and 143 Democrat have certainly been
elected members of the lower house of

bers, from the same districts two wears
ago, 1S9 Republicans were elected and
Ill Democrats. This is Republican
loss OF 80 and Democratic gain of the

New York delegation is estimated at 10
Republicans and Is Democrats.
Chairman Babcock, Of the Republican
congressional committee, has made tho

RESULT m MINNESOTA
That Lind Has Been Elected
by S-1all NlaiOrity

Probability Tint Lind Has Been Elected
by S-nnii Minority.
ST. PAUL, -,t''. 9.-Minnesota has no1
only always been considered doubtfus
state, but that is certainly her position
this year. Two years ago Mckinley
had a plurality of nearly $1,000 for.
president, and Clough for governor was
elected by $500. notwithstanding some
adverse local conditions of the state
ticket. This year the state is not only
doubtful, but at midnight was being
generally placed in the Democratic
column, at least SO far as the governor
is concerned. Eusris, the Republicans
candidate, ran behind his ticket in most
OF those precincts where the vote on all
the candidates was given, SO that the
TACT that much fuller returns will bs
needed to decide between the guber-
material candidates is looked on as pre-
sumptive evidence that the rest of the
republican ticket is probably elected.
Ihe legislature, which will probably
elect successor to Senator Davis, is
conceded Republican. The Republicans
have certainly elected four congress
men, the other three being doubtful
rather than positively Democratic.

"nigger" because negro happened to

Col Boyd can do it is no wonder thai
his Republican friends were disapRpint-

PEN to he appointed Assistant Attorney
General? No. 1t was done because he
is a leading politician in his party. 1t is
for the same reason that negroes are

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
PopULIsT REGISTRAR A FELoN.

.POPULIST REGISTRAR A FELON.
Windsor Ledger.
The "fair election law and honest poll
holder" has been the Populist battle cry
for the last few campaigns. To accuse
every other party of dishonesty and to
arrogate to themselves all the virtues,
has been the custom of those POpulist
leaders who squat for silver and for
Pritchard: who grow red i'll the face
denouncing the gold standard and vote
for Republicans, who favor nothing but
the gold standard. 1t has been the
cry that the Democrats appointed unfit
men to hold the elections. The present
election law was framed by the POpulists
and Republicans for the purpose of keep
ing the Republican party in power. The
qualifications for the office of registrar
are as follows:
"a citizen Of the county and
qualified voter of the precinct"
See section Z present election
law.
A registrar must be an electoral per
son entitled to vote. The naming of
registrars and poll-holdeLs rests with the
chairmen of the three political parties
edCu CildlGlldu presenting Htht AASI "
represent his party.
In precinct No. of Windsor township,
we have the spectacle of a convicted fell
on appointed to represent the Populists
as registrar, and not only is he felon
but his name duly challenged has been
stricken from the registration books.
The name of the man is JOHN w.
TODD.
Two years ago he registered to vote
and as it was known that he was con-
victed Of larceny in Moore county, he
was challenged and although the chal-
lenge was not allowed he I'd not dare
vote. In the school tax election of Aug
ust 1897, his name was again chaleng-
ed and stricken from the registration
books. Yet in the face of the fact that
he is not an elector, and is convicted
felon, a thief who served sentence in
Moore county jail, the Populist party
names John w. Todd as its representa-
tive. He is indeed a fit representative
