The Mankato Review, in speaking of Hon.
John Linds enlistment says he knew what
he was doing for the developments of the
war show that the position to which he
aspired was Of the highest, for fidelity Of ad-
mlnistratton Insured not only good food but
many comforts to the soldier, without which
has health and comfort were ENDANGERED
Speculations Of all kinds have prevailed in
every branch OF the army where food, goods
transportation or supplies have been han
died, to the serious injury Of the soldier. 1t
Is not so in the Twelfth Minnesota. for tho
boys have had everything that could be Sc
cured under the regulations. and the result is
that regiment is in excellent condition.
A. A. Caswel. who resigned his connection
with the Princeton Union to enter the Four
teenth regiment, a Republican of pronounced
convictions, is writing series of letters from
the front to that paper, and in a recent let
ter pays this tribute to Mr.. Lind:
while speaking Of the efficiency Of officers,
Fourteenth, who is very popular among his
men, in fact his popularity in the Fourteenth
fully equals that in his own regiment, the
Twelfth Minnesota. John Lind Is quarter
master of this regiment the most important
position in regiment, and has never given
the men chance for complaint Whenever
always the first at the quartermaster's
depot, and thus the Twelfth was always GER
tain to get all 1t was entitled to. There was
no chuckng off Of damaged goods on John
Lind, he was there and saw what was issued.
In the matter of securing food supplies he
was always prompt and the Twelfth always
got the best there was and full ratons too.
John Lind is not an officer who likes to ad-
mire his shoulder straps in a mirror all day
but he is soldier who does his duty prompt
ly and one Of whom Minnesota may be
proud. "-Waseca Herald.
John Lind is back in the state He will
soon be the hero in political fight fully as
hot as the hottest part Of the fight with
Spain. John will rout the political Span
iards in Minnesota.-Fergus Globe.
John Lind does not appear to object to doing
guard duty. We have heard nothing about his
anxiety to come home to take part in the
political campaign.-Fairmont News.
John Lind is attending strictly to business
in the army, just he did when ne was in
congress, and just as he will do when he
takes the Office Of governor Of Minnesota in
1899. His nomination came to him unsought.
and without the expenditure of a penny on
his part, or that of his friends Can Eustis
or his hackers say as much?-St. James
Journal.
John Lind--Honest John Lind-returns to
his home this week AS a soldier he has been
faithful to every duty. He will now take up
his civic duties with the same fidelity.
Strange passing strange, that these rapscal-
lion, aberrant, anarchistic, real cheap-dis-
honest - nawsty - f1fty-cent- dollar-yer-kn
Bryanites appear to meet, somehow or other,
every responsibility placed upon them, in
right manly style.-Sauk Center Avalanche.
The Republican campaign managers view
with alarm" the Homecoming of John Lind.
for John Lind is going to make the cam
paign altogether too lively for the other side.
