CLoUGH rs o. K.

The State of Minnesota has always
been fortunate in the choice of its ex-
ecutive officers, as in its whole history
OF it's line of governors, there is not
one against whom any scandal or of
fetal Wrong-doing attaches. The pres
ent executive of the State, Gov. Clough,
has successfully and honorably man
aged the affairs of the State and exc
cuted the laws as he has found them.
There is no good reason why the State
this fall should make any change.
While Clough may not becollege bred,
or belong to any silk stocking club, he
possesses an abundance of good sense
and practical business tact, which goes
far to make him safe man in the po-
sition he now occupies. He stands
close to the farmers and laboring
classes, among whom he has grown up
and whose trials and hardships he has
shared, and they have confidence in
his ability and honesty. Peter

GEN. HARRIsoN: One fact is enough

outward to any American labor seek

opened no avenue Of promise to them
or their children, know the good land
of hope as we'll as the swallow knows

RAMSEY county's real estate assess
ment is $50, 1000, 600 below that of two
years ago. City property has expert
enced a steady decline while in the
agricultural districts land has held its
own. This is a good argument in favor
of land investments and no county in
the State offers better opportunities
than Mile Laos, the queen Of the great
Northwest.

MINNEAPOLIS Journal: President
Hill, of the Great Northern road, says
that 80 per cent Of the employees of that
company are opposed to free silver.
That is quite natural. It is fair to
assume that 80 per cent of the railroad
men would be opposed to system
which would reduce the purchasing
power Of their wages while making it
impossible for their employers to in
crease the amount. But that is to be
expected.

BRYAN IS INCoNs1sTENT. /:

One OF Candidate Bryan's chief OBJ
jections to the gold standard is that it
is the English standard. Such an OBJ
lection from such a source is surpris-
ing. We should have thought that
Mr.. Bryan would have favored it for
that very reason, being, as he is, such
an ardent admirer of British economics
that he would fasten upon this country
the British policy of free trade. --

TOWNE tried to ridicule the editor
of the Anoka Herald when he spoke
there last week. The editor was one
of Mr.. Towne's strongest supporters
up to fifteen minutes before 2 o'clock
on June Is, 1867 but stayed by the
party and it's platform. Towne says
the Anoka man thought as he did in
May but has changed, but the editor
gets back at him thus: 1--WE cannot
say whether or not we thought the
same upon the coinage question in
May. We remember our opinions, but
we have no way of knowing what Mr..
Towne thought. We know what he
said he thought two years ago, but we
cannot say that we ever agreed with
him. We were in favor of reform in
the currency system. We were in
favor of the use Of both gold and sill
yer, but we never decided exactly what
the ratio should be-we certainly were
never in favor of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at Is to l. We
do not know whether he believes now
as he did in May, for the reason that
his uncertain moves this summer make
it entirely a matter of conjecture as to
what he said, did or thought at any
particular time. We need not explain
Jour platform here. All our readers
remember our devotion to this Judas.
We shall not explain our course, but
we will apologize again for our fidelity
to one so unworthy. We defended
him, we explained his course, we apol.
ogized for him until we compromised
ourself, and now we have our reward. z
