Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1878-10-24

The contest for representative is
now between Messrs. Sanford and Com
stock, and the prospects are that it
will be a close fight. Both gentlemen
are well and favorably known, and are
competent and reliable, and either
would be a credit to this district. Mr..
Sanford has the advantage of being the
regular nominee, and having had his
name for some time before the people
This gives him a decided start, and as
many Of Mr.. Comstocks friends helped
put him (Sanford) in nomination they
Of course feel in duty bound to support
him. Mr.. Comstock. however, has
the advantage of being better known
in this part of the district, and if he
had been earlier in the field, would
have stood a much better chance
Yet, he and his friends are actively at
work, and they propose to make up
for lost time. The friends of both
gentlemen are making a lively canvass
for their respective candidates, and we
predict close fight. Lately, nothing
has been heard Of Barsness> and it is
not probable that he will poll a vote
in this county.
Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1878-10-24

For the credit of Stevens county,
we hope A. A. Brown will not receive
one vote. We cannot expect the same
result in other portions Of the district,
as there are some of the voters who are
under obligations to Brown-not from
any kindness he ever done them, but
he is in business and holds their notes
and mortgages, and they know what
the result would be were they to open.
ly oppose him. This county cannot
afford to endorse a man whose reputa-
tion will not bear scanning; and from
articles elsewhere quoted, it seems that
his past record contains nothing that
would recommend it to any honest or
fair minded person. The articles we
publish are bona-fide; they are copied
from papers published in the district
where all the parties were known, and
consequently relate the facts. We
COPY from more than one paper so as
not to do Mr.. Brown any injustice, but
as all the articles show o bad state oil
affairs and if these were not facts-it il
certain that some one paper would
have a word to his credit.

It is probable that we shall have to
have some important legislation, the
coming season, in order to perfect the
title to the lands purchased from the
railroad company. 1t is well known
fact that there is some difficulty in re-
gard to the lands on the line of this
road, and as far as can be learned, the
titles are not perfect. No lands are
being sold; no business is transacted; !;
hence, it is not improbable that the
legislature may be called upon to pro-
tect the rights of the settlers. Should
this be the case, it is necessary fer us
to have representatives whose reputa-
tion for honesty, integrity, and capa-
bility are unimpeachable. We must
have men on whose Judgment we can
rely, and in whom we can place full
confidence. The regular nominees,
Messrs. Stone and Sanford, are both
men Of unimpeachable character, and
are fully competent to fill the positions
with credit to themselves and to the
people. The secondhand" candi-
date for Senator, A. A. Brown, is not
a man in whom we can place conf
dence, as his reputation is none of the
best, and as for Barseness, he is totally
incompetent, and his candidacy is but
a farce. 1t is therefore evident, that
if we consult our interests in this mat
ter, we must support the regular nom

force at the next meeting. So much
feeling has been stirred up in this mat
ter that it is necessary to take prompt

A. J. Comstock's appearance as a
candidate for legislative honorS, puts a
new aspect on the face of things politi-
cal. 1t will, at all events, defeat Bars
ness, and of this we are glad, as it will
show him and his friends that they
have made a mistake, not only in put
ting such an incompetent and unpopu-
lar man in the field, but also in bolting
a convention after they have partici-
pated in its deliberations.

The elevator agents state that the
proportion Of No. 3 wheat being re-
ceived is less than at the commence
ment of the season. This is attributed
to the fact that the grain now delivered,
being stacked and going through the
sweat; whereas, a large portion of
that previously delivered was threshed
from the shock. 1t is gratifying to
know that this is the case, and we
would suggest that as the farmers are
to blame, it might be well for Hodges
& Co. to ''shake them over HI" for
a while.

men understand that the republican or.

will bar them from future participation.

Since the convention at Alexandria an

always up fer some office and if the peo
pie do not put him up he is sure to come
up himself. We think the masses of Big

their support to Mr.. Stone, and we anlici,
pate that the masses outside of OrtonvilAe
will give him such support.
Swift Co. Advocate
Capt. A. A. Brown, of Alexandria, is an
independent candidate for the State Senate
against Hon. H. w. Stone, Of Morris. In
our opirion the people should stand by Mr..
Stone, for it will be credit to the State as
we'll as to that Senatorial district to have
such men as Mr. Stone in that body; and
besides A. A. Browns record IN the New

no credit to the people of that district to
be represented by him.
