A Forgotten Heroine.

Worthily worn, the gaudytrappings
of war have ever won feminine hearts.
In recording the great services to our
country of an almost forgotten Revo-
lutionary heroine, writer has
brought to light some remarkable
romances. The heroine, tall, cul-
tured, high-born, joined the CONT
mental army in the uniform Of man
and served three years with conspicu-
Gus bravery. Her heroism brought
her preferment and into contact with
the best people of the Colonies, and at
all the balls and other social gather
ings she was the lion Tor lioness).
The girls adored the brave soldier,
confessed their love, and showered
her with presents, 1.-THE Girl Who
Fought in the Revolution will be a

Journal. 1t is a record of facts far
stranger than fiction.

The Republican County Con-
vention for the nomination Of a
county ticket and also for the Sc
lection of fl delegates for the
State Convention at ST. Paul on

BEGINNING TO BOIL.

WITH the call for the County
Convention, the opening Of the
political season. hostilities is be-
gun. Candidates are numerous,
but still when former years are
taken into consideration, the
number Of aspirants is small.
From present indications the fight
at the convention and at the prim-
aries will be one of the hottest had
in many years, owing to the popu-
larity of the candidates willing to
be the sacrificed @ on the Repub-
lican ticket.
By far the hardest battle is ex-
pected over the nomination for
sheriff, in fact this nomination is
expected to cast several shadows
athwart the horizon. W. G.. Sar-
gent, present incumbent, and A.
p. Cook, county superintendent of
the poor are avowed candidates,
while Swan Hanson is a possible
third. Between Cook and Sar-
gent, the question has gotten to
be one OF popularity. Cook
claims the Duluth delegates while
Sargent says he will secure con-
siderable delegation from the city
and a nominating representation
from the ranges. We believe
ourselves, that if there are no
political deals or trades made,
Sargent will have the nomina-
ton.
Odin Halden. present incumbent
of the auditors Office, and the
best auditor the county has ever
had, is again candidate for re-
nomination. j. E. Cooley, who
has presided over the destinies of
the st. Louis County Agricultur-
al Society as secretary, is after
Halden's sit. Mr.. Halden has
worked hard during his incumb-
ency in pelfecting q system in
the office whereby he has at all
times been able and:willing to as
sist those having business with
the auditor, an innovation which

Judgment of the voters all oyer
the state approves today the policy
contained in the Porto Rican act.
We have given good government
to the island. We have also open
ed the way to absolute free trade
as soon as the people Of Porto
Rico choose to provide revenue
for themselves. There is abso-
lutely no room there for an issue,
nor can one find the least dissatis
faction anywhere with the policy
settled upon by the party. The
man who thinks that the Repub-
lican party will lose hundred
votes in November on account OF

Glad when we consider them as
DEMOCRATS, Populists, silver Re
publicans and other political riff
raft, to see what o lot of ammuni-
ton they are preparing to waste
in the fall campaign in this state,
SAYS one of our contemporaries.
A number of circumstances have
combined to make the rainbow
chasers actually believe that there
is possibility of success for them
in Minnesota this year. Natur-
ally, they are making the most OF
this with the gentlemen at the
east who furnish the sinews of
war, and with the state Office hold
ers who are expected to offer lib
eral contributions out of their
salaries. AS a consequence, 1t
seems likely that there will be a
lively campaign in Minnesota, and
that the fusionists will keep right
on shouting until they 90 down in
November so suddenly that they
will never know what hit them.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-06-01

One reason for The present
exuberance of the Democrats in
this state is that they elected q
governor two years ago. This in
inspires the thoughtless with a be-
lief that they can do it again.
They do not consider that it was an
off year in politics; that thousands
of people had a curiosity to see
what kind of governor John Lind
would make: that there was a
state campaign in which many
mistakes were made by the Re
publicans, rand not the greatest
harmony prevailed. All of these
conditions are altered now. 1t
would be useless to deny that
Gov. Lind is weaker as q candi-
date than he was two yeals ago.
The enormous impetus of the
presidential year and the popular
ity of President Mckinley are
worth from 10000 to $4,000 votes
to the Republican ticket. And
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor will enter the race with q
party united and enthusiastic be-
hind him.
