able is as follows:

1t will be seen by this that 27O votes
are given to the Republicans, while
224 are necessary to elect. But the
Major included several states which it
may be claimed are somewhat doubt
full, as for instance Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska and Washington, having a
total of 80 electoral votes. This would
leave total of 231 votes, or majority
OF eight. Then taking out West Vir-
ginia with her votes, and the Repub-
licans still have majority of two.
But on square honest money plat
form, standing for practical bimetal-
lism, the Republicans are pretty sure
of winning some of those states. West
Virginia would be pretty sure of re-
naming in the Republican column
There would also be more than a fight
ing chance for winning Nebraska,
while Kentucky and Maryland would
be very apt to be found ranged in IA
vor OF honest money as againsta silver
monometallic standard, as would also
North Dakota. So it will be seen that
the Republicans have everything to
gain by remaining true to their prin-
ciples for sound money, untinged by
any faint of dishonesty or fatism. To
falter in this respect, will be simply
to invite defeat. If the silver mining
states must have unlimited free silver
or nothing, the Republicans will be
stronger without themi than with
them.

THE UNION DEPOT.
Brown Stone May not be Used in
Its Construction.

Supt. Spencer took trip to ST..
Paul Monday, and while there saw
the plans of the new union depot
which is to be built in this city. The
plans are now complete, and call for
a main building eighty-fve feet long
and two stories high, and an entire
length, including sheds, of two humid
red feet. The material will be stone,
but whether it will be stone from
this vicinity or brown stone has not
yet been decided upon. The officials
would prefer brown stone, as it will
not discolor in the smoke surround
ing a depot. Still, with the idea that
the citizens might prefer stone from
nearer home, the chances are that a
light colored Kasota or Mankato stone
will be used.
The contract for the building will
be let this spring, and work will COM
mence as soon as the grading of the
location is completed. =
Nothing has yet been lealned
as to whether the Milwaukee road in
tends to go into the new depot.

STAND TRUE.

The financial plank of the Ohio Re
publican platform continues to be a
source of discussion for the politicians
everywhere, and could hardly cause
more were it the utterance of a ma
tional convention. This of course is
because of the great prominence of
their candidate for the presidency.
But there are two things which should
be kept strictly in mind regarding
this matter. First, that the Ohio
declaration is not the national plat
form, and in the second place that it
is the linking together of two distinct
propositions, and that if the first
could be interpreted into meaning the
free coinage Of silver, it is neutralized
by the second, which demands that
the two metals shall be kept at parity
and that the purchasing power of
every dollar, whether of gold, silver
or paper, shall be equal. This latter
cannot be done by free coinage by this
country alone, and it destroys any in
depreciation which may lean toward
unlimited free coinage.
However, if there was any intention
in the mind of the writer of that
plank, in hoping to catch the favor of
the free silverites by such shaping of
the financial plank, it has utterly
failed. 1t is not satisfactory to them,
because it denies the very principle of
independent free coinage at 16 to 1 by
this country alone. Washington dis
patches state that the members of
congress from the silver mining states
declare that there must be straight
declaration for free coinage at st.
Louis or they will bolt. They will &C
cept nothing else. Very we'll, so let
it be. If the silver mining states
have arrived at this point, it will help
simplify matters very much. The only
thing for the party to do is to adopt a
straightout sound money plank.
There should be no lodging, no strad
ding, but it should be put in plain
language so that all can understand,
and the Republican party will be far
stronger than it will upon any plank
which it may be asserted can be read
both ways. If the Republican party
is to be defeated, let it be defeated
battling, as it always has in the past,
for the right.
But bolt of the silver mining
states will not defeat the Republican
party. Throughout the north and
east sound money declaration will
strengthen it.
In recent issue of the Chicago
Times Herald, Major Moses P. Handy
in the course of an article on the SUBJ
ject, gives table of states and their
electoral vote which he claims will go
Republican, if that party declares for
protection and honest money. The

COUNTY POLITICS.
Some of the Talk That is Going
Rounds.

County politics continues to be a
subject for interesting discussion
wherever the voters get together in
the county.
Hon. Gilbert Gutterson has decided
not to be candidate for renomina-
tion as representative, and states
that his mind is made up definitely.
This will complicate matters some
what.
Marcus Williamson, of Medo, and
LIS. Terry, of Garden City, have been
mentioned as possible candidates for
representative.
j. e. Drews' name has been brought
forward as good man for county
commissioner.
d. S. Evans, of this city may con-
clude to be a candidate for county
treasurer, as many of friends have
spoken to him about the matter He
has resided in Mankato for the past
thirty years, always been faithful
Republican, and has never asked for
anything before.
The recent election up in Judson
seems to have left matters there in
rather chaotic state, and it is given
out that some of the would-be can
didates have been affected by early
frost. On the other hand, it is said
that the result of the primaries this
week may place different light on
matters.

A POSSIBLE CANDIDATE.

The friends of Fred Gerlach, of Nc
Pherson are urging him to become a
candidate for legislative honors. As
yet Mr.. G. has not decided the mat
ter, but his friends feel confident that
he can be prevailed upon to make the
race.
Mr.. Gerlach is first class gentle
man, has host of friends scattered
throughout the county, and if he con-
sents to 90 into the contest, will make
lively and vigorous fight.

CONVENTION ECHOES.
Why Tuesdays Road Meeting Took
the Turn it Did.

Much surprise has naturally been
created by the manner in which the
good roads convention conducted it.
self during the last hour Tuesday
afternoon. The convention was called
and hall secured, at much labor and
expense, and such efforts were made
to keep the city in the background,
that it was reasonable to suppose that
the delegates would be willing to
unite in forward movement.
The trouble seems to have been
started at some of the town meetings,
where the matter was talked over, land
the delegates were evidently instruct
ed to oppose anything looking to the
overturning of the old system of work
ing out the poll tax. Many came with
this intention, had no sympathy with
the excellent ideas advanced by the
speakers, and jumped at every chance
to obstruct progressive move.
There also seemed to be a feeling
that the action of the convention
would be decisive, while as matter
of fact it could do no more than recon-
mend it's conclusions upon the various
townships, to be adopted or rejected
by them as the voters might elect. A
permanent organization could do no
more than continue the agitation for
good roads along intelligent lines.
1t was amusing that the city
should have been accused of manipu-
lating the convention, when the
farmers had the organization and
committees, and outnumbered the
city delegates fifteen to one. 1t was
not true that the city attempted in
any manner whatever to improperly
influence the action of the convention.
While very few of the delegates
were satisfied with the roads as they
are, the great majority favored better
roads if they could be obtained with
out expense, and large portion,
though not a majority, favored con-
tinuing the agitation aloug the lines
proposed by those who had called the
convention. 1t is doubtful whether
the majority of the farmers of the
county, who must have an apprecia-
tion of the value of better roads, were
truly represented by the majority
of the delegates.
The movement has received tenn
porary setback, but the agitation will
continue with increased force and
power, and the tendency of the times
and the advance of broad-guaged
ideas cannot be defeated. The advO-
Gates of good roads are far from dis
couraged, and will hew to the line in
the future with more energy than
ever, as some excellent friends were
developed at the convention yester-
day.
The board of audit met yesterday
and no bids or proposals for the pay
ment of interest on deposits of county
funds in the various banks of the
county were received. The banks Of
fered to give bonds, and the deposit

at each bank was authorized: Ma
tional Citizens, $50, 900 First National,
$50. 900; Mankato National, $50, 900
