Wards Albert Lea Conference NJ oetlng.
The Winona Republican in common.
ting on the proposition Of the Ward CON-
mittee, says: 1T is rendered perfectly
clear by the result OF the Albert Lea cou.
ference, what has been before gravely
suspected, that no compromise or attempt
at compromise, which does not involve
his removal from the field as candidate,
will satisfy Mr.. Dunnell's opponents. Of
course the proposition IS not offered in
the interest of Mr.. Ward, US it is not Of
tered In the interest Of Mr. Dunnell. 1t
is simply a game of political cut-throat,
in which its sponsors hope to slaughter
Mr.. Dunuell, wholly regardless Of what
fate might befall his present misguided
opponent We have before expressed the
belief that Mr.. Wards hackers were sick
of him and wished 10 get rid of him on
any terms that would not insure clear
field for Mr.. Dunnell. The off1cisl dccis-
ion of the Albert Lea meeting furnishes
strong corroborative evidence Of this be
lief, aud there is not lacking credible
outside testimony to the same effect. l,
is probable, nevertheless, that, much as
they desire to the contrary, they will
have to carry him through to the end OF
the adventurous journey on which they
have started-au end which bodies nc
good TO either HIM or them"

What ~ to bo Done Now?

Mr.. Ward, through his committee, has
refused to entertain Mr.. Dunnell's prop
ositicn to refer the proceedings of the
Waseca convention to the State Central
Committee, each one to abide by their
decision. A fairer proposition could not
have been made. Now let Mr.. Dunnell
act alone in the matter, and obtain the
decision of the State Central committee
on this question. An attempt to call a
new convention through the primaries,
is simply 10 make the fight far more bitter
than 1t is now, and when new conven.
,ion should announce its choice, there
would almost surely be dissatisfaction. 1t
looks now as if the settlement of nur diff
f1culties was to be ut the polls in Novem-
Der. Mr.. Dunnell has nothing to fear in
an appeal to the Central committee, or to
the ballot. He was fairly nominated at
Waseca. Already the sober sense Of this
district discovers the true inwardness of
the opposition to him. They see the real
wire-pullers behind Mr.. Ward. If Mr..
Dunnell now will obtain the decision of
the State Central committee, he will gain
the favor of all tair.minded Republicans.

The call for the first district Dem.

conservatives and other citizens, etc.
That is the gushing Democratic style this
year, anything or anybody for vote.
Well. the Democracy have right to be
hungry for Office, but Notwithstanding
our sympathy and their own frantic ex-
ertions, we fear that their fast must be
prolonged. The call further is for union
in an effort for pure economical and con-
stitutional government! Which may
mean as follows: Pure in the sense of
purely fictitious naturalization papers as
manufactured by Barnard and McCunn
IN New York. Economical even to starv-
ing out the government unless the chief
executive yields to threats. And oonstt-
tutional in giving only a part Of the peo-
pie voice in affairs at the south, and
that part the Democratic poor schite MI

1880 is no improvement over 1876. The
boosted freedom Of American institutions,
brings to the Republican voter at the
south no certain and inalienable rights,

still be found the bloodhound chaser,
