ROBERT H. GRAHAM.
The nomination of Robert H. Graham
for Senator of the Twenty-eighth
Legislative District was one which even
his bitterest political opponents cannot
find fault with. While Mr. Graham is
not as well known, perhaps, as the ma
jority of the others on the ticket, he is
squally as much admired and respected
by those who are intimately acquainted
with him. Mr. Graham is a modest and
xaassuming man, and is one of those

PHILIP JB. WINSTON.
Winston, candidate lor Senator in the Twenty-ninth Legislative
a. Southerner by birth, having been born ia the State of Virginia.
From his young tyoyhood, and
in ''fact Until he was 28 years
of age, Mr. Winston's life was
spent on the farm. Like many
Another man. the Western fever
finally became uppermost in his
\thonghts^ and in 1872 he drift
ed in the tide, stopping only
when he reached Minneapolis.
Here in this city he married
the daughter of that old and
respected citizen, Col. John H.
•Stevens. He first began life
here as a laborer, later on
acted as a railroad sub-con
tractor and contractor and
eventually entered heart and
soul into the worjfcof engineer
ing and building the Northern
Pacafic 'Railroad from Bis
marck to the Columbia river,
which was accomplished by
the good management, perse
everance and pluck of this
man. Philip B. Winston is
known fill over this great
Northwest. He has hosts of
friends everywhere—friends
who respect him the more because he has gained point after point in life after
the most severe toil. As a contractor those who have worked for him speak only
in praise of the treatment they have received at his hands. It is safe to say
that he is thought more of by lus men than any other contractor in the Northwest,
and if their votes were to elect him he would be the next Senator from the
Twenty-ninth District by an overwhelming majority. In his nomination the
Democratic party made a wise choice, and his election will be hailed with
delight bv thousands of Republicans as well as Democrats throughout the county
in which lie lives.
that he could be induced
to -#cc|apt the nomination, but now that
ftnted he will fight the battle
to the end, and the end will assuredly
see Mr. Graham Senator for the
Twenty-eighth Legislative District. The
subject of this sketch waB born at La
chine, on the beautiful St. Lawrence
River, in the Province of Quebec, in the
year 1844. His parents were Highland
Scotch, and indeed it would scarcely be
necessary to record the fact that he was
of Scottish descent for the information
of any parson who has ever gazed on his
magnificent physique. His parents,
while Mr. Graham was yet a boy of 11
years, removed with their family to
Monroe County, Wisconsin, where
the boy lived
IT
til he attained the
estate of manhood. Mr. Graham, al
though it may not be generally known,
has a war record which many would be
proud of, but, as in other things, his
modesty prevents him from allowing
asy more retention being made than that
he "fought from the Wilderness to the
wind-up." He belonged to the 10th
New York, second division, second army
corps. After leaving the army—in 1866
—he went on to the frontier as a scout
and guide, and can narrate the incidents
of many hair-breadth escapes he has
had from bebjg scalped by the red man
of the west. Mr. Graham is now en
gaged in railroad enterprises. He had
a large contract on the Union Pacific
while it was in course of construction,
and later was identified prominently
with the building of the great Canadian
national highway—the Canadian Pacific
Railway. He has been successful in
all his railroading enterprises, as he has
been in everything he ever undertook.
He does not boast of any great educa
tien—that is, so far as "school-learning"
is concerned.—having received a common
school education—but he io well-edu
cated in the ways of the world. He was
married in Wisconsin in 1870, after
which he remoyed to Minneapolis,
where he has resided ever since,excepting
when his ousineas called him elsewhere.'
He is a consistent Democrat, and above
all an honorable, upright man, and the
people of the Twenty-eighth District can
rest assured that they will be repre
sented by a man who will never miss an
opportunity of advancing their interests
individually and collectively if they
elect Mr. Graham.

Special Correspondence of The Irish Standard
THE STANDKD has made a good many l'ritnds
among the Irish-Catholic population of Anoka.
I noticed Mr. Thoa. Coleman of Pridley in
town today, he is full of politics just now, and
is a rustler in that line.
Hugh Kennedy is going to take unto himself
a partner from among the lair daughters of
Anoka. I hope the STANDARD will juin me
in wishing him success.
Our Hibernian society is in a flourishing con
dition. Our worthy president, Mr. John Cole
man, is running for county commissioner of
the Fourth district, and 1 think he will get
thero, too.
Politics are red-hot here just now, both Stato
and local. Our county has generally gone Re
publican by from three to five hundred ma
Joiity, but 1 think we will place it in the Demo
cratic line of counties this fall.
Mayor Ames spoke here last Friday evening
to the largest and most enthusiastic political
gathering that ever assembled in Anoka. He
was well received by the people, who met him
at the depot with carriages and a band of
music.
Last Saturday was the Democratic district
convention day and I noticed good many of
the East siders from your city, who, were will
ing to serve the Stale in a legislative capacity
but the offices would not go around. So they
will have to take turns.
