CLERK OF THE COURT THoRNE.

One of the reliable and trustworthy
phen Thorne, clerk of the court.
Mr.. Thorne is one of the gentlemen
who needs no formal introduction to
the people of this county. He is well
and favorably known to almost every
resident. 1t is a common remark
among folks hereabouts that Mr.. Thorne
can call by name the greater majority
of those who live within the confines
of this county. And everybody knows
Mr.. Thorne and they hold him in
the highest respect. He is a genial
gentleman and conscientious official,
who handles the affairs of his office
in manner so satisfactory that the
voters will render a decision in his
favor on election day.
The clerk of the court has large
clientage. His constituency embrace
the legal fraternity of every city in
Minnesota and many of those in other
states. The position has to do with
every judicial tribunal in the state and
he who holds that position must be
trained to the work. The duties are
exacting and important. Mr.. Thorne's
long experience as clerk equips him for
the task and to make a change in
that office now might prove embar-
RAISING to the many lawyers and the
people generally who have business
and professional relations with that
branch of the court.
Mr.. Thorne has most excellent
record, and it will be the means of
retaining him in a position where he
is necessary to the quick and correct
transaction of public business.

FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS.

j. G. Fowler is the republican candi-
date for register of deeds. He came
with his parents to Mankato in 1858.
He attended school in the old log
school house where the Union school
house now stands, and there, received
his early education. He was always
busy when not at school, ready to saw
a cord of wood or do anything else
to earn an honest penny.
When seventeen years of age he,
with others from Mankato, donned the
blue and went forth to fight the bat
ties of his country. He was honor
ably discharged from the army for dis
ability contracted while in the service.
He returned home attended one term
of school, taught one term of school
in st. Peter, was clerk in a store
one year in st. Paul, then returned
to Mankato, going into the marchantile
business on his own account.
While in business he established an
enviable reputation for fair dealing.
In 1875 he was nominated on the re-
publican ticket for the office of register
of deeds, was elected and held the
office three terms, giving splendid sat
isfaction and winning the esteem of all.
Since that time he has held other
offices of trust. both at home and in
the service of the state and in what
ever position of trust he has filled, he
has served with honor to himself and
with credit to his constituents. He is
now candidate for the same office
he filed so ably before. His ability
and integrity is is unquestioned and as
an old soldier is entitled to your vites.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The long heralded johnson meeting
came off last night, and it was I'M
doubtedly the biggest political demon
stration that the democrats have ever
held in Mankato. In spite of the rain.
there was crowd out. Special train.
brought in several hundred johnson
enthusiasts from surrounding towns
with bands, and this imported enthus-

at home. Johnson's st. Peter friends
turned out strong and saved the day.
so far as enthusiasm went, for it was
their efforts that kept the interest up.
They started the applause, and in fact
supplied the most entertaining part
of the program.
Crowd Was Held Back.
The crowd was held out in the rain
until quarter before eight o'clock
through some mismanagement, and
this created a rush and jam when the
doors were finally thrown open. The
opera house was quickly filled, and
the band played several selections. To
pass the time. until Governor Johnson's
train arrived, the st. Peter Lyric club
was brought into requisition and rem
dered number of selections. The club
numbers twenty members, students at
Gustavus Adolphus college, with good
voices. Numerous other college bows
were also present, and some girls with
johnson banners, in the gallery. The
students kept repeating their yell,
"One, two, three, four! Who are we
for? Johnson"
A delegation of leading democrats
met Governor Johnson at LIE Sueur
and accompanied him to Mankato, and
when he arrived on the stage, with
his hands in his pockets, bowling to
right and left, there was prolonged
