The following article is an appreciation
of the late Hon. Winfield Scott Hammond
by one who for twenty-five years en-
joyed somewhat intimate acquaintance
with him. The writer has had thu
privilege many time of discussing with
the Governor matters concerning hi:
political career, his tastes in literature
and many other things which may b.
of interest to the people of this com

The writer's first real acquaintance
with Mr.. Hammond dates from the
summer of 1892. He was then be-
ginning his career as a lawyer, and was
in partnership with D. C. Hopkins, al
Madelia. Before that he had for some
years been the principal of the Madelis

was not spectacular, but it was laid or

as rising star in the profession. From
that time his advancement was sure, bu

decisions, seemingly contradictory AM

to master. While in Mankato one day
