OF Indiana) Governor of Minnesota. er-oGicio
Superintendent Of Indian Affairs, and founder
of the democratic German party"-is in
the southern portion of the Territory on an
election tour, for the purpose OF aiding an anti
Nebraska man but one OF the Governors part
izans. in obtaining the nomination for delegate
to Congress.-Democrat.
We copy the above for the purpose of show
Ing the high degree of unity which exists in
the democratic" ranks of Minnesota at this
time. The Democrat would wish to convey the
impression that the Governor is going to ''bolt''
the Democratic nomination fer Congress, un-
less an anti-Nebraska candidate is nominated
and the Nebraska issue ignored in the Conven.
ton, which issue by the way--notwithstandin
its late endorsement of the Red Wing anti.
Nebraska Fusion platform-the Democrat has
again become great stickler for. We are
rather inclined to think the Governor, this time
knows precisely what he is about Having the
entire confidence of the Administration at
Washington, it is not probable he is going to
"throw off" his best friends and strongest
available "backers" in that quarter to please
his worst enemies in Minnesota.

moment for such vindictive hater of his ene-
mics as is Gov. German, to see by the above
extract that those of his party who lately NOV
ed heaven and earth to crush him, are now
fearful that he will soon circumvent and crush
them. Haman may yet be hanged upon his own
gallows, and Dav. Olmsted--the supposed
"anti-Nebraska man." sneered at SO contempt
uously by the Democrat-may yet go to Con-
gress through the influence and votes of the
democratic or German party" Who knows?
Stranger things than this have happened in
Minnesota politics.
Meanwhile, so long as German has the conf
dence and counsel of the powers that be a.
Washington, be can snap his fingers at the Dem
ocrat and those of his party who do not wish to
fall into his support here at home.
