"Rule or ruin''is the latest policy Of
the Clough managers in Minnesota.
Despairing Of electing their man by
fair means, and realizing that unless they
do something desperate he.is beaten to a
standstill before the ballots are cast they
have dipped their arms to the elbows in
the mud bucket and are trying to accom-
plish by mud-slinging against Honest
John Lind what they could not do de-
Gently. The comparison of their man
Clough with Mr.. Lind is so greatly to
the disadvantage of the present accident
al governor that a campaign Of slander
against Mr.. Lind has been inaugurated
by the Clough,tes in their desperation
and the Lind managers have been com
pelled to issue the following address:
To the Voters Of the State Of Minnesota:
In the peculiar. condition of the pres:
ent political campaign we deem it prop
er to issue this address to the people of
this state:--2 =. 49,. .<< .3=
A careful canvass of the situation has
demonstrated conclusively to- our minds
that Mr.. Bryan will receive the electoral
vote of this state; that Mr.. Lind and his as
sociates on the ticket vii, he elected to
the respective Offices for which they are
candidates iii the state of Minnesota. If
the metropolitan daily press would fully
and fairly publish the news,it would not
be necessary for us to take this means of
explaining the, situation, but there has
been waged by our opponents a cam paign
of Misrepresentation, and the people of
leach community kept in the dark as to
| the condition in the other communities,
and while it has been observed that the
friends Of free silver are in every instance
satisfied with the work being done in
their own county, they are inclined to
think that the cause has not much ad-
| vanced in other districts.
The truth is that the people everywhere
have made this cause ther own, ,and there
is no county in the state of Minnesota in
which the free silver vote will not large
ly exceed the former total vote of the
opposition to the Republican party.
When it is remembered, therefore, that
for years in this state the Republican par
ty has had at least 100000 votes less than
onc-half the vote of this state, it will he
seen how certain the reform forces are
of carrying the state this fall. s..>2 .=s2. j !.
We have nothing but words of Praise
for the patriotic conduct Of the people
OF Minnesota in this contest. When our
victory is secured the credit will belong
to them alone. r. .. 49,. ~. y. !

Nothing,is sacred to the ssrule and
