The Martin County Sentinel says:
"Many OF ctr esteemed Republican
contemporaries have it in for Senator
KnNte Nelson because he broke his
agreement not to be a candidate
against Washburn." Let's see; let's
see; wasn't the editor of the Martin
County Sentinel a member of the legis-
lature when Senator Nelson was
elected? Didn't he make a speech in
which he referred to Senator Nelson
as a man of distinction against whom
it was useless to contend? Didn't be
vote for the election of Senator Mel
son? Wasn't he one of the number,
who, at the opening of the fight de-
clared that Nelson had agreed not tC
be a candidate and didn't he investi
gate the matter and find that no such
agreement had ever been made? Yes
to every one of these interrogations
Well isn'tit little late now to begir
talking about that agreement again?

BRO. DEAN, of the Owatonna Journal,
evidently desires to see a practical
campaign in 1900. In reply to some Of
the recent bowls which have gone up
he says: "Some one deplores the fact
that already there is some evidence
that the management of the next Re-
publican campaign will fall into the
hands of those who have before led the
party to victory. Do they want an
other se-as-yop-please campaign? One

LABOR COMMISSIONERS MCHALE,

LABOR COMMISSIONER MCHALE,
whose first duty it was to ascertain
that this country was going headlong
to the devil, skirmished around
through the outskirts fora few weeks,
and came back home forced to admit
that at no period of.the history Of this
State has the workingman enjoyed
such prices as at the present time.
There are less mon out of work, more
men at work, and better wages being
drawn than ever before. This fact
will probably not make a Republican
