which had heretofore monopolized that
point. He was not aware of what precedent
had been SO far followed in the matter of an
portionment, and consequently could not ex-
press an opinion upon the action of the Min
neapolis committee in the premises. He
thought, however, that, if the representation
in the congressional district convention had
always been apportioned upon the vote of
the next preceding election, the same pre-
cedent should have been rigidly adhered to
in the present instance. He was, though,
quite amused on learning that Washington
county, with such large city as Saltwater
within its borders. and always returning a
greater or less Republican majority, mixed
although the county politics were, should yet
have no larger representation than Chisago
county, to which he himself belonged.
Chisago county was, in Mr.. Folsom's own
language, 'always black, and could always
be depended upon as being black.'' AS be-
tween Mr.. Washburn and Mr.. Stewart,
Chisago would be inevitably split, although
it might be somewhat premature to say so at
this early stage of the proceedings. Still it
was his judgment now that such would be
the case.

Horace Thompson. ESQ.

The reporter also called upon Horace
Thompson, the banker, and one of the back
bones of the Republican organization in this
county. Mr.. Thompson was found very
busy, as he is usually, and the representative
had to wait some time before an opportunity
offered to apply his patent suction extractor.
The accepted time having arrived, the re-
porter proceeded to PROFOUND his queries
but had hardly commenced to reel them off
in the orthodox style, when he was stopped
by Mr.. Thompson, with: s'Well, now. nv
dear sir, will tell you the tauth, that have
been so busy to-day have not thought of
the matter of the call, and have nothing to
say about it. don say this to dodge, but
really having no knowledge of the facts, I
do not want to express an opinion
and then Mr.. Thompson stopped. The re-
porter feels satisfied, however, that Mr..
Thompson has read the call before this, and
that he will read the interviews in the GLOBE
of this morning, and that he is now in hearty
sympathy with those who express dissatis-
faction with the tenor of the call.

ton is made, when I shall
be satisfied to support who
ever is nomina ted by the Republican

The result will be satisfactory to me any,
way. am determined in all political mat
tiers to carry out strictly the instructions
which I had sent me from tho President,
which you can read.
With this he handed the reporter circu-
lar addressed to G. p. Barnard, deputy COL
lector, St. Paul, and signed r. B. Hayes It
contained this resolution: "No officer should
be required or permitted to take part in the
management of political organizations, eau
cuses, conventions or election campaigns.
Their right to vote and to express their
views on public questions, either orally or
through the press, is not denied, provided it
does not interfere with the discharge of their
official duties. No assessment for political

w. l.. Wilson.

Finding W. l.. Wilson, Esq, the reporter
asked that gentleman his opinion of the
action of the Republican committee of the
Third Congressional district.
Mr.. Wilson, on'twant to say anything
about it. They know me we'll enough over
there to know how stand on the matter
we had to fight this matter four years ago.
Reporter-What do you think of the ius-
tice of basing the call upon the vote of
1876?
Mr.. W.-Minneapolis is always doing
something of that kind, going back of all
former practice and routine. -Four years ago
they did the same thing, but some of the
outlying townships objected, that it was I'M
just to them. By this means Hennepin
gains five votes more than it is entitled to.
R.-As regards the place for holding
the convention, Mr.. Wilson?
MI. WI don't believe in trundling the
conventions round the State. I have no
objection to its being held in Minneapolis,
but do not think it advisable to go to St.
Cloud or Saltwater, as people could not so
jecting to Minneapolis, I would prefer St.
should be held in the Capital.
R.-Do you think July convenient time
in which to hold the convention?
Mr.. Wit should most certainly be put
off out of courtesy to Mr.. Stewart. It is
taking mean advantage of him. I would
like to see Washburn elected to Congress;
he would make a good member, and no
doubt his time would naturally come, but he
has an unfortunate way of trying to force
things and forestall events, and hence he
gets beaten. think if he would ssbide his
time" it would come in two years hence. DR..
Stewart has proved himself good man, and
he ought from mere precedent to be elected
a second time.

taken no interest in politics, but the action
OF the committee at Minneapolis was opposed
to the express vote of the convention four
years ago. The resolution was that the last
general election should be the basis. This

Samuel III. Nichols.

clerk of the supreme court, said Washburn
had been working for the congressional
nomination in this district for some time.
Washburn and his friends had commenced
as far back as last winter, during and at the
legislative session, and the same persistent
efforts had been extended all through the
district. Meanwhile, the friends of Stewart
had remained quite impassive-nothing
was done for him by his friends or by him
self. It was acknowledged that Stewart had
done his duty while in Congress, which was
usually considered sufficient reason for
denomination, but nobody seemed to stir it
up, as it should have been. It was probable,
too. that inside of all were other matters.
that did not now appear upon the surface,
such, for instance, as the contest for United
States Senator, but concerning which he
knew nothing. The action taken at Mime
apolis might have the possible effect of STIR
ring up Stewards friends, and, in the end,
OF increasing his chances in the race. While
Mr.. Nichols distinctly avoided any express
sion of preference for either candidate, he
believed that Stewart did not have the
inside track, simply because Washburn's
friends have been long at work like beavers,
while Stewards had remained iu active.

He has been District Judge and Senator
for the Rio Grande District. He has
lived in that district eight years, during
which time predatory warfare, by Mex
leo, against the property of Texans has
existed. The manner In which it has
been carried on has been so extensive as
to warrant the belief that it was with the
knowledge if not with the connivance of
the Mexican authorities. The raids have
been mostly for the purpose of stealing
cattle, but many of the most wanton and
cruel murders have been committed by
the marauding parties when necessary
to accomplish their object or prevent
discovery. United States Custom
Houses have been invaded, Postoffices
sacked and burned, the wealth of the
the country destroyed, citizens killed on
the highway and in the presence of their
families, and women violated on the Rio
Grande borders below Laredo to such

Of the Mexican population against the
border inhabitants has existed. But few
days, at any che time, have elapsed with
out the community being startled by the
news of the killing of citizens and the
driving of cattle into Mexico by the rob-
bers. These raids have extended into
the interior of Texas, distance of 100
miles from the border. Formerly the
stock raisers were in independent cir
cumstances, but now nearly all within
100 miles OF the Rio Grande are compar-
atively impoverished. 1t is a common
thing to find parties who a few years
since had considerable stock and now
have none. For about 100 miles back
from the river there has been almost a
total destruction of the cattle-weakh.
With the people who make these raids
the extradition treaty is no remedy, and
does not apply to the parties committing
them. - Washington Cor. Chicago
