Of pubieation) that tho movement in
favor of Cen. Andrews in Northern
Minnesota is but . scheme of Mr..
Washburn's friends to advance the in
terssts OF that individual. We scarcely
think Gen. Andrews so intends tive
believe that he really .desirss to go to
Congress, aud labors under the impress
siou that he has some prospect Of sue
cess-but those who are managing his
Affairs in this County do. They are

pressed Themselves. Yet they say they
win support any candidate in order to
defeat Mr.. Donnelly and this is the
principal aid Gen. Andrews can expect
from them. The programme is well
understood in St. Paul and Minneapo-
Lis, and::Mr. Washburn's money is freely
used in the canvass in this county.
In few towns there are persons who
sincerely think Gen. Andrews has some
chance of q nomination, and laboring
under the delusion that it would be a
benefit to Northern Minnesota to get
any person from this portion of the
State, are honestly hoping for his sue
oeas. Concedlng al that the warmest
friends Of this gentleman claim for him
on the score Of ability, devotion to the
party, experience, practical ideas of
legislatiou, knowledge Of the necessities
Of the country and the best means of
obtaining their ful6lment, As DICTATOR,
a . man Of popular manners, as one
who could make friends and influence
in Congress, as compared with Mr.. DON
nelly, We call their attention to the fact
thatall but one ofthe countiesin North
ern Minnesota which have IS yet chosen
delegates to the Congressional Conven-
ton have selected men either favorable
to or instructed for Mr.. Donuelly.-
Grow Wing, Wright, Douglas, Morzi-.
son and Todd counties have all de-
chred for MI. Donnelly. It is admitted
on al sides that Cass Will do the same.
Benton county is conceded to Mr..
Donnely, and 20 is Pope. The only
possible chance left for Gen. Andrews
Is shsrburne county, which will proba-s
bly, 90 for Gen. Hubbard, and Monon-
gala county, which is quite As likely to
instruct for Mr.. Donnelly. Mcleod
county il al he has. Under, the most
favorable circumstances. even with
Stsazns county, he would have but .
dozen delegates. This would be .
miserable farce. It is making the sin.
