DUNNELL FOR CONGRESS.

The Window Republican organs, both
in and out of the First District, are ex-
pressing great alarm over the proposition
to place Mr.. Dunnell in the field as an
Independent candidate for congress. The
$4,000 Window organ in this city, is es-
pecially disgruntled and, AS usual when it
has no arguments, falls into congeni al
blackguardlsm.
These Window organs express great
solicitude for Mr.. Dunnell's future an the
Republican party. They are very sure he
will not be enticed into any democratic
trap" to repudiate the party
which has so long ihonored him with
its support. Their solicitude for Mr..
Dunnell's political welfare is touching in
the extreme. 1t has grown immensely
since the convention at Rochester ad-
journed. These Window organs had no
such quickened consciences in Dunnell's
behalf when they were slandering him
and bringing out Yale as local candi-
date to carry Winona county, or Lawrence
to carry Wabashaw, or White to carry
Fillmore, or when Window was buying
on Sunday the delegates elected for Dun
nell on Saturday In Freedom county,
There were no bowels of compassion
gripping over the problem of Mr.. Dun
nell's polltica future about those days.
These Window organs need have no
anxiety relative to Mr.. Dunnells future
His future certainly does not lie in fol-
lowing any advice he may receive from
them. No one has asked or suggested
that MIR. Dunnell sacrifice any principle
or leave his party, or accept Democratic
nomination, or anything of the kind.
The proposition is that the Democratic
convention of the First District should
simply decline to put any candidate in
the field, or recommend any can
didate, but leave it TO the
good judgment of the voters to decide
the issue at the ballot-box. If this was
done there is no doubt Mr. Dunnell would
be willing to enter the lists against White.
He did not go into the Rochester conven-
ton, and owes it no party allegiance.
He owes it no party allegiance for the
more cogent reason that the convention
was composed of pack of purchased
political cattle, who had sold themselves
to Window for various considerations
including cash.
LIS there any court in Christendo m
which would not set aside verdict
found by jury which it was notorious
had been paid to render their decision ?
The jury at Rochester was a purchased
affair, and their action binds no one
not even themselves-for they would
probably sell again to some one else. if
they had the chance.
Mr.. Dunnell is not asked to engage in
triangular contest. On the contrary.
if the Democrats insist on making nom.
nation in the First District, the GLOBE
most emphatically advises Mr.. Dunnell
Though it knows such advice is unneces-
sary) not to enter the lists. The defeat
of Mr.. Window by the defeat of Milo
White is what the GLOBE is advocating
and a three cornered fight will not
accomplish that end.
The Democrats hold the key to the Sit
uatlon. If they can have the sagacity to
defeat White in the First and Nelson in
the Fifth Districts the Window crowd
will have no occasion for a Senatorial
caucus when the Legislature meets next
winter. Their caucus will be a hopeless
minority.

cans in behalf of Democratic nomination
