Sixteen to one-ratio of nonsense
to sense in many Of the poll tical
argument nowadays.
The free and unlimited coinage
of political promises are now being
generally made. After election,
the coiners will find considerable
trouble in fulfilling their promises.
Politics is red hot in Minnesota.
The Minneapolis Journal says "a
deaf man using the finger alphabet
sprained his thumb in the veh-
emence Of his silver argume Mt yes
terday.'
The Populists had a stormy time
at St. Louis last week and could
not go Bryan's Mate, but in spite
of his refusal to accept the nomin-
alton without his mate, they unan-
imously nominated him. ~
The Council have taken hold of
the water question with a determi-
nation, tc secure supply of pure
water, necessary to supply the de-
mands Of the citizens. The work
will be done under their super
vision so that there will be no lag
ging or defects in the work.
Carl Schultz Of Worthington, an
old member of the democratic state
central committee says that there
is large free silver sentiment in
his part of the state, but the bust
ness men generally repudiate the.
Chicago platform and will not sup.
port it. He favors an independent
ticket SO that conscientious demo-
Gratis can vote their party ticket
without stultifying themselves. -
St. Paul Dispatch.
/; The Rock County Herald, bitterly
opposed the nomination of Gov.
Clough but now with the interests
of the party at heart and desire
to see the nominees of the repub-
lican ticket elected says; Unfortun-
ately, however, the nomination for
governor can not be considered
apart from the republican cause.
It is so intimately related to other
interests in cause which every
good republican is bound by every
consideration of public duty to
support and defend.
The dumping ground in the vi
cinity of the mill appears to be a
source of annoyance yet. The Off
GERS under whose control this
ground comes, cannot devote their
time to apprehend offenders, but
rely upon the people affected, or
others to furnish them reliable
information in order that they may
enforce the law. People desiring
OF put an end to this nuisance
should furnish the names of the
offenders and not only state that
the prohibited practice is being
continued, as this information is Of
no benefit to the Board of Health.
1t would not down. The story that
W.D. Washburn is in the plot to
defeat Clough by adding and alb
betting the nomination Of John
Lind is receiving credence in more
quarters than one. There is no
doubt but what Washburn is anx-
ious to see Clough go down to de-
feat. Failing in his effort to de-
feat him in the convention the ex-
senator will take other means to
bring about his revenge. A few
days ago local paper published
a letter from Washburn in which
he told of his love for the repub-
lican party and Mckinley but did
not say a word about his love for
Governor Clough.-Mankato News.
The Popocrats are telling that
the tariff will cut no figure in this
campaign. If these same Popo-
Gratis would stop their noise long
enough to converse for a few min
utes with laboring men in our large
manufacturing centers, who have
been out Of work a good share of
the time during the past two or
three years because of the present
tariff law. sr1DDlemented hv froo
