A CARPET BAeGER,s ILLUSION.

The distinguished carpet Dagger from Or
egon-Mr. Fitch-was a little unfortunate
in his allusion to the possible Democratic
candidate for Congress from this district as
being the possessor of barl. 1t is very
evident that the speaker was carpet Dagger
or he would never have invited comparisons
by making such remark. Mr.. Washbarn
and the gentleman alluded to as the candi-
ditate with bar'l, (who by the way don't
seek the Office, came to Minnesota, we be-
lieve, about the same time. Whatever Mr..
Kelly has obtained of this worlds goods, has
been by intelligent and industrious work and
good business management and sagacity. He
has never called his creditors together and trad
ed off a lot of stolen cats and dogs at fabu-
lous prices in payment of his debts, winding
up with trip to Europe for his health, and
the complainant announcement that three
hundred thousand dollars remained after the
settlement. Mr.. Kelly's bar'l has been OBJ
tanned in legitimate manner. he has made
his own way In the world, and was not, like
the titman of the royal family of Office
seeking Washburns, born with silver spoon
in his mouth. Mr.. Kelly don't belong to
the class of men who buy Congressional
seats and stand in with timber and other
thieves in general.

1UNNELL IND YARD.

Republicans Of the First district who try to
6x their choice between the two candidates
nominated at waseca by the machine test OF
regularity of nomination will be sadly en-
barrassed by contradictory claims and evil
dance. If they undertake to choose by the
o,,,,arent qualifications and disqualifcations
If the two men, they will be even more en-
barrassed. for while Mr.. Dunnell has had
Greater experience in public life and posses
So. tho secretiye habits which are in the COM
40, estimation associated with power and
abrewdness, he is undeniably SO unfortunate
40 To he continually weakening his party by
making enemies for himself among It's active

onan in manner and speech, though ne there
nv makes come enemies,yet gains more warm

he was first elected to Congress- and ms ed

81 least equal to MIR. Dunnell's in all the re-
ouirements for legislator.
But really, the contest between THESE TWO
candidates of one party in the tirst DISTRICT
is not IS to regularity of nomination OF the
personal qualifications and merits OF the two
men II is contest between the lns and

Ward. as Gen. Baker expressed It IN MS

cal year as against $2,217,9 $40 for the year

district, and is influenced by the feeling
that Mr. Dunnell having reduced two-thirds
the Republican majority in the district,
would, in two more terus of his rule make
the district Democratic. These leading Re-
publicans and many others of the party who
are more highly esteemed, who acted with
them at Wasecs, appeared to consider the
matter of legitimacy of nomination as of
secondary if not small Importance. They
have inaugurated contest within their
party, as they conceive, for the benefit of
their party, and which contest is strength
ened and embittered by the personal inter
ests involved on either side.
Mr.. Dunnell will be vigorously supported
by the Office holders of the district, includ-
ing the classes of Republican voters with
whom petty offices are the chief aims of life,
and the large constituency which follows
the Office holders or is controlled by their
methods of conducting political compaign.

him, largely representing the strongest Re.

intelligent elements of the party, are pledged
to sn active campaign. The whole Republi-
can vote will be called out, but it will be di-
vided probably nearly equally between the
two candidates.
1t is fight within the Republican party
with which Democrats of the First district
should have no sympsthies to turn them
from their duty 1t is their duty to take ad-
vantage of the situation. This they can do
by nominating for Congress some man who,
uniting with something of Dunnell's tact
something of Wards popular attributes, will
be able to meet either or both before the peo-
pie in discussion of the issues of the CAM
paign, and who will also have the faith or
zeal to influence him to make an earnest
contest. With such man the First district
can be won and Minnesota send solid
Democratic delegation to Congress to assist
in the apportionment of representation to be
based upon the pending census.

THE MINSEToNKA MURDER.

Verdict of the Coroner's Jury Finding
Capt. Halsted Guilty of Criminal NegIi-
gence.
The finding of the coroner's jury con-
sidering the responsibility for the recent
disaster at Lake Minnetonka, by the explo-
sion of tho boiler of the steamer Mary, was
filed through their foreman, D. G. Hunt,
with the county attorney yesterday. The
full text of the verdict finding Capt. Geo. B.
Halsted guilty of criminal negligence, is
given below. 1t now remains for the proper
officials to perform their duty. as provided
in the statutes, for the punishment of such
crimes. The following is the verdict:
STATE OF MINNESOTA,
An inquisition taken at Excelsior, Minneso-
ia, in the county of Hennepin, on the eighth
day of July, A. D.. 1880, before Petrus Nelson,
coroner of the said county of Hennepin, upon
view of the bodies OF P. d. Platenburg, William
Chadwick and Cornelius Gaines. lying there
dead, by the oaths of the jurors whose names
are hereunto subscribed, who being sworn to
inquire on behalf of the State of Minnesota,
when, how and by what means the said P. D.
Platenburg, William Chadwick and Cornelius
Gaines came to their death, upon their oaths
90 say: Ina5 IL was Dy the explosion OF the
boiler of the steamer Mary, on the first day of
July, A. D. 1880, at the dock of the st. Louis
House, on Lake Minnetonka. in the State of
Minnesota.
But we do not find from the evidence intro
duced before the jury that the engineer was
Incompetent, or that he was not careful and
faithful to his duty; bnt we do find that the
boiler was entirely unfit in material and de-
sign for the steam power required for steam
boat purposes, and that the owner, George B.
Halsted, was criminally negligent in not hav-
ing careful inspection of the boiler by COM
petent authority. We desire to call the atten-
tion of the Legislature to the urgent necessity
of putting the steam navigation of inland lakes
under legal surveillance similar to that exer-
cised by the general government upon our
rivers. PETRUs NELSON Coroner.

Barnum's Day.

The event of the season; the advent of
Barnum's "Greatest Show on Earth" will
take place to-day. A grand parade will take
place in the morning previous to the pitch
ing of the mammoth tents. From the mo-
ment the grand procession appears upon our
streets until the last act of the evening per-
formance, the veteran Snowman will be first
in the hearts of the children, and test vote
among the boys and girls Of st. Paul would
give him a good outlook for the Presidency.
The furore his great show has created in
Chicago and the Eastern cities is beyond all
precedent. The wonderful little foreigner,
Zazel, seems to have captured all classes, and
Barnum's audiences, this season, are COM
posed largely of people who never before
visited canvass exhibition. The Boston
Post says;
Barnum allows none to beat him, but
Barnum himself. This season the veteran
seems to have ecIipsed all previous efforts,
and the crowds each afternoon and evening
are unprecedented in the history Of Boston
amusements. Last evening after ten thou
sand tickets were sold the doors ware closed,
and it was estimated by the managers that
nearly as many were turned away. Zszel, as
usual, kept the vast audience spelI-bound
during her thrilling performance. As an il
lustration of nelve,4 daring and presence of
mind in sudden emergencies, her exhibition is
wonderful and will be discussed long after
the intrepid little foreigner has left US.
