We apprehend the honest Repobl'-
cans of this part of Minnesota, those
members of the party VINO are not
specially interested in the spoils Of Office,
present or prospective, derrccate and
dsplore the bitter personal warfare in
dulged in by the friends Of certain gen.
tlemen who are chronic candidates for
Congress in this district. We feel GER
tain thatthey are interested just enough
20 wish that the best man may w'n,
that the nominee may be worthy and
qualified and that he may be such an
one As will tend TO do away with tho
discord aud dissension, slowly Tut
surely leading to our defeat. And fur
ther, that our local interests may re-
oeive that care and attention in Con-
gress next winter, their importance and
our necessities imperatively demand.
In expressing our preferences among
tho gentlemen candidates for the NOM
ination, We hope that no mans claim
will for moment receive support, IN
less he is from = part Of the District
that viii naturally assist US in obtaining
Government aid towards building or
commencing the Northern Pacific R. r.
Is projected through Benton, stearns
and Douglas counties, or At least that
unitedly We insist that the candidate
shall not be from point Enthusiastically
opposed to Us in this most important
scheme. For this reason only, have
wo urged that Northern Minnesota
should cast its entire vote against any
candidate from St. Paul or Minneapolis.
In the latter place, two gentlemen,
Messrs. Morrison and Washburn, are
illustrating the famous Kilkenny cat
tight, in their eagerness to carry Hen
nepiu County, SO to be = candidate in
the District Convention, while We un'
derstand St. Paul is preparing its old
dodge of dragging out some one n I
compromise between the factions
Both Of these places with their inbabi
tants, realize that the point where th<
Northern Pacific Road crosses the Mis-
siss,ppi River must be, unless barren o.
Ill other advantages, one Of the largest
cities in tho State, = city that woult
soon rival either Of them-and in tim
exceed both-in size wealth aud pros
perity. They know, only too well, tia
With tho magnificent farming eount.!
adjacent, the bouDdless pine fores
within easy reach, and tho immsns
water power at and below Sank Rapids
they have enough to contend With
without aiding this locality BY urging
the speedy commencement Of this lint
of the road. This Is the reason Why
both parties are striving to center TIT
various lines of railroad in their respect
i've interests, and to strangle BY Siou1
City branches aud other maneuvres
this Northern line. .zA.,.
We are very certain that St. Cloud
and vicinity need not expect assistance
from these places, nor material aid o
any man WHO might receive the nom
ination, be he from either Of them
Orr only safety is to support, and aa
sist in nominating some one Of the can
didates outside Of St. Paul Or Minneap
oils, and from present appearances !
would seem that We shall have quite (
number to choose from, capable, homes
and worthy men. Let the influence o
Northern Minnesota be felt in the en-
suing convention. ais. >~g
