Saturdays game between the Bangor
and Ellswor th high school teams was the
most exciting game seen here this season,
and realized the prediction of friends OF
the Ellsworth team that on a dry field
the Bangor boys would not have things
so easy as they did at Bangor in the
snow.
The score was go in favor OF the Ban
gor team. This score is smaller than the
boidest friend OF Ellsworth high would
have dared TO predict, and disagreeably
small for the visItors--but 1t was not as
small as it should have been.
The Ellsworth team charges its defeat
to the ragged umpiring OF ID. F. Snow,
of Bangor. The visitors resorted to off
side play, holding and smuggling, and
though the attention OF the umpire was
repeatedly called to this Irregular playing,
he Intentionally, or through ignorance,
remained blind to it. W hen the touch
down was made by Corners, Campbell
almost had his clutches on the runner
when Smith, OF the Dangers, abbed
i'm about he neck and held him. This
kind Of playing in the second half won
the game for Bangor. Bellatty umpired

A FLINSY EXCUSE.

But the point we desire to emphasize now
is the charge than Judge Canty joined in
this decision. The elevator case was argued
before the court Dec G. 1892 the Judges
present being Gilfillan Mitchell, Collins,
Vanderberg and Buck. Judge Canty did not
take his seat until January, 1891. He did
not hear the argument. and took no part in
the dec Sion Judge Mitchell wrote the de-
cision, and more just and meritorious
ruling has never been made by a judicial
tribunal.
A public man like Mr. Donne!ly and a
body claiming to represent the people, who
would SO purposely misstate facts for a
party purpose, unworthy public respect
-Mankato Review.
The decision in question was made
while both CAVITY and Buck had seats
upon the supreme bench. The contro-
versy had attracted state wide attention,
and neither Canty nor Buck uttered
word Of dissent. Why were they silent
Because they approved of Mitchells
ruling, and the action Of their Repub-.
ican associates. The decision was the
act of the whole bench, and from that
hour tc this neither Canty nor Buck has
ever uttered word of disapproyal of it.
1t is flimsy excuse which the Man
kato Review makes. ID

\ PARROT AND OWL TIME,

On our front page will be found a
thrilling account of the late Hennepin
county Popuiist convention. The report
was taken from The Tribune. 1t reads
like dime novel, while it has the
merit OF being based upon facts IT
furnishes cumulative evidence of the
harmonizing influences and the centri-
petal power of fusion to draw all man
kind together to EOts~for a common end
The next attempt OF. the fusionists will
be to get the Republicans and Democrats
to vote The same ticket eliminate All
differences CT opinion, all individualities
and unite the-n nation into one grand har-
monious whole. A few more harmonious
conventions, few more busted parties,
a few more defeated tickets, a few more
disappointed expectations of indorse-
ment and support, and fusion candidates
everywhere will begin to consider the
question whether the hearty, whole
souled earnest support of one party isn't
preferable 10 the contempt of all the
parties &c q guilty decker EAT.

state first lien for the price.
What say you, brother farmers, have
you pluck and grit enough to stand up

Or are you waiting for Canty and
Buck to decide that a Irvine factory is

that the state has no right to enter up

Are you waiting for an Injunction to

MORE OF STACY,

Last week we demonstrated tha
Frank N. Stacy had deliberately lied, il
the state convention of June Is, by
stating that our son, a lawyer in st.
Paul. had given a professional opinion
that the Peoples Party could 60 on the
state ballot without petition But il
seems, by the following article, that 1T
has been engaged in the more dangerous
work Of signing the names of individ-
uals to communications in the news
papers without any authority from
them:
Cine Minneapolis Times. July IL
The Times received a communication yes
terday which puts new light on the letter
printed in Thursdays Times with the sig
natures of well-knOwn PopulistS. The let
ter stated that they intended to turn out to
the primaries and help down the mid
readers Monday evening. One of the names
signed to that letter was that of John Nc
Elroy, a veteran Populist and till recently
chairman Of the county and city committee
He was deposed by the mid-roaders and left
the committee. Mr.. Nc Elroy says that he
never signed that letter and never heard of
1t until he saw it in The Times. S. NJ.
owens name was also affixed but Mr..
Owen is in Boston and could hardly have
signed it. Neither was it signed by Thoma s
Chapman, A. E. Barker or w S Chisholm
whose names appeared under the letter.
Mr.. McElroy's communication follows:
To the Editor of The Times:
L did not authorize Stacy to sign my name
TO the article that appeared in Thursday $
Times. l never saw it until read it in The
Times | would not have signed it if l had

The reckless and mendacious man.
