BrOtI,ers,


I'm continuation of the Unanimous Con-
vention)
viii this thing never end2
Thus soliloquized the little editor, for
whom by his own thinking, the circus
giants overcoat wouldn't make vest.
The soliloquy of the mite-y will ap-
pear hereafter.
The big dog with the brass collar
came down.
And to see the small man with the
large bald spot.
Whose name is Gene.
1t was slightly sight to see "the
beast" of the Gazette, fall on the. neck
of the "insect" of the Democrat.
Even by the ears did they grasp
each other. t,..
And reconciled pair promised to be
the result of this meeting of the broth
ers.
But the little cuss would not be COM
forted.
For he had washed his hands of the
whole business.
And the trip of Bro. Brandon
Was i'm vain.
For the miller was obstinate and
would not yield.
Even at the command of the leader.
1t caused laughing on the street cor
ners to see these two'talk as brothers.
In a pleading tone did the leader
Brandon first speak.
For the sake of unanimity put UP
the name Wurzell at your mast head.
But he would not.
Then in a threatening tone he com
manded that it be done. '.r
"For" said he of the puffed out chest
"I am the leader"
And you shall be sorry.
But little breeches would not.
Even he of the scarcity of hair de-
fled the much bellied leader.
And as brothers they met but not as
brothers did they part.
Did not eleven stubborn men once
set with me in the jury room?
Did not triumph over them all?
And shall this one man terrify me?
NO.
And the name which the unani-
nous convention did proclaim is not
yet put up.
But,
He dare not hold out much longer.
Don't he hate to eat crow?
But he shall eat it. EH..E -4
Or his occupation is gone.
The unanimous Democracyjis great
And all the minstrels said amen.
The folly of l3 men debating tc

one what a verdict should be.
Hear the verdict.
This man is doing mischief.
For after all is done is not he the
only cause for all this trouble.
The blame shall be laid at the right
mans door.
And the whirlwind of Democratic
disgust shall whistle up the legs of his
pantaloons like the inquiring breeze
in the lazy mans vestments.
The battle shall be fought.
In solid front will the great unani
nous assemble on judgment day.
Which day Is Novel, .--
They will have nothing to do with
tritlers and fools.
For of one breed of cats is the "bol

And of the other is the unanimous
candidate.
But the people will set down on
both.
Until a flapjaclk shall looked thicker

The people of Elk will elect Dis

For the November gales win cause
more pain in his stomach than evel

Whether he was running or not will

Eschew ambition, o! Wurzell.
And stick to the base ball bat.

THE RFP. STATE CONVENTION.
Tho German Delegates Grossly In.
5=# suited. ].
Bsumbach Nominated Secretary
Of State by Fraud.

When last week we said that it
was safe to assume that Governor
Pillsbury and Col. Pf@nder were re-
nominated we made slight mistake,
and it grieyes us to be compelled to
chronicle the defeat of Col. Pfander.
But had his defeat been accomplish
ed in fair way we should cheerful
" abide by the result and heartily
support the ticket. This however
was not the case. His defeat was
brought about by treachery on the
part Of those who should have been
his warnlest friends. We do not
blame Mr.. Kittleson and his Scandi-
navian friends for bringing out
Baumbach, for therein lay their only
hope Of success; but never before in
the history Of the Republican party
of Minnesota was one nationality al
lowed to dictate who the candidate
of another nationality should be.
The German delegates were grossly
insulted by the convention. They
repeatedly stated that they were a
unite for Col. Pfander, that the Ger.
man Republicans Of Minnesota had
no other candidate, and that the en-
deavor to saddle Baumbach upon
them was Democratic trick. engi-
neered by Capt. A. A. Brown and
Capt. Albert Shelter, but all to no
avail. In order to slaughter Pf@n-
der it was of course necessary to de-
feat Mr.. jacobson, who had a very
respectable following in the conven-
tion of his nationality. But how
was it done! By damnable fraud.
The tellers reported that 213 votes
had been cast; 1O7 being for Baum.
bach, 105 for Jacobson and l blank.
The secretary who called the roll in
formed us that Hennepin county
mad only cast 10 votes and that AK.
en- and Scott counties had not voted
at all, which together made five del.
egates not voting, and showed to.
tai of 218 votes in the convention.
Now when we state that the conven-
ton had only PIG votes, everyone
will at once see that two fraudulent
votes were cast. The charge Of
fraud was made openly in the con.
vention by the friends of Jacobson
and Pfender, but so determined
were the Kittleson men that Baum
bach should be the nominee for Sec.
rotary of State that they cared not
whether he was nominated by fair
or foul means. When the German
delegates saw this gross injustice
practiced upon them they left the
convention in body, and the name
of Col. Pfander was not presented
at all. If the Republican party of
Minnesota thinks that all that is
necessary to catch the German votes
is to place German upon the ticket,
whether he represents their wishes
or not, they will find themselves bad.
" mistaken. It remains to be seen
if the friends of jacobson and Pfan-
der will quietly pass the insult by.
The German Republicans of Mime
sofa would have been far better sa.
tisfied if they had no representation
on the ticket ut all.

Special Telegram to the Pioneer Press
Ashville, N. G. Aug. 31.-Four
months past a large number Of Nor.
mons from Salt Lake City and other
portions Of Utah have been settling
in Cherokee, Clay and other Of the
far west counties Of this State, en-
deavoring to obtain a foothold and
as the people Of this vicinity fear,
with a view of controlling the local.
ity in which they settle. The lead
ers of Brigham Young's disciples at
once set about intoxicating their pc.
.culiar and revolving religious ideas,
and seeking to convert che rude but
honest people Of the mountains to
their views Of marital relations.
These efforts were directed especial.
~ to the female members of the
communities in which the new com.
ers have taken up their abode. This
so enraged the men that meetings
have been recently held and the
sMormons notified that they must
quit within three days. Failing to
do so, it is intimated that such means
would be adopted as would insure
their removal. The people are thor
onghly aroused, and seem to be de-.
tern,ined to make: things SO lively
.forithe lecherous carpet. baggers that
they can't remain. The Mormons
appealed to Gov. Jarvis to protect
them in their rights as citizens. In
answer to this appeal the governor
has promptly communicated with
the authorities in the counties in
which the mplainants live, direct.
ting them to see that everything is
done to protect the rights Of these
people, as guaranteed BY the laws Of
