WHY DIR. Il. n. A4ES WILL BE
ELECTED.

EAEClED.
There is an amusing difference of opin-
ion expressed by the two Washburn papers
in Minneapolis, the Journal and the Tiib-
ure, respecting the three-cornered con-
gressional campaign. The first states that
the candidacy of DR.. Phillips, an old-time
Democrat, upon the third party ticket, will
draw from the Democratic vote, while the
other is constantly deploring the alleged
fact that every vote cast for DR.. Phillips is
vote cast for DR.. Ames. There is nothing
like mathematics, and the goody-goody
old man of the Tribune, who has utterly
failed to induce its readers to believe that
the present Democratic administration
Of this city (which is acknowledged by
every fair-minded citizen as by far the
best, in every respect, ever enjoyed
since its incorporation us response
BILE for every evil which
was inaugurated under Republican rule, is
mathematical nlonstrosity. DR.. Phillips
stands as a representative of an independ-
ant third party. His party, like all such
organizations, must draw its strength large
~ from independent men who do not
closely affiliate with either of the
old parties. They may have sometimes
voted one party ticket and sometimes
another, but as rule they will be found
to be men not under the whip and lash of
any organization. Whichever party
chances to have received the most support
from these independent voters, while there
was no third party, will suffer the most by
its organization.
Bill Washburn will be defeated, but not
by the prohibitionists. He will be defeat
ed simply because DR.. Ames is the better
man to fill the congressional seat in every
sense. Because the Democrats of the
Fourth congressional district are thor
oughly disguised with being represented
by man who has no other ambition than
to put money in his purse; who has been
during three years their representative in
congress, and who during that time simply

the halls of congress- subject in which
his constituency has not the slightest in.

have given him a competent trial, and
they have found him devoid of every
ability expected and required of a repre-

That is why the boilers of the Fourth
