John \ johnson, the great dem
ocratic governor of Minnesota, the
man of the hour, who has a strong
chance OF being nominated for pres
ident by the National Democratic
convention at Denver, possesses
probably the most remarkable per-
sonality OF any man in the public
eye. Reared in poverty, as a boy he
knew all the sufferings and short
comings which a father suffering
from the habits of alcoholism can
bring down upon family. From
his earliest youth his has been a
struggle in the battle for existence.
Few bright lights have entered into
his existence to soften his nature.
and arduous toll has marked his ca
reer from boyhood to present day.
From the age Of Is when he became
the MAN support of his mother, to
early manhood, when he was select
ed as editor ola country paper
later as governor of Minnesota. his
chef characteristic. have been his
extraordinary good sense, keen
judgment of humanity and above
all the lovable traits of kindliness
which put him in the class with
Abraham Lincoln"

are goods that on account Of being
imperfect have been thrown back on
tho hands Of some Of the mills, who
have sold them at very low price
to the parties mentioned. In some
instances the woolens have been
