The believer of the Pi-Press would think
that two-thrds of the Republican convention
was opposed to Donnelly. It was not so.
small majority was opposed to him on the
other candidates, Gen. Hubbard being third
in strength.
He would suppose Gen. Hubbard was the
unanimous nominee of twO-thirds of the Re-
publican convention. He would never dream
that the managers of that section of the con
vention which met in the proper hall, among
whom Gen. Hubbard's friends had no influ-
ence, arranged that the nomination was to be
first given to another candidate and declined,
and then tossed to Gen. Hubbard as one about
whose future none of the managers cared a
continental, and who would be able at least to
defeat Donnelly, as Andrews did, by letting in
Democrat That arrangement was made
and carried out without Hubbard's consent;
he did not even know till after he had been
notified of his nomination and accepted it,
that it had been previously rendered to another
man and by him declined.

This is fuller of Misrepresentation than
most of the EDITORS writings against Gen.
Hubbard. It was not Gen: Hubbard that was
frightened The proposition to arbitrate did
not come from him. 1t did not come from
Doupelly, either. 1t came from st. Paul,
from Ramsey's home, from the managers who
bestowed the nomination which they expect
ID tn lead to defeat, ON Gen. Hubbard after
their preferred cand date had been compl-
mented with it and found it not to his liking;
it came from the Press crowd, from the found
or Of the Press, once, If not then, the partner
and always the trusted friend of the editor Of
the Pi.Prcss. 1t was urged upon Gen. Hub
bard by Republican of the highest standing,
in person, who stated, and no doubt truthfully,
that such course was approved by the leauing
Republicans of st. Paul who were aware that
the division in the Republican ranks Was
endangering the election of Republican
Congressman. The editor of the Pi-PreSS
claims, we believe, that ne ADVISED against 1t,
which only proves how Indifferent he was to
the success of the party, how all-satisfied he
would be if Donnelly and Hubbard both were
defeated The committee was not "packed in
Doppelly's interest" DOnnelly named two
arbitrators and Hubbard two, and the fifth
was selected by them from the First district.
If the fifth man was in Donnelly's interest it
was only because every Republican in the
lower district was in sympathy with him.
Gen. Hubbard did retire from the candidacy,
but not because he was untrue to the party,
but because he was made to feel that Others
assumed the right to dictate to him and
manage him at their will, with no re.
gard to his wishes or his self respect.
The strongest feeling on the part OF
some politicians of the upper part of the dis
trlct was then resentment against DOnnelly,
and wish at all cost to ensure his defeat.
Some of them had reason for such feelings,
and large number of Republican voters in
those parts shared them. But that was not
The case in Goodhue county, nor in Dakota,
nor in Wabashaw, nor in any part OF the State
with which Gen. Hubbard was personally &C.
QuaDted.
Immediately after Gen. Hubbard had adopt
To arbitrate the question of regularity Of NOM
nation, which was claimed by both candidates
and their adherents, and which had never been
decided by committee of credentials or Otner-
wise, he was made to understand that the
managers were not united in recommending
the arbitration, or that those who
recommended it had intended the pro-
posed arbitration only as ruse, decep-
ton, not to be really carried out. Two meet
ings were held of interested Republicans, at
one of which he was given to understand that
the Republicans whom they represented expect
ed negotiations to be broken of. He stated that
the Republicans in his own part of the dist
rlct were not of that way of thinking, and
subsequently, the organization of the choice

later meeting, some Republicans, who were
,nceused to think that this man, on whom

worthless nomination and who consented to
rbrltrate on their advice, would not with

De tier knowledge and understanding of each

Hubbard was driven from the track by mama

otherwise play the dog for Office, to remain
longer under such command.
The second great departure OF Gen. Hubbard
from the Pi-Press ideal Of fit candidate for
office was in opposing the third term of Sena
tor Ramsey. The editor holds Gen. Hubbard
responsible for Ramsey's defeat, and there
