With the people Mckinley is the
strongest, candidate yet offered by
the republican party. That Gov.
Mckinley will be nominated on the
first ballot is now generally conceded
even by his opponents. The over
whelming strength which he develop
ed in the Illinois state convention in
spite of the organized opposition to
him under the skillful generalship of
the political bosses in that state, has
given an impetus to his boom which
lis destined to carry all before it.

all those who are, interested in the
prevention of the adulteration should

the bill passes, manufacturers of beer

Under the Mckinley tariff period
that the tariff duty on barley was in
creased from ten to thirty cents per
bushel. As a result the importations
of barley fell from upward of eleven
million bushels to less than one mil
lion bushels, during the time Nc
Kinley law was in operation, farmers
of the United States increased their
annual barley production by several
million bushels. The imports falling
off and the price increased by reason
of the increased duty upon the arti-
Gle. The imports of all farm pro
ducts have increased since the repeal
of tina Mckinley law.
Hon. Ed. Weaver of Mankato has
declined to be candidate for nomi
nation to congress and is very en-
phatic in his declination. 1t is con-
coded that MIR. McCleary is the only
man that could succeed in securing
the nomination in Blue Earth county
and would carry the county against
any other aspi1ant. 1t will be a sour
&c of qualification to him to know
that he will have no contestant in his
home county and that they will &C
cord him honor which,he has so just
ly earned by giving him an enthusi-
astic and uncontested delegation.
The withdraw of Mr.. Weaver from
the contest leaves field practically
clear for McCleary, as Sommerville
is considered to be very weak can
didate and is only mentioned as
candidate by very few papers of the
district.
In a private letter to NJ. G.. Willard
Of Mankato, Congressman Keefer
says "See to it that your able repre-
sentative, j. T. McCleary, than
whom there is no more able repre-
sentative in Congress-, is returned.
He is the champion of sound money
finance and our state has reason to
be proud of him." =.
Congressman McCleary will no
doubt be nominated with but little
opposition.
Concerning, what are known as
"Standing advertisements" in the
newspapers, which some merchants
say are useless, it has been remarked,
and truly, that they command con-
fdence. The man who for years re-
sides in a community and lives a re-
putable life, even though he be of
moderate ability, will grow in the
confidence and esteem of his fellows.
On the same principle newspaper
advertisement becomes familiar to the
eyes of the reader. It may not be
carefully read every day, still it
makes the name and business of
man familiar, and its continued pre-
sence in the columns of paper in
spires confidence in the stability of
the advertiser.-Nobles Co. Dem.
