good sized purse, for which it is the
intention to have two of the fastest
teams in the state, namely the .Lund-
Lands of Minneapolis and the Colored
Gophers of st. Paul, compete on the
local baseball grounds.
Both teams have a wide reputation
and their work is kept tab of through
out the northwest. Wherever they
meet they draw large crowds.
If a sufficient purse can be raised, it
is planned to have these two teams
here some time in July.
NOT ATLOEGTHER so, BUT
SOMEWHAT OF TRUTH.

to the Little Falls band question,

ut is also possible that Little Falls

have been gifted with every advantage
that nature can bestow .

The Denver convention is a
matter ofsthe spast and its work
from start to fnishDis highly sat-
isfactory to Democrats in every
part of thessentirescountry. AS a
gathering of representative men
no meeting ons this continent has
ever equaled it inability nor sur
passed it in nobleness of purpose.
Every State was represented by
true Democrats mengof long ex-
perience in the warfare for bet
ter government, and2 the result
forebodes advancement of party
interest, and thess return of the
government to the limits of the
constitution. The platform COW
ers every question of national i'm
portance, states the Democratic
position plainly and meets every
issue in an open, sshonest manner.
1t is not the product Sof a plat
form writer, sscunningly devised
to pluck the FLOWERS from both
sides Of the stream, but was made
by the delegates who were in
touch with 1.-THE desires of Demo-
Gratis in every part of the country,
who knewsthe real needs of the
people-it's al platform for the
people, pureFand simple. To our
mind it is the greatest declara-
ton of principles and presages
more good toItheer american peo-
pie than anylposition ever taken
by a political party. 1t meets
the endorsements of Democrats
and is bound to receive the ap-
probationa:of 4 Independents and
Conservative Republicans. With
w. j. Bryan and John w. Kern,
the nominees, no one interested
in the success of the party or the
triumph of its principles need
fear the result. The fight is on
in its infancy it is true, but it is
on in earnest, on under our great
est leader and on to win. The
