President} inley has more than made good} all that he promised, or that was prom- 1 on his behalf, and as the smoke arful matters because of w jon has been criticised, red with the immense sub- interest which under that administra- tion have been brought about. We appealed for President McKinley be- fore, asserting what he would do it ent from our knowledge of what} 1 done in lesser positions. Now we appeal for him, king that the promise of a second term be judged by | the performance of his first, and pledg-| ing that the wonderful work so trium-} itly begun in his first term shall] ond be carried to an even amphant corclusion.” Platforms Compared, e governor then reviewed the ad- | ation of President McKinley, mued: ‘We know definitely what we believe and we say it out right. Our opponents, who represent all the forces of discontent, malice and envy, formed and formless, vague and concrete, n hardly be said to know what they really do believe, because the prince profess, if put forth nakedly, > revolting even to their own followers, that they dike—at least to try—to wrap the mantle of hypoc- risy around them. They rant about trusts, but they have nothing practica- ble to advise in the way of a remedy. ‘The governor said that the Democrats | bad inverted the imaginary Danger of Imperialism, and about which they also rave, yet so conscious are they of the hollowness of their attack, so well aware that to follow out their professions would mean to trail the American flag in the dust, that they are obliged to pretend that really, after all, they are for ex- pansion. “Their only unequivocal po- sition is that in favor of free silver at a ratic of 16 to 1,” said the governor. “True to nature they have sought to subordinate the one issue on which they take a decisive stand, and they declare that they have subordinatea the question of free silver and other questions. Now, as a matter of fact, they cannot decide which one of their various heresies the people shall regard as the most important. The decision vests with the people themselves.” Free Silver Discussed. Of the question of free silver he said: “There is little need to argue against free silver now. What need we say against a doctrine which would work a sweeping and destructive rev- olution in our financial system, and yet which is advanced by a party af- ter a violent contest in which nearly palf ot that party bas opposed it? It is hardly wecessary to say that not merely free silver, but the very threat of free silver would paralyze our whole industrial life. The election of yjed in the | Moreover, now we actually are seeing | we intend | bring w: | It is of advantage to all, especially to | pa Mr. Bryan would cause such economic and financial chaos as to reduce this whole country to a condition of fearful and acute distress.” The goyernor then took up’ the t Question of Imperialism, to which he deyoted considerable at- tention. Among other. things he said: “It hardly seems worth while to waste any time upon what the Kansas City people call imperialism and militarism. The dominant note of the Kansas City convention was insincerity. They mouth about imperialism and -militar- ism, kuewing that there is not one thread of truth in what they say, knowing, if they know anything, that their words are putting a premium upon treuble in every island from which the Spaniards have been driven, and caring nothing because they wish to purchase party success even at the cost of d onesty to the flag, of death and suffering te the men who fight un- der the flag. Bitter indeed is The Cup They Hold Out to the nation to drink and thrice bitter it ,will ‘be for the nation if it does not spurn it.

We have established a system under which the island is advancing by leaps and bounds to prosperity. In Cuba we have put Gen.

Remember that exparsion does not it ultimately brings peace. the people thereby lifted out of sav- gery. We should hail the advance of y civilized nation over barbarous peeples, se long as that advance is not made ir e form prejudicial to the rest of mankind.” In conclvsion Gov.

The rain fell in torrents for about six hours. Some grain is already cut. The straw is very short and the berry light. Chinch bugs have done some damage to barley and wheat and have begun on corn. Corn looks well and if the bugs let it alone it will be a good crop. Wirona, Minn.—The heaviest rains since the flood of June a year ago vis- ited this sect.on. Little damage was done by flooding, but the continued Wet weather, it, is believed, will do great damage to the crops by propa- gating smut and rust. Parker, S. D.—By government test over 6 1-2 inches of rain has fallen here since Saturday morning. This beats the record so far as it has been kept.

A meeting of forty o1 fifty of the leaders from all parts of the state had been held at the Windsor in the afternoon and the work of the convention informally mapped out, so that a very general understanding of the order and the nature of the busi- ness prevailed throughout the conven- tion when it assembled. No point was contested, so that the delegates had ample time to disnatch all the routine inside of two hours and listen to some patriotic addresses by distinguished speakers and some patriotic music by the band as well.

The Winona Railway and Light com- pany has formally accepted the ordin- ance recently passed by the Winona city council, giving it permission to ex- tend its tracks across the lake. The company already has a surveying crew in the field and will begin work at an early date. Miss Sallie Buck of Winona has re- turned from a tramp through Southern Minnesota, in company with her friend Miss Lulu Meade of Stillwater. Thet route took them through Lanesboro, Preston, St. Charles, Rollingstone and back to Winona. The trip was mad<¢ entirely, on foot and took several weeks. The water in the Red river has been so low all summer as to preclude the possibility of securing enough logs at East Grand Forks to keep the saw mil) supplied. The company has built a track from the main line on the east side of the river, and will at once he- gin to ship in logs as fast as they need them. The track is a model piece of railway construction work. A recount of the population of Man- kato has been ordered by Census Di- rector Merriam. This decision is the outcome of dissatisfaction of Mankato business men as to the recent count by the enumerators. Special Agent V. G Olmstead of Washington, D. C., will have charge of the work. Supervisor Hamlin of Blue Earth City and Special Agent Olmstead inet the citizens’ com- mittee with the above result. The decision of Judge Lochren thar he eculd not reonen the survey of Ce- dar lake, in St. Louis county, is a seri- ous blow to a score of settlers. They were confident that the gross frauds in the original survey, by which the lake was erroneously platted, would be rec- tified by the government. Now that there is to be no new survey, and the lake is to remain, officieally, in the wrong place, surrounded by swamps that do not and never did exist, they are out ten years of time and expenses of the suit. The summer training school for the counties of Stearns, Benton, Sher- burne and Wright opened up Monday morning at the normal school building in St. Cloud with a fair attendance. Classes were assigned to the various teachers and everything placed in per- fect running order. It is expected that the attendance will materially increase. The only change in the faculty is the substitution of Miss Ruth Tozier of River Falls, Wis., for Miss Margaret Jerrard of St. Cloud, owing to the ill- ness of the latter. ' Mrs. John Nagle, one of the pioneer residents of Rice county, died in the township of Shieldsville. She was sey- enty years old, and had resided in Rice county for forty-five years, she and her husband forming part of a colony es- tablished by Gen. Shields in Shields- ville in 1855. L. M. Landing of Glenwood has re- ceiyed notice of the granting of a pat- ent on an interest-computing machine recently invented by him.

FIRE FIEND’S WORK. Business Portion of Prescott, Aris., Wiped Out. Prescott, Ariz., July 17. — Tottering wails and piles of charred and burning debris. are all that remain of the prin- cipal business portion of Prescott. The fire, which started at 10:40 o’clock Sat- urday night, burned fiercely until 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when the fire fighters went some distance in ad- vance of the flames and blew up the buildings on the south side of Good, win street, preventing the flames from crossing that sireet.
