MAKING A “STILL HUNT.” We have been frequently asked of late if it was not the policy of the democrats of this county to make a | “still hunt” this campaign. Now, it jis batd to tell just what is meant | by that term. Ifit is meant that the democrats are making a cam paign of reason insteadjof prejudice; are depending upon a frank and manly discussion of issues and not men; that the democratic press is disregarding the assaults made democratic candidates and democrats in general by the Union, then we are making a “still hunt.” The time was in this country when voters followed the log cabin and coon ekin with great enthusiasm; when the howling of a demagogue was taken for argument, and the candidate who could most successful- |ly browbeat his opponent secured ‘the most votes. Happily for Ameri- can politics that condition of things ue longer exists.

They said “come out to our meetings and ours only,” and they were obeyed. They were commanded to flee every democratic speaker and read no literature except that prescribed by the leaders. They were commanded to boycot the dem- ocratic newspapers and not even discuss politics on the street for fear of being Contaminated. Did the monks of old ever exercise a more despotic sway over the lives and conscience of the surfs and peasants under their jurisdiction? This time it is different. The voter is exercis- ing his right to think for himself, and we warn the populist that they must present something more tangi- ble than abuse and vituperation if they expect to command the this fall.

Mr. Lewis is asking your suffrage and you have a right before casting your vote to know how he stands on this issue, and whether he favors higher or lower prices for the necessaries. The farmers use these articl:s and they are interested.

Turn- ing again to the east, the little towns of Homer and Lewther were badly | damaged at one time reported com pletely wiped off the face of the earth. After crossing the Mississippi and doing considerable damage to farm and buildings near Marshland, Wis., the storm seemed to have spent its fury and a smaller storm did some damage at Dodge Center, which was not in the path of the main cyclone. The path of the storm was not wide, but it had all the characteris- tics of the deadly tornado and the dimensions of a cyclone. Just how many lives have been lost is still un- certain, but the indie: reports received ate that certainly not less then fifty two are dead, while some of the |reports place the number at from 60 to 100. IN MINNESOTA TOWNS. | At the village of Leroy the storm developed genuine cyclonic features. A portion of the business section of the village was totally wrecked. Houses, elevators and store build jings were as chaff of a threshing | floor before its resistless power. The loss of life is small, owing to the fact that the residence part was largely spared, but the barns were blown away, cattle killed, shade trees uprooted and the scene this morning is one of wreck and ruin. The Milwaukee depot, three eleva- tors and three flax warehouses on the Milwaukee track were demolish- ed. F. J. Trask’s business block as well as two others were quickly smashed down into a one story build- ing as if struck by a inighty blow from above. At the opera house a merry party of about thirty couples was enjoying a dancing party when the building collapsed upon them. Two dead bodies, those of young Finley and Albertson have been taken out. The others were injured, but probably not seriously. W. W. Sweet's house was wrecked, but Mr. and Mrs. Sweet were away at the time. J. M. Wickoff's residence was blown away. The family were on their way down cellar whem the cyclone struck them and they escaped with- out injury. R. G. Young’s house was destroyed, but the family took to the cellar and escaped. During the awful storm a fire broke out in Potter & Brown's new store and the building and contents were totally consumed. The fire communicated to Smart & Butler's hardware store |and this wasalso burned. The Cas | well hotel was completely burned, the bare brick walls alone telling of the disaster. The wind fortunately spared the residence portion of the | village almost entirely or the list of | killed and wounded must have been heart rending. The storm had the usual peculiar |focus ofa cyclone. One building ;would be demolished completely while the one next stands unharmed. | Some of the buildings were crushed down as if an immense weight from above had fallen on them.
