ST. PAUL, Oct. 20, 1900.
John Lind will be reelected governor
Of Minnesota with plurality consld-
erably larger than that Of two years
ago. This is the universal sentiment
of the leaders Of the Fusion forces
throughout the state; and the only
point on which there is any disagree
ment at all is how much greater the
plurality is going to be.
Reports from every county Of the
state indicate constantly increasing
sentiment in favor of the present state
administration, the honesty and ell
cheney of which has been so apparent
and striking that people cannot help
but see in Honest" John Lind per-
sonal and unwavering friend.
The Republicans realize this, and
naturally do not feel particularly
slated. Their failure to work up much
enthusiasm On the state campaign is
probably due to the fact that they re-
alize the hopelcssness Of it. Even lead
Ing Republicans admit that their can"
didate for governor does not appeal to
the people, and will suffer an over
whelming defeat.
The Enterprise (Rep) Of Echo,
Mimi, says: "John Lind will have
10000 plurality in Minnesota. At least
that is the way/it looks now, and again
it looks as if the Republican state CEN
trail committee knew it, And then it
goes on and rips up the whole Repub-
ican campaign management, and Tams
Bixby in particular, and strews the
fragments thereof to the four winds.
The prospects are also good for carry
ing all of the state ticket, as it is ex-
pected that most Of those who vote for
Lind will vote the Fusion ticket
straight.
The railroad commissioners, whom
the Republican legislature hoped to get
rid of by making the positions elective,
will be elected on the strength Of the
record they have made, and the whole
state ticket in all it's parts is such a
strong and popular one, as to make it a
probable winner.
IA special from Fairmont, MIMI, to
the Minneapolis Journal (Rep.) says:
Ivan SAINT is popular, but is held by
some to have Ceen unfortunate in Sc.
tn h
paign in this county. Talk with the
average voter about the ticket and he
will say swell, we will support Nc
Kinley, but as to the balance Of the
ticket, we are going to vote for the man
who we think will serve the people
and there you are
The Pioneer Press (Rep.), in discuss
Ing the outlook in tho Second district,
says: Knox and Ringdahl of the
Democratic ticket will probably run a
little ahead Of the balance Of the ticket,
owing to the fact that portion of the
district is benefited from the reduction
of grain rates." 1t also admits that
NJ E. Matthews, the Democratic can.
didare, is personally popular.

Concerning the lumber trust, R. E.
Shepard, attorney for J. E. Easton,
the L.. Crosse millionaire, made the
statement the other day that the farmer
could well afford to pay 50 a thousand
extra for lumber this fall to build sheds
for hogs and cattle.'
It seems that Senators Mark HANNA
and Frye were treated to a chilling
frost down in Southern Minnesota.
Mr. II. T.. Koernor, Fusion candidate
for state treasurer, writes from New
Ulm: Il can not refrain from letting
you know how much enthusiasm the
coming Of Mark Hanna, Frye and Dol
liver created in this part Of the state.
I happened to be at Redwood Falls on
Tuesday morning, from which point
the Northwestern line ran a special ex.
oursion train at reduced rates to the
Hanna meeting at Tracy. The actual
number of tickets sold at Redwood
Falls was one, and the actual
number Of persons availing themselves
OF the opportunity Of seeing and hear
ing the famous Hanna, from the Repub
lican city Of Redwood Falls, was two
besides the "ticket purchaser" above
mentioned, viz, newspaper man and
some other gentleman, both riding on
passes. I learned later on thai anothe,
lone passenger was added at Sleepy
Eye. Now what do you think abou,
this for enthusiasm in Republican
community"
A letter from Mankato says: ''Th<
Hanna meeting was colder than the
frost Of this morning. The crowd wal
one-third less than the Bryan meeting
and another interesting fact in our be-
half was that there were more thar
twice as many farmers in from the
country to hear Bryan as there were t
hear Hanna. There are more working
men coming over to Bryan every day.
Another letter from Mankato enclose,
a copy Of the speeches of Senators Frye
and Hanna, and adds: 1.-The repor
gives but poor idea Of what farce
comedy it was. During Frye's and alst
during Hanna's speech, the crowd hat
