of Union College, New York, is compar-
atively ALI old resident of the State, is u
gentleman of culture and means, has IL
bly, represented his county in the State
Senate. was Il delegate to the National
convention at Cincinnati four years ago,
and is i'll every respect worthy to be the
standard bearer of the Republican hosts
in the present canvass. The Republic
invariably supports regular Republican
nominees and is conscientious in the
support of Mr.. Ward. What wesay dur
ing the canvass will he said in what it
believes to be in the interest of the Re-
| publican party. It will not deal in mud
Singing, but will endeavor to discuss
the issues in Il dignifed manner, and
enforce its comments by fairness and
undisputed argument and facts. Many
predict that Mr.. Dunnell will see the
deep and indignant opposition to his
longer representing the district and in
the interest of peace and harmony, and
as duty he owes to the party that has
so long conferred honor upon him, and
from the further fact that he cannot
find fault at past treatment, will finally
withdraw and await any future trust
that circumstances might bring to him.

say: "Whom the Gods would destroy,

There is no doubt, in our view of the

! nominee, and us such, should receive
the support Of all Republicans who de-
sire party success.

near as we can learn, these were all
backed up in their position toward Mr..
Dunnell by the sentiment of a majority
of the Republicans in these counties.
Iheie were, also, in the first named
counties, as many as 5 in Fillmore, in
Dodge, or in Waseca, or 2 III Fari-

second choice. No difficulty existed, of
his having good majority. with fair
dealing. But to thwart this Page had

get control of the organization of the
convention. There had been talk of a
contesting delegation from Freeborn.
This was the status of things when the
delegates began to arrive in Waseca.

We have only time this week to an
nOunce the nomination yesterday at
Waseca, of the Hon. NJ. II. Dunnell by
4 clear majority of the honest, regular
~ elected delegates to that convention.
There was split in the convention and
the anti-Dunnellites nominated Hon,
&. ". Ward, OF Waseca, as their cand-
idate. OF course, we claim Mr.. Dunnell
us the regular candidate, and shall use
all honorable means to secure his cleo
ton in November.

The congressional convention 1T Wa
SEGA yesterday resulted in split, owing
to the attempt OF the Duunell men to
fost bogus delegation from this coun-
ty on the convention, and to impose a
chairman on the convention who was
chosen by the Dunnell majority on the
central committee thing which was
| never heard of before in any convention
in this State Hon. W. G. Ward Of
WaSeca was nominated by one and Dun
nell by the other. Full particulars next
