Columbus. Ohio. January 10.---Colonel T.
lc Campbell and others opposing Hanna ar
rived with Representative John c. Otis
from Cincinnati tonight. Several thousand
words OF sensational matter was soon after
| given out to the members OF tho press about
offers OF bribery 10 Representative Otis. II
was prepared by Colonel Campbell ana
makes two pages In a late extra addition
| that was gotten out In the night by the
| Evening Press, the organ OF the anti Hanna
coalition.
4 summary OF the long story, according
| To Colonel Cainpbell's statement, Is that
| Henry II. Boyce OF New York called on
| Colonel Campbell last Friday at the latters
office la Cincinnati and offered Camppeii
| $1,000 OF fee to get Representative OTIS
10 vote for Hanna. Campbell and Otis Ind
| frequent meetings with Boyce. who claimed
TO be representing j. PEerpont Morgan aud
Others who have interests in Ohio that
might be affected by legislation In the
State.
Colonel Campbell and Mr. Otis say they
determined TO give Boyce all the latitude
he wanted and set trap 10 catch him. Hol-
lenbeck who was said 10 be the middle
man. was also taken into their counsel, ac-
cording TO the statements Campbell aud
Otis say the money was produced and that
they are holding IL IN truW and that
fthlsuleul huSoTuluEiS Will NC ai<iuS "a '''N
house tomorrow.
Following the publication of this story
the following was given out from the Han
ia headquarters. The charge that Repre-
sentative OTIS has been offered brlbc by
rppresen natives OF senator hanua Is de-
bounced ut Senator Hannas headquarters
as not only false in every particular, but
characteristic of the campaign tricks ana
treachery that kursz, Allen, Meyers ana
their associates have carried on ever since
the senatorial question came up 1t mas
teen known 10 the republican managers ior
considerable time that this stnge play
Tor effect Was contemplated. IL is known
positively that Alien o. Meyers SAID sew
eral DAYS ego that he expected 10 sec some
member rise in his place On the day of the
first senatorial ballot and produce $4,000
or $4,000 which he would state had been
given him as a bribe To vote for Senator
Hanna This statement was made a week
or more ago. II is asserted that the propo-
siticn upon wtdch IL is intended To 5uild
the stage effect was made 10 Representa-
tive Otis only three days since. The fact
that the announcement of a programme OF
this sort was made long before the day on
which Il is charged the incident too2
place clearly shows that the whole story is
a pre- arranged one and simply malufac-
tured by Meyers and his associates for Of
feet. II is also known that "A newspaper
which fought Hanna from the time he
s,lned charge of the national campaign In
1886 dispatched a mysterious messenger 10
Ohio recently with large sums of money,
and II is not improbable that numerous
other bribery fakes viii he sprung from
day TO day IN the effort to play to fin
ish the desperate game begun months ago.

The president stands firmly in favor
of International himetallism as promised

The Democrats in the Second con-
gressional district are much in the
same fix that their brethren are over
in the first and up in the sixth dis
tricts where they have had to take up
with ex.Republicans, for their con-
gressional candidates, and in the
seventh, where they have swallowed
Populist. In this district, however,
they have gone little farther and
through the maneuvering of their con-
gresslOnal committee, their conven-
tion having tried to give them the
simon-pure article of Democracy and
failed, they have taken up with a
candidate who was once Republican
and then became Prohibitionist
and finally embraced Populism, but
whose Prohibition faith seems to be
the strongest part of him. Poor old
Democracy is indeed cast down and
forlorn in the second district.

TAKE THEM DOWN.
Booths Should be Removed as Soon as
Possible.

Each merchant is requested to take
down the booth in front of his place
of business at once. The plank be-
longs to the city, but the merchants
should store away the rest of the lum-
Der for use next year. Front street
does not present very inviting ap-
pearance.
It is proposed to have a meeting of
business men Thursday evening at
eight o'clock at the board of trade
room, to consider the matter of hold
ing street fair next year. Unless
there is a general desire shown on the
part of business men to have the fair,
the project will be dropped, as those
who have done the work this year do
not feel like doing the the whole work
another year.

saying that this was true. The Re-

referring to their charge that it's

it was little more solid on the

this was simply the result of progress.

would be no need of rewriting it as

COUNTY ATTORNEY.

An important Office in the conduct
of the business affairs of the county,
is that Of county attorney, where a
great expense may be saddled upon
the Taxpayers, If the greatest care is
not exercised. One of the best
county attorneys that Blue Earth
county ever had is the present incum-
bent, Thos. Hughes, who is candi-
date for re election upon the Republi.
can ticket. He has looked closely
after all matters connected with that
Office coming before him, making
careful investigation before acting in
any complaint where he was not
positive the county should take act
ion, and in this way many differences
between neighbors and others have
been amicably settled, and large sums
in costs thereby saved to the tax
payers. g Further than this, Mr..
Hughes has made a most enviable
reputation in the prosecution o. pub
lie business before the courts, and
under his administration few, if any,
cases have been put over because he
was not ready to try them when
called, and he has been very success
full in securing convictions. Such
careful and faithful performance of
duty merits recognition on the part
of the public by continuance ia

Hughes should be reelected by a

That is specious claim of the op-
position that there is nothing before
the people of Minneota this fall
but state issues. The election of
congressman is just as important
this year as it was in 1896.
The election of Democratic house
would prove just as disastrous to the
business interests, and to the welfare
of the laboring men, as would have
been the case then. A Democratic
house would give the depreciated
money hosts renewed hopes for 1900,
while Republican house would have
the effect of putting their danger
Gus illusions to sleep for all time
Minnesota ought to return a solid
Republican delegation to the low
er house, and if the Republi-
cans but get out at the polls
and do their duty, it will be done.
This was demonstrated in the Oregon
electi on. Not only is it vital to the
business interests OF Gne country, out
the administration should be sustain.
ed in its policy in the settlement of
the war with Spain. The, defeat of
the Republicans in November would
do more to embarrass negotiations
with Spain, than any move
that could possibly be made,
as it would be taken at once by the au.
thorities there, as well as by all Europe,
to mean that the administration was
not sustained, and that the people were
opposed to the war. For this reason
every effort should be made by the
people of Minnesota to do their share
by returning a solid delegation by
large majorities.
