AUG HANDLE PROPOSITION.


The Dunnell committee which met at
Owatonna on Tuesday and finished its labors
yesterday, has done just about what might
have been expected. Dunnell might just
as appropriately have referred the honorable
and manly letter of Mr.. Ward to himself.
The committee were simply puppets in
Dunnell's hands and having been appointed
by the minority rump which placed Dunnell
in the field, had no real authority to represent
the party-certainly not when treating with
Mr.. Ward, the regular and legitimate candi-
didate.
Instead of meeting the proposition square
Iy and fairly as it deserved, MIR. Dunnell re-
sorted to the shameful dodge of referring
the matter to the State committee, which ID
composed as follows:
Russell Blakely, st. Paul, chairman; s. P.
Jennison, Red Wing; G. Amundson, st. Peter;
J. T. Williams, Mankato; W. W. Braden,
Preston; Frank NJ. Thornton, Benson; W. w.
Spaulding, Duluth; @. w. johnson, MInneapo-
lis; W. 81. Houlton, Elk River; D. Sinclair
Winona; John Gorham, Rice Lake; E. B..
Smith, LIE Sueur.
OF this committee but three are residents
of the First District, and at least eight of the
twelve are certainly favorable to Dunnell.
No wonder that Mr.. Dunnell is willing to
submit his case to such committee.
The public have not forgotten the packed
manner in which this committee was selected.
The committee was appointed in 1879 as
the representative of the Ramsey PllIsbury
fossil element of the party. That crowd had
full control of the Republican State conven-
ton last year and could name any committee
they pleased. This year the Davis Blaine
element of the party really had the control
of the State convention, but they were out
generated. They designed, however, to ap-
point new committee of their own,
but pending a motion for a
new committee, some of the old gang sprung
motion to continue Capt. Blakely and his
crowd another year. Yale, the chairman of
the convention, who was in the plot, put the
motion and declared it carried like flash.
The Davis Blaine element with which Mr..
Ward acted, was snuffed out in moment,
and it is this committee to which Dunnell
asks Ward to submit his claims. Wards
reply gives evidence that he understands
the trick and does not propose to be caught
tapping. He accordingls offsets the action
of the Dunnell rump committee by referring
the matter to his own Ward rump commit,
tee. If the matter should finally 60 to the
State committee, Dunnell would be retained
| at once and Ward would be wiped out. II
Hooks now as though the lack of harmony
| was to continue.

Forte Wayne. Freeze came here several years

then went to Muncie, where he is
alleged to have stolen catheter belonging to
physician. He was arrested and the mother
in-law and others became snreties and released
him, he coming back to this city. Late devel-

handsome daughter of one of our councilmen,
and she is said to be encient. On hearing the
fact Freezes bondsmen surrendered him to the
sheriff of Delaware county and the prisoner
was taken to Muncie this morning 1t is said

GRANT is Il BULLDOZER,

Gen. Grant, as President of the National
Association of Boys in Blue, or some such Or
ganization, has issued an 'order" to the
members commanding them to rally to the
support of Gen. Garfield, the Republican
candidate for President. The organization
is political one, all the members being
pledged to vote the Republican ticket at all
times. Since the nomination of Gen. Han
cock, however, the assertions have become
so numerous as to alarm the party managers,
and hence the heroic measures adopted to
rally the scattering forces.
Secret political societies are never OF bene-
fit to the country, especially when organized
on the plan of the "Boys in Blue" which is
the theory that the Republican party can do
no wrong. The members surrender their
own independence into the hands of few
designing and unscrupulous politicians, and
allow them to do their thinking and to die
tate whom they shall vote for. A candidate
VIGOROUSLY dishonest and unfit may be nomi-
mated, and yet the "Boys in Blue" will be
forced to support him if he wears the Re-
publican party collar, or surrender their
membership in the organization and submit
TO social and business ostracism-a species
of buildozing little if any better than the
shotgun policy. 1t is surprising that men
of the intelligence that characterized a ma
iority of those who composed our army
should consent to throw away their right to
freedom of action in SO Important matter
as the election of the principal officers of
the government. 1t certainly reflects no
honor upon their manhood.
1t is gratifying to learn that great many
of the "Boys in Blue" have refused to be
governed by the trioksters who rule the or.
ganization, and have openly avowed them
selves as favorable to the election of Gen.
Hancock, than whom nobler boy in blue
does not exist. Gen. Pearson, of Pitts
burgh. one of the executive officers of the So
ciety, was one of the first to declare himself,
and in Pennsylvania alone has found over
thousand followers who prefer to vote for
soldier whose deeds of daring were per-
formed upon the field of battle rather than
for one who left the army before he had
learned the smell of powder. 1t is exceed
ingly doubtful if even the "order'' OF Gen.
Grant will reclaim these men to their ale
glance to party which has repudiated all
the promises it ever made to the soldiers.
and delights to honor emily those who re-
manned at the rear to profit by the distress
OF the country. The time has gone by for
such organizations as the "Boys in Blue'' to
have their effects on the politics of the
country. A vast majority of intelligent
men prefer to do their own thinking, and
to act as their judgment impeIs them with
out regard as to whether this or that am
bilious politician is to be benefited by their
vote. Gen. Grant appears to very poor ad-

To the Editor of the Globe.
RED WING, July "a, 1ss0.-You, and ev-
erybody else outside Of Minneapolis, are
prompt to take the supervisor of the Second
district (?) sharply to task for his alleged I'M
fairness and dishonesty in his census work
and report for that city. Is this quite just
to Mr.. Johnson? do not believe his fig
ures with reference to Minneapolis
are either fair or true, or hon
est, but the responsibility should be
placed where it belongs. The fact is the
Republican members of Congress from this
State Senator MCMILLAN included) are pri-
marily responsible for this iniquity. If
am not in error, the country, for census pur-
poses, is divided into districts, and as gen.
eral proposition, each Congressional district
making a census district. In Min
nesota We have three Congress
sional districts, three census districts and
three supervisors. PLAN man, like myself,
would naturally suppose each Congressional
district would remain intact with supervi-
sor for, and residing in each. The first and
third districts have esch supervisor, the
one residing in Rochester and the other in
st. Paul. This course wonld leave Minnea-
polls and her census in the hands of super
visor living in the rival city of ST. Paul.
For some reason Hennepin county, part
of the third district, was carved out of
the third, and, like an unnatural and repul-
sive wart, attached to the second district.
Why? For what reason? 1t is believed no
other like case can be found.
There are many thoughtful Republicans
in the second district who look upon this act
as gross and deliberate insult. They think,
Notwithstanding the apparent opinion to the
contrary of Messrs. Window, Mcmillan,
Dunnell and Washburn, that it was possible
to find some one Republican in the district
equal to the duties of the position. Here
again l must beg leave to say that,
in my judgement, injustice to some
extent is done. The truth without
doubt is simply this, Washburn, King & Co.,
of Minneapolis, looking at the main chance,
as between that city and st. Paul, concocted
this trick with the special object of securing
for some Minneapolis lackey the position of
for the purpose, mainly, of secur
ing precisely what has been secured, q
swollen and false report, and, incidentally, of
providing for such fellow ga place. "
Messrs. Mcmillan and others acquiesced in

HARVESTING.

First Receipts of Barley-Two Hundred
Progress of Harvest In the Southwest
Counties.
Barly samples of this years crop have
been received here this week from White
Bear, Langdon, Hastings, and several other
near by places, and two sales and deliveries
are reported. AS rule the samples shown
here are very fine, the berries being plump
and solid and quite clear in color. Only one
sample (from Langdon) was seriously dis
colored. This crop sold at 45c. The crop

bushels, sold at 55c If this grain had been
stacked and gone through the natural sweat
ing process in the stack, it would have
sold 5@1Oc higher. Buyers, it may
be added, do not take hold freely of the new
barley, they decidedly preferring to wait for
that which will be threshed from the stacks.
The White Bear crop, above mentioned, of
200 bushels, was raised on only three acres
of ground-an average of 662ss bushels per
acre. Of course this was on exceptionally
good ground, but the yield, equal to
$36 662aa per acre, may serve to help con-
vince some of our wheat growers that a

terday morning from his large farm near
Window. He says his wheat will be ready
for cutting the first of next week and that

looking splendidly.

who is one in the fullest sense of the word
not man who is a Democrat because his
father or grandfather was, or that he is be-
lever in the dead issues of the past, but one
who is Democrat as to the living
and stirring issues of the present.
We are tired of milk and water Democrats,
and we want nominee who dare speak his
sentiments at all times and on all proper
occasions. In this State we have SO many
pretended Democrats who Lave been con-
verts to their own solemn convictions of right
and wrong long enough. We want heroes
to lead US in this political contest, and We
want no chronic grumbler or man who bolts
his ticket at every other election because he
cannot dictate who shall be nominated. We
are tired of that class Of men who rather
rule in hell than serve in Heaven. Aud We
want clean, pure man, whose private and
public career is q guaranty that he will
serve Us in the halls of Iegisla-
ton with fidelity and integrity.
And we also want man whose sympathies
are with the people in their struggles against
the gigantic corporations of the country.
We are travelling with rapid strides towards
Capitalization of power, and the rich are
growing richer and the poor are growing
poorer. We have De Golyer and back-psy
statesmen enough. We want legislators
without railroad passes in their pockets and
without retaining fees for legislative jobs.

will stand by him as the mariner stands by
his imperiled ship. With any other We shall
go down with defeat. Very respectfully,
