Minnesota; but returned this morning in good
health and spirits. ts.ad. lsr5'sF
Before leaving he had addressed Mr.. Den
nison a note requesting joint canvass thro'
out he campaign. and Oh his return found
note from Mr. Dennison, saying that from the
5th to the 20h OF September lie would de-
vote to joint discussions, under the arrange
menis of the State Committees.
This will certainly be accepted by Judge
Ranney, who will make such a fortDight's

Dennison claims that bis appointments were
made before h.. received the challenge -
Then why not invite Judge Ranney right
along with him just as the appointments

The Locofocos have everything to gain and
nothing to lose. They may or may not gain
by getting ap controversial muss.
But the Republicans have everything TO
gain by fair, candid, and faithful presenta-
tion of facts and arguments for the consider
alton of thoughtful people. Hence, such an
arrangement as the one above suggested, can
result in no good to the cause of truth
Each assembly will convene with party biases
strongly marked partisan feelings will be still
more infamed, and the party bias remain the
