decline, and that the upward movement
would begin again today or tomorrow.

sumption OF the boom. The decline a the
low figures this morning has varied from
one to eleven points, quite smart reac-
ton in a pronouncedly bull market. 1t
seems certain that before the end of tne
week the buying Will have become aggres
sive again. Money is still held al around
6 per cent. but the Street fears Little fIom

1898 to elect Republican governor. Is
it not the duty of the Republicans of
Minnesota to profit by such experience?
1t is not the purpose of this article to
belittle any good Republican o, can
didate in Hennepin county-far from
it-but these are conditions that must
be looked square in the face. They
cannot be ignored eve cannot go be
hind the returns" In 1898 John Lind
Democrat. received 10000 plurality in
the state. OF this number the first,
second and third congressional districts
together furnished less than (70O) seven
hundred, and the other four furnished
the $500. The first district alone
gave Eustis over 5000 plurality. In
deed it is the banner Republican dis
tricJ in the state. 1t is loyal to Re.
publican principles and to Republican
candidates and is always solid Repub-
lican. The Republicans of the state of
Minnesota have reason to be proud of
the first district for being foremost in
the battle of ballots. Where is the
Republican in the state of Minnesota,
who will not concede to the first dis.
trict the honor of furnishing the can
didate for governor? In the Republi-
can state convention in 1896, after the
nomination of Hon. D. M Clough,
Capt. S. R. Van SAINT made the state
ment that he thought he was running
for governor but found that he was
only walking" In 1898 he got into a
trot, and III 1900 he is going to run and
win. Though an aspirant for the GOV.

was loyal to his party and did all in his
power for the success of his competitor
The First and Second districts will

will wheel into line and il
Hennepin will do justice to the
