THROWING OUT BALLAST.


people is the continuance of lie 1-epuO-
lican party in power in the state and
nation. the other roplvinr tkat C"publi-
can supremacy is hostile 10 every Ma
tional and individual iltaS1st: the one
denOuncing the claims and assertions of
the other in the strongest terms, and
each in effect calling the other liar"
Mr. Miller then goes on to show that.
for six years, the original Mr.. Lind was
the trusted and hOnored representative
in congress from the Second district;
and how. while holding that high posi-
ton through the grace Of the Republican
party he succeeded in making good
reputation by unfolding Republican
principles. The article points with pride
to the mutual confidence inspired by mu-
tual labOrs in sublime and common
cause between the enthusiastic young
John Lind and his attached constituents:
and then turns with honest grief toward
that later and older john Lind who,
'.now cOnfesses that he is neither Re
publican. g Democrat or a Populist. and
pleads for sympathy on the ground that
he is only q political orphan.
Is not the contrast between these two,
John Linds a notably sad one?
+ Mr.. Eustis is meeting tie opposition
forces in the discussion of state issues in
perfectly manly and straightforward
fashion. Wherever he appears upon the,
platform he not only covers the ground
50 far as great national issues are con-,
serned. but takes up in detail all the
critical and hypercritical arguments Of
his opponents. answering them in detail.
For instance, On Friday Of last week
he addressed n crowded audience at
Willmar. AMI Ga-Cta2 two hours in ar
Swe?il- 10 =! =: Y 'ss:~called arguments
on stat. issues and pouring hot shot into
the ranks of the enemy. He declared
; that. if elected, he would enter upon the
! discharge o: his duties unembarrassed
! by a single political pledge. and the APP
! pointmrnt of men to, public Office. or
! theirirelention therein, would rest solely
upon ability and character.
The grain inspection law had it's origin
| in R publican. legislation. and has been
+ amended from time TO time by Repub-
! lican legislatures. The farmers of the
state never asked for any amendment. to
the grain inspection law which has not
been: frealy granted by Republican legis
