<OHE--WEDNESDAY-
tbs. Jake calls on the posts to "frown
down on such friction" The Grand
Army, says Jake, is dearer to the COM
RACES tnan me aspirations OF any man;
ne would not even except Mr.. Eustis.
Jake has good deaf to say about the
Grand Army, but not q word to say
about the politicians Ill treatment of
the members OF the Grand Army. It
does not occur to Jake that the old
soldier has to i've, in order to be a
member of the Grand Army, and that
this beloved institution Is not of much
account TO him and his family II he Ia
unable to obtaina livelihood, which he
| cannot do If he Is Disseminated against
| by such men as W. H. Eustis.
AS before, Jake and his typewriter
are not a bowling success and his eff
fort with the document for Commander
| mortimer to sign Is not much improve
| ment on the first time Jake took his
! pen in hand"
Reports from Princeton, Mile Laos
! county, received at Democratic head
| quarters, are that Page Morris meet
ing there Saturday evening was bad
frost. The small hall was but partly
| filled and the audience was very large
| ly composed of women and little boys
| and girls. It was the same when Morris
| came into the town in the afternoon.
| There was not a soul TO meet the
! orator, whose speeches are out In ad-
vance, burt Page had to lug his capsL-
cious grip sack off to the hotel all by
his lone, while q few Democrats and
| Populists looked on and smiled.
A report from Mile Laos county says
| that Congressional Committeeman q.
H Austin has put things into excellent
| shape there. He appointed the follow
/ ing strong committee for the Peoples
| party:
Congressional Committeeman-M. Gutter,
| Princeton.
Chairman County Commlttee-G. P. shurte,
| Mlaca.
| w. Freer, Judge R.-W. Freer. II. Robertson,
! William Burke, James Vincent, all of Prince
ton; Thomas P. Kerr. Frank Patton, 0. II.
| Rosenquist, Peter Nelson, H. O. Derhoit, Pc
| ter Jensen, Soren Jensen, A. T. Tufty, Nels
| M. Nelson, all of Milaca, and T. T. P. Neu-
man, Of FOreston.
This and other reports are to the eff
| feet that Mile Laos Is in good shape.
! The three reform forces are working to-
| gether, and there are no mid-roaders in
! either Democratic or Populist ranks.
| Lind and victory is the slogan in Mile
! Laos.
The same reports are made from
| Sherburn county. The reform forces
are on the alert, and united.
| Green Isle has organized a strong
| Lind and BindS4 organization, and that
part of Sibley county is promising a
rCusing majority for both the guber-
Material and congressional nominees.
Mr.. Kinds will make a speech in that
vicinity at an early date, in all prob
ability.
Otter Tail county is being viewed
with considerable alarm by the Re-
publicans, as is Polk. 1t is likely that
Senator Nelson will be kept in these
two counties until the last days of the
campaign, when he will be thrown into
the outlying wards Of Minneapolis for
a series of three speeches. The edict
has gone forth from Steele's headquar-
tors that all the old timers must get
out and hustle this year, for it's going
to be close.
But, in spite of the dismay that pre-
walls at state headquarters, some of
the sanguine members Of the party
around the state are already whettinS
their knives ready to carve the calf.
Gilbert Gutterson, of Mankato, who
was in the house from Blue Earth coun-
ty in 1893, has been renominated this
year, and is already in the grooming
for the speakership. OF course he has
not been elected yet, but, then, the
early bird
S. A. Kirkham, the old soldier and
former member of the Minneapolis po-
lice force, who is a thorn In the side
of the Eustis organs In Minneapolis,
was in ST. Paul yesterday. He isn't
a bit worried over the efforts Of the
Minneapolis Times and Tribune to mako
light of his personal fight against Will
liam Henry Eustis. II am doing all
can to help defeat Eustis," said no
to q reporter, "and / am going to keep
on working with that aim until the
day Of election, no matter what the
Minneapolis Times says. L noticed II
said that found the ministers at Owa-
tonna in favor of Eustis. That is abb
solutely untrue. At that meeting OF
| Congregational ministers I didn't speak
with one who isn't John. Lind man,
and every one Of them is a Republican
| at that. I will give $100 if that Min
| neapOlis sheet will find one of them
who ever claimed he was in favor of
Eustis. asked Mr.. Smith, of Hutchin-
| son, if the ministers of that town were
| supporting Eustis, and he said that,
instead of supporting William Henry,
they opposed him in the primaries and
have hit him since whenever they got
a chance
The Minneapolis newspapers may
roast Mr. Kirkham, but they cannot
