A Change for Peace.

The anti.Dunnell papers all over the
district are begging and imploring Mark
II. Dunnell to withdraw for the sake of
peace AID for the prosperity and welfare
of the Republican party. W. G. Ward
has invited him to step out and gives him
five days 10 send in an answer. The
Minneapolis Tribune expresses our views
on this question exactly, hence we copy
them IN full:
Mr.. Ward has written letter to Mr..
Dunnell proposing settlement of the
differences existing in the politics of the
First district by q withdrawal both of
himself and Mr.. Dunnell as candidates
for congress, and the selection by new
convention of q third person upon whom
the republicans of the district can harmo-
nize. The text of Mr.. Wards PROPOSE
ton to Mr.. Dunnell is as follows:
THAT each Of US withdraw definitely
as; a candidate under the present nomina-
tons; and also that each Of US withdraw
as, and pledge himself not to be candi-
date for nomination by another cOnven-
ton; that some new man upon whom the
party can unite be placed in nomination
by new convention, to be called by the
present congressional committees, If such
be deemed the better methOd-meaning
hereby that the new convention shall be
selected by the people Of each county,
and that there shall not be re.assem.
blsge Of the convention which was re-
Gently held"
The proposition of Mr.. Ward, although
not likely to be accepted in all it's terms,
by his opponent, Is nevertheless tender,
aud as such will probably be considered.
We have reason to believe that Mr.. Dun
nell while he considers himself the regu-
lar and legitimate nominee of the repub.
licans of his district, is nevertheless ar.
DENLY DESTROYS of q peaceful settlement
of the existing difficulties, and will 60 al
far in that direction as the circumstances
will warrant. Should he be willing to
comply with Mr.. Wards proposition, we'll.
II not, he will doubtless submit another
to which he will subscribe; and ii neither
can agree npOn a plan emanating from
the other, they may both consent 10 ref.
erence to some sort Of tribunal or com.
mlttee Of arbitration which shall develop
4 plan acceptable to both, and from which
peace may result. We see no reason why
such plan need necessarily comprehend
the withdrawal of both candidates. What
lie more desirable, it strikes US, is the de-
velopment of tie preferences Of major
sity of the people upon the subject If
they desire that one or the other of the
candidates now before them shall remain
In the field, their wishes should be res
5neciad. and in case Of q new convention.

ton.

She told Ter story with the sim
plicity of a child, us she was, but
there was Il dlrectness about it
which carried conviction of its truth
to every heart. She was rigidly
cross-examined. The counsel piled
her with infinite and ingenious
questioning, but she varied from
her first statement i'll nothing. The
truth, as spoken By that little child,
was sublime.
Falsehood and perjury had pre-
ceded her testimony. The prisoner
had intrenched himself III hes, till

favor, and villainv had manufac-

scattered like chatf.

mother had prayed for strength to
be given her to speak the truth as
it was before God, broke the cum
ming devices Of matured vlllniny 10
pieces like Il potters vessel. The
strength that her mother prayed
for was given her, and the sublime
and terrible simplicity-te terrible, /
mean, to the prisoner and his asso-
ciates-with which she spoke, was
like Il revelation from God himself.
