ALIENS REPUBLICANlSM "a

OF late, Brother Allen of the
Sentinel is wont to pose as a simon
pure, Observation-Disclosures republican
the straightest ever was, and one
republican whose republicanism has
never been Questioned and whose
loyalty to the party is worthy of
great reward. Verify, the old gen.
tleman's memory needs Jogging"
a few.
When A. B. Allen arrived in Be-
midi from St. Paul, he came with
the 20. K" and personal recon-
mend of Frank Day, private secre-
tary of Gov. John A. Johnson, and
chief factotem of the democratic
party in the State of Minnesota;
and P. J. Russell of this city, known
all over the north half of the state
as the most fearless Jeffersonian
democrat IN these parts, was espec-
tally delegated to assist the Colonel"
in his quest for fame and lucre.
In fact, P. J. did his part towards
launching the "Growler" on a cam
paign of conquest of the local news
paper field, more especially because
of the favorable recomme ndation of
Mr.. Day.
Now, Brother Day (who is a
fellow newspaper man. seldom makes
political mistakes especially
in sizing up' men of Aliens caliber;
and the 'Colonep' attempted to
deliver the goods, as per the charge
given him. He failed utterly to
come up to the expectations of his
St. Paul and Jackson friends, and
continued a "mugwump" and poll
teal monstrosity with few equals.
IL return for the favors handed
him by P. ]. Russell, Allen went
agin" him (RusselD at the first
opportunity given to support Russell
for public Office, thus showing his
true character as a double-cross
artist who will throw a friend at the
first opportunity.
So much for Allen and his
republicanism.
