EDITOR HERALD-Sir: [ see the St.
Cloud Times is trying to make fuss
over DR.. Campbell and the Melrose
post Office and condemns Judge Nor
ris because he did not appoint Camp
bell. Has Macdonald forgotten when
he had the distribution of the offices
during the first Cleveland administra-
ton? This very same post office he
promised to one of his friends the man
was sure Of it; but when he went to St..
Cloud to apply for it, O'Mac says: you
must get up petition and get The
majority of the business men of Mel
rose to sign it before you can get it, -
and ne never got it. Macdonald left
Mr.. Lindberg in the post office for the
most of the Cleveland term until he re-
signed. If Page Morris had applied
the same test to Campbell he would
never look for the post office, for when
he left Melrose and went west with the
sun he abused the people of Melrose
and the Germans in particular, and he
must haye a good cheek to ever set
foot in MelrOse. Page Morris need
not trouble himself about Campbell.
for he has very little influence in Mel
rose or any where else.
see by Campbell's speech he is not
a democrat. He reminds me of Hon
est John Lind. Two years a go he was
not democrat or populist or repub-
lican, but merely an Office seeker.
Mr.. Editor, that is the way Macdon-
aid used his democratic friends, and
especially the Irish. He was too busy
taking care of himself. He very soon
got to be receiver of the land Office
and to the best of my belief he had
promised it to one of his best friends,
but we never heard about it until he
had it himself; and he had it for the
full four years so he need not make
such lament if brother Mckinley took
his scalp, or the ''Little Rebel" which
ever of them did it. It is shame ane
a disgrace in the year nave joine
the north aud tb"nghting for the OF
hand ,ea TO see the editor OF the great
gst democratic paper as he calls it, L
Stearns county, swinging the blood
shirt just because he was turned out c
office, an Office of $4,000 year. Fl
would not do as J. Adam Bede-thro
up his office Of 10000 because Cleve
land would not allow hip to go on tn
stump and speek for his friend. An
that is the Little Patriot THAI the edito
J of the St. Cloud Times tries TO .belittle
a man whose shoes he is not worthy t
brush, Shame, Mac, Shame!
There Is one thing more MeKinieyha
to do and soon, and that is to writ
over to good Queen Victoria and tie
her the north and the south Will neve
be satisfied until Ireland gets HON
rule, or there cannot be any union b.
tween the Americans and English III
til she let's Ireland govern herself.
Well, now, would like to know whit
; Henry Keller has done to you,
what are you so hard on him for, tn
YOU would take up a back woodsmal
a greenhorn, to belaughed at in the Sc
ate chamber in St. Paul? Keller
not master of the English languag
or cannot make a great speech Ill
your silver tongued Towne, that W
slavered over four years ago. "
, nut me in mind of a snake-an an
conda-that before he can devour an

times. That is what you had to
