Fergus Falls. Mimi. Oct. 4.-This year
from the present outlook 1t will be the
critical as far as the congressional and leg
islative ticket is concerned than two years
ago. Frank NJ Eddy and P. Ringdal are
both making a persistent and aggressive cam
paign. The former, though a hard worker,
is already beginning to feel the strain. The
| latter is a man of iron constitution which
| will aid him in the fight. The state ticket is
| safe for the Republicans. Mr. Loebeck's can
| didacy on the Prohibition ticket will aid Ed
| dys chances, as will Mr. Sageny, the Pro
hlbition nominee for the legislature. will
| aid Johnson. Otter Tail county will no doubt
| elect majority of its officers from the Pop
ulistic fold, though Steve Buffers election to
| the treasuryship is assured.

thusiasm and mention whatever was made

Mr.. Lind will make three speeches in
the Sixth district, at Duluth Cokato
he will be able to stop off at the judi
cial district convention at Elk River
and make an address, although the
train service is not the best for such
a plan. Inasmuch as the Republicans
realize that the cause or Page Morris
is lost one, his meetings having been
a frost everywhere, and Mr.. Towne
| seems abundantly able to carry the dis
trict unaSSiSted, not only for himself,
but for the New Ulm man, Mr.. Lind
has determined to make the bulk Of his
first trip in the Seventh district The
Republicans are WagTng u tremendous
fight for the election of Congressman
Eddy. 1t IS not only necessary to elect
Ringdal to congress in that district,
which is almost certain even now, but
it is necessary that the union forces of
the Seventh district should return a
large majority for the Democratic and
Peoples party tickets, in order that
the party can down the gerrymandered
districts Of the southeastern part of the
| state.
Consequently the greater part Of Mr..
Ljnd's route has been made out in these
two districts. After the mastering OUT
of the Twelfth regiment he will prob
ably be able to devote from five to ten
days to his personal campaign again.
but the first and forefront Of the bat
tie is to be in the Sixth and Seventh
districts.
Reports are coming IN from the
northwestern part OF the state and they
show that Knute Nelson is far from
having honeymoon on the hastings
Indeed, his path is beset with travail
and he wishes himself we'll out of it.

hendricks, of Wisconsin, is also in this
vicinity in the interest of the Republican
ticket; he spoke at Saturdays meeting, Also
both In Norwegian and English. Nelson de-
voted himself entirely to national issues and
state legislation, and did not even mention
the state ticket, which was entirely and
noticeab.y ignored throughout the entire ex-
ercises Possibly the bitter feeling here
against the state adm nistration, owing to the
arbitrary and Illegal refusal of the state
board to even permit vote on the question
of division of this county, may, in part ac-
count for this, and certain It is that any at
tempt to further Berg or Dunn's cause here
would have resulted in the breaking I'D Of
the meeting and the bowling down Of the
lists. Nelson devoted himself largely to the
tariff. particularly the pulling of wool over
the farmers eyes and the telling of how
much better prices are now than before the
Dingley bill was passed He said but little
about silver, except that the question was
dead, nothing about his bankruptcy bill, and
rather avoided the currency issue by ridicul-
ing the Cd state bank notes. On state IS
sues he claimed that fusion legislature in
81 raised taxes and did nothing else, while
the Republican legislature had passed a
whole lot Of good laws. I enclose clipping

That the Second district will stand
solidly behind John Lind, and that 4
will also rally to the support Of D. H.

for congress, is UndOubted. All through

Twelfth regiment were recruited. and

recognition of Mr.. Lind
The efforts of the Republicans to drag
the Democratic nominee away from his
campaign to answer baseless rurnOrs

any weight with the voters of the Sec
