THE DIsORGANlZERs IN GOODnUE
COUNTY.

The Press Washburn clique have
been claiming that their boiling candi.
date would have considerable strength
in Goodhue county. Those who under
stand the facts know this to be false.
But the regular Red Wing correspon-
dent of the St. Paul Pioneer, "Obser-
ver," puts an etfectual quietus upon
this Boosting. While the Pioneer, edi-
torially supports Andrews, As Wilson's
right bower, yet it allows its regular
correspondents fair play, feature un-
known in the Press. This correspon-
dent gives an account of the attempted
organization Of an "Andrews club :"
The call vas signed by 6fty-two of
our pleading men," and the meeting
being 50 formidably "called," promised
tremendous gathering of the Simon
pure. An enthusiastic Andrews man
was fearful that the hall would not hold
half Of the vast audience that would
be on hand. How vain are human ex-
pectationa aud how little do We know
Of the future. "This enthusiastic rally
for Andrews" died almost at its birth,
and its rigorous var cry" (vlde St.
Paul Press) did not "echo tar and
wide' very extensively. The meeting
was, however, held, and nearly half a.
many as signed the call attended it. It
gave few spasmodic kicks aud died.
Our most. energetic Paul Pry news
mongers have heard nothing Of it since.
A few nights afterwards, Senator
Ramsey and G. K. Davis Of St. Paul
addressed a meeting, but although An
drews was in the city they would not
permit him to speak. Thi. was, Of
course, a terrible blow. This CORES
pondcnt continues:

thought he bad not been friendly
enough to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. The meeting adjourned with
three cheers for Grant and Colfax, but
not one cheer for Andrews. He left
the next morning.
