THE CONTESTED SEdT

The GLOBE publishes this morning MI.
Donnelly's notice of contest which he has
served upon Mr.. Washburr. Those who
have been skeptical relative to this promised
contest will be SO no longer.
The usual walls Of wrath will undoubtedly
be poured out upon Mr.. Donnelly's head for
engaging in this matter, but all right minded
persons, regardless of party, will endorse the
movement. 1t is not an effort, as some as
sumo, to thwart the will of the people, for
the will of the people, if free and untram-
rnelled, was decidedly against Mr.. Washburn.
Because the arbitrary and partisan canvass
ing board returned three thousand majority
for Washburn, it does not follow that there
is no ground for contest. The question to
be proven is not that three thousand specific
votes were Illegal but that improper and
corrupt means were resorted to for the pur-
pose of carrying the election, and that the
entire result was Initiated thereby.
There is not an honest and INTELLIGENT
man in the State of Minnesota who will, on
oath, declare that Mr.. Washburn would have
secured the certificate Of election if he had
not made liberal use of money. The nomi-
nation and election were bought and
hribed from the start. As
the GLOBE has repeatedly stated
it is not whether DonnelIy or Washburn
shall 60 to Congress, but whether rich and
corrupt men shall buy their seats against the
legitimate wishes of the people Every one
knows thet Gen, Averill Was The choice Q!

the Republican party and of the majority Of
the people in this district in 1874. The
nomination was bought away from him and
the election was bought and stolen away
from the Democrats. There were sufi-
Gent number of Republicans who either
remained at home or voted directly for
Wilson, the Democratic nominee,
in 1874, to have elected him
If the ''strumpet of corruption had
not stalked in naked horror through the dis
tr1ct.''
Matters have reached such state that nc
poor and honest man can go to Congress
from this district. Though the Republicans
are in the ascendency their tried and hon
ored men are taboed. No honorable Repub-
ilcan can secure the nomination for Con-
gress. DR.. Stewart, to his honor be it said,
refused to engage in a corrupt contest fo1
the nomination with Mr.. Washburn, though
he knew that defeat was certain if he pur-
sued an honorable course. He
wisely preferred defeat and honor
to success and dishonor. II
the mon who obtain Office by these cor
rnpt means are allowed to hold their posi-
tons without exposure, they become still
more bold and infamous in their yillainy.
Mr.. Washburn bought his seat in Congress,
and he knows it. If he is allowed to retain
his seat he will perpetuate himself in Office
two years hence by grander scale of vii.
lalny than that which he resorted to in 1873.
No respectable Republican will have the
slightest chance to rise even though the dis
trict should, at heart. stand ten to one in his
favor.
This contest is war upon these Infamous
ly corrupt practices. We are not anxious
that the seat shall be taken away from
Washburn and given to Donnelly. If a
vacancy should be declared, and new cleo
ton ordered, we should be entirely satisfied.
A new election would quite likely result in
sending Republican to Congress from the
district, but he would not buy his election.
If Mr.. Washburn is driven into private life
in disgrace, it will purify the politics of
Minnesota for a quarter of century
at least. The GLOBE has no par
tisan ends to serve in urging this
contest. We desire the opportunity to have
fair and square contests for political su-
premacy. IF the people are against us, we
bow to their will without murmur, but we
object to taking the ballot box out of the
hands of the people and placing it in the
control of corrupt villains, whose aim in Sc
curing office is public plumber, who will use
their official positions to rob the treasury
and devote the peoples money which they
steal to again buying renewal of their
positions. Washburn's public disgrace
is imperatively demanded by every
public interest. Mr., Donnelly is entitled to
the thanks of the public for giving the op-
portunity to purify the ballot box. While
seeking, Of course to advance himself, he is
really renderinga public service. With this
contest vigorously pushed we shall have
purified political atmosphere.
The GLOBE again renews its prediction
that W. D. Washburn will not retain his
purchased seat in Congress.

The Toledo BIade, radical Republican,
trnthfully remarks that it will be time enough
for Hayes ''to talk of insufficient powers
when he exhausts, or even attempts to use,
such power as he may already have. Thus
far he has not evinced any disposition to do
this. Had he done SO. he would have found
even before this that an American President,
really striving to do his duty, has more di-
rect power than any potentate on earth" It
is fact that is generally overlooked that
the President of the United States has more
arbitrary powers than are committed even
to the car Of Russia. And yet nearly half
of the people Of the country think he has
not power enough, and speak sneeringly of
the despotisms of Europe that are far more
amenable to the people than is our own gov
eminent.
