than at any other pre-
yious period in our national history.
1t is ever recognized and endorsed as
the great masterful, triumphant
American principal, the key to our
prosperity in business land the safest
prop to the treasury OF the United
States and the bulwark of our ma
tional independence and financial
honor.
Whereas, there is IA diversity of
opinion among the republicans OF
the state uponth financial question;
ana, whereas, we have perfect conf
dence in the wisdom and patriotism
Of the republican party that shall
assemble at st. Louis next June that
it will consider and adopt a platform
broad and strong enough for every
republican to stand upon; Therefore
we reaffirm our devotion ana LOYALTY
to the platform adopted at Minneap-
oils in 1892 and adopt it as our
platform until the national republi-
can convention shall give us another.
Resolved, that those persons Sc
lected as delegates to represent the
people OF this state in the coming ma
tional convention to be held mt st.
Louis be and they are hereby in
Structed to Use every legitimate and
honorable means ut their command
to secure by that convention the
presidential nomination of William
Mckinley as the standard bearer of
our party in the approaching cam
paign.

The opposition to Major Mckinley
has issued a key note which is be-
ing industriously worked wherever
you find a man who favors any 9th
er candidate. 1t is that "the Mckin-
ley boom was started too early"
But when would it start? Just as
soon as townships, counties and
states began selecting delegates OF
course, ever since which time McKin-
has been securing delegates. There
have been very few conventions held
without some expression for the Ma
polean OF protection, even including
favorite son states. while Il number
OF conventions haye been held in diff
fet sections in which no other name

Now just supposin' the case-lf
Hand County, around Miller, has 100
persons making butter how many do
you think get the best price, say 20
cts? Don't get hot, now, anybody,
for this is only "sposin" for illustra-
ton. Why. perhaps % out OF
this 100 are first class buttermakers
and have first class facilities for MAX
ing butter. Well, these 100 butter
makers place on the market 100
pounds each month. Twenty-Five OF
them get 20 cts. per pound which
makes $500 for one fourth OF the
product. seventy-ive of them turn
it in for trade for 1Octs. which
amounts to $50 for the three
fourths.
If the three fourths could get rs
much as the very best butter makers
and ii cash market, instead OF receiy-
ing $3.50 for their product these
100 persons and the community
would receive $4,000. Then does it
not appear that the community is
osing $3.50 every month on it's but
ter product? Sure. How can this
be saved? Everybody can not learn
to make good butter, or may not
have the facilities for making it, but
il the cream were all taken to IL
creamery, it would be worth the
highest price, and the butter would
all be worth o than the best but
ter makers can get for their product.
Does it not behoove a community to
make the most it can out OF what it
produces?

excitement and uneasiness has developed

Zelaya should declare himself dictator and
eventually call convention of the people
to correct some embarrassing and conflict
ing clauses in the national constitution OF
1893 This national constitution provides
that a constitutional convention shall rot
be called until 1898. This opinion was grad
ually gaining adherents among the persons
OF intelligence and wealth In Nicaragua

been settled quietly by respectable and re-
sponsible persons. but Jose de Gamez. who
was recently removed from several posi-
