Pecun1ary interests at stake in his election
interests SO great that they could aceU afford 10
spend tens Of thousands of dollars to hare Con-
gresham IN Washington sohon1 then could rein
on to PROTECT THEM FROM EXPOSURE and
from the apprehended necessity of being called
upon to answer for the FRAUDS THEY HAVE
CohMITTED, and by which they have profit
ed. We know that some of these men have been
tne most active agents and friends of Mr.
Washburn In the canvass which has been going
on for the last six or seven months in his inter-
est They have been his ardent friends for
years. They want him elected less ON his ac-
count than on their own; for Washsurn is a
man to stick by his friends, and they know
they can rely on his personal friendship and his
gratitude for their zeal and devotion to his
political interests to avert the Mtrade,5olt that
threatens to crush them. Now it hap
pens by a curious coincidence that the very
men who have been managing Washburn's CAM
palgn for him are also the very men who, in
his interest, repudiated the binding authority
of the legislative caucus, after they had pledged
themselves by solemn resolution to abide its
decisions.''
TOO MUCH LIKE BILL KING.
On the End of July special telegram
from Rush City to the PIP. read as follows:
This campaign smacks too much of the
Bill King order to suit many Republicans
know of, and predict music in the air here
after.''
HOW he BOUGHT THE OTTER TAIL DELEGATION.
This honorable gentleman, who swindles
his creditors, plumbers the government and
robs the farmers, has the means to buy up
conventions, and here is the way he secured
Otter Tail county against DR.. Stewart. A
Fergus Falls letter of July Sd to the p. p.
says:
The Republican convention, held here to-
day, has just elected Washburn delegation.
This convention was most striking offspring
OF that corrupt and bold marketable
system of political working introduced
into this district during the famous Averill-
hlng campaign in 1874. We are informed that
our ex-sherif, sergeant-at-arms of the Senate
IN conjunction with our ex-auditor, superin-
tendent of the citys most fourishing Sabbath
school, who is also candidate for the Senate,
we're the streets OPENLY BIDDING FOR
DELEGATES, and offering to
pay their expenses, etc., to and from Mime
apolis. \ With DR.. Stewart for leader of
IN independent candidacy, the people of this
district will demonstrate the fact that no
JAIL BIRD FROM MANITOBA can force
Upon the Third Congressional district of Min
lesota an INCUBUS SO UNSAVORY."
STEWARDS FRIENDS JUSTIFIED IN Bo1r1Na.
And here is recommendation from Bill
Kings paper that the Stewart men should |
BOLT owing to Washburn's corrupt practices
Editorial Pioneer Press. July 6.I
The Pioneer Press has said that it had been |
informed at second hand that DR.. Stewart had |
expressed an intention to run as an independ- |
mt candidate on the ground that the conven-
ion had been packed by corrupt and dishonest
means, and the Pioneer Press has
urther remarked that if they
efficient evidence, it would justify the Repub-
leans of the district in rspudiating the decis-
on of such a convention which, BESIDES was
ainted with RADICAL. UNFA1RNEss AND ILLEGAL
TY in the very basis of it's representative con-
titution."
THE OUTRAGE ON DIR. STEWART.
Friends of DR.. Stewart before deciding to
'ote for Washburn should read the following
EDITORIAL of the p. p, July 10:
SIT was generally conceded that Mr. Wash
'urn's domination was more than probable |
when the district committee, carefully packed |
or this purpose by its chairman, suddenly
alled the convention at SO early date as to
ors tall any efforts which DR.. Stewart might |
make to overcome the already large odds |
srainst him, while to those odds still greatar !
odds were added by an untai,. and
Illegal apportionnent, made in violation of I'll |
established rule and precedent. by which so
,reat preponderance OF delegates were secured
20 Mr.. Wasburn at the outset, as to render
nearly hopeless any canvass in DR.. Stewart s in
crest. 4 For the first time in the politi-
'al history of this State the congressman who
las served one term, is to-day to be DENIED
DENOMINATION the convention in nomin-
lting Washburn will thus virtually pass SEN |
rENCE OF CONTEMPLATION ON Dr. STEWART,
