Let those who know him best speak. Her. Wickstrund, a Bwedish minister recently a pastor In Mr. Streeter's neigh borbood, and who has been called by a Swedish congregation in this city, when here a few weeks ago, said that he was well acquainted with Mr. Streeter, and knew him to be an upright honest and universally respected man.

Another gentleman, Feter Florman, of this city says that his father-in-law, when be first came from Sweden worked for Mr. Streeter and found him one of the finest man be ever worked for before or siace. Still another, Otto Lindal. also of this city, and a carpenter says that ho has worked for Mr. Streeter himself, and that be was a fine man to work for and always paid higher wages than any body else.

This agrees with the statement that during the war he paid higher prices for the produce raised by the families bf poor soldiers than were paid by the men now denouncing bim.

Under these conditions I thought it right to give tbe soldiers' families as good as we had at home. Soon after this, however, greenbacks cam into circulation, and we eould buy sugar and coffee again, and I was glad for the soldiers family to have them.

In fact I gave of my substance more than any other man In this vicinity, including John McKinney, to the maintenance of soldier's families. I gave cows to them bodily and other provisions without any consideration for the same and when tbe wsr was over, I gave money to build a monument In honor of our fallen braves, more than John McKinney or any two republicans In the county.
