"MACK." the editorand at pres

Globe-Democrat thinks Armstrong, the
new Senator from Missouri, will com
pare favorably with the average Dem
ocratic Senator. That ain't saying
much for Armstrong.
Yes we have got Banning on the
brain, he is a good enough Republican
for us and, while we are not veiy
sanguine as to his election, still we,
think Pillsbuiy's majority will Be
slim.

PRINCETON UNION.
is a candidate for the sen
ate from Dakota county.
THE candidates are all on the rag*
ged edge just now.
FRANK CAMPBELL is talked of as a
candidai'e for county trea?urei. Frank
would make a good treasurer.
THE Brainerd Tribune bolts the
Repuhlican nominees for Senator and
Representative, and supports Craw
lord and Raiscott.
WHO will be the lucky or unlucky
man that will get the Republican nom
ination for county treasurer next Sa
turday?
WE agree with "W, C." that H. B'
Cowles is a fiit-classman for the posi
tion, and we have no doubt but what
he would make a faitiul treasure,.
PtLLSGUitY is a good judge of hard
ware, but the governor of the young
and growing sfate of Minnesota should
possess some other aeuqirements.
VOTERS of She*burae county, if you
a man is worth $20,000 or
$30,000, it is no surety that he will
make a good treasurer, A man may
be worth a million to-day, and if he is
dishonest he can dispose of his prop
erly inside of twenty-four hours, so
that his creditors could not colled a
dime.
THE Republicans of Greenbtish
have re-nominated Mr. A. D. Jesmer
for county commissioner Greenbush
is strongly Republican, and as the
uomination of Mr, Jesmer Was fair and
square, all good Republicans will sulp
port himwill stand by the nominee,
bound to do.
on Saturday, candidates for treasurer
school superintendent and county sur
veyor are to be nominated. The pub
lic sentiment of the county demand
that a good responsible man shall have
the handling of the county funds for
the ensuing term, and it behooves the
convention to nominate a man in
whom the people will have confidence,
one who can give a good and sufficient
bond if elected if such a man is not
nominated three-fourths of the Re
publicans of the county will bolt the
nominee, and so will the UNION,

As usual, Brocklehurst puts his

was a delegate from Read's Landing.

was the impiovement of the Missis

well, perhaps New Orleans is on the
Upper Mississippi, but its news to us.

EDITOR UNION:
SIR:J. W. Libby has received the
the nomination irom the People's con
vention for treasurer of Sherburne
county, and I hope you will do your
level,best for him through your paper
as I know the UNJON circulates quite
extensively through Baldwin and Blue"
hill. There is no use of my talking
about Joe Libby's good qualities, he
is well knowjo in this end of the coun
ty, and he wiir/Yeceive arousing vote
here if' the ^people of other portions
of the county were as well acquainted
with him, as we here in Baldwin aitej
Mr. Nickerson's vote would be veiy
slim indeed. Mr, Libby .is an honest,
slraightioiward whole-souled fellow
'and if he is defeated it will be because
he is too modest and 'unassuming he
is not a scheming wirepuller, and he
is not backed up by the \'iing." J. W.
Libby has a mind of his Own, no man
or clique can run him. he* Will do just
whatever he thinks is right no mater
who fe pleased dr displeased. :Some of
Libby's enemies say that* He is not
i. *_ he.douldget it in Princeton inside of
an hour's notice. Vote for the peo
ple's'favorite, for a courteous gentkv
maki,^and anHibntst mmJ. W. Libby.

Said an Arkansas coroner's jury:
"We find that the deceased came to
his death by Jim Bla^kln's bowie-knife
having incidentally touched a vital
part,"
An editor in Mississippi recently
wrote, "before our subscribers go
down to bathe in the'baytin,'we wish
they would send their caifds to this of
fice, for we do hbt like'5to
print a
man's name wrong who ihas been de
voured by an alligator."
"Speaking of shaving!" said a pret
ty girl to an obdurate old bacuelor, "I
should think that a pair of handsome
eyes would be the best mirror to shave
by." "Yes, many a poor devil has
been shaved by them," the wretch re
plied.
A candid Maine journalist states that
whereas, in Greece, you can tell by
the way a woman wears hfcr hair
whether she is married or "not, in
America you may know^tbat a man is
married if he dosen't wear any hair at
all.
During the war- of. the, rebellion
three Irishmen named Pat Mick and
Teddy swore to stick to-each*other at
the battle of Bull's Run: Poor Pat got
his head shot off, and Teddy got his
arm broken. Teddy was screaming
with pain, when Mick turned around
and said, "What is it- man, you are
bawling about: sure Pat has got the
whole head shot off, and he ain't say
ing niver a word about it."
A certain Congregational preacher
in Ohio, was in the habit of sometimes
drawing upon a box of sermons be
queathed him by his father, who was
also a minister. Upon oue occasion he
got hold of a sermon, by mistake,
which the old gentleman once preach
ed to the State prison convicts. It
opened well, and the congregation
were becoming deeply interested,
when all at once the parson surprised
them with the information that, "had
it not been for the clemency of the
Governor, every one of you would
have been hung long ago,"
A patron of a certain newspaper*-
the Sedalia Bazootohce1
said tb the
publisher, "ifr^ Printer, how is it you
never call on irie fovbay
for your pap-
er?" "Oft!" said thb man ofjfpes,
we never ask a gentleman for money."
"Indeed?" replied the patron. "Hiew
do you manage to get along when they
don't pay?" -Why," said the editor,
|'after a certain time we conclude he
is not a gentleman, and we ask him."
The Chicago ^Post mildly remarks
that when St. Louis wants an obelisk
an old shoe of one of our belles will
answer the purpose. Chicago's monu
ment was designed to be built out of
old safes from the fire, but in conse
quence of a lack of material the work
has languished. Now, however, they
are taking the safes out of broken sav
ing banks, and the top of. their monu
ment is expected to tower out of the
reach of the smells of the river.St.
