This action is warranted by the cir

And now the st. Paul Dispatch, an
open opponent of VanSant for Coy
ernor, is opposing the nomination of G.
X. Davis by the Republican convention
for United States Senator. While
such nomination at a convention is
not necessity, don't it look little bit
as though the old Merriam Bixby ma
chine wants to defeat both VanSant
and Davis?

McCLEARY'S ABORTION.
Readers of The GAZETTE receiving
their mail at points west of here on
the Minneapolis & st. Louis railway,
did not receive their GAzErrEs of last
week until Saturday.
The papers were placed in the post
Office at this place, between 8 and $50
o'clock last Thursday morning, as has
been the custom ever since the new
management took charge of the paper.
The mail was made up by ex-Post-
master Laird, all of the packages for
towns on the west bound St. Louis be-
ing placed in one sack.
The mail wagon called for the mail
at one o'clock Thursday. George B.
Hughes, the. postmaster, handed out
the other sacks, but carelessly, negli-
gently orlcriminally, failed to turn ov-
or the sack containing the issue of this
paper for that train.
On Friday the same act was repeat
ed. It was a.criminal act of the deep
est dye.
On Saturday, together with the edi-
ton of Hughes paper for that day,
these papers we're sent on their destin-
alton.
The issue OF The GAZETTE for last
Thursday contained important tele-
graph news, in advance of the daily
papers. 1t was the desire to get this
news to readers, before the St. Paul
and Minneapolis papers reached there,
but owing to the postal abortion of j.
T. McCleary, the representative in
congress from this district, these pa
pers were. held in the postoAice at this
place for two full days.
We thank our western subscrib-
ers for notifying us of the failure to
receive their papers on schedule time,
and hope that any future criminal acts
of this kind will be brought to our no.
tice. It gave us chance for an investi-
cation, and will do so in the future.
On last Thursday, also, this lazy
fellow neglected to lock a mail sack
containing important United States
mail matter, and it became necessary
to return the sack for the government
lock.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
modest, disinterested and unselfish.
He would have people believe all this.
Like the fatuous ostrich he believes he
can conceal himself by hiding his head
in the sand. Baker forgets that those
long legs which were ever racing after
the Offices, that lean and hungry belly
that never can be satisfied unless it is
filled with fodder from the public crib;
those far-reaching arms and prehensile
claws that tentacle-like we're ever out
stretched, waving and grasping for
the fat jobs, remain exposed to the
public gaze.
When Jim Baker no longer bankers
for an Office and is no longer ambi-
tious for lucrative public berth, he
will be in another sphere, member of
chat i'll band of angels mixed, who
nor rebellious proved, nor yet true to
God, but for themselves were only"
The life of General James H. Baker
has been one perennial round of Office
seeking and Office holding and at his
time of life it would be easier for the
leopard to change it's spots than for
him to change his life's occupation.
Look at his record in Minnesota.
Baker is no chicken. He, no doubt,
held many Offices before he came to
this State, but he started soon after
his arrival in Minnesota to run for Of
fee and in 1860 he was elected Secre-
tary of State. The war distracted his
attention for time and then he re-
sumed the chase and was elected Rail
road Commissioner and served for
three years. Then he reached out for
Federal position and served as U. S.
Surveyor General for four years from
April II, 1875, to April 10, 1879. Next
he was appointed Railroad Commits
sioner by Governor Hubbard and held
that Office for two years.
Then be wanted Governor McGill
to reappoint him and when McGill re-
fused to pledge himself Gen. James
H. Baker went into the Republican
State convention with the avowed pur-
pose of preventing the denomination
of Governor McGill for second term.
He associated himself with Halvor
Stevenson, E. G. Long and Stanford
Newell, as the managers of William R.
Merriam, and two of the understrap-
pers of the Merriem workers we're L.
P. Hunt and Tams Bixby. With the
aid of these gentlemen Baker was able
to accomplish his revenge on Gov.
McGill, by whose defeat at that time
the Republican party of Minnesota re-
ceived most disastrous and telling !
blow from the effects of which it has
scarcely recovered. The soreness and
chagrin resulting from Jim Bakers
efforts at that time still linger and
rankle in the hearts and minds of
those who received such unmerited
treatment, and it would be worth
while to ascertain how they have re-
garded the strutting and mounting of
Baker. recently, at the Mankato
Racheverein.
And after Baker had disposed of A.
r. McGill and sowed the seeds of bit
ter discord in the Republican party,
Gov. Merriam followed McGill's ex-
ample and refused to appoint him
Railroad Commissioner. Then it fol
