PLAYING FOR POINTS.


The Correspondence of the Republican
Nominees for Congress la the First DIS
trSct.
Hon. Nj. H. Dunnell.
DEAR SIR: While have no doubt that
was fairly nominated by majority of the
undoubted delegates to the late convention
at Waseca, without the least solicitation by
me, and that such nomination, in case our
respective candidates. continue, will be sus-
tanned by majority of the Republican
electors of the district, still / am deeply
sensible that neither of US has the right to
imperiI the party by persisting in rivalry
which may prove disastrous to interests, COM
pared with which ours are insignificant in
deed.
am very clear that the duty devolves
upon ms to end the present controversy be-
fore the resentments which it will finally &C.
casion, if persisted in, become implacable.
For these reasons l now make the follow
ing proposition: That each of rs withdraw
definitely as candidate under the present
nominations; and also that each of us with
draw as, and pledge himself not to be a can
didate for nomination by another convention;
that some new man upon whom the party
can unite be placed in nomination by new
convention, to be called by the State central
committee, or by the two present congress
sional committees, if such be deemed the
better Notwithstanding hereby that the new
convention shall be selected by the people of
each county, and that there shall not be q
reassemblage of the convention which was
recently held.
furnish copy of this letter to the pub
lie press, in order that the bitter feeling
throughout the district may be assuaged
while awaiting your answer. trust that
you will entertain this proposition in the
spirit in which it is made, and that you will
find it convenient to make speedy reply.
Such reply will be awaited for five days from
this date. Yours truly, W. G. WARD.

Hayes because he was too much of poll

II is said that Bismarck contemplates a

Syllabus-In an action on contract, if on
trial, the plaintiff is permitted without objec-
ton to prove the contract, and valid considera-
ton for it, this cures any insuf6ciency of the
complaint in the statement of the considera-
ton. A written promise to pay money, which
states that it is ''for value received" shows q
valid consideration.

IT is the unanimous opinion of the press

The "Judge" Orion, of Wisconsin, who
has recently declared for Garfield, should
not be confounded with Judge Harlow s.
Orion, of the supreme court of that State.
The latter is man of wide influence and
great erudition, and is staunch supporter
of Gen. Hancock.

JAY GOULD predicts that Hancock will be
elected. He has not yet got over his disap-

and won't chip in to assist in Garfisld's
election. Gould is sensible, but there is
nothing to hinder him from contributing to
make his prediction certainty.

Syllabus-When upon an allegation of tender
of debt, the proof shows that money was not
produced, but that the debtor offered
to pay, and informed the creditor
that he then had the money ready to pay, the
creditor refusing to accept it. it is error to
clude evidence that the debtor then had the
money with him ready to pay.
A note after the promise to pay snm stated
continued: And if not paid when due, and
the same is sued, ten dollars if sued in Justice
court, and twenty five dollars if sued in dis
trict court additional to defray the expenses
of plaintiff for his sueing the same, TO be enter
ed up as part of the Judgment
Held, The right to the additional sum does
not accrue, if before suit brought the debtor
tenders the amount due on the
note, and the creditor refuses
to receive it, even though it does not appear
that the debtor at all times after the tender
held the money ready to pay, there being no
subsequent demand by the creditor.
