BRYAN AND LIND.

BRY AN AND LIND.
The Joint Campaign Opening, National
and State.
st. Paul, Sept. "a, 1900.
At this writing it is not possible to
give the particulars of the coming OF
Mr.. Bryan to this state, yet enough is
known to make it certain that in the
three days that he will be in the state
he will cover more of its territory than
he has ever been able to do before. A
glance at the proposed route will show
this. 1t will also reveal that in the
grand sweep he will make, he will
reach every congressional district in
the state. r
Coming in at Crookston on Satur-
day, Sept. Goth, he will cross the en-
tire Seventh district and also the Sixth
in going to Duluth, where he will
spend the Sabbath, Sept. 80, in abso-
lutte rest. Monday morning, Oct. 1, he
will pass southwark through the rest
of the Sixth district into the Fourth.
via Saltwater, to st. Paul for the first
Of his Twin City double meetings.
The Fifth district (Hennepin county,
is of course covered by his Exposition
meeting, Minneapolis, the same even
ing. Tuesday morning he will go
through the Third district, to Mankato
in the Second and pass out of the lat
ter to and through the First ut Wi
mona.
That no possible circumstances
could develop n grander sweep than
the one our great leaders will make On
this trip, in the outpouring of the peo-
pie and enthusiasm, is certain. 1t is
in response to a general demand that
Governor Lind will participate in the
trip. 1t will be one grand triumpha1
march from start to finish. Approx
mately thirty counties of the state
will be touched in the Bryan and Lind
itinerary, and half as many more lie
close to the line of march; which is
to say that the people of more than
one-half of the total of eighty three
counties in the state will have an op>
portunity to see and hear these great
leaders and defenders of the common
people. Thousands and thousands will
thus have an opportunity to greet Mr..
Bryan who have not hitherto had that
privilege, although he has several
times been in the state.
While the Bryan coming will en-
phasize the national campaign open
ing, the general campaign is now well
on in Minnesota. No anti-Republican
campaign has ever even approached
that which the Reform forces are put
ting up at the st. Paul headquarters.
The alliance made on the state ticket,
uniting all the Reform forces, is being
carried out in the campaign manage
ment. The Peoples party state com,
mittee, Victor q. Lawson, chairman, is
working in complete harmony with the
Democratic committee. Both commit
tees have distributed the bulk of their
campaign literature and are arranging
meetings.
We stop the press to state that ac-
cording to the best information OBJ
tainable the Republican press bureau
has passed an issue, without uttcring
a single glaring falsehoof or perjury
on Governor Lind. Why this 'rectl-

grew writes it was mostly wind.
While Hanna is appealing for cash
to re-elect him as national boss, his
SON is being sued for the support of
his children by a divorced wife.
Under Governor Lind's appeal for
aid for the Galveston sufferers, the
Twin Cities will probably send $780,
600. Minnesota's4 heart is always in
the right place.
In 4 recent conversation, Architect
Gilbert, who directs the construction
of the new capitol, expressed the hope
that he would see it completed in time
for Governor Lind to occupy it before
tile close of his second term. The best
capitol for the best governor is I'M
doubtedly the way he looks at it.
Speaking of the new capitol, Archl-
tect Gilbert has plans for the improve
ment of the front grounds and ap-
proaches, which, if carried out, will
meet the criticism often expressed,
that the grounds in front are too small
or that the building should have been
located further back.
