To the Editor of tho Globe:
RED VINO, Sept. 2.-Allow me to suggest
the name Of Hon. E. W. Durant, of Saltwater
~ q man for standard bearer of the Democracy
in the present canvas. The st. Croix valley
has never had the Governor and very little else.
1t has been as much ignored by the Republic
cans as Southern Minnesota. Mr.. Durant is a
gentleman of ability and popularity. He is
man in whom the people can have confidence,
and, believe. a careful consideration of his
qualifications will result in his securing the
nomination. At all events no harm can come
from little boom for Duraut. HARD SHE'LL,
