HE'S A DEMOCRAT NOW.

The supporters of.John Lind will
find that he has developed a weak
ness which BODIES i'll to his success in
Minnesota this year or any yearhere-
after. It is his birth into ull-fedged
and incorporating Democracy. It
tears down the barbados. behind
which. they fought before, with an
equivocal flag flying above them. 1t
renders it impossible to appeal to the
voter to disregard party ties and vote
for John Lind as man himself i'm
patient of and above them. In a
word, it destroys the chief element of
strength in the previous campaigns
of Governor Lind. We are Of the
opinion that this handicap will be
felt more and more seriously, from
now. until the day of election. Red

CAPT. VAN SAINT.

Wherever he has gone, and he has
canvassed the state thoroughly, Capt.
Sam. r. Van SAINT is arousing an en-
thusiasm in his own behalf which is
indicative Of his election by large
majority. Two years ago an'accident
happened in political circles. John
Lind alone of all the fusion candidates
was elected. Thousands of Republic
ans refrained from voting, and other
thousands argued that it was an off
year" anyway, and if Mr.. Lind could
accomplish all he promised in the
matter of improved wheat grades and
prices it might be we'll to gives him a
term. He was elected. The i'm
'provement did not materialize. In
the nature of things it could not.
The experiment was a failure, and
will not be repeated. Minnesota is
Republican by very large majority,
and this year it will not be content to
express it's republicanisn upon the
national issues only. It will elect
Van SAINT it's governor.
