Eddy is fast losing votes in this vicinity,
and we predict defeat for him in Traverse
county.-Beardsley News.
The Democrats are attempting to make
political capital out Of the alleged state
ment of Eustis that he would clean out the
state house from the cellar to the Goddess Of
Liberty that surmounts the dome. Well, that
statement will not injure him with those
who have lost the savings Of lifetime in
some of the defunct state banks Of the Twin
Cities. There are some people who think
some of the departments would stand a lit
tie shaking up.-Aitkin Age (RepD.
Judges Mitchell and Canty are deservedly
popular, and will pol very large Repubu-
can vote. They have been tried and not
found wanting, and the people viii lose moth
ing by retaining them.-Aitkn Age (Rep).
Let the Republican press explain to the
farmers of the state how they were benefited
by the state prison board turning over to
dealers the product of the Irvine plant, n
der which said dealers were enabled to make
a profit Of 100 per cent on such product in
buying the twine for 6la cents per pound
and selling it to the farmers for II to II
cents. Let them explain the action of the
state grain inspectors at Duluth and Mime
apolis in grading wheat that fully answers
the description of No. 1 northern as No. 2,
thereby stealing five cents per bushel from
the farmers.-Moorhead Daily News.
There could be no more pitiable spectacle
than that of John Sherman, with long record
Of splendid service to his country, now used
as a mere tool with every weakness of age
played on remorselessly by INSCRIPTIONS pol
itic:ans. 1t is a disgrace to humanity that
there should be ghouls who, for personal or
party purposes, would drag this old man from
a kind seclusion and exhibit his waning pow
ers to the derision of the multitude 1t is a
lasting shame to journalism that 1T should
have lent itself to this cruel and disgusting
exhibition.-Red Wing Republican.
Just as an instance of the broadening of the
scale along other than commercial, financial
or industrial lines, and an indication that
there Is improvement everywhere since the
administration changed, we may mention that
three men have already been shot in the
Adirondacks in mistake for deer, and the sea-
son not yet opened, as against twelve for the
whole Of last year. That Dngley bill Is
wonderful measure.-Morris Sun
To q man UP a tree 1t looks as If William
Henry Eustis and his friends had set out to
knife auditor Dunn. Bob has always been
q dyed-in-the-wool radical Republican, and
Eustis boomer, and, to say the least,
Eustis and his organs are unkind. Berg, the
only scandinavian the Republican ticket,
is also q ''mafRed man." Let the good work
proceed.-Milaca Times. -
Hosts OF Republican voters have had their
minds made up since long before the state
convention that they wanted to vote for that
Democrat, Mitchell and they're going to- in
spite of everything. Fact is, they can't be
blamed. Judge Mitchell is everywhere rec
ognized as one of the brightest ablest judi
clal minds in the country, and it would be
a stigma to Minnesota's progressiveness to
defeat him.-Pine Co. Courier (Rep).
The St. Paul b is building up its
circulation again in the Northwest by favor
ing Lind.-Grand Forks Plaindealer.
