GOVERNOR FOR
MINNESCT ia
The Minneapolis Journal Quotes
Hon. C. A. Pillsbury's Strong
Appeal for the Election Of
Governor Clough 49, Minnesota
Must Be Saved From the Fear
full Blow a Populistic Governor
Would Inflict. "

Hon. Charles A. PiIlsbury. Of Min
neapoDts, interviewed by the Min
neapoiis Journal, speaks as follows
regarding the importance Of elect
Ing a republican state ticket:
am particularly anxious for the
success Of the republican state
ticket, because ! believe that no
matter how worthy the men may
be who are running on the opposi.
ton ticket, II we should elect to
the high offices Of this state any
men who are pledged to support
the Chicago platform, It would give
the credit Of Minnesota a fearful
blow. Since the state Of Kansas
elected a popuIistic governor years
ago, no financial institution in any
part Of tho world, that I know OF,
has sent a new dollar into that
state, and they have collected their
old loans as fast as possible. Near
l!y every man Of importance has
gone out Of the state, and the 20.
pulatlon Of Kansas IL actually de-
creasing, while the other states
around her are increasing rapidly.
We may IegisIate on the currency
question, but we cannot legtsIato
on capital. Capital will invest just
when and where 1t pIeases; and
no legislation In the World-short Of
absolute conflscation Of property
would change this.
Now, II Minnesota should elect
q populIstic governor and a state
government composed Of men
pledged to that platform, the people
in the east will not argue az to
whether some Of the republicans
In this state are sore over alleged
personal or political grievances,
but they will put that down as
being the actual sentiment Of our
people on these questions, and the
people who have allowed political
or personal animosity, or race pre-
JUDGES to influence them, will be
very sick when they realize the ef-
feet Of their action, should It hap
pen that by their votes any portion
Of tho state ticket were defeated.
cannot, therefore,, too strongly
urge that every man who 10 antag-
oniotic to the Chicago platform,
should this year vote his principles,
and not his personal pre)udices ;
and ! hope to see the republican
state ticket elected by a handsome
majority from Governor cIough
down to the most unimportant

In few Of the county precincts there
we're only from one to half dozen re.
publican voters In '94. The plan of the
Mohetltes and their new bess was to domi.
nate the county central committee and
apportion one delegate at large to each
precinct and one for every fraction of
ten votes cast in the precinct. BY this
neat little scheme q precinct with only
one vote would have two delegates. while
in the city there would be but enc
delegate for each ten votes, and only
one at large, although precinct might
have hundred republican votes. The
central committee sat down hard on the
scheme Of the gentleman who was brought
from Ysnkton with the capital. and
adopted representation Of one delegate
for each twelve republican votes. lump.
ing number of precincts with only two
or three republican votes In each in order
to reach something near the basis OF an
equal representation. The Moffetite boss
was so badly ratified that he neglected to
spring the above-described unique scheme
of small.precinct Representation.

urday evening. The twister was onlys
couple OF rods wide. but 1t made up In
energy what it lacked in size.
Chris. Hanson's house, about three
miles south of Hull, lay in its path. The
house was substantial frame structure.
the main part 18 by "a feet. and, in addi-
ton thereto. a kitchen 10 by "a feet. The
building was lifted up, turned halfway
around, and dropped with one cornsSs
resting on a strongly built washing ma
chine about three feet high. That the
building was lifted perpendlcularly was
shown by the fact that the manure bank
ing around it was not brushed aside in
any place. Many Of the dishes and other
household articles were broken. Mrs.
Hanson and babe y few days old were
in bed. Half Of the roof over them was
blown of and tic windows we're. blown
In. The stove YVES overturned and the
bed caught fire therefrom. Mr.. Hanson
was near the stable, IS to 100 yards away.
He saw the tornado strike the house and
he threw himself on the ground. But he
was outside its path. as we're all his other
buildings except the dwelling He ran
to the house and put out tie fire. Neither
Mrs. Hanson nor the child were injured
in the least. Mr.. Hanson's seeder and
hayrack were smashed The tornado
came from the southeast; after haying
fun with the house it veered to the north
east, went in that direction about 100
yards. and then again started northwest.
Its direction could be traced by the pieces
of shingles, boards and timbers scattered
on the prairie, several timbers having
been driven in the ground quarter Of
mile away. Some Of the wreckags was
found two miles distant from the house.
The storm went near enough to the West
field church building to blow. over an out.
house belonging to 1t; but no damage to
speak Of, except that at Mr.. Hanson's
place. had come to the knowledge Of the
Messrs. Groen.
