There is quito :; spirited aud active
contest now going on for the nomina-
ton Of Governor At the Republican
State Convention, to be held at St. Paul,
on the 18th of September. The ,nomii-
nation will turn entirely upon tho Bond
question. Those who favor the settle
ment Of that question upon the terms
Of the measure passed by the Legisla-
ture last winter, arc zealously in favor
Of the denomination Of Hon. VIM. r.
Marshall. who gives that measure his
hearty and cordial support. An at.
tempt has been made during the past
week by certain portions Of the press,
throughout the State, to prejudice the
public mind sgainst Gov. Marshall, by
repr ,senting that he is Ut in favor 81
this measure, that he never gave it his
ready assent, and does not wholly ap-
prove Of the bill ~ it fiaally passed,
and now before the people for their up.
proval or rejection: ......s =.
We happen to know that Gov. Mar
shall gives to the present proposition
tor the adjustment Of these bonds, his
unqualified and sincere support. He
is in favor Of. the measure now before
the people, and those who state to the
contrary, misrepresent the position of
Gov. Marshall, and commit . gross in
jury to the character and integrity Of .
man, who, upon this as upon all other
questions affecting the interests Of the
people Of our State, never hesitates to
let the people know just where he
stands. -. " .''3' ss,,'. 49, .;r ':1 ~. 49,.
The candidate of those who arc op-
posed TO- the bond measure, is Hon.
Chas. D. Gil6llan, of St. Paul. At
first there was ! good deal of talk of
running Ex-senator " ilkinson, Of Man
kato, but for some reason he would NOT
consent TO permit his name 70 be used,
aud now the anti: bond men have gen
orally united upon Gil6llan. :He, We
understand, il strongly opposed to the
present proposition, and fayors the ad-
justmentj and settlement Of the bond
question upon terms in accordance with
the report Of The, Commission, Of which
Gen. l.. 3. Hubbard Va Chairman,
submitted t. the Legislature last vim
ter. According to this report, it was
proposed that the bonds should be ST.
tied upon = basis Of about so cents to
the dollar. After ; thorough, investi-
cation Of the subject this. Commission
came TO the conclusion that all the
State should DO required TO pay on these
bonds VA that. amount. The Legisla-
ture, however, not wishing 10 .'fasten
the stain iofrepudiaaion aupon the State,
and desiring TO leave the bill in such
shape that 10 part Of the bonds would

view Of thetquestion, and after due d.
liberation and discussion, passed the
