man in November Duluth Herald.
Il is said that John Lind has also
made his farewell bow to the Republican
party Tie Populist ranks may Is .
more difficult matter,-to overcome this
time than some people think for. Il Is

Governor Clough's nomination IS now
practically assured, and politicians are
now specnlating as to what attitude the
Minneapolis papers, who have SO bitter
" opposed his nomination, will take in
the future. Our own impression IS that
the Republican party has made mis-
take in putting in Governor Clougll at
the head OF the ticket. It must be APP
parent to any close observer that should
the. opposition unite upon John Lind,
the republicans will realize that they
need their strongest man before the cam
paign has progressed many weeks,

The latest reports are that John Lind
OF New Ulm may possibly consent to
lead the opposition this fall. Should the
Peoples Party, the silver Democrats and
the silver Republicans be able to unite
upon SO strong and popular a man, there
would be little doubt Of the result

The machine has the Republican
party of this state by the throat. How
can it be made to loosen its grasp? On
sly as suggested by the Minneapolis Times,
through defeat. How can this be accom-
plished? By'a union Of all opposition ell
ements-Democrats, disguised Republic
cans. Popullsts and Prohibitionists. The
fair name Of our beloved state is at stake!
National politics cuts no figure in the e..
lection OF our governor, but it does af-
feet the good'name of Minnesota! There
fore let all elements of opposition unite
in defending our reputation as a,common-
wealth. Let some man of high charact-
and ability be selccted-ex. Congressman
John Lind, if need be-and let Minneso-
tans teach political parties a lesson,
which may last fol all time, that our
governors must be men of character and
ability-men who are tit to sit in the
chair once occupied 10y such eminent and
worthy citizens as Henry II. Sibley, A
lexander Ramsey, William r. Marshall,
John S. Pillsbury and others. The hon
or of Minnesota homes is at stake St
Cloud Times.
Mr.. Lind is recognized everywhere as
a levelheaded, patriotic and honest man,
and his bolt has caused CONSERVATION in
the camp of the gold men. The: reform
party of Minnesota will do well to make
him their candidate for governor in the
coming campaign. Thousands of Repub-
licans who cannot swallow the Clough-
Merriam single gold standard decoctien
will enthusiastically support John Lind
and progressive policy. The Populists
admire him for his manliness and patri-
otism and will stand by HIM to a man.
"Gov. Lind'' looks well, sounds well, and
we feel assured that it Will work well.
This issno time tosquibble about past po-
litical affiliations. Party lines are being
obliterated, patriotism is being arrayed
against bigotry and greed, issues of vital
importance t. the welfare of this nation
are pressing for immediate settlement,
and those who desire to throw off the
yoke Of plutocratic despotism must unite
upon candidates whose hearts are right
and whose records are good, no matter
what political party may have had their
support in the past. Elk Congressman Lind
is without doubt the strongest man whom
the Peoples party of Minnesota can nom.
Innate for governor, and we hope he vii
become our standard bearer in the cam
paign. With Lind, free coinage and anti.
monopoly, the liberal party of Minnesota
will sWeepthe state. Clar kfeld Advocate
For some time it has been known tina,
John Lind was out of harmony with Iii
party on the reform questions Of the day
and that he was only waiting for the &C
ton Of the national Republican coayen
ton to speak SO that he might adjus
himself to the reali gnment that was plain
