The following is what the Chicago
Inter ocean of last Saturday says up
on the Congressional question now
pending in the First and Second Dis
tricts of Minnesota:
In the estimates that are now made
by the Republican papers of the gain
of congressman, which will give the
control of the House of Representa-
ives To the Republicans, no attention
has yet been given To Il certain gain
of one district in the State Of Mime
sofa. In the Second District, now
represented by Mr.. Poehler, Demo-
Crat, the Republican candidate will
undoubtedly be elected. Unless the
First District where two Republicans
are in the field, shall fail in its duty,
this gain is certain. In the minds of
the great body of Republicans of the
state and I'LL impartial observers in
that district there has never been
doubt that the Hon. NJ. III. Dunnell
was the regularly nominated candidate
Of his party. The following of Mr..
Ward who also claims to be candi-
date, seems to he measured only by
the extent of the dissatisfaction
which prevails over Mr.. Dunnell's
distribution of patronage. In this
the masses of the party can have little
interest, and should pay less atten-
ton. The prospects for regaining
control of the House are made bright
10y the splendid results in Ohio and
Indiana. and it would he Il criminal
mistake now To Offset the recovery of
the Second District of Minnesota by
dividing and squandering Il Republic
can majority of 1900 in the First Dis.
trict. Not even the most bitter parti-
san of Mr.. Ward expects his election.
They are engaged apparently in the
game of getting even" and their
only hope of success lies in the belief
that they can take away from Mr..
Dmncl! enough votes to make the
solid Democratic vote of the District
4 plurality over all. 1t is gratifying
10 note. however, that the Republic
can voters OF the District seem quick
10 see the point, and the current,
which has along been toward Dunnell,
will undoubtedly gather new strength
from til" Congressional gains III Ohio
and Indiana.

The recent severe storm reached
over large territory, and done great
damage on both land and water. On
the lakes large numbers Of vessels
were lost with all Oh board; telegraph
lines were blown down, shutting off
communication; railroad trains were
blocked for days; stock persisted and
general CONSERVATION prevailed. No
such storm was ever known before,
consequently no preparations were
made to guard against such n contin
gcncy.

III MS SptcCIl dI lloClltSJcI Oh SdU
urday evening, Senator Window went
so far in his reference to the con
grcSSiOnal division in this district as
To declare that the support of Mr.
Dunncll was IN imperative party duty
and that, in accordance with this
conviction. he should himself vote
for Mr.. Dunnell and advise his friends
to do likewise. Every consideration
of minor nature, he said, should be
made to yield to the transcendent
obligation to send Republican to
Congress from this district, and rs
that result can now he accomplished
only through concentration of the
Republican strength upon Mr.Dunnell
no other course should be for a mo.
mcnt thought of. The sentiment was
ychcmcntly applauded in Rochester,
as it will be wherever, throughout
the district, the magnitude of the
stake now ut issue i'm the country is
intclIigcntly realized.-Winona Re.

Our Comfy Ticket.

The Republican County ticket is an
uneXceptionable one this fall, and
should receive the hearty cooperation
of every Republican in the county in
bringing it to II successful termina-
tom The judicious selection OF prop.
cr candidates by the party in their
convention, should be II sufficient
recommend for the party to stand by
them at the polls. a convention of
delegates from the various districts
in the county is supposed to repre-
sent the wishes and ideas of their
people, and their actions in making
nominations ought to insure unanim'
ity of support by all those who par
ticipated in forming the convention.
Tho Republicans of Blue Earth
County are in the majority by sever
nj hundred, and when their party
places in nomination, men of unQues
toned qualifications and ability, they
should consider il their bounden duty
TO stand united 10y them. While WI
have nothing to say derogatory of ON
opponents who have for years held
the most lucrative positions in The
county, and who have held then
through the lenency of the Republi
cans, yet, when we have men nom
mated for the same positions in on
own party, possessing, Us they do THU
fall, equal ability, equal qualifications
and equal integrity to the Democratic
nominees, it is proper, it is right
and it is authoritative, they he support
Ell by their party. DO the Republi
cans for moment suppose that L
the opposite party were in the major
ity in this county. they would exhi
bit any disposition to help FORWARD
the success of II candidate in the Re
publican ranks in preference to thei

Logan Confident of the Generals Nomi-
notwithstanding Opposed to All the
Senatorial Candidates.
New YORK. June A Chicago special to
the Telegram Esays Senator Logan said this
morning: "We are not discouraged in the
least, but more confident than ever That was
not a fair test vote, though we had been seek
ing opportunity for test. Our friends did not
understand it, and we had no time to correct
the misunderstanding. l tell you, sir, it was
in no sense test. They lnassed the combined
forces against u.s. carrying with them all they
could break Eoff from the Grant column
Could that combination unite upon a candi-
date?
Where will they be when they shall under
take to consolidate upon any one cadidate?
We have solid vote of 1916, and reserve
which is sufficient to give the nomination to
General Grant don't think we will try to
put our candidate through on the first ballot.
for reasons need not explain
The Posts special from Chicago says Mr..
Edmunds was regarded very strong candi-
date until Vermont voted solidly with the
Grant people yesterday. Mr.. Garfield was al
so held to be good port in case of a storm,
but his action in the convention has not been
satisfactory to the Grant opposition. 1t is be-
lieved that Mr.. Conkling will endeavor to
throw the nomination of the list of Senatorial
candidates altogether if Grant should be de-
feated and ii he can prolong debate till ev-
oIypouy ID liIeu out, uo udy accomplish tn1S.
A prominent Grant man said last night that if
his people could stave off vote on candidates
long enough ito find out beyond reasonable
doubt that Grant cannot be nominated, his
name would not be presented at all.
WASHINGTON. June 4.-The Baltimore Sun
in its Washington special thus summarizes the
Chicago situations: The Grant strength has
been so solidifed that it will hold together to
the end, and can be thrown in any direction
to suit the purposes of the leader. Also, that a
number of Blaine delegates from several
States, will leave him after one or two ballots;
that in certain contingencies Grant will got ali
or nearly all of Massachusetts, and that the
disposition of the Grant men is to concentrate
on Edmunds at any time when convinced that
say that Blaine will poll his full strength on
the first ballot, and very exciting time is an
ticipated tomorrow.
