SENATOR NELSON.

One of the strong men in the United
States senate is Senator Knute Nelson.
of Minnesota. He has taken an active
part in the work of that body and the
work which he has accomplished in
the five years he has been member of
that body is something remarkable
Senator Nelson stands as one of the
representative men of the west simple
in his ways, easily approached, a
strong man individually and POLITICAL
ly The people of Minnesota should not
lose sight of the fact throush the,
campaign now upon us that successor
to Senator Nelson is to be chosen by
the legislature which meets next JAN
uary, and should see to it that men
are elected thereto who will be favor
able to his reelection, and Blue Earth
county should see that a solid delega-
tion is sent to ST. Paul for that pur-
pose. We have stated that the SEN
ator is one of the strong men of the
senate. Strong because he always
keeps himself well informed upon the
great questions of the day, and is pos
sessed of a keen mind with which to
dissect them and when he speaks there
is no man who can put questions more
clearly before an audience than can
Senator Nelson. And while strong in
his Republicanism, the senator is no
narrow partisan. The broadminded-
ness which characterized him as gov
ernor of Minnesota, distinguishes him
as senator. He was one of the best
overnors Minnesota ever had Things
were not run in a narrow way under
him. His time was not employed in
building up syndicate for his personal
advantage. He looked beyond party
and was governor of the whole people.
He held his appointees responsible for
the duties which the law placed upon
them, and did not attempt to domi-
nate their actions in the least And so
as senator, while strong in his Repub-
licanism, he looks, in all legislative
AlNoUClc, w UuC NOlldI0 VI Uu0 WuOl0
people, and is not afraid to speak his
mind upon all subjects and point out
wrongs where he finds them.
AS campaigner, Senator Nelson has
few equals. He has clear, concise,
matter of-fact way in presenting a
| question that at once wins the atten-
ton Of his listener and impresses him
with his honesty of purpose. Nor is he
at all selfish IN his time to his party.
He is always ready when wanted and
his always been generous with his
time in campaign work. At the meet
ing of the Republican state committee
last week, Senator Nelson appeared be-
fore it and offered his services to tho
committee, stating that he would
speak every night with the exception
of Sundays, from the opening of the
, campaign to election day, and that
wherever trains run so that he could,
he would speak afternoons also. Few
men in the campaign will exert a
greater influence than he will, and be-
T, cause of this and his great ability as a
legislator he deserves well at the hands
; of his party.

A HOTEL DEAL.

who is anxious to erect a new hotel
The party is expected to arrive in the
city tomorrow to close the negotia-

depth of sixty-six feet. There is some
talk that the gentleman who desires
to erect new hotel may secure the
entire corner, from Second street to
the alley. This would give splendid
location for hotel.
A gentleman from Nicollet county,

DESIRE REEL ECTION.
Two Faithful Officials Who Deserve
Second Term.

Shelf Gerlich announces himself as
a candidate for a second term as
sheriff, on the Republican ticket. So
far, no opposition has developed to his
denomination, and he will probably 60
on the ticket by reclamation. If nomi-
mated, his election is foregone con-
clusion, as there is no more popular
official in the county than Sheriff
Gerlich. His heart is big enough to
take in the poor and unfortunate, and
even his "boarders'' speak kindly of
him. He has had but one term and
deserves another.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The view
which the Washington cabinet has
taken from the beginning, that with
the exception of Baron Won Ketreler the
legationers at Pekin were alive long
after the date which was said to have
marked their massacre, is being slowly
but surely confirmed. The most i'm.
portant contribution in support of our
governments position since the receipt
of the Conger autograph letter, repre-
senting the foreign ministers to have
been alive on July a. came from United
States Consul Fowler at Che Foo. The
letter referred to by the consul as com.
ing from the German legation at Pekin
is supposed here to have been an au-
tographic letter, and as such is abso-
lutely removed from the possibility of
fraud. The japanese report is also un-
derstood to have come down to the sea
without having passed through Chinese
hands. 1t was one Of the first results
of the private messenger system inau-
gurated by the commanders OF the al
lied forces. Taken in conjunction the
reports submitted by Mr.. Fowler added
overwhelmingly to the weight of testi-
mony in favor Of the existence of the
legationers.
