Alexandria, as well as some, other

more and better walks than any town

walk to cause warm commentator
of all visitors. The plan, as I have
before stated, is that the owner pays
|two-thirds Of the cost, which only
about equals a good plank walk,
and the city pays one-third. The

permanent walk without much ex-

Investment by getting rid offrequent

I employ party machinery in Sc.

ssbut we are confident that the
results will be discouraging to
the present Democratic promo
ters as was the outcome of a
previous partisan movement to
the Republicans who engaged
in about the same kind of an en-
,terprise many years ago. The
emphatic disapproval that the
people placed on the effort of
Republican politicians to defeat
the Democratic judge, Hon. l..
u. Baxter, in 1886, discouraged
partisan movements in the judi
a-ci,l matter Tor many years, and
the Democrats who are now
shaping the NOV eme1t against
Judge Searle will receive an en-
phatic rebuke if the effort ever
gets as far as the polls.
Judge Baxter was appointed
by a Republican governor, the
other judge in the district being
a Republican. When the cam
paign of 1885 opened some Re-
publicans decided to place a
Republican candidate against
Baxter, and J. P. Williams, of
Fergus Falls, was selected.
There was no popular demand
for a change, any more than
there is now. The people were
satisfied with Judge Baxter, as
they are: now with Searle. II The
district was Republican but
Judge Baxter was reelected by

was in the field, and if any Re-
publican nominations had been
made, the Transcript would Ger.
tainly have supported Baxter.
And at this time some of the
leading Democratic newspapers
in the district oppose any Demo
cratic nominations, and will
i support Judge Searle regardless
of any political arrangements
that are made to oppose him.
I Judge Searle is generally
