Lind only got 276 votes in the three
townships Of Linden, Lake Hanska and
Albin. But let us for the sake Of COM
parison see how many Samuel =. Peter
son got two years ago when he ran for
the senate 1853 votes, that's all! And
he was supposed to be one Of tire strong
est men in the county, and heaven and
earth were set IN motion to secure his e.
lection. Nevertheless, they come to us
and tell us that Llnd's vote was small
one and in nowise complimentary to him.
That's the Republican way of figuring.
Who voted for Lind in those three
townships? Every upright. young, in
telligent man who had read little some
thing besides the ssSkandlnaven." Every
upright man who dares to look his fellow
men square in the face who knows what
work is and what ability is who has pa
triotism enough not to wish to see man,
who has neither the courage nor ability.
t. defend his own cause but who remains
at home, backed by the money OF mil
lionaires, elevated to the highest admin
istrative position in hesitate. All these
men stood for their gallant leader without
wavreing. and are willing to do SO again,
even though the ordnance Of the Republic
can camp be heavier than it was this time.

Regretted their action, and you may hear
lots of Swedes admit that "they fooled
me a trip that time" The sympathy for
Lind is general, land were another election
to take place today, he would be elected
by an overwhelming majority. Even the
men who worked against him maintain
an ominous silence, and the attitude of
the Scandinavian press in this case will
always remain a dark page in the history
of American intelligence and truthful
ness.

Let Mr. Davis but remember the obi

Some years ago Col. Ingersoll SAID
that he would join the church whenever
Kentucky went Republican. Wei, Ken

mains to be seen if the Colonel will keep
his word.
The season is approaching when to

G.. X. Davis in the cabinet would he
all right, but VIM. r. Merriam in the
senate wouldn't be. One hinges on the
other, and the people of this state are
very anxious to know if Mr. Davis is 60
ing to allow either to come about.
Bryan opened the campaign for 1900

If the Pioneer Press, in its advocacy
of Cushman X. Davis for a place in Nc
Kinley's cabinet, is no more sincere with
that gentleman than when it doomed INN
