FLETCHER,s WINsOME WAY.


The result of the Republican Third Dis
trict convention at Minneapolis yesterday
was so we'll known beforehand that the pro-
ceedings almost cease to be of interest.
Fletcher, Washburn and the other ssthree-
card monte tricksters'' set up the game long
ago, and yesterday merely witnessed the
passing over of the stakes. Ever since 1860
Washburn has dreamed about wearing the
brand, M. G.. For ten years he might be
said to have been an active candidate, inter-
spersing his desire for Congress with seat
In the legislature, an attempt to be Gov
ernor, &c. He is now in position
where he can be permanently squelched, and
the people will do we'll to put final
quietus on this chronic Office seeker.
Mr.. Washburn certainly has no reason to
be proud of his victory. With the exception
of Fletcher (who is little too sharp to be
caught) Mr.. Washburn's most active sup
porters have figured in the courts or in in
vestigating reports as pine land thieves. 1t
has been getting a little inconvenient of late,
after securing fine "catch" of pine, to be
brought into court on criminal charge to
answer for the offense. The pine land
ring, so far, have not been badly
hurt, our eminent civil service reform tax
ing good care that only minor Offend
ers were punished. Buu after all it
has been warning, and the heightened
lumberman who contributes literally to the
church on Sunday does not relish the idea
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-07-11

of answering in the criminal dock for what
he has been doing the other six days of the
week. Having taken the alarm, the next
move was to secure q tool and champion
In the Senate they already have Window,
and if the lowersHouse could also be afxed, .
the men who are robbing the government
could proceed with comparative impunity.
This gave Washburn strong backing from
the start, and judicious use of cash COM
pleted the job.
It was highly appropriate that the pine
land ring should select Mr.. Washburn as
their champion. He is one of them. When
surveyor general of the State he became the
"noblest Roman of them all in securing pine.
Taking advantage of his official position he
speculated as no one else could, and became
wealthy. A fellow feeling makes him Won
drous kind, and the ring have in him a
friend who will stand by them from the very
bottom of his heart.
Mr.. Washburn has no reason to be proud
of the empty nomination bestowed upon
him. 1t was not given him through admira-
ton or love. It was not given him because
of his pre-eminent abilities, for he is medic
ere at least. He was selected by the ring
because he was serviceable, and where the
sawdust influence did not reach, greenbacks
came in play and settled all doubt. These
elements were SO powerful that their success
has been a positive damage. It makes toe
great unanimity and leaves room for dis
cordant elements which might not exist i
the contest had been fair and close. AS it is
it is simply record of overwhelming fraut
perpetrated in the most bare-faced manner
We would remind Mr.. Washburne that i
is one thing to be nominated, and anotAel
! thing to be elected.

MILWAUKEE. July 1O.-The Council Union of

tenor of which was that no action should be

time to such as applied. Finally motion was
made to recommit the whole matter to the com

The Chicago Times has a high apprecia-
ton of the truth. 1t seems to regard it as
too sacred to be touched by profane hands,
and therefore avoids even the remotest asso-
citation with it. In recent issue the Times
says:
One of the great debts which the country
owes to the late Confederate House is the In
dian war, which-although already extensive
and bloody enough-is only begun. Had the
management of Indian affairs been placed in
the hands of the war department, this sum
mers outbreaks would not have occurred.
If the Times had read the proceedings of
Congress with any degree of care, it would
have ascertained that s.the Confederate
House, tried to transfer the Indian bureau
to the war department., and that it was the
Republican Senate which defeated the
scheme. It is, therefore, to the Senate, and
not to ''the Confederate House, that the
people owe the Indian war, if the Times
premises are correct.

highest, almost the single duty, of great

pies, and not to dictate nominations or con-
troll conventions" Which goes to show that
Bryant. although very good poet, was very
poor politician. OF what avail are the most
correct principles if the men chosen to en-
force them are not in accord with them?
The correct mission of a newspaper is not
only to enforce principles, but to see that
men are elected who will carry them out.

WILL HISTORY REPEAT 1rsErr,

In 1868, Mr.. w. D. Washburn was anxious
to go to Congress. The result was that the
Republicans divided and Democrat was
elected to Congress. He seems to have a
happy faculty of creating dissension, and we
rejoice to see it on pure moral grounds, for
he seeks to win by purchasing support, and
his failure is hitting rebuke. Ten years
have passed and Washburn again appears to
trouble the waters. If history should fully
repeat itself it would neither be surprise
nor calamity.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-07-11

WE understand that it is Mr.. Washburn's
programme to employ a large number of
agents to travel through the district from
now until the election. He designs to have
at least one in each county, and in the larger
counties several. Heproposes to use a large
number of Swedes and Norwegians in this
way to work among their countrymen, and
will pay literally for the service. AS mere
matter of rendering financial aid to large
number, his nomination is a good thing. He
is now engaged in making his selections of
workers for the campaign, as he proposes to
lose no time.

DIR. STEWART very wisely declined to allow
his name to be presented to the Washburn
gang yesterday. He was not candidate be-
fore such crowd. This leaves him free and
independent. He has labored industriously
and effectively as member of Congress, and
he is thrown overheard at the end of his first
term, not by the people, not by his constitu-
ents, but by gang of pine land sharks and
an ambitious parsonage who has money to
buy nominations. To appeal from such
knavery direct to the people, is consistent
with honor and self respect.

THOSE who know DR.. Stewart will not be
surprised at his avowed intention of appeal
ing to the people against the verdict of the
political harlots and Adventures" who yes
terday consummated the indignities that have
been heaped upon him. Bearing an honor
able record, he has been insulted, ibeled
and spit upon by the mercenary tools of the
man Washburn. The vilest ISLANDERS have
been circulated by them with the purpose of
lowering him in the esteem of his fellow
citizens. Whole delegations have been
bought up, like sheep in the shambles, to
declare him unworthy of the honor of repre-
senting this district in Congress. Under
such circumstances no man with any regard
for his reputation could do otherwise than
he has done. If it is his fate to be slaugh-
tered, it is far more honorable to die as did
Sampson, bringing destruction upon his
enemies, than to accept his fate supinely,
and by implication admit the truth of the
allegations against him.
