Page Norris deserves as much and
Charley Towne as little, at the hands
of this district as they respectfully re-
ceived two years ago. Since that
time Morris has shown himself to be
a warm friend and an intelligent repre-
sentative of the district, while at the
same time Towne has been galloping
over the country, stirring up rows and
promoting shooting scrrpes out in
Colorado and other partially civilized
communities of the West. Morris
will make a better representative from
1899 TO 1901 then he made from 1897 to
1899, for he will be member of the
majority party and can get better re-
cognition for the needs of his district.
We think there need be no apprhen-
sion as to the results in this district,
though, of course, there will be hard
fight, and Mr.. Morris friends should
overlook no opportunity to promote
his interests. Union.

WILLIAM HENRY EIysr1s

1t Is astonishing to what disreput-

canvass will descend. William Henry
Eustis. during all his years of resi-
dence in MINES ota has had reputa-
ton both personal and political.
which was universally recognized as
above reproach- AS soon as he was
nominated for governor, the allied
forces open up their mud batteries for
all onslaught, and as is so often the
case, overload their guns to the burst
ing point, and themselves receive the
bulk of the charge.
First, Mr.. Eustls was permeated
with an ingrained hatred for the old
soldier, and yet it appears that he
appointed more grand army men to
office while mayor of Minneapolis
than enter the administration which
preceded or followed his. Has given
his time and talent to the cause of the
old soldier, speaking on Memorial
day year after year, and writing
countless letters in behalf of pensions
to the department and the congress-
men.
Second, he was responsible for all
the frauds perpetrated by one Menage,
who was manager OF the Guaranty
Loan Co. of Minneapolis, and now it

CONCENTRATES SPLEEN.

The St. Cloud Times will never for
give Congressman Morris for existing
in this year of grace 1898, any more
than it could forgive Towne in 1894
To be sure it has not worked itself up
yet to the fine frenzy of four years ago,
when coarse personal abuse was its
chiefest argument everybody remem-
bers the choice billingsgate explosives
it applied to Mr.. Towne then-but it is
progressing rapidly in that direction.
''Damphool, "s'Little Page, and the
'Little Rebel" are the extremes
reached in that direction SO far, but
three weeks yet remain. 1t has time
yet to strike its level and may be de-
pended upon to do it. To be sure its
methods of campaigning have not
been brilliantly successful in the past,
but as moulder OF public opinion it
hopes to bring its readers down to its
own level. By the way, isn't it little
bit late for the Times to wave the
''bloody shirt and seek to make a
political point of the fact that Con-

develops beyond dispute that he never
owned a dollar of the stock OF the
company or in any way had to DO
with the management of the concern.
e. Third, he has persistently abused,
maligned and prosecuted the Swedish
people of Minnesota-this charge
would never have been made were his
opponent not Swede, and seeks to
secure votes on national prejudice
but it falls fat in view of the fact that
,sr. Eustis has in his personal employ
more Swedes than any other national
sity, and he employs great many men.
It makes one very weary OF the
methods of the fusionists. They nom

only in common with vast majority
of the people of Minnesota, and &c
which he has no special nor exclusive
