The appointment of DR.. Stewart to the

created great surprise and intense indigna
ton in Minneapolis, the headquarters of the
pine land ring. That ring was united in its
support of Washburn, and contributed Law

election. With Washburn in Congress, they
fondly hoped that they would be left alone to
do as they pleased. But, now that DR..

MoMURrE1E found it easy matter to
secure acceptable bonds for his position as
collector at Pembina. This was not espe-
cially personal to McMurtrie, but the busi-
ness of the United States courts in Minneso-
ia for the last fifteen years has been largely
devoted to prosecuting the bondsmen of Re-
publican officials and it is getting to be a
risky business on general principles. Just
at this time, too, the court has been endeav-
oring to collect $4,000 from the bondsmen
of Geo. F. Potter, former Pembina collect
and that brought it home to McMurtrie g
very closely. AS a rule, official bonds are
given without expecting to pay them even
if the liability clearly occurs. The bonds
men of Munich and Seeger proved an excep-
ton, however. They paid $15o,ooo to save
the Republican party of Minnesota from
ruin and the kicks and cuffs they have re-
oeived makes them sorry they did it.

he raised, for the good of the party during

several of the States the contributions we're
paid directly to the local committees, and as
to their total he had no knowledge. Except
as to the amount, no news is contained in
his statements. Every man in the country
knew that these contributions were being
levied, and that, as matter of course, they
were paid. Some stress is made by Dem
