is THAT THE BEST?
Prof. TWitchel Gives a Free
Silver Talk at the Court
House.

Prof. Twitchell was advertised for
a free silver speech at the court house
last Thursday, and a small audience
turned out to hear his demonstra ton
of how 53-cent dollars would he
worth 100 cents If there we're only
enough of them. His ability to
draw an audience was properly sized
up, when the managers Of free
silver campaign decided to use the
court house instead of the opera
house. He Is, q very radical free
silver man, and made tho most ~ex-
travagant claims as to what thefree
silver coinage ar ]6 to would bring
about. He wound up his speech by
saying that he was about to start a
free silver paper at st. Cloud. ano
wanted to obtain subscriptions for
it. Being asked II he wanted his
money in advance he said he did, He
evidently has some faith in Bryan's
election, but not In the absurd idea
that the value OF q dollar can be
maintained II free coinage is adopted.
If he gets q dollar in advance he
knows the dollars value IL as great
as that Of gold dollar, but with
free coinage of silver dollar will he
worth only about 80 cents in gold.
He naturally wanted the dollarnow.
He got very few subscriptions, and
the meeting was a disappointment
to the audience, as it must have
been to the man who tried to work
them for help for his St. Cloud news
paper deal.

A Little Falls citizen who was In
Minneapolis few days ngo. saw
"Windy Wyman' there, and learned
that he was constantly talking free
silver. He appeared in Little Falls
early in the spring, and put IN sew
eral weeks talking free silver on the
streets and whtrevc else he could
get listeners. He has fOg-horn
voice, and is terribly in earnest. He
had no business here-eXcept talking
free silver. Later he went TO Snuk
Rapids. and was at the same game
there. He was next heard from in
in Stillwate where he was bowling
on the street corners for free silver
coinage. Now he is in Minneapolis
devoting his time and breath to the
same cause. He claims to have his
home in the West. and represented
himself here as a retired saw mill
man. He doesn't attempt to use
much argument, but savagely abuses
the East. and is particularly vim
dictive against corporations. His
effort is apparently to arouse hatred
against the sections OF the nation
that are evidently against free silver.
1t would be interesting to know just
what influence keeps him so active
in the cause.

CAN'T STAND GRIEF.
A Little Republican History En-
courages Efforts for Local
Harmony. &c.. ss. ~.

- The Republican party 'ist all right
at fighting the enemy, but sho WIS
particular weak ness when 1t, comes
to settling any family differences. A
history of the last three contests
showsth there ha We been only
three active contests In ten years.
In 1883 there was a fight In the
'caucuses bet ween BovFk and Flynn
for the Legislature. and the proceed
ings In the caucuses sand county
convention were SO Unsatisfactory
to- Bouck and his friends that they
bolted the convention, taking very
nearly half the delega ties from the
hall. The next campaign. 1880,
James Stuart and Mart Scott made
a fight In the csucuses for the nomi-
nation. for sheriff. q stuart won the
but Scott's friends
charged that unfair work had been
done in caucus; and Stuart lost
many more Republican votes than
would have baenneedetf to elect him.
He was defeated. and the reason was
traced directly to caucupes that his
.opponen ts criticised. The next fight
was over delegates to the late state
convention T. - H.-....' ..~-.~s~> f.
In each OF the above contests the
'split" occurred over the admission
of contrasting delegates. These are
the only times there hive been
important division Of sentiment ON
political matters among Republicans
in this county since 1886, and invari-
ably the party has suffered by it.
just what the result will be II one
actine contest was to follow directly
after another, only trial will show.
The Transcript hasn't enough
curiosity to really care to learn just
what the result would be. Possibly,
it would act ascounter-irritant, and
bring the patient out strong and
robust. But we doubt it. &;
Every Republican has a right to-
aspire to Office, butevery Republican
WORTHY OF Office will recognize that
the party itself has some rights.
