POLITICAL Wrinkles.

POLITICAL Wrinkles.
When Feig transferred his political aspiru-
tions into the land Of the Chippewas, he is said
to have annOinted u successor in KandiyOhi
county. On the quiet the word has passed
around, and the Feigites feel thatif they could
land this nomination it would be q balm to the
wounds incurred in the crawling" they have
been compelled to do in order to restore char
mony."
We resented the imputatiOn that the TRI-
BUNE was receiving financial aid from the
democratic state committee. We have not
received one dollar from that source and 1t
angered us to see the falsehood repeated But
we realize now that we cannot expect better
treatment Brother Crosby simply judged us
by himself. He cannot see why we should
hesitate to take money if offered which he
would be glad to take il offered to himself.
This statement from the last Gazette indicates
as much: There is no occasion for such q
childish exhibition of temper. Newspaper
organs have to be creased sometimes. And
then we remembered who was treasurer of
the G. O. p. committee four years ago and how
he forgot to file the statement required by
law.
Last fall a number OF the friends OF the TRI-
BUNE in the county, men who appreciate the
value to the community OF o newspaper that
dares to tell the truth, went down into their
pockets and paid from one to five dollars each
to have the TRIBUNE sent to friends whom
they wanted should read the TRIBUNE. in
sending the papers to the parties paid for we
mailed a circular letter to each notifying them
of the fact that the paper had been paid for,
that we hoped they would become interested
in the same and decide to keep the paper
when the year had expired, etc. Now 1t
seems that members of the county gang had
procured one OF these letters. During six long
months they have held onto their prize, and
last week they sprung the "sensation' in the
Gazette. They added this miserable sneaking
comment:
Query: who is the friend who is 30 liberal
with his dollars: Some nave guessed that the
Democratic State ceutral committee tapped
its barrel in order that it's valiant champion
might be more widely distributed. II the
guess is good then "Sterngucker' was not so
far out of the way in limiting that ROslng was
helping out on that press: If the guess is on,
then it would be interesting to know who is so
good and so flush as to help out the boys to the
extent OF, say, S4OO.

Had we known that any mortal man was Suf-
fering pangs of uncertainty all this time, we
would have been glad to have relieved them
before Next time your curiosity as to how
the TRIBUNE is managed gets control of you
come straight to US for relief, and do not in
dulge in such dirty little :guesses.
One of our regular Irving correspondents Is
authority for the statement that Irving win
have three candidates for the peoples nOmi-
dation for county superintendent of schools,
viz: E. j. Larson, Gustave A. Erixon, and Jud-
son Shaw. We have also heard the names OF
w. " Olson of GennesSee Chris ROsenmeier
OF Lake Lillian, and P. r. Sletten of Willmar
mentioned as possibilities, but do not know in
any case that the parties have authorized their
friends to use their names

Charley johnson was pleased to take our
mention of his candidacy as an a1ront We
are sorry for Charley. He has many friends,
and SOME OF HIS BEST FRIENDS disapprove
very much of his candidacy under the auspices
of the crowd he is in. Now, this Is no "slur,'
but the plain, unvarnished truth,
