lie devoted considerable portion OF
his speech to the battleship Maine and
the heroism Of the Thirteenth Mime
sofa at Manila. The rest was an at
tack on Chairman Rosing who, he said,
was resorting to unfair means to deter
voters from champiOning the cause Of
the Republican ticket.
La Kandiyohi county the reform
forces are banding together better than
they ever did before, and in spite Of
Henry Feig's hopefulness for the Re-
publican cause, as quoted in these
columns a few days ago, the prospects
are in fact strongly in favor of Demo-
cratic success in that section of the
state.

AS was expected, Congressman Stew
h,oc oI,ao %
John w. Willis to meet him in a joint
debate on the issues of the campaign.
1t has all along been suspected that
Mr.. Stevens was afraid to engage in
such a forensic meeting. He pleads
previous arrangements which will pre-
vent him from taking part in such a
debate. Chairman Yanisih's letter in
declining the challan2e says: Reply
ing to your favor of 5th inst, the Re-
publican congressional committee re-
greet exceedingly that your committee
and the Democratic candidate for con-
gresS did not make their wishes known
with reference to a joint debate ear

plans Of our comnitte and of the Re-
publican candidate had been so far adj
vanced as to make 1t impossible to
change them"

was defeated.
Douglas county is to be the scene of
very interesting political mix-up this

400 Republican, but last year John Lind
! carried it by fourteen votes. He seems
| to be not less popular this time than

again carry 1T, and by a larger plural

Mr.. Reese predicts that Eddy will be
elected by larger majority than he
was two years ago, although he main
