the representatives of the party plant
themselves upon the old reputation
platform, and denounce their leader,
John s. Pillsbury, for his course in
endeavoring to retrieve the lost honor of
the State, or will they, disregarding the
howlings of the Dispatch, and the
little creatures of the press, so
properly characterized by the late
Horace Greeley, be brave and honest
enough to declare that the time has come
to relieve Minnesota from the odium
under which she has so long suffered, by
refusal, under Republican rule. to pay
her honest debts3
AS citizens, we should rejoice to see
the Republican party converted from the
error of its ways; as Democrats, from a
party standpoint, we would prefer that
it continue to wallow in the mire Of dis
honesty and reputation, which seems td
be its original element.

THE COyPENTION TO-DAY.

The Republicans are in state of high
excitement. Their State convention
meets at noon to-day, and the scramble
is immense Candidates are thicker than
the proverbial blackbird, and button hol-
ing is INDUCED to an extent which is
painful. Of course the great contest is
for the gubernatorial prize. 1t is con-
coded by every one that Gen. Hubbard
tain TO have not less than l35 votes on the
frs tallot. This leaves him twenty more
to gain to secure the nomination. His
friends claim they have enough on the first
ballot to give him the nomination. The
opponents of Gen. Hubbard were making
desperate effort last night to combine,
but they could not form successful ring.
Unless they do SO pretty soon, all hope
will be gone. Gen. Hubbard is so near
the goal that his success appears to be
almost certainty.
1t is very evident that Gen. Hubbard S
strength has been greatly augmented by
the malicious assaults of the Pioneer Press.
They drove no one away, and brought
many to his support. The demand OF
Hennepin county for Judge Vanderburgh
takes Pillsbury out of the race, and the
Hubbard men claim from sixteen to
twenty votes out of the twenty-ene dele
gates from that county.
Efforts were being made last night to
make combinations on Gilman or Clark
Thompson against Hubbard, but neither
movement bore fruit. Mr.. McGill has a
good deal of strength, but it does not
seem to be of the fighting variety.
His cause has been damaged by
the unfair attempt of the p. p
to link his candidacy with that of Pills
bury. This was intended as a covert
stab.
Taking the situation at late hour last
night, the GLOBE prediction would be
that Gen. Hubbard would be the nomi-
nee for governor on the second ballot.
If this is the case the only changes
from present incumbents will probably be
Mr.. Braden for State Auditor, instead of
Mr.. Whitcomb, and Judge Vanderburgh
instead of Judge Greenleaf Clark.

The Party IF Repatriation
rSt. Paul pispatch,1

Words of warning to the Republicans
of Minnesota multiply with each sue
ceeding day. Thoughtful men all over
the state are beginning to see, with the
Dispatch, that there are breakers are
ahead, and to feel that it will require all
the wisdom and conversation of the best
men in the party, to prevent q crisis in
the coming state convention which may
rend the party in twain. The Rushford
Star publishes call, signed by many
citizens, for meeting to elect delegates
to the Waseca convention, and speaks
editorially on the subject of the extra
session as follows:
The bonds will not fall due until December,
1888. Before then new legislature will be
selected, and elected, too, we trust, with a
view of seizlng this railroad bond bull by the
horns. The present legislature has left q
record for extravaganza unequalled by any be-
fore it, unless it was the first. The meeting
Of the extra session will be compelled to re-
main in session long enough to elect United
States senator to fill Mr.. WINDOWS vacancy,
which will, if adjourned Immediately after,
cost the state over $685. 900. II it gets into o
senatorial deadlock, it may last until January
at cost of $25o,00O. But the worst thing of
all, it throws fire brand into the fall cam
paign, which may cost the party dear. We
want Republicans to remember that the Dem
ocratic party in Minnesota made itself SO obi
GUS in 1858, upon this very ques-
ton, and by It's party endorse
ment of it in 1859, that the people
voted 1T out of power, and it has been gadding
restlessly about ever since like the Wandering
Jew. We want Republicans to remember
that it was because that party pledged itself in
1859, IN its platform, "1o forever oppose any
proposition looking to a settlement Of the So
called railroad bonds, unless said proposition
,pas first submitted to the people," that the
Republican party obtained power in this state;
that in accordance with the above solemn
pledge the constitution was amended in 1860,
and the so called expusging amendment was
passed; and that, it is because the party
as a party has never disavowed this policy,
that she has been kept in power.
Members of the party may, like three
of the supreme judges and Gordon E. Cole,
who voted for this very amendment in 1860,
when they were younger and more radical
than they are now, became venal or conserve
tive, and want to go back on that principle or
policy, but the rank and file will not, and we
fear that this extra session may prove the last
Republican legislature of the state of Mime
sofa.
We published, yesterday, an extract
from the Dulnth Tribune, speaking in a
similar strain. These two expressions of
opinion, coming from opposite extremes
of the state, are indicative of the wide
spread excitement and indignation which
this ill-advised action of our over-zealous
governor has produced.

ELG1N AND PLAIxvIEW BONDS.
Decision by the United States
Circuit Court Sustaining Bonds Issued
Under Chaptar LOG. g. l.. of 1877.

Important Decision by the United States
Circuit Court Sustaining Bonds Issued
Under Chapter 1O6. G, L. Of 1877.
In the United States circuit court for the
district Of Minnesota decision by Judge Mel
son, Judge McCrary coneurring, was filed in
the two suits of Samuel Marshall and Others,
one against the town of Elgin and the other
against the town of Plainview. The actions
were brought to recover on interest coupons
due on bonds issued to the PiaInview railroad
company, under authority of an act Of the leg
islature, which bonds were purchased by
plaintiffs without notice of any of the matters
relied on as defences, except such as appear on
their face.
In the history of the case 1t is recited that a
taxpayer of Plainview brought an action to
restrain tie town officers from executing and
delivering the bonds, on trial of which the
district court found for defendants. Pending
an appeal by plaintiff to the supreme court,
the district court dissolved the temporary in
junction and dismissed the action, and the
next day the town issued the bonds. Several
months afterward the supreme court of Min
nesota, on trial of the appeal, decided
that the legislative act under which
the bonds were issued was unconstitu-
tional and void. Judge Nelson holds that
the recitals in the bonds are conclusive evil
dence in favor of the plaintiffs, who pur-
chased without other information than APP
pears on the face of the bonds and is that all
conditions prescribed by law had been CON-
piled with. A prior decision by the supreme
court of the state on the same legislative act
in the opinion of Judge Nelson was recog-
milton of the validity of the law; it at least ia
vored the laws validity, and it was rendered
when the bonds of Elgin were in the mar
ket and when the railroad company was en-
titled to the bonds of Plainview. Under
these circumstances the subsequent decision is
held not to be followed to the prejudice OF
bona fide holders of the bonds or coupons.
"These bonds having been purchased by plain
tiffs before the decision in the Harrington
case. and no previous expression by the court
other than that contained in State vs.. Town OF
Highland are clean obligations to pay not f.
fected by the last decision of the court" \
Il 4 The rule that all persons are bound to
does not apply to negotiable
securities" Plaintiffs entitled to judgment
in each case, and so ordered.
It is said this decision is final, at least as to
the coupons, the amount involved not being
enough to allow an appeal to the United States
supreme court.

WILL THEY CONTINUE TO REPUDI-
ATE?

We reproduce in this issue a candid
and well written article from the Rush
ford Star, Republican paper of the I'LL
ira type, which distinctly asserts the
fact that its party is the reputation party,
that it came first into power in the State
because it opposed the payment of the
railroad bonds, that Alexander Ramsey
was elected governor over the democratic
candidate, Hon. George L. Becker, on
that issue, and that the party has con-
tinued dominant in Minnesota by simply
its adherence to that position. Every
citizen, of ordinary intelligence, is aware
of the truths contained in the article,
and that during twenty years last past,
the Republican party, with large ma
jority in successive legislatures, has re-
peatedly and emphatically refused TO
make provision for the payment of inter-
est upon the bonds, although the con-
stitutional amendment authorizing their
issue, solemnly pledged the faith and
credit of the State in advance for the
payment Three of the Republican
governors Davis and Pills
bury-have in vain endeavored to pre-
vail upon their party to be honest. Their
repeated appeals to the legislature to do
Justice to the bondholders, and thus erase
the stain of reputation under which the
State has so long rested, met with no re-
Spouse until the last session, when pro-
vision was made conditionally to accept
the creditors proposition of so per cent.

ton was, however, so encountered with
restrictions as to be ineffective
It remains to be seen what utterance

bonds. The subject cannot be ignored.
