ed: ..-.. ~
Resolved, That monopoly, especially
railroad and land monopoly. Ii tl,t
principal grievance from which thu
people Ut this portion of the state suf
fer; that such monopoly is felt in ex
l'orbitant freigl,ts and in q vast land
interest which pays no taxes. and that
the same monopoly dictates the selec'
ton of Representatives in the state
Legislature aud frequently Ut county
officers.
Resolved, That political reform Is the
duty Of the hour and that neither the
party lash nor the influence Of politi.
clans and mOnOp0lists should control
the votes Ut the people for men and
measures which are against the inter.
ests Of the people at large.
Resolved, That We will oppose the ef.
forts of all railroad, land and monied
combinations to control and manage
our local political affairs.
Resolved, That the principle and ba.
sis Of taxation should he 50 adjusted
that it shall be enforced alike against

Resolved. That upon a fair nOmina.
tiOn Of candidates depends a free ballot
at the polls; tina. q disregard Of the
choice of the electors in the selection of
candidates for Office is an ahridRement
of the elective franchise and. that a
free ballot necessarily extends to a free
expression of the will Of the people in
all political affairs. and we therefore
deny that nominations made bv the
few, contrary to the wish and choice of
the many. are binding upon the electors
OF any political party.

THE" "UNjfITIGATED OUTRAGE"
Hon. s. p. Jemnisom, one of the Re
publican State Committee and editor ol
the Goodhue County Republican, thu.
tersely puts the case as between Ward
and Dumnell in this district:
From the Goothue Cou:. .ty Republican.
The Dunnell men claim the regularit,
of their proc> edings in the first district
on insufficient grounds. 1t is cOncxded
on their part that u bogus protest wa.
got up against tie twelve delegates from
Freedom county. 1t is conceded thai
the Dunnell majority it, the comm,ttet
adopted resolutions to exclude contest
ed delegations from voting on the pre-
liminary organization. 1t is conceded
that both these acts were done to secure
| control of the convention. 1t is alst
conceded that the committee inst ruct
I'd the chairman to nominate E. $
Yonmans Cor temporary chairman. II
was also resolved by tile Dum,,rll men
the chairman adopting their instruct
ions, to force vote on that nomi,.a
ton and permit no other.
The first admitted act, throwing oul
genuine and uucontcsted delegates by .
trick, was an unmitigated outrage b,
the men whose official positions sho,,l.
have bound them not to do any thing
unfairly. The second was a more Ordi
nary trick. it would appear, for it wa:
played in Mower county in the present
contest, but yet it was trick the pur
pose of which was to secure tie organ
iZat ion or cause Il split.
Under the circumstances the Repub
licans Of the First District will un
doubtedly decide that a deliberat,
wrong by the accomplices of man fv,
times honored will outweigh the error!
of impulse into which such wrongs ma,
have driven the friends Of other equal,
worthy Republicans. Mr.. Ward la!
dore quite enough in Offering to stel
down and out with Mr.. Dunnell.
SOME STRONG CHARG ES AGAINST Mr.
DUNN ELL.
The chief criticism which tie noisl
adherents OF Mr.. Ward advance agains
Dunnell is that they do not like Ills po
litical ''metI,ods." They anin,adyer
strongly not only on his course o; sys
tenn OF controlling the district in III:
interest Dy obtaining appointment fol
those who are expected to support him
but upon tie fact that he has held Iii.
office for several terms, and ought t.
give place to 4 new man.-Emterprise
No SO. We charge that he voted fol
back pay, denied his vote and took thu
money.
We charge that lie has uniformly vot
ed with the monOpolists in Congress
and against free trade.
We charge that he borrowed $500 oi
