these papers affect to believe that Mr..

of this money TO his own use. Yet
that is precisely what these papers
would be glad to see become of thi :

them is their implicit confidence in
Mr.. Harvey's integrity. which insures
that all this money will be spent for
the most effective furtherance of the
free silver cause. Two million dol
lars is quite a sum of money, but it is
intended to spend it all for education
al purposes and to spread it out over
a period of two years. The Hannaites
will doubtless spend several times
that sum in the doubtful states within
the next two weeks.

The Republican party has no apollo
gy to offer for the .personel of the
magnificent ticket which it presents to
the voters of the state of MINES ota,
and which will be trimphantly elected
on November 9Th. At the head of the
ticket is William Henry Eustis OF
Minneapolis, whose name is familiar
throughout the length and breadth OF
the state. The soul of honor and the
embodiment of well-directed energy,
educated, eloquent and practical, he
is emiaently fitted for the highest Office
in this great commonwealth. The only
Office Mr.. Eustis has every held is that
Of Mayor of Minneapolis and his ad-
ministration was characterized by a
wisdom and discretion now unusually
recognized. He instituted moral
and administrative reforms which
will remain as recognized methods, to
the betterment of this city. His policy
was the well-matured plan of high.
minded and conscientious executive,
intent upon improving the individual
as well - che community.

And that A. Y. Merrill was defeated

general because he assisted in the
passage of the Anderson bill taxing
railroad lands? And that H. w.
Childs was not nominated for a
third term for attorney general, or
for the supreme bench, because he
had rendered assistance in the trial
of the Stevenson case? He didn't
say so, because he knew that it is
not true-but he left it to be in

two years ago because he succeed
ed in getting a large appropriation

OUR COMMISSIONERS.

County Commissioner Smith,
who was renominated at Belgrade
for that important office, needs no
words of special commentator to
his constituents. BY devoted ser
vice and close attention to the de-
tails of duty, he has won the con-
fidence and esteem of every town
ship and community in his dis
tricr. He knows its every need, is
familiar with every condition, and
there is not a school district, road
OF bridge in western Stearns which
is not familiar to him BY repeated
travel over the territory he has a
complete knowledge of every re-
auirement. and this is of immeas-
urable advantage to the district,
and every taxpayer within it.
During the four years ne has
been in office he has been instru'
mental in building nineteen bridges
and laid out miles of valuable high
way-more than was ever accom-
plished by any of his predecessors
He is an invaluable man to his
district, which has ever been pay
ing taxes, and the other districts
getting the benefit of them. He is
a persistent worker and very effec'
tive.
In the broader field of county
affairs he has been equally valu.
able. In the rebuilding OF the ole
Court House by expanding $fS,'
900 the county has settled fol
years to come the ever pressing
question of a new building which
would have cost from $4,000 to
500. OOO-he fully met the de-
nands of western Stearns. ne
opposed the bond proposition from
first to last.

1t is very difficult for Mr.. Towne
or Mr.. Lind to make much pro-
gress in discussing state issues
They were both ardent republicans
up to two years ago, both intelli-
gent and we'll informed men, and
both banking heavily upon the
capital of their respective unflinch.
ing honesty. Now, if the state
government is so bad that it re-
quires such radical changes as they
advocate, it must have deteriorated
very rapidly -gone all to pieces
morally and politically within two
years-or else they stand self
accused of supporting rotten
political structure during all the
past years it has been rotten and

h. M. ANDERSON.

The republican candidate for the
legislature is a man who has been
engaged in farming in southwest
ern Stearns county for many years,
and during the past twelve years
has been in active business as the
manager of the Brooten branch of
the Sawyer & Arnold Lumber COM
pany, doing an extensive trade
with the farmer. He is emphatic
ally a practical man, land his expert
ence in the interests mostvital to the
state at large, and his immediate
district admirably fits him as repre-
sentative. His integrity is beyond
question, while in point of intelli-
gence he is thoroughly competent
TO discharge the duties of the office
for which he is a candidate. On
two previous occasions Mr.. Ander-
son has been urged to accept the
nomination for the Legislature, but
has felt constrained to decline on
account of business engagements.
Mr.. Anderson to his credit be it
said, is enthusiastically supported
by those with whom he has had
long continued and close business
relations. Where best known he
is strongest. A Scandinavian of
long residence in this country he
has ever been a cheerful and safe
adviser of his countrymen who
were not familiar with the Ian
guags and customs Of the country
in which they were strangers. A
more patriotic or high minded
citizen cannot be found among
those born on American soil of a
long American lineage, and his ap-
peal for support at the polls is not
made by reason of the accident OF
birth. Had he not the qualitica-
tons which 60 to make good
representative of an American dis
trict in an American legislature,
his name would not be upon the
ticket. He is above making ap-
peal to racial prejudice for political
SlJDDOrt.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1898-10-13

and not a little of the credit be-
longs to him. He has persistently
foughtfor economy, and no jobbery
or suspicion of favoritism has ever
attached to him.
In short, he is honest, industri-
Gus and devoted to the interests OF
his district, and knows how best to
serve them. 1t would be unwise
to entertain thought of dispens'
ing with his services. The district
will not consent to it.
