Is it not q itt1s remarkable what
gauzy lies arc thrown forward for the
purpose of deceiving the gullible vote,
in a campaign Year, Chairman Rosing
seems to have been unusually prolific
in partisan mendacity during. the OK.
listing campaign. In the first PLACE, he
organized and put under pay some half
a dozen or more. Democratic veteran
soldiers of the civil war. These mon
commenced their campaign OF SANDER
SO early that their eff orts to deceive
the veterans have been dis.
counted, and now return to plague
the inventor. Everywhere through
ont the state the veterans Of the
civil war are re. forming the
lines under the old flag OF, Republican,
ism, and the prospect now is that they
will present a front solid against the
combined forces Of Democracy ana
Populism at the polls next month as
they did against tho allied forces of the
great rebellion from Bull Run to Ap.

Incorporating those names as directors,

John s. Pillsbury. George A. Pillsbury,
ex-mayor Of Minneapolis; Hon, Thomas
