II now seems probable that he will be
an Independent candidate for Congress
in the second district Of Minnesota,
supported BY the Democrats, and at.
tempt to defeat his former faithful
trend and efficient helper, Gen. John
II. Averill. Mr.; DonncIly has many
brilliant qualities. He is ready de-
batter, and possesses a degree Of literary
culture and ability not found in many
of our public men, but he seems to be
making the mistake of preferring noto-
riety to character, and he will find that
there is nothing in bis history or his
abilities which will save him from the
defeat which overtakes all politicians

nesots, which met in St. Paul, by a
vote Of SO to Is resolved not to make
: nomination for Member Of Con gress,
but recommended the Democrats to
support 1gnatius Donne]ly, who runs as
an' independent free.trads candidate.
A ratification meeting Wis held the
same evening, when Doonelly made a
speech, wherein he thanked tho Demo
Gratis for their endorsement, and accept
ed their platform as his own: Don
nelly deserves the title Of "irrspressi.
ble," which has: sometimes been ap.
piled to him. he was first a Democrat;
then he was Republican, because he
could get Office, and when he could get
Office no longer he played into the
hands Of the Democracy by running
as an Independent candidate for Con-
gress, thereby securing the election Of
Democrat in a Republican district.
If by any means he should be elected
now he would be a Democratic repre-
sentative to all intenb and purposes
We hope that no Republican will vote
for him. @&j *'':" s-i'..'' -.' -. it. =. !
