THE INTERNATIONAL VOTE

The full official figures of the vote
cast for Mr. Eustis and Mr.. Lind for
governor, show that Mr.. Eustis received
III, 1877 votes, and Mr.. Lind 131, 1859,
giving Mr.. Lind majority of co.
He also has majority over all, but
just what its size will be is not yet
known, as the full vote on the Prohi-
bition, Socialist, and Mid-road candi-
dates is not in yet, some ten counties
missing in the total On all of the
other state officers the vote of seven to
eight counties are missing. AS return
ed, however, the result shows a Re-
publican majority of %, 915 for l.. A.
Smith for Lieut. governor, Ale for
Robt. G. Dunn, for auditor; Al, 15S for
August Koerner for treasurer, and 49,
$40 for Albert Berg for secretary of
the state; W. B. Douglass receives 49,
43O majority for attorney general, and
Oar Reese, 3S,053 for clerk of the
supreme court. The full returns will
probably increase these figures slightly.
Seventy five of the eighty two counties
of the state, give John A. Loveley a
lead of e6, 952 oyer Judge CAVITY. The
contest between Judge CAVITY and G. L..
Lewis in these counties was rather
close, Lewis leading by 1856. The full
vote will not cut this much.
The full Republican and Demo-Pop
vote on governor, shows curious fall
ling off from the total vote of those
parties in 1894. In 1894, Knute Nelson
received 147,943 votes, and the COM
bined Democratic-Populist vote was
141, Ala. In that year, Nelson's vote
was 1924 greater than Lind's vote this
year. The total vote of these parties
on governor that year was 2S9, AT,
against 242, 1866 this year, showing a
falling off of 80, 1914 votes this year,
compared with the vote then. The
Republican vote in 1894 was 36, 746
greater than it was this year.

1T MAY BE McCLEARY

IA Washington dispatch in last even
ing's st Paul Dispatch, says:
The official count in the Third Mas
sachusetts districts, shows that Con-
gresham Joseph Walker, chairman of
the committee on banking and cur
rency in the house, has been defeated
There will be a lively contest for this
position in the fifty-six congress The
committee was always at war when
Walker was at its head, and it was next
to impossible to report any bills favor
ably. The McCleary bill, so called,
was not submitted to the house without
the vigorous opposition of Chairman
Walker, who submitted long minority
report.
There was greal deal of pickering
over the McCleary bill and Fowler, of
New Jersey, who was jealous of the
fame of the Minnesota man, did all
possible from haying the bill taken up
and considered. McCleary exposed
Fowler in the house and alleged that he
had gone to Democratic papers and
given away committee secrets in order
to create breach among Republican
members.
1t is believed that McCleary stands a
good show to become chairman, but it
is hard to tell what Speaker Reed will
do. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, comes
before either McCleary or Fowler as
ranking member, and according to
precedent would become chairman
However, there is a prospect now.
that Mr. Reed will not have the naming
of the committee of the fifty sixth con-
gress. In that event the craftsmanship
is certain to go to Western man, and
McCleary would be certain of selection.

The Popocrats out in Nebraska have
been claiming that their small ma
jority was due to the fact Of the light
vote cast. AS matter of fact the
total vote OF the state as shown by
the official returns, is only about 1000
less than last year, when they carried
it by majority of some 10000 or
more. The Republican vote increased
some 1900 over last year, while the
Popocratic vote fell off over 5000.
There is some other reason in the air
than light vote, and the Popocrats
might as well face it as to beat around
the bush.

VARIOUS OPINIONS.
NO SENATORIAL CONTEST.


st. Cloud Journal Press:
For once there will be ne senatorial
contest at st. Paul this winter. The
people have instructed the senators and
representatives to return c. K. Davis to-

Madela Messenger:
Hon. Gilbert Gutterson received the,
largest number of votes of any legis-
lative candidate in Blue Earth county.
Mr.. Gutterson will be a candidate for
speaker of the house this winter, and
we believe will be backed by all the
members from the Second district, and
if so, that will insure his election.

Fairmont News:
If John Lind fails to reduce the
freight on wheat one half, raise the
prices from 10 to 25 cents he will have
been elected in vain.
WOULD HAVE INCREASED THE ELEc-
TORAL VOTE.
Winona Republican:
On the basis of this years poll, the
Republican majority in the electoral
college would have been far greater
than that of 1896. and that was big
enough for all practical purposes This.
Enthusiastically shows the drift of senti-
ment for 1900. From present indi-
cations, the Republican preponderance
in the electoral college in that year
may be as great as it was when Grant
had his walk over in the Greeley can
vass of 1872

dorsement IN our recent election Had

THEY WANT SOMETHING.
Men Who Would Like q Job Under the
New Administration.

Blue Earth county Democrats are
not at all backward about making
their desire to serve the people in an
official capacity known. If the Popu-
lists expect to share in the offices
they will have to get move on them
selves. Already there are threecan
didates for deputy oil inspector, an
Office now held by Gus Tubarg. John
d. Duane, editor of the Ledger, and D.
p Hayes, the stone quarryman, are
out and out candidates, while Geo.
Traub, editor of the Post, is said to
also coRet the appointment.
Robt. Nathan, who was so deeply
showed under by Benz. Bangerter Jr.
in the recent election. would like to
serve his fellow man as member Of
the state dairy department.. Mr..
Malzahn g home is at Good Thunder.
John Thompson, of Mankato town
ship, would also like a position in the
dairy department..
Sam Granger, a we'll known young
man Of Amboy, desires an appoint
ment in the state grain inspection de-
partment.
On the Republican side there are
one or two who would like preferment.
j. G. Fowler desires the position of
assistant secretary of the senate, and
has many endorsements for the posi-
tion. S. W. Burgess is also under
stood to be casting longing eyes in
the direction of St. Paul, but it is not
yet known in what official capacity he
would like to serve.
1t is said that Gen. E. NJ. Pope is
slated for the appointment as state
bank examiner, as soon as Mr.. Lind
assumes the gubernatorial toga.
Aid. Zimmerman, who is member
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee, could probably have an sp-
pointment for the asking, but lie
states that there is no office that he
desires. He will content himself with
helping others to get served.

ON the Curb.

City Enginnnr Thompson calls at
tention to "a matter of much In
terest to the citizens Of Mankato.
South Bend and vicinity. He says:
"The advertisement of the contem-
plated sale of the timber in South
Bend cemetery, that outside of the
plated portion. by South bend town.
ship. marks the beginning of the de-
struction of one of natures beauty
spots. This tract embraces all Of
Minneopa creek from point just be-
low the falls, nearly down to the iron
bridge on the New Ulm road, and
taken in connection with Minneopa
Falls constitutes some of the most
picturesque scenery in Blue Earth
county"
Mr.. Thompson suggests that the
county or township acquire the falls,
creek and bluffs as public park. The
land could be of no use for any other
purpose, and with the timber on it
would make an ideal park. This is
a matter that ought to be given con-
sideration before the timber has been
destroyed.
Some of the attorneys have dis
covered that Thanksgiving is not a
national holiday. Referee Flittie set
a hearing for Nov. oath, not thinking
that Thanksgiving would fall on that
day, and the question arose whether
an adjournment would not be neces
sary. After looking the matter up,
it was his opinion as well as that of a
Minneapolis attorney who is interest
ed in the case, that the day is not a
national holiday and therefore does
not interfere with the transaction Of
business of the federal court.
The fact that the council saw fit to
award the contract for heating the
new fire station to Pond & Hasey, of
Minneapolis, in preference to a home
company, has caused considerable
comment. Pond & Hasey's bid was
81, 1865, while E. Q. Wickersham, the
next lowest bidder, offered to do the
work for S1,329. 1t is argued that
even if the cost was greater a home
company should have had the prefer
ence, as all of the money expended
would then be kept in the city. On
the other hand, the aldermen main
tain that Pond & Hasey's proposition
calls for a larger boiler and more
rat iation. This fact remains: that
M ankato contractors feel pretty sore
when they go to some town and make
the lowest bid on any piece of work
and then are turned down for home
contractor. The rule works both
ways, and if outside contractors, after
being asked to bid, were not given a
show, our home contractors could not
complain of such treatment else
where. It is probable that Mankato
contractors bid on work in other
towns ten times to once where out.
side contractors bid on work in Man

tractors bring home good maDy'jobs,
