THE GUBERNATORIAL SITUATION.


From the Auoka Herald: If
Judge Collins knows of the condl-
ton of affairs political in this
state and especially IN the Sixth
district, he must realize that there
is nothing but truth in the saying
that delays are dangerous. 1t is
understood that the St. Cloud man
is candidate Tor governor, and
has been for a considerable length
of tim., but he has failed as yet to
perfect any organization, While
the opposition, in the principal
person of Captain Van SAINT, has
been very effectually fixing things.
Anoka county (and no doubt
there are others similarly situated)
felt friendly to both Judge Collins
and to Mr.. Van SAINT and his sup
porters, but it felt that, owing to
it's proximity to Mr.. Collins
home, lt'owed its deepest obliga'
ton to him, and there is little
doubt that if the convention had
been held two months ago and he
had asked our support he would
have received it. But now things
are different.
We stood by awkwardly for
weeks waiting to be asked, look
ing for a Collins leader who would
take us by the hand and welcome
us into Collins camp, put no in
vitation came, aud we now nat
urally turn toward one who will
appreciate our friendship and our
support. From now OH it will be
safe to reckon Anoka county in
the Van SAINT lists, and we ander-
stand that Morrison, Carlton, St.
Louis, Crow Wing and others are
also in favor of the Winona man.
Procrastination has caused Mr..
Collins to lose his grip on the
Sixth. He has only himself t o
blame, however, and with the
office he now holds and the best
wishes of his many disappointed
friends perhaps he will be able to
worry through the remainder of
his "passive campaign

SOmearguments used by the Herald
seem tn get rather tangled up. That
paper states that "A good many Re-
publicans resent" etc., etc. Any
reader Of the Herald for the past
year and more would certainly gain
the impression that the Herald con-
sidered that there were not "a good
many Republicans" left in the city.
Now Mr.. Vasaly is willing to con-
cede that there are few alive yet.
According to the Herald nothing
is too vile and ''rOtten" for, the
Transcript to say about people who
do not agree with it in politics.
Certainly, but the editor of this paper
was never so foolish az to make a
dirty fight against his personal op-
pOnent for an office. The editor of
the Transcript always likes to win
when he is candidate, and it is
never profitable to attack the char
acter or reputation OF an opponent.

Some days. ago, a policy holder in

that be had suffered total loss un-
der $40O policy and that he had been
compelled to settle for s275. McNall
wrote to him to go to the agent and
get the number of the policy and send
1t and he would compel the company
to pay the full amount. The policy
holder replied that the agent said he
had no record showing the policy
number and therefore could not give
it. Webb replied instructing him to
go to the agent and tell him to go to
his record book, get thai number from
it and send it in. He also added that
he might say to the agent that he knew
he had such a record book because
he McNal) used to be agent for the
same company himself and that he
knew agents were required to keep
such record. McNall added that if
the agent did not give the information
promptly he would revoke his license.
The information came promptly and
the policy holder got his money. 1t

tendent who looks after the interests

he had quick consumption and heart

he had set an example of temperance,
morality and cheerful obedience to
orders that any of us might take as
model. He died for his country just
as truly IS if he had fallen in the

money he would throw up his commits

fine an officer as ever walked the deck

We haven't left Chickamauga yet

prised that a lot of farmers without
any idea of discipline, could be
brought up to such a state of efficien-
cy in so short q time, and taught too,
| without any Of the severity that IS
displayed in the regulars and some
| times in the volunteers.
The soldiers of this regiment are Of
| ficered by their own neighbors and
| friends and of course it is hard for
| such men to enforce strict discipline,
| but everyone seems TO be steadily but
swiftly turning into drilled men, and
that too, without hanging anyone up
