RACES TODAY.
There Are to be Six Running Events
This Afternoon,

The estimated attendance at the Park
this afternoon is fully 10000. Yester-
day was big day, in point Of attend
ance. but to-day will surely overshadow
it,
In the first place there are to be six
fine running races, and these are always
popular. Secondly, the business COM
munity is to have a half-holiday this
afternoon, for it is to be Sacramento
Day. at the Fair, and this will give an
opportunity to many hundreds Of peo-
pie to visit the track who could not
otherwise do so.
Again, several of the highest class Of
horses in the State are to run, and as
the track is in superb condition some
very fast time may be looked for.
Though the card is q long one, there
need be no fear Of tedious delays, for
Richard Havey is IN charge of the start
ing gates, and his excellent work thus
far in the meeting is a guarantee that
the starts will be prompt and good. 1t
should be borne in mind that the gates
alone are not to be entitled to all the
credit for good starts, for in the hands
of a person who does not fully under
stand his business only confusion would
result. The society did we'll in selecting
Mr.. Havey for this work.

GOOD TRAVELLING.
A "Green" Wheelman's Trip to Fol.
som and Return.

Joe Haldener called at this office yes
terday to say that he has ridden the
bicycle but a few times and is a green
hand at it, but yesterday he rode from
Seventh and streets to Folsom be-
tween 9 and 10:40 a. m. Returning he
left Folsom at $40 and arrived at
Third and streets at 4:53 p. m.
Joe exhibited signatures of wayside
house people certifying to the time. The
distance is twenty-five miles to Fol-
som, and though the c. c. w. wheel
way is a great advantage, it seems
improbable that a green rider could
have made the run to which Joe lays
claim Yet he is a stout lad, and his
proofs are clear that he made the trip
-one way in an hour and forty min
utes, and the other in an hour and
forty three minutes.

only So cents in this country. He said
these statements were the kind OF rot
one must expect to hear much of dur
ing the campaign. If gold goes to a
premium the mine owners will make
no Al cents profit. If, as he believed,
the two metals are brought to parity
by free coinage there would be no
great profit to the mine owner. But
if they do make big profit are
they not Americans? Said that
the Mexican dollar did not pass
for dollar here because it did not
have Uncle Sans stamp upon it. The
So cents in it melted down as bullion
would buy more of the necessities Of
life today than ever before in history.
1t would buy more of everything ex-
cept human labor and gold, and when
free wins it will buy as much gold.
He was asked how free silver would
benefit the laboring man. Mr.. Lind
talked about five or ten minutes beat
ing about the bush, but failed to an
swer the question.
The next meeting was fixed for
next Monday evening, and the meet
ing adjourned.

POPULISM DESTROYS CREDIT

EDITOR FREE PRESS: 1t is we'll
known that since the Populists got
control of Kansas, it has been almost
impossible for the farmers, or NUM-
cipal interpretations to borrow any
money, as the owners of money will
not lend it in Populistic communities.
Since the Populists and Democrats
combined and nominated John Lind
for governor of Minnesota, the owners
OF the bonds of many Minnesota cities,
counties and villages, have thrown
their bonds on the market for sale,-
the bare possibility of the triumph of
the Populists, by electing John Lind
for Governor, has done vast amount
of damage to the credit of every in
terest in Minnesota. Several NUM-
CAPABILITIES in the state have recently
offered their bonds for sale without
finding any purchasers. Large
amounts of Twin City and Ramsey
county bonds that have been held by
Eastern investors have recently been
offered tor sale in St. Paul.
If John Lind, the Populist and free
silver candidate should happen to be
elected governor this fall, business
men and municipal corporations in
this state will find their credit prac-
tically ruined.

DEMO-PoP. Candidate Dayremarked
at the meeting of free silverites last
night that he had just paid an assess.
ment of $3.50 on some shares of stock
he held in a gold mine, and was sorry
that it was not silver stock he owned
instead. He averred that if the Demo
Pop combine succeeded in electing
their candidates doubtless meaning
himself) he would buy silver mining
stock. OF course he would. Frank
never misses trick, and he can see
a forty-seven cent profit on silver as
quick as any man on earth. But Bro.
Day will not buy silver mining stock
on the present political market. The
great masses have made up their
minds that they don't propose to pay
Al cents in profit to a few plutocratic
mine owners, and take in pay 53-cent
dollars for labor that will bring 100
cents under Mckinley. They are not
making that kind of contract this
year.

RECOVERED THE HORSE.
Sheriff Bowen Finds His Brothers
Rig Near Window.

Sheriff Bowen turned his brothers
stolen horse and buggy over to him to-
day. The sheriff has been successful
ly running down a clue for several
days past, He learned that the two
boys drove from Judson TO Mr..
MOore's farm near Window. While
they were stopping there the sheriff
had passed the house ire his search for
them, and they took to the woods, not
returning for the horse and buggy,
and went to Slayton, and from there
went on. Their present whereabouts
are not definitely known. The Win
dom authorities gave Mr.. Bowen
clue, and he found the rig at Moore's.
The latter had not told the officers
that he had horse and buggy in his
possession, and had used them, but
when asked to deliver them up, wanted
high rate of board. He had hidden
the harness and taken two wheels
from the buggy. On being threaten
ed with the law, he told Sheriff Bow
en- where to find the parts. Mr.. Bow
en- drove to Madelia and left the horse
there yesterday to rest, returning for
it today. Efforts will now be made
to find the boys, and their eventual
capture is not doubted.

County Exhibits at the State Fair

The state press is unanimous in en-.
dorsing the idea that county commits.
sioners should make appropriations to
aid in organizing full county exhibits
at this years state fair. AS state eX-
hibits are to be made by Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North and
South Dokota, it is important that
Minneso va should make comprehen-
sive showing of all her products. Priz-
es for county exhibits this year have
been increased TO S700-more than
double the amount of last year.

Democrats like Zimmerman, Pope,

is no doubt gall and wormwood for
him to be found In bed with such a

was embarrassing. But it is different
with Frank. He can happily adjust
himself to almost any kind of
company.

Joe Davis, of Judson, who is can

there is only one Populist and free
silverite in all of Judson. Speaking
of the crops, he said that by the mid
die of next week stacking will be
completed Some rye has been
threshed, but that is all. Farm work
will be along so that the farmers can
attend the convention on the 9th.
The ventilating of the dog nui-
sance in the council was good thing.
The dog ordinance for some reason
has not been enforced this year. We
have never heard any satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION for this move. The ordi-
nance has been enforced in the past
and has given excellent satisfaction,
and it does seem that the mayor
ought to have directed it's enforce

Mr.. LIND and Mr.. Currier in their
remarks last night before the Popo-
Gratis did not like the references
which had been made to the anar-
chistic 'utterances in the Chicago
platform, and attempted to convey
the idea that the Republicans called
all men who intend to vote for Mr..
Bryan, anarchists. Now both of
these gentlemen are men of intelli-
gence, and know that the Republi-
cans have done nothing of the kind.
They know that all comments have
been confined to the platform and
to the leaders who have expressed the
same sentiments. If they will look
the Republican papers through close
ly they will not find the rank and
file of the people classed as anar-
chists. Such expressions upon their
part is simply rot They know better
themselves.

HIS TRUE POSITION.

John Lind's remarks before the
free silver club at the city hall last
night could not have helped but prove
a disappointment to his friends, who
have given him credit with being a
broad-guaged man. He has claimed
all along that he was Republican in
all things except silver. But his state
ment last night that he is with the
Popocrats and stands squarely upon
Chicago platform, platform unDem-
ocratc in nearly or quite everything,
platform that standsfor reputation
and everything that the Republicans
have ever opposed, shows that he has
burned his bridges behind him, and
gone oyer bodily to the crowd who
have taken him up as their candidate
for governor. Further than this he
declared that the silver question was
not the only question before the peo-
pie: it was only a small one of many,
and declared that the great issue was
the producing classes against the men
who possess money, who direct the
great enterprises of the nation. He
endorsed fully the demagogical state
ment of Senator Faulkner that it is
the poor against the rich. These
ideas are not such as Mr.. Lind has
heretofore entertained or expressed,
and will hardly take well with many
Republicans who have entertained the
notion that they might vote for him
next November. They have accepted
as true his statement that has gone
out that he has not changed, that
upon all points he stands the same as
he has in years past. His remarks last
evening sweep away this idea, and
shows that to obtain the governorShip
he is willing to raise class issue
with all of the hatred it may possibly
involve, and that in the issues the
Popocrats have attempted to raise, he
stands shoulder to shoulder with BIy-
an, Altgeld, Tillman and others, in
the reputation and anarchistical
movements they have promulgated.
Six months ago none would have be-
lieved it of him, but his plain state
ment last night marks plainly the
path along which he is travelling in
his attempt to reach the governor
ship. Personally, thousands of Re-
publicans will regret to part paths
with Mr.. Lind in their political asso-
Citations, but they will be unable to
follow him or any other man in the
support of the Chicago platform, I'M
American as it is from end to end in
it's declaration of principles, several of
which might seriously affect the ad-
ministration of state matters if cir
cumstances should so shape them
selves.
