More than one of Mr.. Kenyon,s en-

PoPE's RECORD.
Not ono cent has been lost to the state

became bank examiner. Neither Gen
Pope nor any Of his examiners or as

| have any notes in the state banks. Since
| Gen. Pope's administration commenced
the confidence of the people has been re-
stored in the state banks and the bank
ers are correspondingly grateful to him.

his. an estimable gentleman, now dead
and not Gen. Pope, had use of. And a
big howl was made about it in the Re

Of Mankato investigated the charges and
by a unanimous resolution exonerated
OC44 L Ups from al charges OF fraud, and
expressed It's appreciation of his faithful
services. -
But where is Kenyon. and what has be-
come of him? He went with Tams Bixby
among the Indians. Bixby is the man
who So Claimed in his Red Wing Republican,
IN 1873, that Van SAINT was unfit for gov
ernor; Bixby IS now federal official
and drawing pay from the United States,
is devoting- his time to try and elect as
governor Kenyon's friend, Dodger Van
SAINT, who had meanwhile lodged into
Bixby's favor, while the Indians, who
Were thought to be easy were left
in charge Of Kenyon. But even they could
not stand him, and he has gone into
oblivion in Chicago-from which he ex-
poets to emerge If Van SAINT is elected.

elected Kenyon will be reappointed as
bank examiner. Gentlemen if you want
a repetition of Kenyons career of disas-
ter and disgrace vote for Van SAINT But
If you want continuance of Pope's fear
less and honest administration, and II
want to know that the money in every
savings bank and other state banks will
be perfectly safe, vote for John Lind
